:( . I don't know what to say, that kind of hurt my feelings.. that last comment.

I feel like an ass now.

Don't feel like an ass....you could have had all the statistics 100% right and ThumbingMyWay32 would still have found a way to make you feel shitty about it. Seems to like being the thorn in everyones side in this thread.

aww.. thanks that made me feel better. Oiler fans rule, dont we.

We do rule!!!!!! And so do our Oilers!!!!
Whether they win the cup or not, they overcame a lot to be where they are at right now and NO ONE thought they would be there!! I'm proud of them regardless!!
That said, I still have total faith in those boys to turn this around! Everyone watch out on Saturday!!!!!

What's been really strange in all of this is that even though I am a canes fan, I have spent more time tryin gto convince OIler fans that the series isn't over yet.

There has been a lot of gloom and doom from the fans around here... no they haven't completely given up on the team but they aren't very hopeful either. Shoot I even reminded them about the 2-0 defecit against San Jose and even THAT isn't enough to cheer em up.

Clearly the Oilers have not played the hockey they are capable of yet in this series... something that is bound to be remedied nicely once Rexall gets to rockin'.

At best I am hoping for a Canes split of the 2 games in Edmonton but there is no friggen way the Canes are sweeping... I love my boys and would LOVE to see it... but I am a realist as well... The Oilers have WAY too much pride to let that happen.


Cheers,

I see a split as well.. Hopefully they can win it in Raleigh.

But for the last 4 periods, the Oilers have looked like the team that struggled to get the 8 seed in the West, instead of the team that steamrolled into the finals.

Kinda reminds me of the Canes in '02... :(

Lets Go OILERS Lets Go !!

I'm SO tired of the jerks that keep posting in this thread.....seriously, this thread is for OILER FANS to celebrate the Oilers. How many times does it have to be said? There is a Carolina Hurricanes thread for you to discuss how wonderful Cam Ward is and how many games it's going to take your team to win and so on and so on. And we haven't been in there making negative comments about your team............So please, have some respect.

we WILL win tomorrow.

YES..........WE WILL!!!!!!!! GO OILERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Game day, folks. People said the Oilers would never get this far and look at them now Funnily enough last night on the CBC they were playing the HNIC Classic games and they aired game seven of the finals of the 1987 series of the Flyers vs Oilers. They talked about how the Oilers had battled the flu two weeks before that series. Seemed rather apt.

GO OILERS GO!!!!!!!!!

Viewers to the NHL stanley tea cup game 1 - 600,000 (national televised)

Viewers to the Womens softball championship game - 900,000 (ESPN)

Canadiens having to realize that there national sport is inferior to womens softball and pretty much just plane sucks - PRICELESS!!!!

That must be American viewers because there are far more Canadians watching that alone. So all that says to me is Americans prefer watching Womens softball to hockey, which to me says either your women are in control of the remote controls or you're just not quite bright enough to follow how fast the games move, which is why you prefer baseball (a 4 hour snooze fest at best) or football (which is a good game, but it has to make it easy for you to follow by having 40 second stoppages after every 10 seconds of play). Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, if you call that inferior overpriced garbage weed.

Speaking of weed I think your brain fried if you even compare NFL to that shit called hockey. Dont you ever, ever even put that shit in the same sentence as hockey. Instead of wasting all your looneys and tooneys (just because of that you can never make fun of anything american, your money is named after cartoons) on hockey, why dont you guys start fixing your roads up there. I have been to canada several times, your country is so far undeveloped compared to the U.S., Im surprised you even know how to operate a cpu. I'll put myself and everyone else who knows how shitty hockey is against you and your moose-humpin buddies who like hockey. WE WIN! the 10 of you guys against the millions and millions of intelligents who shake their heads at that ridiculous activity (its not even a sport).

don't be a hockey terrorist... this is not nice.
