CALGARY -- The Edmonton Oilers would not be denied.
Not by another bad start. Not by a cascade of tough (stick) breaks or disallowed goals.
In Game 2 of the Oilers' second-round Stanley Cup playoff series against Calgary on Friday, Edmonton got the 5-3 win it needed to even the Battle of Alberta before shifting to their home ice. And they did it by playing the way coach Jay Woodcroft has been preaching for weeks.
"We had some things not go our way today. But I think it speaks to the resiliency and resolve of our group [that we came through]," said Woodcroft.
