- Taylor Hall and Arizona win their play-in series while using the Oilers' dressing room
- Vancouver wins their play-in series, meaning the Oilers are the only Canadian Pacific Division team to not win their series in Edmonton
It's been a hell of a week and a half up in Edmonton.

I feel like Ernie McCracken in King Pin.
Strike 1 - After the Flames defeated Winnipeg.
Strike 2 - After the Oilers lost to Chicago.
Strike 3 - The draft lottery.
Throwing of the hand - continue to watch Flames hockey for at least little longer.
