Oilers @ Bruins: 1988, 1990 say "Hi"

Bruinsnewlogosmall_medium_medium

 

 

 Stanley Cup of Chowder

Star-divide

 

The Bruins are inconsistent.  But this guy says the Oilers are an easy "W".

So much anger, so little clarity.  It's like a night in Calgary.

Blame Derek Morris?

Clearly, she's not from Boston.

At least the Bruins lead the Northeast in something.

And here I thought that only soft euros came down with this.

So, when the team stinks -- blame the soft euro.  The coach blames him too.   He must've given it to Thornton.

This guy still has that Thornton injury.  Apparently, it's been lingering for 19 years.

1988, 1990

Funny thing was the Bruins absolutely owned the Oilers in the 80s. Pwn3d them, even. Steve Kasper used to attach like Velcro to Wayne Gretzky, holding and interference rules were apparently suspended, and the games would be deadly dull. The Bruins usually won in Edmonton and ALWAYS won in the Boston Garden. In the regular season, that is.

Come the playoffs, though, different story. The two could only meet in the Finals, thankfully, and when they did it was the Oilers doing the owning, to the tune of 8 wins, 1 loss, 1 “tie”. (Game 4 of 1988 was truncated due to a power failure in decrepit “Gahden” … the rats probably chewed through a cable). Oilers were undefeated in Boston, going 4-0-1 over those two series including 3 wins in 1990. Among those were “the Petr Klima game” in Game 1 followed by a 3-goal-2-assist masterpiece by Jari Kurri in his last series as an Oiler. The hat trick temporarily put Kurri ahead of Wayne Gretzky and made him the top goal scorer in Stanley Cup history with, somewhat ironically, 92 goals.

I have a swimming lesson and an out-of-town Halloween party, so I’ll be taking a miss. Seriously, who the hell plays an 11 AM game? Jackasses.

Me, I hate the Bruins because of who my #2 team is. ’Nuff said.
