The Edmonton Oilers are currently 14 consecutive wins this season—a Canadian record! I believe the overall NHL record is 17. Can they do it? Fingers crossed!
Moved to the game room.
Awesome. Didn’t know we had one.
Now 15 games. Five points out of second place in the west, with four games in hand on the top two teams.
12 games into the season, some fans were selling their seasons tickets because they thought the Oilers were done and couldn’t make the playoffs…
It’s quite the comeback, isn’t it? Two more wins to tie the greatest number of wins at 17; three more wins to beat it and set a new record. Maybe changing the coach was a good move after all.
Now I just want the Pistons to do this.
We Edmonton fans have been waiting a long time for them to do this. Last time we took home the cup was 1991.
Edmonton just won game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals against the Florida Panthers. Woohoo! Two more wins to go to get the Cup!
And Game 6 is on Edmonton on Friday. That should (fingers crossed) give them a boost, to be on home ice, among their fans.
And their fans are serious. I well remember living in Edmonton in 2006, and it was all-Oilers-all-the-time in the city during the playoffs. Nice to see such a fanbase.
As a Leafs fan (yeah, I know), it pains me to say it, but … Go Oilers!
31-year old title wait for Canada potentially coming to an end.
I’d feel the same if the situation was reversed! Calgary fans wouldn’t though.
Well that was a heck of a playoff season. Panthers win the first three games, Oilers win the next three (including one game 8-1), and it came down to a 2-1 victory for Florida last night. Great season, McDavid and the boys! Congrats also on winning the Conn Smythe trophy.
Well, if nothing else, that was a damn good final game. Sad to see Edmonton lose, but at least the game was enjoyable.
A house up the street has a flagpole in the front yard. Since the final series began, it’s been flying an Oilers flag. Today, the flag has been lowered to half-mast.
