Haha.

I'm sure the usuals are plotting destruction win or lose. Every city has some of them and it seems anything is a reason for some to create mischief.

I have to say the 2023-2024 season has been quite interesting on a lot of fronts. A decent season and I'm still interested even though teams are now 105 and 106 games into the season.

So what’s the best parade route? Jasper, then up 101’ then ending at Roger’s place?

From Northlands west along 118ave, south on 97st, and skedaddle over to 101st, and then hit the Moss Park.

Gotta say, I've been very impressed with the Oilers fans in Edmonton thus far. It felt far more collegiate and fun than in 2006 which was often as dark as fun.

I'd say the Oilers are like 90% of the identity of the city of Edmonton. The only other fans that are on that level are Rider fans, have to show the flag everywhere they go.

You can even tuck a mullet into the back of the jersey.

Sad seeing the Oilers lose like that. I was genuinely rooting for them. Hopefully they get another shot at it next year.

Highlights:

-Tkachuk’s shoutout to Calgary fans for not letting the Oilers win
-McDavid winning Conn Smythe trophy

Lowlights:

-Edmonton losing
-Panther fans booing McDavid for winning Conn Smythe trophy
-Gary fucking Bettman

Well, it's another year where our trophy goes somewhere it isn't properly appreciated, but that was a fun week. I, for one, underestimated Edmonton right up until Game 4 but have great respect for the squad and fans now. Have a great summer up there.

With so much bad news these days, that must have been the best news Black Star. Happy for your family.
