    Teams of Canada, Teams of Comebacks, Teams of Destiny

    The Day after in Edmonton is a pretty somber experience... I also realize thanks to Sirius and others how many Oiler fans we gained in North America listening to the Show, to ESPN, etc...

    The more I think about it though, despite every possible comeback that The Oilers could muster throughout the 15 wins, the more I think maybe it was the Canes writing the storyline. 2 Key spots:

    April 26, Canes down 2-0 in the series on the road in Montreal, down 1-0 with under 9 left, when Captain Love, Rod Brind'Amour scores the tying goal at 11:27 of the third setting up Staal in O/T, and the Canes don't look back...

    June 1, Game 7, Canes down 2-1 at home to Buffalo, Doogie Weight scores, setting up Brind'Amour again to win the game, again, just under 9 minutes remaining at 11:22 of the third to win the game...

    2 Key do-or-die situations that the Canes can can make one hel of a validation that they should be the ones hoisting the cup purely on Storyline...

    UGH..

    BB in Edmonton

    i thought this was decided in gm one when they let canes comeback from 3-0 if the oil win that game i think they win the series in 5

    that gm carried over to gm2 and left the oilers in a fog........i would of like to see what the sabres would of done with atleast 4 regular defensemen
