The most perfect, mind-cleaving ending to game 7 would be the Oilers going down 3-0 only to come back & win it in OT. That would kill me, however.

I just don’t get how this stuff was missed for so long. Yearbook photos were just sitting there during the Virginia governor controversy, and imagine the impact this would have had in 2015. Maybe write fewer stories about socks?

We know how this all ends long-term. McDavid will lose for a few more seasons then demand a trade. The blown opportunity will be a glittering crown jewel of Oilers’ ineptitude. The rot lies with ownership. Which can’t be fixed. Cheer for another sport.
