I know this shouldn’t be affecting me so hard. I’ve been hiding a lot of stress and big feelings the last calendar year, if not a little longer. Keeping it locked inside. I thought this promotion and move closer to the wife’s parents would have kicked a lot of my mental anguish, but these last two weeks have been really hammering me mentally. Sleep is almost nonexistent of late.
Been so pumped the Oilers made the playoffs, I was in grade 12 during the ‘06 finals run so haven’t had the pleasure of cheering for our team throughout many meaningful seasons or playoff runs for that matter. Like a lot of you, I’m sure.
Watching the Oilers this season, listening on Ched while I haven’t been able to watch, had been a real ‘release’ for me. An escape. And to think that the season is likely coming to an end here pretty darn quick... well it’s hitting me.
I want to thank each and every one of you that have put up with me and my posts this season, accepted the Must TM movement and for providing me an escape from reality. Though we don’t know each other personally, there’s no one here I wouldn’t sit down for a beer with and just shoot the poo.
I know I’ll come out the other side of this tunnel I’m in, eventually. I really meant it earlier MJ, thank you for all you do and for keeping this place running. And thank you, again, to each and every one of you for adopting this kid from Saskatchewan into the Oilfans family.

The ones we love hurt us the most. However, to be honest, I wasn’t all that bothered by this series as it has unfolded thus far. Part of me never believed that this team is built for playoff hockey with that defence and those bottom 2 lines. Thus, I just feel detached from what is happening.
In 2006 it was different because the team had one of the best d-men in the league and goals coming from everywhere in their line-up to go along with red-hot goaltending. This team is far too reliant on their top 2 guys for any offence, and at least the bottom pairing on their D likely wouldn’t make the starting roster on a real Cup contender especially Bear. Whether I continue to feel this detachment is largely dependent on whether Holland can address the team’s many deficiencies.
