44,000 there that night. Landed about 9 rows in front of my Dad after that goal, we were in the King Street end. My first cup replay, 9 years old at the time, great memories.

Not really, didn't think we deserved anything from the game it's just that some of your cohorts seem to be in a permanent state of rage.

You are such an angry classless individual. You seem to have a permanent hate for the Don's. I'd hate to see a response from you if you had lost. Clown.

Abysmal performance from us. Don't see any fight or any sort of emotion from this team at all.

Off to Puerto Vallrta tomorrow for two weeks. Going to be -30 on Wednesday here so good timing. February 10 and heading to Fiji and New Zealand for 3 weeks. Middle of May we're going to Porto to start our Camino de Santiago walk. 250 km in 12 days up the Portuguese coast and into Spain to Santiago. Did the central Portuguese route in 2022 and it was a great experience so really looking forward to this one.

No need thanks I remember it very well. The Avs were the better team in that playoff round, not disputing that in the slightest and I have already acknowledged how great that Makar and McKinnon are. You obviously don't think McDavid is better than both of them so let's agree to disagree here.

Looking at the league through burgundy coloured glasses here. As good as they are, McKinnon can't do half the things on ice that McDavid can. McKinnon has only racked up 100 points once in his career and McDavid has done it six times, including a remarkable 153 points last year. And yes, McKinnon has a Stanley Cup, but I'm sure McDavid time will come. After a dreadful 2-9-1 start to the year, the Oilers are 14-3 since November 24th, the best record in the league by far. It seems that finally this team has far more balanced scoring and are not relying on McDavid and Draisaitl every night.

Interesting that Turnbull never started the same first XI in each round of the cup that year. Ernie McGarr played against Clyde and I think maybe Kirkland and Hamilton played a couple of games. Squad depth was obviously a thing in 1969-70.

Maybe 1975 when it became Grampian Transport? Seems to ring a bell in the old brain.

Agree. I believe that 1970/71 team was amongst the best in the club's history. A tremendous side.

At least the Flames had the good sense to fire Sutter. He cost you in the playoffs last season and not even making the post season this year. His old school ways have caught up to him.

Carolina have done it already in 2006 against your obviously favourite Oilers.

The old curse of the Presidents Trophy winners. There have been 37 winners of the trophy and only 8 have won the Stanley Cup. Last team was the 2012-2012 Blackhawks. I think the Bruins clinched a playoff spot in March so maybe it's a mindset thing. Can only hope the Panthers can take care of the Leafs. Their fans will be unbearable if they win that series.

100% agree on Patrick Roy, certainly a difference maker, although that great Avs team still managed to lose in the first round of the '98 playoffs to the Oil after being up 3-1. Curtis Joseph being the difference maker in the series. I don't know if you see much of the Oilers but they are a way different proposition this season, especially after the All Star break and the trade deadline. We're much bigger at the back end and the power play is other worldly. Don't make predictions but we have so much more to our game and Leon won't be playing on one leg these playoffs. Good luck to you.
