What a gutsy win tonight by the Edmonton Oilers to bring themselves to 4-0. They played probably their worst first period so far in the season, and then bounced back heroicly in the second period to win the game. I have to personally say that after the first period i thought it was over already, i hoped that what happened in the second period would happen but never thought it would. The Oilers of the last 5 years would have most likely collapsed and accepted the loss. However something just seems to be completely different this year with this group of players. Seeing Ethan Moreau score that first goal in the comeback, was like watching Mel Gibson charge into battle as Braveheart. It just gets the Oiler fan beyond excited. As was watching Andrew Cogliano burn around adrian aucoin and wire the puck into the top right hand corner of the net. It seemed like it was destiny tonight for the Oilers to win. I have never been more excited as an Oiler fan since we went to the cup final a few years back.
Yes it is still early in the season but somewhow i feel like this year is the year of the Oilers. They seem destined to be up there in the league with teams like dallas and san jose this year. As the Montreal Canadiens showed last year, a young lineup with lots of speed and heart can play with the best. That is this years Oilers. I guess all we can do now is watch them regain the greatness of the oilers past.
