291.1I know they willPOLAR::RICHARDSONHe who laughs bestFri May 04 1990 18:452
    Not me, I said they were going to win the cup in six way back in 
    January. Everyone thought I was nuts.
291.2Down in Flames!CGOFS::R_RYANI used to be a coyote but Im ok nowoooFri May 04 1990 19:4314
    Ah.... A man of rare intelligence and obvious wit. I know a bunch of
    Montreal fans out here wandering around mumbling and groaning, that are
    subject to unexplained fits of crying. I know that in Calgary they have
    done everything but blackout all hockey news and if you even mention
    the flames they get hysterical.
    All I said was "How many Flames does it take to change a flat tire? It
    depends... If its a blowout they all show up."
    "Why did Terry Crisp only dress half of his players in the games
    against LA?..... The rest could dress them selves."
    and...
    "Did they finally get that fire at the golf course put out? We heard there
    were flames racing all over it."
    
    
291.3Here's exactly what I said.POLAR::RICHARDSONHe who laughs bestFri May 04 1990 20:1720
      Here's my prediction from the Hockey Notesfile. Of course I was wrong
    about the Sabres, but not about the oilers. They have something to
    prove.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    	I am predicting that the Buffalo Sabres are going to make it to
    the Stanley Cup Finals this year only to loose out to the Edmonton
    Oilers. (In 6) Remember, you heard it here first.

    	Please keep in mind that I am a die-hard Habs fan and a great advocate
    of Canada's Famed Grand Canal Project which will be completed soon.

291.4Another tidbitPOLAR::RICHARDSONHe who laughs bestFri May 04 1990 20:215
    Do you realize that they are on an eight game winning streak?
    
    Nobody's going to stop these guys...
    
    
291.5Bruins revengeTRCA01::OBRIENGlenn O'Brien @TRO 2/9Fri May 04 1990 20:566
    Excuse the interruption, but the Boston Bruins will exact their
    revenge for two years ago.  With no Gretzky to save their a$$, the
    Bears are going to rip them open.  See you in the Gahdens.
    
    Glenn
    P.S.  I hear the power is back on at the Gardens   :-)
291.6Bruins...is that a disease!CGOFS::R_RYANI used to be a coyote but Im ok nowoooFri May 04 1990 21:246
    re:-.1 
    Sorry we can't excuse the interruption. The Bruins are dead meat and
    with Ranford playing like he is the Bruins will be dead decaying meat
    within 6 games ( and thats being generous ).

291.8Me and my big mouth!CGOFS::R_RYANI used to be a coyote but Im ok nowoooMon May 07 1990 17:3420
    
    
    
    *!@#%$@!
    
    Every time I open my mouth about the Oilers they end up putting me
    in my place by losing a game or three! Come on you #$!@@#^$s lets put
    those dang Chicago ##@%$#$%@s out of their misery!
    
    Oh no! I opened my mouth about the Oilers again; That means theyre going
    to lose another game! Right, there will be no more of that! No more talk 
    about the Edmonton Oilers!
    
    We'll just talk about Chicago that winning team! Heh Heh Heh! And those
    brilliant Boston Bruins! Hah Hah Hah! And good old Washington! Ho Ho
    Ho! Ha Ha Ha!
    
    Regards,
    Ron
    (everybody is going to win except the Oilers Ha Ha!)
291.9edmonton wants to play golf not hockeyMOCA::WILSON_DVAXft Manufacturing - EngineeringSat May 12 1990 23:0013
    lets give credit to edmonton they did bet chicago, the other night,
    so they led 3-2 .... i mean you must think what a wonderful team they 
    must be to duel with chicago, and still might be able to pull off a victory
    
    if the oilers can bet the tough, fast playing, fore checking, high 
    scoring chicago (who spent all season practicing against the like
    of the blues, maple believes, and detriot) .. they should run over 
    those wimps - the bruins

    ha!
    
    lets be honets all edmonton is thinking about is the golf course    
    
291.10POLAR::PONDWed May 16 1990 22:012
    Looked like hockey to me last night...3-2 victory in 6 periods.
    JumP.
291.11I'm not watching anymore!CGOFS::R_RYANI used to be a coyote but Im ok nowoooTue May 22 1990 20:202
    Did the Oilers win yet? I'm afraid to look!
    
291.12go go Gadget go!!!!OTOA01::PAQUINMy life as been supersededWed May 23 1990 13:034
    re-11
          Well they won last night anyway. 5-1
    
                                                 Chris :)
291.13They're the BEST!CGOFS::R_RYANI used to be a coyote but Im ok nowoooFri May 25 1990 17:154
    What a great game! The Oilers are the best hockey team in the world and
    proved it on thursday.
    Five cups in seven years and winning the fifth only two years after trading
    the greatest hockey player in the world to L.A.
291.14YesPOLAR::RICHARDSONHe who laughs bestFri May 25 1990 17:286
    	I would like to reiterate that I, a Habs fan, picked the Oilers
    to win the cup back in January. I said in (6) against Buffalo but, at
    least I picked the right team to win. The Oilers have definitely become
    a first rate organization.

    Glenn
291.15POLAR::PONDFri May 25 1990 17:385
    There is a rumor going around for VERY reputable sources, and I
    think this is probably a sure thing, that the Edmonton Oilers
    are planning to move the franchise to Sarnia (see note 53).
    
    Dude Ranch.
291.16Transportation is all arrangedKAOFS::S_BROOKHere today and here again tomorrowFri May 25 1990 17:513
    And they are going to move the Northlands colliseum, and the team, lock
    stock and barrel all the way on a barge on the western extension of the
    Grand Canal.
291.17POLAR::RICHARDSONHe who laughs bestFri May 25 1990 19:081
    	I believe the 'lock' part but not the stock and barrel part.
291.18petrolioilersMAGOS::WILSON_DVAXft Manufacturing - EngineeringTue May 29 1990 01:485
    move the oilers to sarnia!
    
    hardly ... probably to the east of sarnia, petrolia
    
    catchy name ... petrolioilers .. a fitting name for chemical valley
291.19Sorry. No really!CGOFS::R_RYANI used to be a coyote but Im ok nowoooTue May 29 1990 15:0913
    I'm sorry, but we cannot move the oilers down east. That would mean
    that the east would have a winning team which would totally disrupt the
    status quo. It would be unnatural, unthinkable, unconcionable, and
    unendurable.
    No! you easteners will just have to face up to the fact that winning
    the Stanley cup is not for you. I really am very sorry, but there you
    have it.
    
    Sincerely and with deepest regrets,
    
    Ron Ryan
    P.S Maybe your baseball teams will come through for you.
    
291.20I didn't want the Bruins, but the Oilers?!?!CADSE::WONGIn search of a better personal name...Wed May 30 1990 01:5010
    Gee, win a couple of Cups and you guys sure get uppity! :-P
    
    Remember, it is an Eastern team that has more major-league professional
    championships than any other team in ANY sport!  And that team was
    winning championships long before the Oilers were a twinkle in anyone's
    eyes.  You guys just get to hog the cup for a year and then we start
    all over again. So there! :-P
    
    
    The Mad Chinaman (Boston-based, but a Habs fan forever!)
291.21Bravo les OilersMQOFS::DESROSIERSLets procrastinate....tomorrowWed May 30 1990 18:3119
291.22Rename it the Edmonton Cup!CGOFS::R_RYANI used to be a coyote but Im ok nowoooWed May 30 1990 19:116
    How many years have Montreal been in the NHL?
    How many years have the Oilers been in the NHL?
    There lies the discrepency. Anyway I'm just sh** disturbing.
    
    Just buggin you all.
    Ron
291.23CADSE::WONGIn search of a better personal name...Wed May 30 1990 23:4911
>>>    Just buggin you all.
    
    	No prob. What you said was mild. :-)
    
    	Imagine being invited over to someone's house to watch the last
    Bruins-Canadiens game this season with 10 other die-hard Bruins fans,
    *JUST* because they knew you were the only Canadiens fan around?
    
    Now THAT'S giving someone grief. :-)

291.24POLAR::RICHARDSONHe who laughs bestFri Jun 01 1990 17:105
    	If this continues, I'll be forced to do whirly-twirlies! Please,
    I...I don't want to do whirly-twirlies, I... I ... I can't bear it any
    longer! No...no... it's okay. whew.
