My gears been collecting dust and cobwebs in my basement for 5 months now. Needless to say my body is ready for tonight. Go Avs.

Been watching a lot of the old Edmonton Oilers games and highlights from when they were loaded back in the 80s / 90s.

Amazing hockey to watch.

Gretzky, Messier, Anderson, Kurri, Coffey, Lowe (and Fuhr in goal). Etc.

And the Red Wings with the Russian 5 were fun to watch, too.

Unfortunate about the defenseman, Konstantinov - he was becoming a good one.

I think one of those years Edmonton had 4, yes 4 guys who scored 50 goals. And Coffey scored 48 as a defenseman. Crazy stuff we won't see again. Plus they had a dude nicknamed "Cement Head" (Dave Semenko) to bust up anyone who looked at Gretzky the wrong way.

Correction 3 guys with 50, still impressive.

GO ISLANDERS!!!!

Go wings!



Oh wait, they suck.

 

[MichiCANE]

There is nothing, and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN SPORTS better than playoff hockey

Yep, they scored in bunches.

Lots of other solid players during the time, too - Esa Tikkanen, Krushelnyski, Craig Simpson, Ruotsalainen, etc.

If they could've kept the core together, they probably had a couple more cups in them.

Right of the gate, too as an expansion team in '79.

Amazing drafts in the first few years to load up the team quickly.

A bunch of them ended up in New York and broke the curse as well.

Potvin Sucks!

Ulf Nilsson should know how to brace for a check...

Then again, the '79 Rags were more into figure skating in their jeans:



"Ooo lala so soon" (after the Isles eliminated the Rags from '81-'84)

Fvck the Isles, Go Panthers!

Win a cup...Or four in a row, then talk s#!+

It sure was fun watching Billy Smith flop around like a fish out of water when Edmonton ended that.
