(By the way, no Wes McCauley in either the conference or Stanley Cup finals? First time that’s happened since 2011. Discuss amongst yourselves.)
But the one thing every hockey fan hopes is that the Edmonton Oilers deadliness on the power play ‘how’ the games are called. You don’t want to give the Oilers ‘too many’ power plays. But you do want to give them exactly how many they earn and deserve. No more, no fewer.
That’s how it’s called in every other sport and we can only hope that’s how it’s called in this final.
Here’s hoping. And here’s more:
