I have to say, I love the way that Edmonton lost maybe even more than the fact that Edmonton lost. Toews setting up the game winning goal on a battle down low that was decided on competitive drive is wonderful, followed by the Oilers taking a too many men penalty that is virtually an expression of a team not on the same page.
The Oilers showed unequivocally that they are not a hockey team. They are two globe trotters with a bunch of hangers on, and their two globe trotters can't beat anyone but the generals.
This feels like such a great victory for character, competitive drive, sacrifice for team success, and commitment to each other in a team.
The Oilers have none of that. They belong on the junk heap of history.
