Well, I didn't see that coming.

A shutout.

Dang.

Well, I didn't get my game seven, but I did get quite a game, and when a team plays that hard, you have to give full marks to the Edmonton Oilers.

While the critics will still grumble about Joe Thornton in the playoffs, the fact is, you can't pin this on Joe. If anything, I'm curious to see the extent of Cheechoo's injurys. You have to credit the team defense of Edmonton for playing their hearts out, not relying on any one guy and backchecking like their very lives depended on it.

Add that to the fact that Dwayne Roloson has the best save of the tournament, and Michael Peca now has the best goal of the tournament, well- the Edmonton Oilers now have everything but the best hit of the tournament, which belongs to...Buffalo.

Hmm.
