congrats to Edmonton... you played well and fought well...

Sixteen years. We haven't been here in sixteen years. I was four. The first eighth seeded team to not only make it to the conference final, but win it. Ever.

I simply cannot express how joyous the city is right now. Whyte Ave (the designated party street) was an absolute madhouse. The roads are closed off, and it's an 8 block, block party. Singing, dancing, high fives, girls flashing, general antics, chants of "we want the cup!", and just general good times had by all.

Atleast the Oil will finally have a rest. They've played 17 games in like what, a month or so?

The cup is coming home.

Good luck to the Oilers, I'll be rooting for them.

Of course you know, if Edmonton doesn't win the Cup, it will BURN.

Edmonton or bust. I'm just amazed that a team who barely made it into the playoffs has made it so far. They're incredible and totaly deserve to be where they are. Oilers ftw.

Game 7 Thursday. Who wins the series?

Still going with the Canes.

Buffalo wins tommorow, Edmonton beats Buffalo in six games.

1: Buf
2: Edm
3: Edm
4: Edm
5: Buf
6: Edm

I am going with the Canes too. The sabres just seem to be making to many mistakes.

The biggest mistake Carolina will make will be showing up.

I hope Buffalo wins their series - only because I know the goalie coach. Edmonton is taking it in the finals though. Nothing will stop them.

Except for Hurricane Ward.

Funny, considering the only way Buffalo will win is if Carolina in fact doesn't show up.

Game 7, would you say that the Canes are the underdogs? It's definitely been a great series.

Considering how much time Edmonton is getting to rest, (which I beleve is what ruined the Ducks' run) I wonder how they'll fare...

Its confirmed. Hurricanes vs Oilers for the Stanley Cup.

I think this will be a pretty exciting championship series. I am really looking forward to it.

Oilers in 5 or Canes in 7.

I say Oilers in six personally. Looks to be a long, good series.

I love how A small market team will raise the cup either way.

Oilers in 7.

My prediction: If Edmonton gets off to a quick start and wins games one and two, it will be the Oil in 5. If they split the first games, it'll be the Oil in 6.

I'd agree with Oilers in six. It's still the finals, I expect at least 6 games of amazing hockey in the fight for the cup.

Game one later today. Who takes the first game of the series?

I say Oilers 3 Canes 2

I like the Oilers in this series too. Plus the team and the fans are more deserving. The Carolina fans don't deserve a championship IMO. They aren't crazy for their team like Edmonton, plus they are pretty fairweather.

This is going to be a damn good series, my prediction is the Oilers in six.

Jesus, Cam Ward is a witch. Those two saves on virtual empty netters were just sick.

Roloson is out with a knee injury. MacTavish has stated that he won't play another game in the series.

We're done.

As much as it hurts me to admit it, we're finished. Conklin is terrible. Did you see the game-winner he let in? And while Markennen may be good, he is still after all a backup goalie.

Backup goalies do not win Stanley Cup series.
