right at the end!! my bad

good work bro!!

Yeah, I did. I appear to have been mistaken. They could mathematically make it happen in the same way I mathematically have a shot at marrying Scarlet Johanssen

"Mathematically" is thrown around more than it should be. LA was done probably 2 weeks ago. I don't know the exact date Colorado was "mathematically" eliminated, but the writing was on the wall in November.

Not too many years ago the Oilers were effectively out of the running for the playoffs before the end of the night on October 31st. Not "Mathematically" until months later.

Basically, the Oilers are already in and the Kings are road kill, but it's tradition to pretend

SUCK IT JERROOOO!!!

Did I miss something guy?

I concur, but it has happened before. Look at Minnesota and the Sharks. The Sharks had a huge lead. But the Flames need a point and the Blues three so yes that would be a good nail in the coffin. The year the Blues were swept by the Canucks, no one thought in December they had a chance.

great blog Hendy, we all went through the "gory years" in our own way. Whether it's tonight or another game, the playoff clinching night will be one to celebrate!

...but dude, you need to let the Hall trade go. The Oilers are so much better without him, and to be honest I don't think the Devils are much better with him. There's a certain attitude that is needed to be a champion and Hall doesn't seem to have it.

Here is my prediction: barring some last minute rental player trade-deadline situation late in his career....Taylor Hall won't get his name on the cup.

I hated the Hall trade but have to admit Larsson has grown on me and we are a better team with him over Hall.

Quite the luxury to be able to expend Taylor Hall because "the next one" is on the roster though. haha

I count us VERY lucky, even with the lost decade.

The team finally has an identity and a direction.... it's time for Chia to restock the prospect cupboards.
