Oilers vs. Ducks... Man oh man

I've never seen a team fall apart so completely as the Ducks have in the last 5 minutes.

It's 1-0 Oilers... Peca has a beautiful breakaway goal, 2-0.

About two minutes later, a real pretty 2 on 1, Oilers drop the puck back for the third guy that came outta nowhere... 3-0.

Ducks are just DEMORALIZED on the ice. Crowd in Edmonton IS JUST GOING NUTS! A dumb duck picks a fight with LaRoque... who takes him down with one punch. Both get two minutes.

Another Duck then shoves an Oiler in the face, RIGHT INFRONT OF TWO REFS. Two minutes for roughing.

THEN no more than 30 seconds later, another Duck gets a tripping penalty. DOWN THREE GOALS, AND DOWN TWO PLAYERS! You guessed it... another Oilers goal, 4-0!

UPDATE: Okay, now, in the time it took to write this, the Ducks have gotten things together, and the Oilers for sloppy... they've scored two in the last five minutes. 4-2... crowd is a little more quiet now, starting to chant "OILERS! OILERS!", trying to keep the team on a roll.

So, I guess most of the reason for posting this, the total blowout of the Ducks, is gone now... wow, that went fast. 10 mins to go.

9:20 left - WOAH... the Oilers goalie BARELY pulled a trickler from going over the line... this is one good game...

8:50 left - DUCKS SCORE AGAIN... man, this went from being a BLOWOUT to a NAIL-BITER IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES!!! What did I say at the top of this post about never having seen a team fall apart so fast? Well, twice in one game... twice in one period no less!

The Oilers are now the ones who have totally fallen apart! They look like they're trying to kill a penalty, while at full strength! They just can't keep the puck out of there end! The Ducks just keep coming and coming... they got the wind back in their sails. How many more metaphors can I come up with?

5:49 left... no nails left...

5:38 - OILERS SCORE!!! 5-3!!! Ducks won a face off in their own zone, and an Oiler went and picked the defenceman's pocket, and shot it in with barely a challenge from the goalie! Went right around him!

4:00 left...

3:30...

3:00...

2:00... Ducks coming... off the mesh behind the Oilers goal...

1:45... WHAT? Did the Ducks just score?!?!? MAN! It looked like it went in, then it looked like it didn't, but it clearly hit the camera inside the net and came right out, so it looked like it hit the crossbar and hadn't gone in... but it was in. 5-4! NO!!!

1:23... THAT ONE WAS WAY TO CLOSE!!! Ducks almost scored again! DUCKS HAVE PULLED THE GOALIE... 6 attackers!

1:01... Faceoff to come in Oilers zone... Edmonton crowd is ralling behind their guys!

0:40 - OILERS GET IT OUT!!!

0:30 - DUCKS ARE BACK IN!

0:20 - CLOSE ONE!!! Duck missed the backander with a clear shot at the almost open net!

0:00!!! GAME!!! OILERS WIN!!!

Man oh man oh man... that has got to be the most intense period of hockey I've ever seen... I don't know if I'm going to be able to get to sleep after that one!!!
