Despite the best efforts of the referees, the Oilers are gonna take the cup tonight. Hemsky will have another key goal, and Pisani will score the winner. Carolina will not be able to match the physical play and intensity of Edmonton. It won’t be a blowout like Game 6, but it won’t be close either.
Of course, I can also predict the obvious stuff – Bob Cole will prove he’s still an idiot, Chris Pronger will play over 30 minutes, Don Cherry will wear something horrendous, and there will be much rejoicing in the streets of Edmonton.
Go Oilers Go!
Oh, and please, please, please, do not put Weight in the lineup Carolina! No sense in injuring Doug so bad that he’s out for good. He wouldn’t be able to make a difference tonight anyway.
