The 1985-86 Oilers didn't make a separate chapter in my book because a Canadian team (the Montreal Canadiens) ultimately won it all that season. Also, since I've already included the 1985-86 Calgary Flames in the book, having both Alberta teams in there seems a bit much.
I did mention briefly about how Edmonton was eliminated in the chapter dedicated to the Flames, noting the fantastic seasons by the Oilers' players including Wayne Gretzky, Paul Coffey, Jari Kurri, and Glenn Anderson.
Here's a look at the crucial moments of the Oilers' elimination loss to the Flames in the 1986 Smythe Division Finals, courtesy a YouTube video uploaded by temphockey:
