"Too bad its over but I'm so proud of the Oilers, I just wanted some meaningful games down the stretch and they gave me so much more. I crawled into bed after the game last night with my bright orange 97 McLovin jersey and held myself tight, stroking the magical number 97 on my arms, knowing that the Edmonton Oilers are the bestest team in our hearts and in the NHL. It really isn't even close."

"I will hold my head high with visions of all the Stanley Cups that Connor McDavid will bring to the world class city of Edmonton in the future. Once they correct the thoughtless decision of taking down the "City of Champions" sign as you drive into the majestic city of Edmonton and put that bastion of truth back up, things will obviously be different."

"Next year the Oilers will be so much better, as you must lose in order to win. These guys have learned what is needed to win the Cup and will work on it all summer."

"McDavid will be 25% less awkward, Lucic will be so much faster, Nurse will gain seven IQ points, The Tenderness will put on thirty pounds of muscle and constantly test his skin with butter knives.
Kassian will get fused with an adamantium skeleton complete with Wolverine claws to match his horribad beard, Maroon will be 18 to 20% less of a Maroon.
Eberle plans to give back 4.5M of his contract annually to the Oilers Cap, Pouliot is going to change his name to Gouliot to lose that feces reference and Talbot will attempt to grow a third arm."

"It has only taken ten plus years to build something special, but this is 100% more special than the something special it has been in past years. The organization has shown that it has perfected the lottery and now we are so good, we don't need that anymore. We've moved on. We've adapted. We were one goal away from winning the Stanley Cup, err I mean making it to the Conference Finals and have alerted the entire league of our impending greatness, complete with bringing the Great One, McDavids magical number 97 plus two numbers equaling 99, Mr. Wayne Gretzky back into the fold."

"If it wasn't for horrible reffing, the Playoffs would already be over and Kevin Lowes wife would be eating McNuggets out of the Stanley Cup. So I will say again, I'm so proud of the Oilers. Did you see the anthems at Rogers Place?! Something special. Orange Crush. Women with bruises on their legs? Incoherent muttering. Something special..."

Lmao sure we will go with this.

And then wax poetically about the Oilers for a while. AO will use advanced stats to justify why Eberle was awesome during the playoffs. Cause that's what he does.

They'll wait for the actual memories to fade from this series that showed the Ducks pretty much pushing Edmonton's stool in while Talbot kept it close and reframe it as Oilers dominance. They'll talk about McDavids leadership because the guys at sportsnet say wo.

And then the cycle will start again as what's happened before will happen again.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I have zero interest in the playoffs now. It was a good season.. Excited for next season. My Kids race Motocross so we are gearing up for that.
