I was visited by The Man last night. Around 12:30am, Care and I were enjoying an episode of American Dad, when we heard a very loud knock at the door. We exchanged concerned looks, unsure of whether we should answer it right away. Then came the knocking again, louder even this time; loud enough that it startled us both into moving quietly next to the door to try and discern who on earth would be outside at this hour.

Seeing as I posted a few times last week about the Edmonton Oilers, it seems only fair that I round things out with a quick note-for-posterity’s-sake that the Oilers did not win the Cup after all. A very sad affair overall, but it’s hard to fault the team for anything. They put forth a tremendous effort, and the fact they made it to the seventh game of the finals at all was nothing short of a miracle. It really felt like a strong team effort, and while I’m sure it isn’t really any consolation to them at this point, I hope they still feel proud of how far they made it.

The Oilers have made a fan out of me, at any rate; here’s looking forward to another year of exciting hockey from them, and a good Stanley Cup showing, particularly if the Habs are eliminated in the first round again…
