No need to be sorry. The Oilers beat us fair and square, even though we put up a good fight. I wish the Oilers luck in bringing the cup back to Canada. I would love to see the cup back in Canada after so many years of drought.
Speaking of OT, I will never forget round 1 game 1 of the 2007 Stanley Cup playoffs, where Canucks and Stars needed 4OT to settle things. Henrik Sedin scored on a pass from his brother Daniel to beat the Stars 5-4 late in 4OT. I think the game lasted till past midnight or something, and I was alone in the living room tired and trying to stay awake. Also tried not to make a scream when the puck went in, and stuck to just jumping up and down. I think Luongo made over 70 saves in that game. Crazy game.
Celtics' path to the finals (I'm assuming they will beat the Pacers with ease now) had been quite straight forward without much challenges. I'm thinking whoever they face coming out of the west will also be too tired and beat up trying to get to the finals that the Celtics might bag the championship without too much challenge also. Just a random thought, and might be a bad take. We shall see in June.
That was an incredible game.
I am hopeful whoever wins the West at least gives the Celtics enough difficulty they might implode on themselves.
