Oiler Fan, You Did Canada Proud

RonH · 06-10-2006

Well its a saturday nite and I'm watching the Stanley Cup. I just watched the excitement and joy of Canadian Hockey. Its 8:30pm and I just watch Edmonton fan sing with heart and joy both our anthem and Canadian anthem. It was great.
Now I gotta get back to the game.

Cosmo · 06-10-2006

Not a huge fan, but have to say how cool it was of the fans to be respectfull of the
US national anthem. I heard that some US fans booed O Canada at a game in the
states - totally classsless. Oilers 1-0.. good luck and great fans! eh!

Well, the series is 3-2 now, Carolina leading ....I was so happy the Oilers won in overtime last night, what a game.

Next game is Saturday night in Edmonton- go Oilers!

Rissask, you KNOW that my allegiances make it difficult to even look at your current avatar, but, as a Canadian and a hockey fan, if it's gotta be somewhere, the Cup might as well be in Alberta.

GO OILERS!!!

(Did I actually type that?)

As a Winnipeger and a HUGE Winnipeg Jets fan..

Those guys are considered a local bar band in Winni aren't they?

Their concert here met with RAVE reviews!

btodd · 06-16-2006

We did see the Guess Who at their first out of retirement show at our outdoor baseball stadium................it was amazing!! I think the fact that I had to pay the airfare portion of our April 2007 holiday plus a certain Father's Day gift had something to do with our decision to stay home and watch the game tomorrow!!

B Kromm · 06-16-2006

That's right, the gift

You'll have to let me know how that goes

I'm outta here, work day is done. Have a great weekend

The Winnipeg Jets?

Now Joan, are you really a hockey fan?

btodd · 06-16-2006

Yes. Yes Yes!! Peeps can't understand the undying devotion that we Winnipegers have to our beloved Jets.......we grew up with them. My Dad had season tickets from 1972 until the very last day........we all rallied and hoped that they could stay in Winnipeg. The reason it is so hard for people from Winnipeg to cheer for the Oilers is that they (Wayne Gretzky in his prime) always found a way to beat us and eliminate us from the playoffs....................we have moved on......we have the Moose (AHL) but try as they might, they really pale in comparison...............so there is the long winded version of yes..............I am a true hockey fan!!

Viva Playa · 06-16-2006

Well, Les Canadiens are long gone but ..... Bonne chance to the Oilers.... Hopefully they will go all the way .... Hey..........

Anyone else watching the game tonight? I live about 20 blocks from Rexall Place - I can almost hear the crowd from my back step! Predictions anyone?

Dallas91 · 06-17-2006

Since I am watching ESPN SportsCenter right now, it would be nothing more than statement of Fact. Edmonton has tied it up. Sounds like a great series but I haven't seen any of it. My brother took my nephew to game 2.
It all comes down to game 7 in Carolina.
