After coming up short in '04, an Oilers cup in '06 would of been a complete implosion of the hockey universe for us. Thankfully, the Carolina Hurricanes saved us. Flames fans owe the Canes a debt we can never repay.
Watching them lose in game seven, I felt a great disturbance, as if millions of Oilers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. It was beyond delicious. I have nothing to cheer for but hatred in these playoffs. It flows through me.
