The Oilers and Jets met six times in the post-season between 1983 and 1990. Edmonton won each series and captured five Stanley Cups during the span. "I think it was bad timing on our part because we were playing against one of the best teams in hockey history. Edmonton was loaded up," said Dave Ellett, a former Jets defenceman who saw action in four iterations of the playoff saga. "But you know what? We were close. … We were in the games and we were hanging with them." The Jets and Oilers will renew their rivalry on Wednesday when they kick off the first round of the North Division playoffs in Edmonton.
