Some interesting facts:

The Oilers last played the Blackhawks in the playoffs in 1992. The Blackhawks swept them.

The Oilers beat the Blackhawks in the Conference Finals 4-2 in 1990, and twice more in the 1980's.

Edmonton is 12-8 all-time vs. Chicago in the playoffs.

Exhibition game is on Tuesday. I believe it's an 8:30 start local time.

Colby Cave scrimmage game goes Saturday night.

I voted 'Coaching' because I believe it will come down to preparedness and conditioning in the first few games. I guess it would fall under that category but it is also an individual thing.

So we get to keep the Oilers dressing room all series or would it alternate after every game?

They would have to make it pretty neutral looking removing everything Oilers.

This is an rendering done for the Qualifiers of what it’s supposed to look like inside of Rogers Place.

EDIT: I find it funny that the shot clock is so disturbingly accurate. Oilers scoring 3 goals on 14 shots is definitely this season’s Oilers.
There's at least two McDavids on the ice and that's Talbot in net.

I thought I read that we don't get the home room every game. I'm guessing that the other teams will just deal with the fact that there are Oilers logos everywhere.
