from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,
If the Edmonton Oilers accomplished one thing this season… Well, let Patrick Maroon summarize:
“Everyone knows the Edmonton Oilers are no joke anymore,” said the straight-forward winger.
Truly, Oilers fans — and everyone inside the organization — would have settled for just that. Not being the butt of the joke anymore, or walking press boxes and sports bars from coast to coast and being met with that lingering, 10-year question that we all could never quite put our finger on:
“What the heck is going on in Edmonton?!?”
We can officially file the Decade of Darkness into the history books — its chapter entitled: “The Old Boys Club — A Cautionary Tale” — and we’ll open a new book in Edmonton, one where simply having a good November is no longer the barometer.
