Oiler Parades

[Comic Book Guy*]

I wasn't in the country when the Oilers won their cups in the 80-90s. Do you know where their parade route is?

What are they like? Is it anything like Whyte Ave circa 2006?

We are going to use the red mile for our next parade.

Ya, Whyte ave has never been the parade route, just became the unofficial party place.

Pretty sure it was straight down Jasper and up 82nd Ave to Commonwealth Stadium where there were 50,000+ fans waiting inside.

Just to clarify, it would be 82nd Street to Commonwealth. 82nd avenue is of course Whyte.

Yonge and Dundas square

The first one in 1984 actually started in the far reaches of Edmonton. Bus's were flipped, Bus drivers were intoxicated, anyone who had a car was drinking and driving, along with the 8 people they shoved in. It ended on Jasper avenue with half my buddy's in High School getting beat up by cops.

The next one saw Giant golf balls rolling down Jasper ave, Hextall effigies being hung and burned, and stupid people like myself wearing a Philly Jersey being chased down the block by rampaging fans. A number of Philly fans had their jersey's ripped off of them and stomped into the ground while having beer thrown at us by vehicles passing by.

As for the actual parade...haven't got a clue.

It's not, just by the background I can see my old apartment building which was on 99st just off Jasper and they're south of that. Location of the picture I'm guessing around where Telus Field is now.

I like this guy's thinking. Doesn't even have six rings but knows how to show off like a champion.

I don't think they had a parade for the 1990 Cup, they had a rally at the football stadium instead.
