It also gives some of us based overseas to find that old friend called sleep... 4/5 hours sleep every other day has taken it's toll. This next week will be so refreshing.

I know I hate the idea of a week off, I'd rather we just got on with it, it does give all the players some time to rest up and get as close to 100% as they can be for the finals. Even more of a gripe is that they've given an extra day off for the travel days. That extends the finals further.

Looking forward to this series, that 06 run, though some time ago is still raw not only for what happened in the final, but the consequences of what happened the years after it. A win would go some way to rub that out of my mind.

Take me home, country road
to the place where I belong
to Alberta, to see the Oilers
