While my hockey loyalties might lie elsewhere, it’s hard to ignore the excitement surrounding the Edmonton Oilers today. Last night, the Oilers advanced to the Stanley Cup finals, and if you’re anywhere in Western Canada, you know it was a wild party in Edmonton.
And why not? It’s been ages since the city had a reason to celebrate like this—since 2006, to be exact!
To put that in perspective…
2006 was the year the Wii came out.
It was the same year John Legend was named Best NEW Artist at the Grammys…
A Big Mac in Canada cost $3.99…
It also just so happened to be the year I turned 10, and was finally allowed to stay out until 9 PM. You can tell it’s been a long time when I now WILLINGLY go to bed at 9 PM!
