I can't believe that most Americans don't care about the NHL.
This is so fucking great!
What a shame.
Looks like the coin Smyth uncovered from center ice worked in their favor. Hilarious.

Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Smyth made a discovery at centre ice at the RBC Center after the team's morning skate on Wednesday.
''I don't know what it was, obviously it was a coin,'' Smyth told reporters. ''I guess it was an American loonie or an American dollar. I don't know if it was good luck for them or what, but it wasn't in very deep so I was scared the boys were going to trip over it. So ... got it out.''
It is not known how long the coin had been under the ice, but after the Oilers left the Zamboni driver went onto the ice with a drill and buried another one.
Cory Stillman, who coughed up the puck to give Fernando Pisani his overtime breakaway, was one of the first to face the media horde.Originally posted by POJO_Risin
What a shitty as fucking pass...what the fuck was that...
"We had chances," he said of the manner in which the game unfolded. "We were coming. We had a chance and I screwed it up."
"They always come hard if they think they've got a chance to get to the puck," he said.
"It was a big mistake. I know better."

Yes, he coughed up the puck, but look at the replay again...
The defender tapped Stillman's stick, forcing it to be much softer than it would have been...

Weight is out for game 6...

I think Carolina is the better team...but has their luck ran out?
Remember, they were looking done when the Habs captain Koivu was knocked out of the playoffs (and maybe his career) with a non-call high stick.
Buffalo was decimated with injuries and obviously would have been stronger with even a few of their injured. That series could have gone much differently.
And now, having a good run of injury-free playoffs, Pisani's hits are taking their toll and now Weight is gone, as is Ward.
Interesting turn of events
It's the coin
It's easy to forget they are up 3-2...but we'll see...
I'd like to see Brind'amour score a couple and win it next game.
I can't root for the Oil after hating on them all year.
I think we'll see a different team from Carolina...Edmonton has some swag right now...but I guarantee you right now that Carolina's looking to put it away in Edmonton...
if anything else...they'll come into Edmonton pissed as all get out...
I actually wouldn't be surprised if Carolina wins by a large margin...
4-1..something like that...
Remember Edmonton had alot of rest before the Finals started...
Is it a factor?
I don't think I can take a whole year of "Stanley Cup Champions the Edmonton Oilers"
Yo Poj, it's a no-go for me and the youngin' for Monday, if the Oilers win...
He made the All-Star team, and they've got practices every day for the next two weeks, including a two-a-day today....
OH shit...I got the wife to put off the vacation...lmfao....should have checked it out...
No worries..I may be watching a parade...
Holy fuck...
Erik Cole is dressed..and skating...
ole #26...
things just got interesting...
by far and away...IMO...the best Cane...
Wow...no doubt....we got some fucking sparks brewin' right now...
He's been practicing with the team since Montreal...and it appears as though the Dr.'s have cleared him to play...
but Laviollete is being very coy right now...gametime decision...
at the very least...having him out there with the team will be a big lift...playing or not...
they've got to come out focused...and get the lead...
I'm predicting a 4-2 or 5-3 score...Canes win the cup...tonight...
Wow...fucking a...never expected Cole to come back...
this is the last game for the Oilers either way...so it will be loud to start...
Wow...they announced they were planning for a parade next week...no doubt publicized by the Canes...in the locker room...
Cole IS fast...Cole IS quick...
COLE CAN HIT...
wow...
I have to admit them singing the anthems are cool as hell...
Damn...
of course...all the Canes are singing it too...
Here we go...game six...good luck to all the Oiler fans...
nothing better than this...
Carolina power play...
damn...Edmonton has been pretty good on faceoffs...
1 minute to go in the power play...
Cole just got fucked up...probably good for him...
now Cole lost the puck...damn...he's looking shitty...
lmfao...so much for the good luck...
his timing is way off...
Uh-oh...
2-0 Oilers....
Not over by a longshot though....
I'm gonna be JAZZED if this goes 7 games....
GRATE series.....

Yeah it pretty much is, the Oilers seem to want it more.....Originally posted by Va Beach VH Fan

OMG, what a save....
Make it 3-0.....
Get ready for Game 7 boys.....
What a goal, the Canes are cooked....
Best play of the game was Ward's save on the 3 on 1. How did he save that?
I am starting to think the Oil will win, because of the rest they had after the Conference Finals.
Pronger has to be Conn Smythe if the Oil win.
I wonder where Smyth put that coin he scraped out of the Carolina ice:eek:
Damn, Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals is 200 miles away...
At the very minimum, my son and I would've headed down there Monday afternoon, spent some time again with our buddy Mr. Risin, and headed to the RBC Center reveling in the tailgate activitites outside the arena...
If we got lucky, Poj's friends would be out of town and their tickets (very good seats, BTW) would fall into our hands...
Who knows, Poj may still get lucky, I hope so.... [[ Yo dude, grab me a program, I collect them... ]]
My son is disappointed we can't go, he's got All-Star practice for two weeks straight before the tourneys start, and they've got a pretty talented team... Don't know if it's Williamsport-quality (he's 12), but they've got a couple of flame throwers...
But he also knows he needs to make a statement these two weeks, 'cause he's one of only a couple of 1st timer All-Stars on that team...
He did hit one out of the park in practice yesterday, and some other frozen ropes, it was interesting to see the coaches, who've never coached him before, raise their eyebrows....
Anyway, I'll just have to hope that the Penguins will be in that same position in the coming years....
This is just what Hockey needed...a grate series with huge plays on both sides...
I'm sure they were bummed when the 'Canes and Oilers made the finals...probably thought it would be a quick series with the viewers....
BEST FINALS IN YEARS
Well...Edmonton fucking laid one on Carolina last night...
I cannot believe how much time Cole played last night...had to be over 20 minutes...he made a lot of mistakes...couldn't hold the puck on his stick...but was in the mix with hits...
I can't wait for game 7...I'll be there...outside the arena...
I know the Weaver's are at the beach...in Hilton head...or...the Outer Banks...if I were them...I'd be in the car coming home right now...we shall see...
My god...that fucking save by fucking Ward was incredible...
This kid has superstar written all over him...
Carolina has a great pipeline as well...good young kids coming up...we shall see...
but the Canes are here to stay...
Oh Va...new development...our resident Denmark Ambassador is in town...yes...the former President and CEO of the Canes...I called his cell phone to say welcome back...
and am praying he calls back...and I can work him into something special...maybe he'll be in a box on Monday...
of course...I'll be willing to bet he's gotten a few calls...
I hope you get in you bastard, and pls hook me up with that program if you do....
I was listening to XM 204 today for a while...
Lots of talk about Cole's return...
Most of them said it was a move that backfired...
I for one think it was a smart play...
The Canes had two games to win only one...
If your plan is to get Cole back in the lineup, then get him in Game 6, get the rust out, then have him sharper in Game 7 if need be...
I think the crowd will initially go apeshit seeing him on the ice... Maybe not as much as if he first stepped on the ice in Raleigh, but it still should be a good boost...
The Canes need to be a helluva lot more aggressive in Game 7... Get a helluva lot more shots on goal...
That's the thing...they looked like the team in Montreal that was looking for the extra pass...
I don't think you'll see that again...
I'm curious to see Pronger as well...he spend a lot of time on the ice...
Well...as far as Cole goes...his timing WITH the puck was off tremendously...but...
he was great without the puck...in the first 5 minutes...he had to opportunities with the puck where he had a shot that 9 times out of ten...he gets it to the net...
they gotta quit leaving Ward out to dry...
and don't worry Va...if I'm at the game...I'll call your ass so you can hear some of it...lmfao...
Cole did look strong...took some big hits too.
No free passes in the Stanley Cup Finals, concussion or not
If he can help them in game 7...what a story.
I think that's going to be my favourite memory from these playoffs. I have to admit, I am going to miss the classy folk of Edmonton when I move next week. They are really incredible!Originally posted by POJO_Risin

What an incredible good-bye gift from the Oilers, though. Even if we don't win tonight (which we will), it's been one hell of a run, and the best Stanley Cup Playoffs in YEARS!
However, NEVER discount the Oil... Joey Moss needs another ring.
LET'S GO OILERS!!!! (See ya at the parade )

Kaberle with the slapshot, and off of the defender....
2-0 Canes....
Should be 3-0 after that disputed call....
No, there was no evidence to award a goal, whatsoever...5 different angles showed nothing
No, no...
Did you see the replay that was produced in the NBC truck after the 2nd period had started ?? They said it took about 15 minutes to produce...
After Staios had fallen, the puck squirted under his stomach and was clearly over the red line, by about an inch I'd say...
It wasn't part of the initial replays at the end of the period....
