Thank You Hockey Gods for giving us the Battle of Alberta & thanks for blessing us with Connor McDavid.

The Oilers advance to face both the
Colorado Avalanche or St. Louis Blues within the penultimate spherical. The
Avs maintain a 3-2 benefit in that collection.

A showdown between McDavid and
Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon could be must-see TV.
