Don't know how you can watch such a slow paced yawn of a sport

Game 7!!! The series all comes down to one final game. It could go either way. The Ducks have home ice advantage which during this series has proven to be not much of an advantage at all. With the Ducks recent past history of not converting in games seven (I.E. Hibsing it) the advantage may well be with the Oilers. I really hope so. That would be an acheivement of gargantuan proportions for this young team were it to happen. After finishing 29th last season (in a 30 team league) they have really turned the corner by making 3 or 4 astute signings this season. Really improved team toughness (huge in this league) and defence. There is no doubt that intimidation ( not just physical) can go a long way towards winning the Cup.These guys back down from nobody. Also required is a bit of scoring depth throughout the team. That is one area where they will have to improve if they want to progress further. The supposed second forward line has not produced much during these playoffs and will need to contribute better going forward......starting tonight would be good. Game time is still about 14 hrs away and I am jacked already. On vacation now so will have to keep busy today or I will drive myself mental!!

LETESTU!!! Yes he is but he gets lots of time on the powerplay and has a great first time shot which they try and set up every time on the powerplay. It is funny but during the season he plays on the third or fourth lines which are out on the ice against the other teams top 2 lines ideally. He is extremely good defensively, gets into the right positions etc and takes away time and space from the opposition forwards. He is quite the anomally in that he is very good defensively but had a good upside offensively. He scored the most Oiler poewerplay goals last season mostly on one timers from where he scored that one the other night.Not a star but a very valuable player and a local boy from the Edmonton area.

Game 7 1-0 Oilers after one period. Pretty evenly played but the Oilers cashed in on a turn over in the Ducks end. Gotta go. Second period just started.
Edit1: 1-1 after 2 periods.
Edit 2: Ducks win series 2-1. Ducks advance and Oilers can start booking tee times.
On a positive note. I leave tomorrow for San Francisco and can now travel a bit lighter. No Oilers sweater coming along now. No need to hunt down a bar with playoff hockey on while on vacay.
