It’s somewhat fitting that exactly 28 -years after the Chicago Blackhawks swept the Oilers in the Western Conference Finals, it was announced that hockey will be returning and these teams will meet again. It’s pretty insane how things like that tend to work themselves out.
All-time, the Oilers hold the lead with a 3-1 record in their four playoff meetings. It’s been 30 years since the last time the Oilers beat the Blackhawks in the playoffs though. It’ll truly be something interesting to see.
There are people already predicting Chicago to upset the Oilers, which would be something interesting.
