hmm, 3rd should be interesting. Wonder how many goals will be scored?

My vote goes to eleventybeelion... 😛

Dude, you were so wrong, but according to my calculator you were going to be wrong no matter how many goals were scored! 😀

Not really....... it's been reported that the Oilers are suffering from a serious case of the stomach flu......... Raffe Torres lost like 14 pounds............. Shades of Canucks vs St Louis.

Oh well, a 7-game winning streak in the playoffs will usually get you quite a bit closer to Lord Stanley's mug 🙂

Unfortunately the fatigue and team illness caught up with the Oilers, and on top of it the Ducks played their best game of the playoffs so full credit to them. They didn't crumple when the Oilers managed to pot a few in the second. The scary part is that Randy Carlyle is a respectable coach and you know he will have them well prepared for game 5.

I think with 3 more chances to advance to the final, my boys should pull it off. Time to start playing as good as Roli has been, and try not to rely on him so much. Hopefully they play a bit more in Anaheim's end tomorrow night. They have been pretty much outplayed in the fundamental aspects of the game in the series, in my opinion. "Finding ways to win" is probably the most overused cliche of this playoff season and it's easy to see why.

GO OILERS
 
there was an article about there being a lack of beer in edmonton. Hockey Fever - No beer. It's on cnn.com it's a video, bars, liquor stores, etc.. all running low on booze (real booze that is 😉 ) pretty interesting/funny/expected.

Yeah....not so much. 😉
Oh well. Plenty of games to go.

People were worried about the lack of defensemen, turns out that was the least of their worries this game. Their defensive pairings played as good as, if not better, than the normal top 4 man pairs. Thoes D-kids they called up are playing great, though the transition game is a little weaker than before and that is a problem. The younger kids coming up from rochester have less experience and are less smooth on the transition, though when they do execute properly they break out with incredible speed.

Buffalo couldn't get the team offense working tonight. There was a lot of one man plays on a goalie that is coming out of the gate hot as a hornet. They just couldn't put that puck past Gerber, and some of that is attributed to their complete lack of team offensive play. There was basically no setups the entire game, just a guy streaking in or shooting at the point hoping for a rebound from a friggin puck magnet. Gerber really was the #1 star of the game tonight.

Gotta regroup and go back on the road and win.

The western finals should be good. Anaheim is backed into a corner and playing desperate. Hope this one goes to seven too.
