Game seven, here we come!!! We'll show the 'canes what we're made of!!!

We are no longer Deadmonton! I have never been prouder to be an Edmontonian!!! Pisani is our hometown hero, and Pronger is just plain cool!
We have made it back to the event that put us on the map. Just watch Wayne! We'll show you and your homeboys (of which we no longer belong) that we are capable of once again being the city of champions!
What other NHL city has banded together in such a way like we have? What other city has car flags every where you look, and graffiti so that the "City of Edmonton" park signs now read "City of Edmonton Oilers"?
No one, and finally Edmonton is no longer "the city North of Calgary", as we have regained our title as hockey giants!
And just to let you know, Pronger's neck is not unusually wide
(an ongoing joke in my family...).

What a great game that was and a fantastic Cinderella story.
BTW there are lots of cars in Calgary flying Oilers flames, just so you know. Go Oilers!

That's awesome! I love how all of Canada has gotten behind the team! The other day in 'The Journal' they had a piece on how there are people all over the world cheering for Edmonton. Like this one school in Mexico had an Oilers day. Strange, but very cool!

Go Oilers! I have loved watching this series, it always amazes me how sport can unite a nation. I can't wait until game seven :)

my cards just said 6/8 chance oilers will win. But 5/8 chance Carolina wins... Close one. may go to sudden death overtime.
