Oilers Playoffs 2006: 10 wins down, 6 to go

The Oilers are again the odds-favourite to win the Cup, and will be until Buffalo wins tonight (if they do... otherwise we remain the choice team).

Still no new BlueMile.ca postings. Come on dudes, you suck.

Battle of Alberta, Colby Cosh, and TSN.ca are all doing better jobs keeping track.

Even MapleLeafs.com has a writeup about the Oilers game. All of this cocky behaviour. Are we forgetting that just last series the Oilers came back from a 2-0 deficit to take the series in 6 games?

We're not out of the woods yet boys. And while Randy Carlyle is right that 1 goal per game isn't going to cut it for Anaheim this series, we're all forgetting that after so much effort the Oilers have only gotten 2 goals past Anaheim's hot goaltender in each game (both games ended 3-1 with an empty netter... the first two San Jose games both had a 2-1 score, in a weird creepy coincidence...Game 4 and Game 5 ended 6-3 in that series too... this is starting to concern me).

So come on Oilers: get your act together. Find a consistent weakness in this guy and spend all game tomorrow exploiting it: put a half dozen pucks past him if you get the urge. Otherwise a rejuvinated Quack Squad is going to be doing to us what we did to San Jose.
