Puck You! The Legend Returns
Wednesday, May 10, 2006
One aspect of the Edmonton Oilers game I've always liked that makes them more exciting than their provincial rivals in Calgary is their team speed. They displayed that in the first period against San Jose tonight. They were outhitting, outshooting them and have a 1-0 lead going into the second period. Shots in the first period were 15-2 Edmonton! They're all over them. Although I predicted San Jose to take this series in six, I still want Edmonton to win for Canada's sake. Another cinderella run by a Canadian team would be great, especially by a team that had to sit and watch its provincial rivals make a run to the finals two years ago. Hopefully they can keep this going.
