Well, it appears the Oilers have gone not quite so gently into that good night. They may have gone out but they went out fighting in triple overtime.
Is it disappointing to be upset by Winnipeg? You bet. Even Ken Holland said so himself in his end of the year press conference. But, it’s not all bad.
You have to look past the surface, and past the result, but believe it or not, there was improvement in the performance of the Oilers this year. Maybe it’s just because I’m an optimist by nature, but there were still improvements in the team despite the disappointing end of the year.
