Nordiques move to Denver, win a Stanley Cup! Was a wild time. Then Colorado stayed really good and won another Cup. Spoiled definitely but in a good way. For the most part, ownership puts a good product on the ice, unlike the Rockies.

Nice story about your connection to the Oilers. Especially since you liked Alberta.

Trivia (and I think I am correct): where did Pat Bowlen grow up, work as an attorney, work in real estate development, mining and construction, making him filthy wealthy?

When I was a kid, the Oilers were a superpower. So many great players, including The Great One.

Going to be an intense series. You and I and other Oilers and Avalanche fans should have fun. I hope it goes 7 games. I badly want Colorado to win and you want Edmonton. As along as it's well played, I can deal with the outcome.
