I have to admit, I all but wrote off the Edmonton Oilers in their Stanley Cup final against the Carolina Hurricanes. I am not alone in my skepticism, especially after the Oilers lost playoff star goalie Dwayne Roloson. But with a little luck, and a lot of heart, Edmonton has rebounded back to force a deciding seventh game with a 4-0 thrashing over the Hurricanes this evening.The only team to comeback from a 3-1 deficit to win the Cup were the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, who came back from 3-0 down to beat the Detroit Red Wings. Unfortunately for the Oilers, I don't see it happening this time.
The Oilers have the momentum, but the game will be played in Carolina where the Hurricanes were 31-8-2 this season. Although I will be cheering for them, I have a sinking feeling the luck will run out inOil Town. We'll know one way or the other Monday night.
