Oilers wasted 8 years of prime McLotteryball and Pissy, but when you have that kind of talent up front I guess it was inevitable that eventually things would click and start going their way. Unfortunately this is shaping up to be that year.
Everything has gone right for them. First they fluked out by drawing a piss-poor Kings team in round 1, and then luck struck again when they faced a beat up Vancouver team missing their starting goaltender who didn't bother to show up in games 6 and 7.
Dallas had a great opportunity to completely crush the Oilers' spirits in game 4 after jumping out to a 2-0 lead. But then strangely pulled a complete no-show for the next 4 straight periods. And now here we are with the most embarrassing and reprehensible franchise in pro sports essentially just 1 win away from advancing to the Cup final.
No one deserves to witness this nightmare of a timeline, but it's pretty clear at this point that the hockey gods hate all of us and want us to suffer.
