Was It Only Just a Dream?

.

As I woke up this morning, one question needed to be answered: Was it only just a dream?

Nope!

The Oilers are finally returning to the playoffs!

How’s that feel, Oiler fans?

Was It Only Just a Dream?

It’s been eleven years. What has happened in the world since the Oilers last appeared in the playoffs?

Quite a bit.

– I lost a lot of hair, and my third and fourth children were born.

– Twitter was launched. And much arguing ensued.

– Seven seasons of The Walking Dead aired.

– Barack Obama’s presidency came and went.

– Apple debuted the iPhone.

– Justin Bieber started a YouTube channel.

– The Chicago Cubs won a World Series.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final Harry Potter book, was released.

– “Gangnam Style” went viral.

– “Selfie” became Oxford dictionary’s “Word of the Year.”

– One of the stars of Home Alone 2 was elected U.S. President.

– The world was overtaken by memes and GIFs.

– The Oilers won the Connor McDavid lottery!

#LastTimeOilersMadePlayoffs was trending on Twitter last night. Here’s one of my favourites:

The nightmare was real, but now it’s over. We have awoken to a new day, the day of McDavid. The sun is shining, and I feel fine.

Get ready, Oiler fans.

Next stop: playoffs!
