[net.sport.hockey] EDMONTON OILERS "STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS"

jmd@rduxb.UUCP (Joseph M. Dakes, AT&T Bell Labs, Reading, Pa.) (05/31/85)

Edmonton crushed Philadelphia last night 8-3 to retain the Stanley Cup.
I wasn't surprised by Edmonton's offensive outbursts; I knew they had
the firepower (all in all the Flyers did a good job on them) but, what 
did surprise me was the way the Oilers played defense.  After the first
game they adjusted to the Flyers style and even gave Philly a taste of
their own medicine.  That's the sign of a great team - being able to 
adjust and doing what they have to to win.  Congrats to Edmonton on
winning the Cup, again, and congratulations to the Flyers on one hell of
a year.

Here's to looking forward to a rematch next year.
