I had originally wanted this one done months ago with no words, just a video, but apparently, my editor tells me I need a minimum of 300 words in a blog, and at the time I couldn’t think of anything more to say about this moment in Edmonton Oilers history but there’s been plenty of time to reflect on it, so now I think I can swing it.
This is significant for a number of reasons. The team was playing in a shortened season so nobody was expecting it – but if anyone could do it, everyone knew Connor could.
