Oh ye of little faith

So the Oilers pulled off a win 8 minutes into double overtime last night. It was quite exciting I must say. Towards the end of the first overtime it looked as though Detroit had won, but the puck had slid under the net. Those poor Red Wings, all hugging each other and happy. You had to feel sorry for them. Just a little. But not too much, that would just be wrong.

Next game's tomorrow. Can the Oilers pull off another win? Can they take this series? It's the number one team vs. the number 14 team. On paper, you wouldn't think it at all. They say though that it is often the team that wants it the most that wins. That has to be the Oilers. It has been sooooooo long for them. Certainly, the Oilers fans want it more than the Red Wings fans, if you judge by the noise in Rexall Place as compared to Joe Louis.

Still, no point in getting ones hopes up only to suffer crushing defeat. It's just that you sort of can't help it. It's been 16 years after all.
