In no particular order;
- Backlund's emergence into a legit 2nd/3rd line NHLer
- Finally seeing management accept a rebuild is necessary
- Drafting three times in the first round (once it happens anyway, can't wait)
- Watching the prospects, Gilles, Brossoit, Wotherspoon and Gaudreau in particular.
- The Oilers whole season really ; They suck again after their arrogance all off-season. Kevin Lowe gets made to look a right arsehole at the presser hiring MacTavish and has to apologize to their fans. Schultz turns out to be basically a forward playing defence and finishes the season a team worst -20. Oilers re-hire MacTavish and Howson. Yakupov has the goof of the season moment after scoring in overtime. Gagner finally breaks out just as he's due for a new contract. Such a rich season of highlights for them.
