So as I am sure you have all figured out by now I am a die hard Oilers fan. This playoff run they have had has been amazing. The have done things that no one gave them a chance in doing. They started off by disposing of the NHL's leading team (Detroit Red Wings) in 6 games, then after being down 2 games to none against the San Jose Sharks they came back and won the series by winning 4 straight games. They then finished off the Anaheim Mighty Ducks in 5 games to win the Western Conference Championship.
And now here they are....down 3 games to 1 to a very good hockey team. History is not on their side as they try to win tonight to force a game 6. Will they do it? I sure hope so! But if they don't I will still be the same die hard Oilers fan I have always been, I will still pay for the hockey package every season so I can watch my beloved team play each and every game. Only 1 team in the history of sports has come back from a deficit like this in a championship series and that was 54 years ago. Could the Oilers do it? Sure they could. Will they? I don't know. What I do know is that come game time tonight at 8pm I will be in front of my TV with my jersey and hat on, I will drink my Canadian beer and I will cheer them on. If it all ends tonight I will still be an Oiler fan and I will be proud of what they did to get where they are now. No one gave them a chance to get this far and they proved them all wrong.GO OILERS GO!!!

It is so funny because now when I see them in the news I stop and read the article to see what they are up to just because of you. LOL
Is it possible to be an oiler fan through you? LOL

GO OILERS!!

Sorry - Jeremy cheers for the Oilers and I can't bring myself to do it. Whenever Carolina scores, I cheer! How can I help myself - my old Flame boy Commodore is on their team! I say you're either an Oilers fan or a Flames fan - there's no room for both....sorry!
Good luck tonight but I think we are going to take the cup!
Looks like your team is another game ahead. I agree with Tammy I find it hard to cheer for the Oil. I do try for Chris's sake.
THEY "DO-ED" IT!!! YAY!!! THEY LIVE TO PLAY ANOTHER DAY!!!
Woohoo! They won!
So, I just know that one of these days you're going to post about hockey (again) and throw something in the middle of it just for me...just to see if I read it! LOL!
Well, I am for Edmonton. Yes, I've been a Flames Fan since I was a kid, but I also lived in Edmonton for 3 years and I loved it there. So I am all behind the Oilers! I think they can do it! They need to start SHOOTING the puck though!
