<< what's this? >> I didn't want to post this article but Rob (Lake) forced me :-). I know I'll get a lot of disagreement on this but I think that the Oilers are getting close to being called the greatest team in NHL history. When one considers their accomplishments, their talent and their flambouyant playing style - if nothing else they be remembered as one of the greatest if not THE greatest. All that remains is for them to win the cup another 3 or 4 years. This is a rather lofty ambition, but then both Peter Pocklington and Glen Sather had set the goal of winning the Stanley Cup within 5 years of entering the NHL - this was also an ambitious task! I suspect that the Flyer fans are somewhat envious but they should take heart in their team since it gone much farther than anyone expected. With any luck the Flyers will be playing for the cup next year. (:-)) P.S. BRING ON THE RUSSIANS!!!! Ken Hruday University of Alberta
