GDT: Around the League 2019-20 v18

Seriously though, I'll never forget the '93 Stanley Cup run and subsequent victory. Ten straight OT wins by Patty Roy and the boys. TEN! It was so surreal I thought at times I was dreaming.

I kinda grew right after that and my interests and allegiances changed with it. Maybe even some of it had to do with the political stuff at the time and that province, which I wont get into (and probably not allowed to get into, which is well enough). But yeah, I can get behind Montreal this year for a run. I mean, kinda. Sure, why not? (I guess....)

I was a Habs fan back in the 60's and 70's. Was a treat to watch them back them. Don't care for them much now. Haven't given any thought yet to who I'll be cheering for, need to wait for the matchups.

I wish I would've been able to see Orr play live against the Habs back in the day. Or even to see the early 80s match-ups of the Habs, Islanders, Flyers and Oilers. Must've been some amazing hockey to watch.

As I grew up, I just realized I identified more with the Oilers, who also left a huge impression on me as a very young boy with the '90 Cup. Ranford was my hero for a good couple years, and would imitate his goaltending style playing street hockey with my friends. Good times. I gravitated more to the Oilers and I guess their under-dog status as I matured over the Habs. I had to pick one, and it was definitely the Oilers for me. Don't regret it, as even the 2006 run was so incredible, even if it ended with a really sour taste. I wouldn't trade those memories.

That's a bad goal for Markstrom to let up...

That's a bad goal for Markstrom to let up...

3/4 goals scored have been terrible goals for him to give up, not his night

 

[CycloneSweep]

Man it's such a bummer that Bouchard fell to us and not Hughes. Hughes is exactly what we need and is only getting better.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Eriksson should have kept skating instead of looking at the ref for a penalty.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Fiala get a penalty for that? lol
these Refs are junk

 

[RandomGuy79]

That's tripping? Man, imagine whiffing on a shot and falling over and get called for tripping...

 

[Mav3rick07]

Of course ...

 

[KarmaPolice]

Stalock may be the only goalie worse than our options. Canucks are lucky to face Minny, who are doomed to get BTFO'd eventually because of their terrible goalie tandem.

 

[Da McBomb]

Canucks will win tonight. It's just that kind of f***ing night for Oiler fans

Absolutely .

I can’t remember the last time I watched a hockey game and the team I was cheering for won. It’s been like 5 days straight of awful games .

Although I can't remember a lot of the details from the time, I do remember the many Islander/Oiler series being a lot of fun as kids. So many kids in Oilers sweaters for class picture day, plus the one goofy kid ( usually a redhead) with his Flames jersey.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Off to OT

 

[Cloned]

Cheer for Vancouver.

You do NOT want them to have the chance to add Lafreniere.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

shit sandwich complete

 

[CycloneSweep]

If Toronto loses Sunday than the team that won game 1 has won every series lol

 

[KarmaPolice]

Tough night to swallow. Well, maybe at least we get Lafrieniere while CGY and VAN get rekt in the first round.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Minnesota won Game 1.

 

[Del Preston]

No Lafreniere in the Pacific unless the Oilers get him. Nice.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

It's going to be annoying to be looking up at the Canucks in the standings next year.

 

[Oilhawks]

It's going to be annoying to be looking up at the Canucks in the standings next year.

Who says? Because they won some gimmick play in?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

whoever gets the Stars will waltz into Round 2...they are trash
