Does anyone else find it weird the oilers and their fans are trying to retcon la bamba as this long time historic song tied to the oilers?

Huh?Doesn’t matter who wins.
The NHL loses
Doesn’t matter who wins.
The NHL loses
How so?
I can't imagine a much better marketing win for the league and the Amazon series coming out soon then the Oilers winning Monday night.
Go look at the buzz this series is creating YouTube, Reddit, Tiktok, Instagram, etc right now. It's wild. This is a marketing wet dream. The league's best player is potentially in the middle of a story book come from behind win while in the middle of a come from behind story book season... All the while it just so happens a third party just happens to be there documenting everything with straight all access cameras.
I literally couldn't write a more perfect script; could you?
I opened this thread while watching Everybody's in LA on Netflix as Los Lobos was on playing La Bamba. It's a sign from the hockey gods that the Cup will be dragged back to Alberta for Joey and Ben.You're just wrong dude.
The La Bamba thing started when Joey Moss died on October 26th 2020 as a tribute to him and the impact he had on the city and the team.
Joey Moss used to play it in the dressing room all the time. In recent years it was because little Ben that it become known more. I understand what you are saying but it is not a recent thing..Does anyone else find it weird the oilers and their fans are trying to retcon la bamba as this long time historic song tied to the oilers?
it is getting cluttered and some of the stuff was redundantMods here generally do a great job but I do think it would be cool if we were able to have prediction threads or at least separate polls for each game
It'll be nice for the Oilers fans, but no one else will care.How so?

Pretty sure that's one of the Leafs boards' many "Oilers only win because the west is bad" crew. Those guys only have 1 script.How so?

Oilers are a powerhouse franchise in the nhl financially. This year the oilers tied Toronto for most revenue brought into the NHL.It'll be nice for the Oilers fans, but no one else will care.
It’s really crazy when you think of that fact. Small, remote, Northwestern Canadian city.Oilers are a powerhouse franchise in the nhl financially. This year the oilers tied Toronto for most revenue brought into the NHL.

As a mostly neutral but beyond excited observer, this may be one of the only game ruining scenariosI Have a funny feeling Kane is coming in, and gets the GWG to boot
You can cheer for the ghosts of Hartikainen, Pakarinen, Joensuu, Petrell, and any other Finn that played for us during the decade of darkness.I really, really, really hope for Florida win (as a Finnish homer and Barkov worshipper) - but still, an amazing series, such a great thing to get to see a game 7 for the Cup! And that guy, whatshisname, McDonald? Not a bad player!
he gets the GWG and if oilers win the cup hes gonna retire.Perry plays game of his life.

He is one of my all-time favorites. Not many NHLers created their own language.Just remember - Finnish legend Esa Tikkanen is pulling for the oil.
