There was a 4 full pages of photo of the WEM in my childhood geography textbook, Since then I always wanted to visit.

Its just hard to convince the wife to choose Edmonton over Spain for vacations..
You ever been to Vegreville?
 
2017 Pittsburgh again game 7 vs Ottawa, 0 goals from Crosby and Malkin, they win anyway on the back of stellar goaltending.

2017 Pittsburgh again game 7 vs Washington, they get a shut out from their goaltending to win the series. No goals from Crosby/Malkin.

Crosby/Malkin were shut in like 4 game 7s and Pittsburgh won all of them en route to their 3 Cups.

Goal. Tending. Matters.

This ain't the Pond Hockey Championships, you have to find ways to win even when your fancy players don't get on the board, that's what the SC playoffs are about.

If your whole schtick is "we're gonna McDraibaby our way to a CUP!" eventually you're going to run into a goalie on the other end that doesn't let that happen, and then do you have anything in the tank that lets you win another way or not?

But the Oilers have only scored 2 goals or less 15 times, and Skinner has allowed 3 goals or more 20 times this year (21 including tonight). Could it be that you blaming the offense is… wrong?
In the specific game where only 2 were given up? No. It was the offense that couldn't finish.

This is your problem: Comments are made about specific plays/games and you think they are blanket statements, then stew (Stu?) over them and totally misconstrue them in a different game.
