Pitt is going to be just fine without Crosby, still say they're the cup favorite.

 

Wow goal by McDavid. Edmonton looks loud!

Wow, things really going well for the Oilers. McDavid with a terrible decision/pass, bounces right back to his tape for a wide open net. Gotta be good to be lucky.

 

The Oilers are reminiscent of the 09 Blackhawks to me. Good run and a sign of things to come (soon), but I don't think they are quite there yet. I see a conference final exit just like the Hawks.

 

Ironically I think both seasons end with a Pittsburgh win.

Kesler isn't getting under McDavid's skin at all.

He's so far behind the play, McDavid probably doesn't even hear the trash talk.

The Pens are a team of savvy vets, still in their prime. They are an extremely committed hockey team.

 

They always seem to believe they are going to win. Even with no Sid. Very confident.

 

Told you it could still be intriguing!

Gross, Oilers score.

 

Their jersey colour is obnoxious. I dislike how Gretzky is their new mascot.

I can't pin point why but I like Edmonton, Gretzky and their colors. It all works for me.

Same.

 

I have tried to generate the hate, since they got McDavid and we didn't.

 

But it's not happening. I love just about everything about that club right now.

 

Except, perhaps, the team's approach to its female fans.

The Oilers employ Milan Lucic. If you can't generate some hate from that, you cannot be helped.

Hate the player, love the fact they recognized a need and solved it.

Well, there is that.

 

I can generate some hate for them because of him.

 

But, on balance: I can't help liking them. I even like the obnoxious colour choice. Is that a thing now in the NHL? Nashville  seems to be doing likewise with its yellow/gold look. I prefer it to the era of when everyone was wearing black.

First goal clearly goaltender interference...2nd offside and the third should have been an icing. Don't worry about McDavid & his Oilers winning, the NHL obviously has decided they want Anaheim through

Didn't the Golden Seals use them too?

Nope. The Seals were through Cleveland & already merged w/ the No Stars (but not yet split off from the Stars & back on their way to Californ-I-A) before CooperAlls saw the light of day.

 

You're confusing your uniform gimmicks & thinking of their white skates.
