2000 Eastern Conference Finals, Game 7. The very mention of the game creates an uneasy feeling in the minds of Flyers’ fans.
While the Oilers have fallen on hard times, 'The Kid Line' has been integral in helping the club's poor PP of last year improve immensely. Right now, it is the only successful aspect in Edmonton's game.
Those risks made this organization make the playoffs for 11 consecutive seasons and 12 out of their last 13 before missing last year's postseason.
Nice post. I think that Burke has made up for his bad trades with a few key college signings, like Bozak. But time and time again, teams have shown that developing through the draft could be the best way to go.
Without a doubt Kessel is going to continue to be a sniper in the league, but he isn’t the player you build around. I see him more as a support player that would be relied on as a number #2 guy. If Nazem Kadri can live up to the hype, they could be an explosive duo.
Although, I think it would be a mistake to bring Kadri to the NHL this season, he has been playing with boys in the OHL. He needs a season to get pushed around in the AHL before he makes the jump to the NHL. Dude needs to put on some weight.
