The Oilers were also built to win and matched the Canucks in every aspect of the game. Unfortunately, One team had loose. Great season, from the Jin, who as captain did an amazing job both with his play and his off ice deals. No more questioning his captaincy. His team was full of people that wanted and gave everything to win. Good Season Boys.
I also wanted to thank all the fans and all the officials for this game (James, Harky, Rinku, Dhira, Matthew, Amar, Mav). It is a thankless job, we truly appreciate your work during the finals.

That being said, with positives there are some negatives. We had some very disturbing incidents take place over the weekend and every action has a consequence.
Sunny Gill will be suspended for three games next season. He will also be placed on probation until the end of season 40 and will also be fined 10 dollars. This is for two hits from behind throwing his stick towards the spectators.
The other incident is still being reviewed and a final decision on the exact discipline will be discussed with Rinku and Harky. A decision will be coming out within the next few days. The league will also review the tape of the incident. Bottom line, you cannot attack an official, and this will be dealt with.
Also, for those that were bringing up the so called "Time Out", I received an email from Mav (who recorded the entire game), he reviewed the play and the ball was clearly IN play when the time out was called. So it was in fact the right call.
Another tidbit, there were 5 penalties given to the Oilers in three games (2 of which were delay of game), 1 penalty was given to the Canucks. Many spectators, players from both teams said that a lot more penalties could have been given out.

Next season prep will be announced soon. We are aiming for the banquet to take place in Feb/March, season to start late March.
