RT @grantshapps: A nuclear bomb in the hands of Iran—the world’s leading state sponsor of terror—is a global threat, not a regional dispute…

My sense is the Oilers and their fans were way too high after the Game 1 win. A bit too much Pink Pony Club for all. But I don't get that same sense now. Lots of trepidation and stress now, which is good. The Oil play best when they're thrown from the frying pan to the fire.

I go into every Oilers game thinking: 'Be fantastic if the Oilers just blew them out, now stress, no fuss, no anger, no crazy stuff.' And every game I am deeply disappointed lol
