Seeing the Habs in the Final, sure glad we didn't go for it this year.

Top 2 scorers in the NHL, likely consecutive Hart winners, including one of the greatest individual seasons of all time by someone who will go down as one of the best to ever play the game.

Top scoring Dman in the league. First time since Coffee in 86 iirc.

Probably the closest to a Norris trophy since Coffee in the 80s. Pronger was 7th in voting, thinking Darnell should be close to that.

Smith's .923 was the best save % ever on the Oilers over a season. His 2.31 GAA was 2nd to Tommy Salo's 2.22 in 2001-2002 in Oilers history. He's also likely to get some Vezina love, might be top 5. His 21-6-2 record was ridiculous.

If not this year - WHEN THE HELL is the right time to go for it? We didn't need a stud goalie. We didn't need a #1C, a true #1 dman, or even a PP specialist. WE needed very obtainable pieces. And now is the time to sell some future for some now...

Can't wait to hear more of the tempered expectations spewing out from these clowns' mouths.

I'm happy for my family members to get to see their team in the finals I suppose, but I am livid this morning knowing that this could easily have been us.

As the Habs have went along and found a way to get to the finals, I have wondered myself about what could have been for the Oilers. As I watch the Habs play, and I see a team that is:
- Goaltending: They are getting all world goaltending. Price used to be the #1 goalie in the world, he's been a shadow of himself for serval years. Even this season he has .901 in 25 games. They rely heavily on Price to stand on his head most games and he has. Price hasn't played at this level in 4 or 5 yrs.
- They have a big, punishing, kind of dirty defense that with the way the game is called in the playoffs, especially this playoff, they are allowed to do whatever they want.
- They play hard but they also play extremely defensive.

I do not think how the Habs play works in the regular season because more penalties get called and that extremely rough style they are allowed to play isn't tolerated in the regular season. It was proved as if the Flames didn't totally implode, the Habs don't make it in.

So it begs the question, if the Oilers went for it what would they have had to do to beat the Habs and how they are allowed to play?

Same as always. Better depth players, better defensive defensemen, and better goaltending. Although goaltending was really good this year. These are the problems we've been talking about for a decade now. I'd also consider doing some regular season load management with McDavid and Drai, but don't tell anyone that.

I think the Habs didn't work in the regular season this year because of injuries. They looked really good for the first few weeks and again right at the end of the season.

Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
