  • 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.
