I've been waiting for Oilers playoff hockey for ages, and despite what anyone says, this counts.

I heard this on radio sports news. It is perhaps because Canada has been effective in tamping down the pandemic so their testing of teams comes back negative. Not like the U.S. major league baseball season. Basketball is planned to be played without fans, in a bubble. Hope that works.
All NHL games will be played in either Edmonton or Toronto or front of no fans. Players and staff are expected to remain in their bubbles for the duration.
A strange playoff to be sure, but a welcome one.

Since my Mighty Ducks aren’t playing this time, it’s time for the Golden Knights to win it all.
Were the Golden Knights the first expansion team in history to go as far in the playoffs as they did in their first year?
Technically the Avs win when they first moved from Quebec would count, but the Golden Knights started from scratch and made it to the Finals.
The Blues went to the Cup Finals in 1968, but it doesn’t really matter. There are way more teams now.
Rooting for the Caps, looked good in the exhibition vs the Canes. But, Carlson went out, tentative tomorrow for Game 1. We need that star for sure.
Canes game was great!
And, Montreal beats Pittsburgh, didn't see that coming (in OT). I always root against the hated Pens, but don't count them out ever.

I'm a Canucks fan and the Oilers getting Shellacked was the best part of my night...and the Pens Losing in OT.
Bummed the Flames put it on the Jets so badly. Excited for my guys to take the ice tonight!
Being a canucks fan it makes sense you would have to live vicariously through the success/failure of other teams
You can borrow one of Pittsburgh’s 5 cups for a couple days if you want, just so Vancouver can find out what it feels like to have one...
Being a pens fan I always rooted against the Caps too, however after dominating them for like a decade straight in the playoffs I was actually happy to see the caps finally win one a couple years ago. A lot of talent on that team that deserved it, including a few former pens.
I know what it feels like to be perpetually on the losing end of those rivalries for so long so it wasn’t so bad to see them get off the schneid. But they got their cup, so I am once again hoping they go down in flames immediately?
I would expect no less of any Pens fan. Yeah, Hagelin is still hard see, but I got used to Orpik real fast!
A pipe friend, Capitals fan and major Redskins fan has finally given up on the Skins and switched allegiance to the Steelers. I told him I think there was some kind of rule against that.

Yeah I was sad to see both of them go. Hagelin has amazing speed and was part of a great line. And Orpik was a staple on the blue line for ages.
What? You can’t give up! You have to embrace the suck! Otherwise you wouldn’t truly appreciate the good times.
