Hurricanes win the cup

Man I didn’t get any of my predictions right tonight, except for Bob Cole being an idiot still. Even Don Cherry was wearing something sort of normal! Chris Pronger only played just over 26 minutes, and there isn’t much rejoicing in the streets (though there are a few people still, cheering the Oilers).

Pisani scored, but it obviously wasn’t the game winner. Hemsky did a whole lot of nothing, just like most of the team. Staios had a particularly trying game. Our top line didn’t show up tonight, they were each -2, and only had 3 of our 23 shots. Markkanen kept it close for us – he played well again.

The officials actually called a decent game. They made two mistakes as far as I am concerned. The first was the missed call against Carolina right before they gave us a penalty (which the Hurricanes scored their second goal on). The second was Smyth’s penalty to negate our two man advantage.

Full credit to the Hurricanes, they played a great game. They certainly brought more to the table tonite than the Oilers did. Thanks Oilers for a great run, it was fun while it lasted. I certainly enjoyed watching hockey in June! And as proud as I am that they made it game seven of the finals, I’m even more disappointed they lost because they made it to game seven of the finals. Let’s hope they sign all of the important free agents (bye Dvorak!) and have a great start to next year.

Go Oilers Go!
