The Stanley Cup Final - Final Series. Now that one of the particpants is known (Oilers), it is time to speculate. Heretofore I was an infidel, bemoaning the lack of defence in the Oilers repetoire. However, after seeing the Oilers totally dominate their playoff oponents I must change my opinion. More impressive than their undisputable goal-scoring prowess was their disciplined defensive play. Defensive play that wins play-off games! I am assuming that the Islanders will be the Oilers opponents and I predict that the Oilers will win. Reason: The disciplined defensive play of the Oilers is almost - if not as good - as that of the Islanders. I call it a tie. The difference lies in the offence. Despite Bossy and Trottier, I think the Oilers have an overwhelming advantage in offensive play. Intangible: The Oilers are *HUNGRY*. Oilers in Six From a Canucks & Bruins Fan: Ed Sadowski
