| Oil Eliminate Whoopers In Survivor Series |
| Monday March 20, 2006 - Twenty-two points seperated the Oil and Whoopers, but it didn't tell the story in last night's Survivor Series playoff round. The number fifth ranked Oil looked like a hungry team last night knocking off the fourth ranked Whoopers 5 - 3. The Whoopers looked flat as the young Oil team beat them to every loose puck and disected the only lead the Whoop had early in the first. You couldn't tell this Oil team finished 21 games under .500. The Oil now move on to the semi-finals were they face the #1 ranked Flyers, who beat the Oil in all seven games they met in this season. But it was the Oil who knocked out the defending champion Flyers in the playoffs a year ago. Game 1 goes tonight at 8:00 as well as the other semi-final series when the Whalers face the Stones at 9:15. |
