The Heritage Classic - Whats the final going to be?

[bernse]

I'm guessing if some of the "Old Timers" are in shape and Messier makes it, I'm hoping it'll be about 8-2 for Edmonton.

It has been one of the most highly debated topics of conversation this summer. Since the announcement in early June of the Molson Canadian Heritage Classic, the first ever NHL regular season outdoor game, hockey fans everywhere have wondered which MegaStars will dress for the Edmonton Oilers, and who will represent the Montreal Canadiens?

The anticipation has finally come to an end. With the historic Molson Canadian Heritage Classic just over two months away, the Edmonton Oilers have announced the rosters for both the Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens MegaStars:

* Player rosters are subject to change.

?This has to be one of the most impressive rosters of players to ever skate on a sheet of ice,? said Patrick LaForge, President & CEO of the Edmonton Oilers. ?We've got Oiler greats whose efforts helped win five Stanley Cup's for the City of Champions, and many of the Canadiens legends that have won 24 Stanley Cup's for Montreal. For hockey fans around the world, this is a dream match-up.?

Oilers General Manager Kevin Lowe says he is excited about the prospect of getting back on the ice with his teammates of the glory years. In his words, ?I love the idea that we're going to be playing outdoors, and I don't know what I'm more excited about ? the game, or just getting back together with the guys.?

Pierre Boivin, President of the Montreal Canadiens, says, ?The entire Montreal Canadiens organization is excited about the Heritage Classic and the MegaStars game. Although the Canadiens alumni will face a formidable Oilers line-up, we remain very confident that the quality of our roster will be a delight for hockey fans in Edmonton and across the world watching on November 22nd.?

?We have assembled a Canadiens team for all generations,? said Rejean Houle, President of the Montreal Canadiens Alumni. ?We have players that helped bring six Stanley Cup's to Montreal in the 70's, as well as Canadiens from the 80's and 90's who also wear championship rings. We're all looking forward to meeting the Oilers outdoors this November.?

The Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens MegaStars will play two 15-minute periods of stop-time hockey prior to the Oilers/Canadiens regular season match-up on November 22, 2003, at Commonwealth Stadium.

That explains why I'm clueless. (In this matter anyway.)

The Habs' old timers will get massacred, they're way too old compared to the Oilers' old timers. The Oilers will probably beat the Habs in the game as well since the Candians really suck this year.
