I think he made a beautiful post and did a great job and he is good.
Went to the Caps-Cats game... I feel like this was a preview of what happens when Oshie leaves and it made me sad.

But then I saw Jagr's glorious mane and all was right with the world again.

Toronto pulling the lucky card as our first round opponent was neato too.

The kings cost us Battle of Alberta, battle of California. The Leafs cost us the battle of Ontario.

Except for the Flames, none of the Oilers rivals made the playoffs.

We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.
If nothing else, TMac vs Sharks is a somewhat interesting storyline for them to pitch, and we get to see four games of McDavid.

Weird coincidence, The Oilers also went 14-5-1 over their last 20, the difference being they clinched in march.

The Golden Knights cant lose their sense of humor, it's all they have.

It was 8 with an OTL right before it. This was right after our 4 game win streak to start the season in which we never won. There's a lot of really solid accomplishments this year actually.
