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!
Oh how I wish the Oilers will win! And I am not even a hockey fan!
ReplyDeleteIm not sure if I ever told you but Buster's other parent and my ex has a whole room Oilers themed!!!!
ReplyDelete@ Mistress Maddie -- They sound like my type of guys! Go Oilers!
DeleteYes 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.
DeleteI hope they win, and put on a good show for the fans.
ReplyDeleteI love the bandwagon application!
ReplyDelete...you sure are passionate!
ReplyDeleteI'm such a fair-weather hockey fan, when the Blues were eliminated I stopped paying attention :-)
ReplyDeleteIs it awful for me to hope they bury the Texas (probably tRumpers) team?
ReplyDeleteOMG I read the title and thought: TARIFFS!
ReplyDeleteThat'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
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Go Oilers!
ReplyDelete🤗🏒 I'm signing my Bandwagon form right now! Reason: Debra! 💪👏🤘🤣
ReplyDeleteApplication completed. Where do I send it? North Pole in care of Santa?
ReplyDelete@ Moving with Mitchel -- Yes, and tell him you're a good boy while you're at it!
DeleteGlad you have something you love so much. LOL
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed. Did you get a new shirt for this round?
ReplyDelete@ BootsandBraids -- No, the old one has been workiing well so far!
DeleteMy team, the Boston Bruins didn't even make the playoffs so I can get behind Edmonton. Let's Go!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteMy conclusion: Baseball and football are for pussies.
@ Rade -- I can't argue with your conclusions, lol. And Tampa Bay Lightning is one of my favourite American teams!
DeleteGo 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!
ReplyDeleteCome on Edmonton! Ra! Ra! Ra! Did you know that Pixie lives near Edmonton? ("My Life So Far" blog)
ReplyDelete@ Yorkshire Pudding -- Yes, I do know that! With luck, maybe we'll meet for coffee some day!
DeleteGet after it, boys -- GO OILERS GO!!
ReplyDeleteoh 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
ReplyDeleteHow did my favourite team get on, Debra?
ReplyDelete@ Liz Hinds -- Alas, Dallas won the first game 6-3. Hopefully Edmonton will do better in the next game on Friday night.
DeleteOk, time to regroup. Come on, Oilers! We KNOW you can do it!
ReplyDeleteBet you're watching the Stanley Cup on Wednesday! Go Oilers!
