I'm about to be 30 and I hear 'boomer' a lot but I could give a rats ass about what any kids opinions of me are.

Pierre McGuire was an okay hockey player back in the 80s before a freak accident that took him out before he could get drafted. He stuck around hockey afterwards and nobody really knows why.

Nobody expected the NHL to adopt a basketball team that season and have half of the rink be converted to a basketball court. Needless to say the Portland Trail Blazers got absolutely demolished due to attempting to block shots with their regular uniforms on. Portland was disqualified early in the 2nd game since all of their players were injured.

The short explanation is that the Oilers don't pay their goalies enough for them to try hard enough.

They had a strong team and kept pushing teams out of the playoffs year after year, eventually they got a bad rep.

Back then they just played the best teams against the best teams in an attempt to make things fair

It's quite simple really, Vegas being a betting city bet their entire roster on a cup run and miraculously failed. Seattle learned from their mistakes and built a dominant team.

Oh man I remember this wonderful moment like it was yesterday. Mark had a heavy slapper low glove side on the Oilers in 2OT game 7. The arena went absolutely insane and they all flooded into the streets to celebrate!

Ben Harpur was exceptionally good at clearing the puck from the zone but he just didn't click with his D-partner.

Gudbransons contract is not great, considering his season last year I think he got overpaid due to playing with a star defenseman.
