the former home of gretzky and a very goodfranchise; they won 5 (i believe) cups during the '80s with gretzky and messier; have been good recently, but missed the playoffs this year
-Being the last team in the western conference to make it to the playoffs.
-Eliminating the #1 ranked team in all of the nhl in the first round.
-Losing in a series 3-0 and then coming back to defeat the same team 4-3 to advance to the stanley cup finals. Then finishing the second round of the playoffs in victory over San Jose in the last min. of the third overtime.
-Winning the series against anaheim 4-0. Not to mention they were facing the #1 ranked goalie besides their really good goalie, Roloson.
The best team in the NHL. Much better than their southern counterparts, the Calgary Flames. Loses players such as Pronger because said player can't control his hormones. Won 5 Stanley Cups and had a very successful 05/06 playoff run.
Person 1: I'm going to go see the Edmonton Oilers game this weekend
Person 2: That's awesome! We're going to kick the Flamers collective asses!
the team with the most passion while playing, have the most passionate fans, the best ice, 5 stanley cups, wayne gretsky, mark messier, ryan smyth, the best team ever, better than calgary, and is in the best city in the world!!!!!!!!!!!
