oilers88cup Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Well my Oilers are up on the mighty RedWings and "Hockeytown" is crying about the oil playing the trap.Sour grapes as far as I'M concerned.President's trophy winners should be a good team so learn to break it.I just hope they can win game 6,game 7 in Detroit would be very tough. Let's go Oilers! And c'mon Buffalo, beat those damn Flyers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Detroit's regular season record overstates how good they were. I am not surprised by Edmonton winning--the Red Wings compiled alot of wins by having to play Columbus, St. Louis and Chicago for a good portion of thier schedule. Edmonton is too much for them too handle. I don't think Edmonton will beyond the next round though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruins4777 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 (edited) The wings need someone besides zetterberg to step up offensively. legace isn't playing badly, but he's not keeping them in it, he's really been outdueled.

Satans Hockey Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 (edited) I wish I could somehow go to game 6, im sure the atmosphere in that arena is going to be unbelievable. Edited April 30, 2006 by Satans Child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I sure hope they can get it done at home, those Oiler fans are rabid, among the best in hockey and they deserve another Cup run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hey John. It's nice to see your Oilers playing great. Now they must finish the job in Game Six in front of some of the most rabid fans in the world. Edmonton isn't a normal eight seed. When you got a guy like Pronger anchoring that blueline and some of the most underrated young talent in the league (Hemsky, Horcoff, Torres, Stoll, Bergeron), you are very formidable. Toss in the grit of Ryan Smyth and Michael Peca and this team is tough. I really like what the Oilers did. But the difference so far has been Roloson. We both agreed giving up a 1st round pick was steep. So far, so good. Go Oilers!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annabelle Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 OIlers in 6? God I hope not...but just because i wanted them swept in 4 means that they probably will pull off the upset and win it in 6....ughh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nieuwy25 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hey, oilers88cup - this may sound crazy coming from a Stars fan, but I'm pulling for your Oilers all the way! I've had a lot of respect for your team all those years we played each other in the playoffs, and I'm a big Ryan Smyth fan, too. So go Oilers!

pattyelias Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Is it possible that tonight's game will be broadcast on Yahoo like last night's Canes-Habs game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I attended a "west coast" fan club trip in 1989. We went to Winnipeg, Vancouver, Edmonton & Calgary. By far, the Oiler fans were the nicest people around. Go Oilers. Anything to eliminate Hockey-town is OK with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
