Nostalgic series match up

Agree... I cringed even looking at your avatar. It's been over 20 years and it's still too soon.

If Edmonton gets about average goaltending, Edmonton in 6.

 

[Coffey]

And then we reboot Todd Marchant for just one game. Or just his dollar-store version, McLeod.

Todd never had a giveaway as egregious as last night! But otherwise, yes they are the same lol

 

[bucks_oil]

Oooohhh.....

I was just the 97th vote for "Oilers in 6"... that's gotta be a sign! (Also, OP... why is the poll open until June 10th... let's close it before game 1!)

Should be a great series.

 

[v00d00daddy]

Edmontons chance to show what they really are. I hope they step up and win.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Stars in six.

Here’s a crazier stat for you.

Stars/Oilers last playoff game against eachother was game 6 in 2003.

25 days later Wyatt Johnston was born.

 

[HolyGhost]

Oilers are screwed

 

[57special]

I'm going with EDM. As soon as they found out that Minnesota wasn't in the playoffs, they breathed a huge sigh of relief. It's been all gravy for them ever since.

 

[CupofOil]

I love that so many of you are counting out the Oilers. Inject that shit into my veins,

Why the sarcasm emoji? Nothing you said was a lie!

The Oilers have the 3 top scorer's in the playoffs.....McDavid/Drai and Bouchard are > anything the stars have faced so far.

If last years wild took this stars team to 6 games....the Oilers can for sure win this series.

Otter is pretty mentally fragile - easy to rattle. Mcdavid and Drai are already in his head. Oilers in 6.

This much is true... that and Vegas losing. We've been high ever since,... especially Skinner.

 

[Frozen Failure]

Not expecting a pushover series but I think Dallas comes out on top again.

They’re playing themselves. If the Oilers advance against what is apparently a heavily favored team, they’ll be forced to respect that, no?

No, they’ll simply move the goal posts again and think up some new reason why they shouldn’t be playing in the Finals. “Dallas beat themselves up against Vegas and Colorado!”

 

[Elysian]

Dallas in 5

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Change each teams uniforms to the 97s please.

It’s a bit early to be drinking. No idea why you are comparing last year and this year. Dallas is a different team. Otherwise Vegas would have won like they did last year.

Also you are the first and only person to call Oettinger mentally fragile. Everyone else says the exact opposite about him.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

the number of salty, bitter Canuck and Flame fans taking Dallas in four is giving me such life.

imagine being a Wild fan though. I'd probably be drinking in the day too.

 

[hangman005]

Can this series just not end it?

 

[iCanada]

Let's party like it's 1997. The only year that I can recall from the late 90s and early 00s for no particular reason.

I'd take Edmonton in 4, but my evil powers are not working reliably

This has got to be the funniest post yet.

Which team can drill a 7-well pad faster

Probably Dallas. But if you factor in safety and maintenance we'll make more money long term.
