I still can’t fathom what has happened to the Oilers in the past eight days. The draft lottery was the stuff of Oilers’ fight songs in 100 years time but a total house cleaning at the top, too? I still stick to my two theories that I either died sometime on the evening of the 17th of April…
I am literally happier than if I had won the actual lottery.
If you want to read about the last eight games of the Oilers’ season against the Western Conference, who are licking their chops in anticipation of handing our local squadron their asses, this ain’t the article for you.

Back when OilersNation started in 2007 there was a vibrant series of Oilers blogs that were busily churning out content on a near daily basis. A young Wanye wanted to be so badly a part of this scene that he carefully sent each blog a note asking if they wanted to join up and contribute…
