2007 SCF edition; ex-Oilers Pronger vs Comrie

Oh joy.

I can't hardly wait.

Yukon Jack did a rant (his daily 'my big yap' rant on 100.3 fm the Bear radio station in Edmonton) on this subject; as Oilers fans who do we cheer for? Oilers public enemy number 1, or public enemy number 2? (He left it up to the listeners to decide who is 1 and who is 2.)
Basically he's boycotting the SCF this season. He has a good point, butttttttttttt even with Comrie, I gotta go with the Senators on this one. Like Yukon Jack I hold a grudge, but the grudge against Pronger's wife is fresher than the grudge against Comrie.

I have mostly forgiven Pronger, but for the way he fucked over the Oilers due to his wife, I hope he never ever gets to pump Stanley around. He may be forgiven, but that doesn't mean I want to see him happy. Comrie was very much hated (and is still hated) by many Oilers fans for the way he left the Oilers, but his departure did not have the same impact as Pronger's departure did. Comrie did not lead the Oilers to within one game of the Stanley Cup and then bitch out for 'family reasons'. No, Comrie bitched out for more money, for a rumored dispute within the Oilers dressing room. Comrie was basically a little bitch, and we all hated him at the time, but time eases pain. The pain of Pronger dumping us has not subsided yet.
Good luck to you Comrie. Fuck you Pronger.

Thanks for the 1st round draft pick in 2008, but you can go to hell now Anaheim.




With my 10-4 prediction rate heading into the final, I fearlessly go with the Senators.
Todd Marchant doesn't deserve a Cup either.

SENATORS IN 6.

"Look at that break, it comes to Peca..........SCORES!"

On with the playoff memories.
With the Ducks off to the Western Final for the 2nd straight year, it brings to my mind the fun the Oilers had last season beating them in 5 games to advance to the SCF.
The Oilers were all the playoff "cliches" in 2006; a well-oiled machine, hitting on all cylinders, playing as a 5 man unit, etc.
What were the Oilers doing last year at approximately this time? Beating the Ducks 3-1 (en) in game 1 in Anaheim and making enemies with Teemu Selanne, that's what.
The best moment was Peca's shorthanded goal courtesy of a sweet long and high pass from Roli.
The video speaks for itself.
