I was dreading an oilers win but at some point, who cares. Other fanbases have to deal with their rivals winning championships all the time and they don’t lose their #### over it. If anything we’ve been spoiled, and it will hopefully drive a reality check home to flames and their management.

This isn't exactly true though, teams learn to deal with the pressure of a potential cup win and the Oilers with "nothing to lose" now have something to lose again. Tons of teams have come back to make it 3-2 but not all the way back.
You obviously haven't looked at the odds because teams that go down 3-0 and force game six lose game six more often than not.
