"A joke no more, the Edmonton Oilers begin to expect Stanley Cups"

"We can officially file the Decade of Darkness into the history books — its chapter entitled: “The Old Boys Club — A Cautionary Tale” — and we’ll open a new book in Edmonton, one where simply having a good November is no longer the barometer"

“We’re not expecting to sneak into the playoffs — we’re going after Division titles. The Stanley Cup, it’s no longer the hope here. It’s the goal.”

"The good news? Edmonton will answer similar roster questions this summer facing the 29 other NHL clubs, but the two people finding the answers — McLellan and GM Peter Chiarelli — are two of the best in the business."
