7-1 Oil after two periods. If they blow this lead I will scream like a little girl!

Wed is going to be unreal Downtown.

SHOFEAR · #**603** Posted **May 8, 2017, 2:41 PM**

cool night downtown yesterday. I saw more people on the balconies at one time in the icon towers than i have in 7 years of living there. like 3 fold. even chatted with the people right below me while leaning over the edge.

Does anybody else find it as infuriating as I do when they show outdated skyline shots and pics from around the city on NHL broadcasts?

hilman · #**605** Posted **May 8, 2017, 3:00 PM**

^ The one 2010 shot of the EPCOR Tower going up is just brutal.

SHOFEAR · #**606** Posted **May 8, 2017, 3:23 PM**

ah yes. the classic nighttime shot from the north.

Night time shot from the south typically has a crane on Epcor as well.

Day time shot they were using yesterday was from August....and one from a few weeks ago which was a surprise to see.

Coldrsx · #**607** Posted **May 8, 2017, 4:51 PM**

They always do that... it looked good though vis a vis the non-Epcor ones they used to use.

Drives me nuts.
Especially because of the rapid changes around the arena.

You mean the shot that doesn't even show ROGERS PLACE the very location they are broadcasting from? No it does not bother me at all. NOT.

Think Zack Kassian having that moment with a fan after scoring Oiler's third goal - might be t-h-e image of the 2017 playoffs no matter what.

Paul Grant at ESPN opines:

The Oilers were as good as cooked. After the young team blew a three-goal lead in the last 3:16 and then lost in double OT in Game 5, expectations were very low heading into Game 6. But the best story of the playoffs lives on after the Oilers responded with a dominant win over the Ducks to force what should be a thrilling Game 7.

Leon Draisaitl, not Connor McDavid, was the story, joining an elite group of Oilers with five-point playoff games. But no matter what happens in Game 7, the Oilers have shown they have more than enough character to be considered a legitimate contender worthy of being in the final four.

If someone has the time and photoshop talent to put an Oilers jersey on Mr. Fudd, please do so and post it here

Great to hear. I hope we can build this into a much larger event.

Hallsy's Toupee · #**618** Posted **May 11, 2017, 4:48 AM**

Great season, Oilers. A pity it had to end now.

Hallsy's Toupee · #**619** Posted **May 11, 2017, 5:12 AM**

At least the series is finally over so that I no longer have to put up with that horrible "Immigrant Song" remix as the Oilers entrance song in Anaheim.
