Well halfway through 88-89 and The Oilers and Calgary are neck and neck in the smythe race. Pittsburgh is killing everyone though so far.
88-89 season final results.
Mario misses Gretzky's goal record by 1 goal, and 200 pts by 4 pts. Playoffs should be fun

Halfway through 89-90 and its Oilers and Pens and Gretzky and Mario in a fight for league supremacy.
89-90 season is over. Mario bests Gretzky by 8 pts for the scoring title, but the Oilers won the Presidents Trophy. All roads looking like Oilers Pens part 2 in the finals.

Either you play the scenario without drafts and all players automatically go where they went in reality or you become god and solve the situation. Give whatever team that drafts him two first round picks for him or something, or a first rounder and Coffey since he left after 91 anyway. I don't know if the Penguins need some of those draft picks for other players though, but Straka is to some extent not needed in terms of 91 and 92 anyway.
Maybe trick the GM that Rob Brown is the real deal? His real life trade had Cullen disappear before the cups.

I'm playing on commissioner mode. Just watching how it plays out. How moves can change history. A.la Messier staying in NY. We might be seeing a bird vs magic scenario here
Its not Mario's game yet. The Oilers have regained the cup in a 7 game thriller vs the Pens. This one lacked the luster of the previous year as Pittsburgh was without Lemieux for the finals and the Oilers were without Mark Messier. To noones surprise Wayne Gretzky took home his record 3rd Conn Smythe.

Looks like we have a new threat in Chicago
Jeremy Roenick showing that Americans can be elite. Like his Hawks he's challenging Wayne and Mario.

For the 3rd consecutive year its Edmonton vs Pittsburgh for the cup and for the 3rd straight year it goes 7. The Pens win it back this year. As the trend of the team with ho
me ice winning continues.

Id gladly do that. I have 2 rules with what ifs.Can you guys suggest me let's say top 5 "what if" scenarios to play in FHM 5 ?I would be thankful
1. Only play on commissioner mode no interference in the games.
2. Play it all the way out to the present day.
This one is playing out interesting I must say. Many people have said that if Gretz stayed the Oilers would have won 4 more cups however they only have one. The Pens are dominating with only Mario and Paul Coffey leading the way. The future is gonna be interesting I must say. You have a lot of young guys in Vancouver (Forsberg, Jagr), Boston has Lindros, and with Detroit making the finals in 92 they may be a force as well. This Pens Oilers rivalry reminds me of Dallas - San Fran in the NFL in the early to mid 90s. Like the 9ers though I think Edmonton might have 1 last cup in them. Where guys like Crosby and Ovie wind up will also be interesting
Well now we are into 1992-93 seems like the Pens aren't going away, and it seems like age and low drafting position is finally catching up with the Oilers. Gretzky is still dominating however as is Messier but they are only getting older and one wonders will they consider a rebuild if they keep trending downward.
