Orange Crush vs. Orange County:Oilers prepare for Ducks in NHL playoffs
EDMONTON — In the forthcoming battle of Orange Crush versus Orange County, the Edmonton Oilers say they can no longer be characterized as green.
“We’ve got playoff experience now. We just went through a round,” Oiler centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins said Monday after practice at Rogers Place.
“It gives us confidence now that we’re a legit team and we can play against anybody.”
The Oilers open the second round of the NHL playoffs Wednesday in California’s Orange County against the Anaheim Ducks.
