If "Slapshot" is a black mark on the game of hockey - then baseball fans should be ashamed of "Major League" ![shakehead :shakehead :shakehead](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/shakeshead.gif)

What Oilers drug scandel? You mean Fuhr being suspended in 1990? I wouldnt call that a scandel, and I definatly dont see how that would deflate the NHLs popularity.The Oiler drug scandal in the 80's sort of deflated the NHL's popularity. They were the golden boys of hockey
I thought Suters hit on Kariya was in an NHL game, and he was injured so he couldnt participate in the Olympics. Am I remembering that correctly?HM: Suter's hit on Kariya in the Olympics, McSorley/Brashear, 1987 WJC Canada-Russia

Maybe he was mixed up with Suter injuring Gretzky in the Canada Cup.you are correct
Hmmm, I didnt know that. Although I wouldnt call that a scandel. Now if a coked up dead hooker was found in the dressing room, that would be a scandel.In May of '86 Sports Illustrated carried a story that five Oilers were habitual drug users. The players and specific drugs were unnamed at the time: we now know that Grant Fuhr DID do coke, regularly, as early as 1983. Whether anyone else on the team did or not we'll probably never know.

Later that month Borje Salming admitted he had experimented with cocaine years before. He was suspended at the start of the '86-'87 season for it.
The New Jersey Devils. Had to say it![]()
Nah
It must be frustrating to win 3 cups when no one still cares about your team... and then hear about that 1 Cup that we won and never hear about yours. Also I wasn't alive for Isles Cups, was born in '85, sorry.
Anyway, I made a joke and you took it seriously, grow up buddy.
Oh and you're very manly sending me a PM telling me to go back to Mexico when the flag next to my name is clearly Italian and what's better is that Chazzer is Yiddish and comes from the movie Scarface. Try again, chief.
In the grand scheme of things no, it isn't that big a deal. Obviously the fact that it's been largely forgotten is indicative of that.
I was just explaining what it was that Poignant Discussion was getting at.
Major League 2 sure as hell is!If "Slapshot" is a black mark on the game of hockey - then baseball fans should be ashamed of "Major League"![]()
In that vein any of the "smudged fax" trades, Lindros being traded twice by the Nords and Stevens being awarded to the Devils. Not a big deal, but it make the NHL look incompetent and bush.The botched Nylander signing deserves mentioning as well.
Haha, yes!To me it would be these
1)the shootout
