The kids are all right.
Pete Townshend could have written those lyrics about The Edmonton Oilers, on Thursday night, as the kids who will need to shoulder the weight of this franchise over the years to come did their jobs when it mattered the most. In the end, one of the worst teams in the NHL over the past 9 years mounted an unlikely comeback, from 3-nothing after one to 4-3 after 3. And they did it against the team with the best record in the NHL, and against the best goaltender in the world.
Is that any good…or what?
