Omfg… it gets worse? It's just all ads now. This makes me plot revenge.
Talk about action! And, Bob Cole too!
Edmonton Oilers culture was born in 1982 and and held on until 1991. Great team!
This was Wayne Gretsky's second trip to the Stanley Cup finals and his first victory! The Edmonton Oilers and the New York Islanders had so much great talent on the ice! Unfortunately, the NY Islanders were so banged up. Game 1 and 2 of this Stanley Cup Finals showed how good both teams were! In Game 1, the two teams battled each her so evenly. In the second game, the Islanders showed how good they were even though they had so many injuries! What turned this series to Edmonton's favor was when Wayne Gretsky finally scored! From that moment onward, the momentum was with Edmonton and they never looked back after that!
The islanders only needed a few more Pat’s to beat the oilers. It’s unfortunate but the goal scorers for the islanders were tired, and worn out. Billy should have stayed in net also.
Look how confident Moog is
Love stand up goalies 😂
RIP DAVE SEMEKO
I've noticed EDMONTON IS wearing helmets! Too little to late.
I played street hockey with him in SPRUCE GROVE and went to school with his sister Joannea
Really goes to show how short hockey games are when you take out the TV Timeouts and Intermissions.
1:30:48 The moment we will never forget. (As oilers fans.)
The year before, when the Oilers lost to the Islanders, they gave birth to a story that I have told my son many times. Maybe mostly fact. After the Islanders beat the Oilers the previous year, I had read a story that Messier and Gretzky were all changed into their street clothes, still pumped and ready to go play another game, full of disappointment but still lots of youthful energy, and heading down a hallway. They wanted to sneak past the Islanders' dressing room, and what they saw stayed with them forever. What they saw was an Islander team physically drained, having been really pushed by the Oilers. They were celebrating, but being an ageing team, they were also clearly spent. Messier and Gretzky learned two things that day: 1- In order to win the Cup you have to give absolutely everything physically that you've got and then some. And 2- They saw that the Islanders, although they had beaten them and the other Oilers, were at the end of their dynasty and the younger, faster Oilers were ready to take the throne. Like I say, maybe mostly fact, but a great story.
LIKE FROM ME BAKU CITY COUNTRY AZERBAIJAN. THANKS
does anyone know if theres complete year playoffs on video from the 80s oilers
Obvs players in 2023 now bigger and stronger and better athletes, but look at the crowd here: No explosions or instructions on how to cheer. No piped in music. No advertisements on the boards or ice, few expensive replica jerseys. Refs let everything go, players tough as nails. Semenko a regular shift on Gretzky's wing. Champagne in old buckets. Fans on the ice, pandemonium. That was fun to watch.
Iconic game in an iconic time
Greatest moment of my childhood. The Oilers win their first Stanley Cup! I was 12
another beatdown
For huge Oilers fans like myself this is where it all began. The start of the Oilers dynasty and possibly the best NHL team of all time.
