Back and forth action and the Oilers played a great game&#8230;.. right up until the end.  Edmonton&#8217;s newest, and most valuable, player Dwayne Roloson had his right knee slammed into the post as Carolina&#8217;s Andrew Ladd crashed into him after Edmonton&#8217;s defenceman Marc-Andre Bergeron checked him.<\/p>\n<p>Ty Conklin was then placed in net to replace Roloson, he promptly got the second assist on a goal on his own net.  Roloson&#8217;s season is over and this is the biggest concern the Oilers have, being down 1:0 is almost trivial.<\/p>\n<p>By &#8220;excited disappointment&#8221; I mean that this loss means that the Oilers can&#8217;t win the cup before game five, and with Roloson gone, probably game six.  Game six is in Edmonton on July 17th and so am I!  I&#8217;ll be presenting at the WebCT Users&#8217; Canadian Conference that week.  I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll make it to the game, but I will be celebrating on Whyte avenue after that game or game seven on June 19th.<\/p>\n<p>Go Oilers Go!
