We
FINALLY Made it!
March 29, 2017
It has been an 11 year drought, year after year of
promises of a new day and we have finally made it. The Edmonton Oilers have
finally made the playoffs, as I live and breathe I can’t believe it.
What a roller coaster of emotions this city has had to
endure for the past 11 years and finally our saviour Conner McDavid has come to
make us rise up and become among the ranks to have playoff games. How funny
that sounds typing that out as we are that
excited about making the playoffs, we haven’t dared to dream past that.
This city is on fire and everywhere you look there are
car flags, flags in store front windows, jersey’s on every second person and no
one can keep any of the Oilers fan gear in stock. I lucked out and was able to
grab us some car flags so we could also join in the fun. The Mister has even
gone so far as welding a flag holder to the back of his truck. Seriously, the
whole city has playoff fever and I have to say I’m loving every minute of it.
I have my littles dressed up in Oilers gear as much as
I can as it’s a right of passage, I even went so far and bought them some
infant Oilers jerseys. I will keep them for them and they can pass them down to
their little ones when they grow up.
How far will we go in the playoffs, no one knows but to
be able to cheer on our home team will be an amazing feeling. Let’s hope this
is a tradition that continues.
