After a first Stanley Cup win for Las Vegas last year, it could be the turn of another icy outpost Miami to emulate them this year as first time winners.

Sad days indeed.
Oilers were 31st in the league 200 days ago, fired the coach and now in the finals. Cough shefflin cough.
Hard to see the Oilers do it, the pressure on being the first Canadian winner since 93 combined with the fishbowl they live might be overwhelming. Florida have a nice mix of scorers and filth, not enough badmindedness for Vegas last year, more than enough for Oilers as almost anything goes at this stage when the refs are in full whistle swallow mode.

Spittin Chicklets interviewed her during the week. They are store bought by the way, not that anyone would care.
Oil chase Bob and destroy the panthers. Same kind of kick Dallas showed last night. Cynics are suggesting both Boston and Florida were saving the big performance to win at home anyway.

We’ll find out soon enough.
Oilers won on the road 3-5 in Miami last night to cut what was a 0-3 deficit back to 2-3. Back to Edmonton for Game 6.

Florida looks to have cracked with the expectation. Playing soft and slow, the opposite of all year. Maybe the pressure switches back to Edmonton now but it’s developed into a great series. McDavid silencing any critics.
Oilers force the greatest occasion in sports. Game 7 for the Stanley Cup.
@habanerocat your friend has got over her fear of being found out and has now signed up for playboy. Two way entry level contract. Full no move clause.
I’d say a Canadian team hasn’t won it in years will all Canadians get behind the oilers now or is the inter club rivalry too big? I lived in Boston as a small kid I loved the Bruins. Ray Bourque and cam Neely. My aul lad got well into it used to get tapes sent home by his brother for years after of the matches. His brother actually got him an American VHS player as the tapes were different.
Not since the Montreal Canadiens won it in 93. Before the finals almost everyone here wanted Edmonton to lose it seemed. But clawing back from 3-0 down backboned by performances from the best player in the world McDavid, Bouchard, Hyman, maligned goalie Stuart Skinner, not to mention Darnell nurse suddenly playing up to his wage and journeymen like Warren Foegele and Ryan MacLeod really now performing. Thing is all these named players are Canadian, so the worm has turned a bit and there’s more general support in the street and on the internet. There was a lot of online digs from Americans when it was 3-0 about Canada’s losing streak continuing, I think most Canadians want it to end.
Mind you Vegas won it last year when their roster had most Canadians in the league, same with St Louis when they won it a few years back. Tampa and Colorado were led by Canadians. And the team in the league with most Canadians on the roster this year? The Oilers. So did lord Stanley’s cup ever really leave?

Alanis Morissette belting out the anthems. What an occasion
Great away support
And Flo-rida does enough. The cup stays on the wrong side of the 49th parallel for another year.

Shocking news that Johnny Gaudreau and his brother were killed while out cycling by a drunk driver (with an Irish name quelle surprise) they were at home for their sisters wedding. Class player and a good guy, called himself Johnny Hockey as a play on Manziel but he was actually a very good player and decent person unlike Johnny Football.
