The Edmonton Oilers beat the Dallas Stars last night 6-3. Edmonton scored three goals in the first 8 minutes which caused Dallas to call a time out and put in their back up goalie. They won the series 4 games to 1 and face the Florida Panthers on Wednesday.
They faced Florida in the Stanley cup final last year but their goalie was unbeatable and fell behind. Then when they finally figured out how to beat their goalie they had an amazing comeback which took the series to a heartfelt game 7 which they lost. This year Edmonton is hot.
Everyone is hopeful. I'm not a hockey guy but a lot of other Canadians are. Connor McDavid is a Canadian hero who plays for the Oilers and scored the winning goal against US for team Candace. Connor McDavid is from Ontario originally.
I guess Edmonton beat Dallas in the Western conference finals last year as well. Edmonton certainly isn't the largest city in Canada. It's smaller than Vancouver and Vancouver is tiny compared to Toronto and Montreal. Yet Edmonton always puts out an awesome hockey team. A lot better than Vancouver.
