Canada's Hopes And Dreams Rest With The Oilers Now


In the Stanley Cup playoffs, all the Canadian teams are gone now except the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers have made it to Round 3, the Western Conference Final, against the Dallas Stars. If they defeat Dallas, the Oilers will advance to Round 4 and play for the Stanley Cup itself, against whoever wins the Eastern Conference Final. Fingers crossed!

Now's the time for all fans of the other Canadian teams to get on the Oilers bandwagon! Everyone is welcome! And all you Americans whose teams have been eliminated are welcome too!




Game 1 of the Western Conference Final is tonight! Play La Bamba, Baby!

Oh how I wish the Oilers will win! And I am not even a hockey fan!

Mistress Maddie said...

Im not sure if I ever told you but Buster's other parent and my ex has a whole room Oilers themed!!!!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Mistress Maddie -- They sound like my type of guys! Go Oilers!

Travel said...

I hope they win, and put on a good show for the fans.

Boud said...

I love the bandwagon application!

Tom said...

...you sure are passionate!

Mistress Maddie said...

Yes you would! They have even been up to Canada several times every season for various hockey games. But love the Oilers. I'm certain they are following all of this.

I'm such a fair-weather hockey fan, when the Blues were eliminated I stopped paying attention :-)

Is it awful for me to hope they bury the Texas (probably tRumpers) team?

OMG I read the title and thought: TARIFFS!
That's how traumatized I am by Jabba The Orange and his fuckery.
That also tells you how little I know about sports. I like hockey players, though. Perfect trade.

XOXO

DVArtist said...

Glad you have something you love so much. LOL

BootsandBraids said...

Fingers crossed. Did you get a new shirt for this round?

Bill said...

My team, the Boston Bruins didn't even make the playoffs so I can get behind Edmonton. Let's Go!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Moving with Mitchel -- Yes, and tell him you're a good boy while you're at it!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ BootsandBraids -- No, the old one has been workiing well so far!

I never gave hockey much thought until I lived in Tampa Bay, and we had the Tampa Bay Lightning. We would go to baseball games, some foot ball games. Always BEER. Every vendor was BEER. Budweiser, or if you were lucky, Full Moon Pale Ale. Then the Lightning came to town and we went to tour the rink where they played. WHISKEY. Everywhere, WHISKEY on tap! Whiskey banners everywhere. That, to me, spoke VOLUMES about the hockey fan, and really explained a LOT about the strength and determination of the fans!

My conclusion: Baseball and football are for pussies.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Rade -- I can't argue with your conclusions, lol. And Tampa Bay Lightning is one of my favourite American teams!

Go OILERS Go! When older son played street hockey he wore Oilers hockey socks, no idea where they came from, as he was a Leafs fan. But Go OLIERS Go anyway!

Yorkshire Pudding said...

Come on Edmonton! Ra! Ra! Ra! Did you know that Pixie lives near Edmonton? ("My Life So Far" blog)

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Yorkshire Pudding -- Yes, I do know that! With luck, maybe we'll meet for coffee some day!

Tundra Bunny said...

Get after it, boys -- GO OILERS GO!!

Anonymous said...

oh sure. now you want American's support! Who are the Oilers and what are you even referring to? What's a bandwagon? Is that the computer thing? Sincerely, a confused American

Liz Hinds said...

How did my favourite team get on, Debra?

e said...

Ok, time to regroup. Come on, Oilers! We KNOW you can do it!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Liz Hinds -- Alas, Dallas won the first game 6-3. Hopefully Edmonton will do better in the next game on Friday night.

Bet you're watching the Stanley Cup on Wednesday! Go Oilers!
