You're in Oil Country: Edmonton Oilers Playoffs 2006 DVD

[@datriaxsondor590]

Looking back at this team, it was quite remarkable really. Smyth, Torres, Stoll, Peca, Samsonov, Pronger, Roloson, Smith, Hemsky..... I mean.... that's a pretty solid core of guys right there. To take nothing away from the rest of the team. They ALL played their hearts out, and that's what made this run so special. They didn't win on fancy play. They won on heart and dedication. Still a firm believer, that Carolina would not have defeated Roloson, but that may just be me. Markkanen was absolutely stellar in goal for them, given the way he was thrown in the deep end, and I think he put up a solid performance for the team. Conklin.... well, mistakes happen. I can only imagine what was going through his mind and stomach, when he got the call to take over in game 1. Will never forget this run to the cup, and hopefully, the new kids in town, can manufacture another one in the near future.

[@nowhereman4319]

Why not? I don't get why Oilers fans forget, Roloson blew game 1. Roloson couldn't had played any better than Ward

[@goalieg3391]

As a Canes fan I can tell you, if Roloson never got injured, it would have been Edmonton. Markkanen was thrown into a difficult position being called to play the biggest series ever. He got my respect after that series and I was looking forward to his career, but I will never forget the name Markkanen. You guys played your hearts out.

Still think Edmonton wins the Cup if Roloson doesn’t get injured, Edmonton handed them the first 2 games after that happened.

[@NYFanatic]

Jussi Markanen shut the Canes in game 6 on home ice. He wasn't too shabby either.

[@Liluziburt69]

I will fight anyone who says Edmonton loses with roloson

[@mikeawesome9212]

100% disagree. Edmonton loses regardless. No one could have done better than what Markannen did.

[@mikeawesome9212]

@@Liluziburt69 Edmonton loses with Roloson. Edmonton eliminated by Flames in 2022.

[@djUpRoar]

@@mikeawesome9212 lost game 1 cause Edmonton had that idiot as the backup instead of Markannen 😒 and game 2 was all Oilers until that first goal went in off Bergerons skate then Edmonton deflated for the whole game. That's why I say we win with Rolly in net. Markannen did amazing! But unfortunately he went in down 1-0 I the series and the team felt the loss of Rolly in game 2 but they played like the Oilers in front of Markannen in game 3 and on

Man if Rollie didn’t get hurt I’m 100% sure the cup would’ve been bought back to Canada, but today Oilers are heading back to the western conference finals lead by McDavid n Draisaitl. Oilers just gotta get by the favourites to series Avalanche. GoOilersGo!!!!!

[@virnan]

Smyth was a warrior powered by grit and determination. This team had all the elements of heart and talent.

[@ryans413]

It really did suck as a fan lost game 7 in the finals but it was a hell of a run that’s something to be proud of no one gave up.

[@m.scottyoung9650]

Damn this team was awesome 👌

[@jerichobeach2967]

I wonder if Carolina fans were a little worried before the series started, knowing the oil took out the wings and did some amazing things.

I think it was Edmonton too, particularly Paul Lorieau RIP, who started the fans singsing the anthem.

[@JasonSmith-pe5py]

Great to watch,& ya would get back...15 yrs later to WCF,then got swept by my Avs.But in all seriousness,I picked ya this year to win the WCF rematch vs us...then lose to Carolina AGAIN...no joke. We will see-obviously I hope my Avs get back. But the Oilers definitely grew up last season,& lost to 1 of the best teams in the cap era. My Avs are still real good,but not as good as last yr-at least today-& I think Edmonton learned a lot from that series. Kinda like Colorado losing game 7 to SJ,& Dallas...but especially getting taught a lesson by Vegas. I expect Edmonton will get over that hurdle,but still have 1 more lesson to learn. I fully expect Connor & Leon will raise their 1st Cup in the next few yrs. But my Avs,& others-wont make it easy. This was an amazing team though,& fun to relive.

[@takanoritoriyama]

you watch the end and you see how badly that aged. after this season was the decade of darkness

[@ryans413]

Well half the team moved on and then management traded the whole team away. Horcoff the only guy that remained then Smyth came back and Horcoff was traded and Smyth finally retired.

[@travismisener925]

If Dwayne Roloson didn’t get hurt in game 1 of the finals the Oilers would have won the cup in 6 games.

[@nowhereman4319]

Right like Cam Ward wasn't playing lights out. Didn't see him blow a 3 goal lead 🤔🤔🤔

I’m a diehard Sabres fan, that cup should’ve belonged to the Sabres or the Oilers! The Hurricanes took 7 games to beat us with 4 of our top 6 defensemen out, and they took 7 games to beat the Oilers without Roloson. Least deserving Cup Champs in history!

How do you completely leave out game seven of the Stanley Cup Final? The score was close even though they lost, but they accomplished a lot and there’s much to be proud of and learn from. The Oilers were the underdogs and Cinderella story of the playoffs, to not show the final and the emotion of it is like pretending it didn’t happen. Odd.

​@@nowhereman4319 Roloson choked? Didn't Marc-Andre Bergeron ride a player into roloson?

[@nowhereman4319]

@@Hellosecsiif he didn't get hurt (by his player of course) only game the backups played horrible was game 2.. Game 3 gave up 1 goal, game 4 2 goals, game 5 3 goals (and Oilers won), game 6 0 goals, and game 7 2 goals (3rd goal pulled the goalie). Really, Cam Ward was the difference maker and that's why the Canes won. Oh ya, up 3-0 and giving up 4 unanswered goals is choking.

[@onewhitedude]

I really revisit the 2006 and 2017 playoff runs when the Oilers get into the playoffs again, and those were fantastic, I was born 1 year after, but my parents watched it and our friend Bradley took his son to one of the finals games, and I can tell that it was a great time. Now I was born after 2017, but I barely remember anything about it. I do remember being pissed when the Ducks won the series, and saltily chirping Ducks fans in the comments. That year was bad, all 4 of our favorite teams lost, the Ducks kicked the Flames and Oilers both (Yes I am a Flames fan, I am a fan of both Alberta teams, it sounds impossible but it isn't), and the Penguins kicked both the Capitals and Senators' ass, and they went on to win back-to-back Stanley Cups. And we all hated that because my dad HATES the Penguins! 2020 and 2021 were horrible. 2020 was pretty trash, they didn't even technically make it! And 2021 was worse because I was cheering all around Edmonton (in front of 137 Ave, Coliseum, and Rogers Place) and hoping that they would make it far. They didn't! They got their ass swept by the Jets and the Jets were my new least favourite team that year, I threw the jersey in the bathtub. So here's 2022, I am gonna do the same thing as 2021 cheering and getting drivers to honk, and cheering all around downtown and other places. I wanted to go to Whyte Avenue but it's hard to park there, and lots of sketchy people there. So maybe that's why they moved the celebrating area to downtown this year... And I want this year to be memorable and remembered like 2006 and 2017, and not absolute trash fire like 2020 and 2021. I highly doubt we will see a Conference Finals and/or Stanley Cup Finals appearance, but I am hoping that we meet the Flames in the second round. I am hoping for a great playoff run this year!
