Exciting times for sure. The great thing about this playoff race compared to previous ones is that we are in full control of our destiny. During the Sutter and Keenan eras we often needed help from other teams to make the playoffs, which often resulted in us backing in. As of now, as long as we keeping winning 4 out of 7, we'll be in full control. We've only played the Canucks once I think and they've been able to rack up points against the Oilers unlike us. We seem to be cursed against them lately so I'm hoping we can steal a couple points from them and finally leap them. And as fun as it is watching the Oilers stumble, I'm hoping they start to win a bit more just to give us a bit of an extra cushion. It will all balance itself out in the end. But this is first time since 05/06 that I haven't been scoreboard watching praying for help from other teams. We are in control. And what a great spot to be in. Should have been competing for McJesus and instead we're head to head with the best in the league.
