To those who say the Oilers won’t win the cup.

Maybe!

Most of these players want their names on the Stanley Cup more than anything else.

Except $$$

On three occasions in 2023-2024, Edmonton Oilers have lost three in a row, and then went on to win the next 5 or more games in a row. Game 5, 8 o’clock eastern time. Series in now 3 and 1. Don’t count Edmonton out!

Today I learned that Florida has a hockey team, but that their hockey team are all rented Canadians, Swedes and Finns hiding from the snow which I guess makes sense

Florida has TWO National Hockey League teams. Not just ONE. Tampa Bay Lightning, and Panthers based in Sunrise, Florida. And surprisingly, many Canadians, Swedes, Finns (and many others) actually love the cold and the snow. No tornados, no hurricanes, no fire ants, alligators, water snakes, scorpions, iguanas, invasive species of all sorts, and so on and so on. I’ll take snow anytime!

We do have fire ants in Vancouver 😬. But also, yoga pants are quite popular, so, we stay.

Some don’t. That’s why they are here. The toughest ticket to buy during the regular season is Christmas week when the Panthers play Toronto or Montreal.

This cup needs to go to Canada for a change . Hockey in Florida and Nevada for that matter, is just wrong….

Been a long time for Canada. I remember Roy winning 10 straight overtime games in 93 when Montreal won it that year. Incredible. Enjoying the finals as always, and hope to see a few more games.

True, there are some Albertans here.

If I recall correctly, you too might be defined as an invasive alien, having emigrated to Vancouver some years ago! So don’t be so tough on Albertans who may have moved there!
