A brief note about the great Edmonton Oilers

In many ways, Tuesday was a hard day to be an Oilers fan. After watching in awe for the entire playoffs as the Oilers overcame everything from the Detroit Red Wings and the flu to the loss in the first game of the final series of Dwayne Roloson, the goaltender who played an enormous role in getting the Oilers to the finals, it’s almost unfathomable to think that they weren’t able to pull off a victory in the end. In other ways, though, it’s a great day to be an Oilers fan. Like anyone who has seen them play this season and especially during the playoffs, it’s hard not to be incredibly proud of all they achieved. I can’t recall the last time I’ve watched every game of a series from the first round to the last in the Stanley Cup playoffs. And, it was all GREAT hockey! Wish I could be in Edmonton this week for the rally for the team at City Hall.

My sister has some fine thoughts on all this as well on her fab blog.

So, anyone ready for next year yet? How long until training camp?
