Went to the game Sunday against Sabres. By mid game when Eichel hit the ice the crowd would chant:
CONNORS BETTER!
CONNORS BETTER!
Ha, couldn't hear the chant on TV but a buddy relayed it to me, that's a good one by Oiler fans.
3 game win streak, awesome. Nice to be somewhat relevant again even if it is in the worst division (by far) in the NHL. If we can somehow stay 2-3 points out until McDavid gets back we may have a shot at playing meaningful hockey in February and March. Hopefully Anders the Giant can keep playing real solid in net like he has the last few games.
I still don't see a playoff spot because:
1. Looking at the Central standings it's clear the Pacific is only going to get 3 playoff teams.
2. I don't see how the Oilers end up ahead of any of the California teams.
3. I don't want to count the Canucks out of a playoff spot.
Anyways, time to enjoy the ride, I'm going to the game on Wednesday and am excited about that for the first time in awhile!
