Post-Game Talk: Mile High Victory

[Oilers in NS]

Tie breaker order is regulation Wins, Regulation + OT wins, then just Wins

for regulation wins Oilers have 44, Vegas have 37 and the Avs have 34

Yes, I looked at it wrong
Thank u

Good man, where about?

Got a dumb question
Avs get 2 more wins, they have 51
We get 1 more, we get 50
Both tied at 109
How do we win West?
Assuming Vegas loses in regulation

Northern part ( Amherst )

Yeah I remember the kid line days well except I had Murphy and Graves but couldn't remember Buchberger until I saw the pic hahah

I think the Avs would have to lose 1 of the 2 as if tied I believe it's the ROW's which the Oilers have.

Edit" could be wrong though lol

Growing up in NS, u had to move around to find work. Wasn’t any here in my day outta school. Alberta is full of people from Atlantic Canada. Did u ever see the Newfie bars in Ft Mac?
Lots of work around Halifax now. Naval contract assures that

Ha...back when I was in school my summer job was working for a moving company. At least half the company were Newfies. They were related to each other....cousins etc. Man they could drink.
We would be up in Fort Mac and their thing was to drink, argue and fight.
Always entertaining.

Like that way around here as well. Lots of different slang. Our ancestors were a bunch or drunk Scots from Braveheart

That Curtis Joseph mask is the best of all time. The colour pattern is perfection!

The 3 goal comeback against Dallas made me a believer that anything is possible. Never leave your seat early!

The Todd Marchant goal is so iconic for me. I was supposed to be asleep (I think I was 11 at the time) and I had my clock radio under my pillow with the volume just loud enough to hear the broadcast.

When Marchant scored I flew out of my room to the living room where my parents were watching TV (not the game) and screamed that I needed to see the goal that the oilers just scored. My parents just had this blank stare and my dad changed the channel so I could see the post game.

That playoff run turned me into an Oilers fan and I never looked back. Safe to say that the '97 playoff run had a major impact on my sports fandom.

Your sports fan origin story could be made into a movie.

Me too. I was 7 years old so it was the first major moment for the Oilers that I was old enough to appreciate and remember. Other than games I missed because I played hockey myself growing up, I've probably watched 90% of the games ever since.

Are you telling me that it's not normal for a native New Yorker to cheer for two Detroit teams and an Edmonton based team?
