The last time the Oilers made it this far, the Soviet Union was decaying, Saddam was getting all ready to invade Kuwait, the world was mourning the death of Sammy Davis Jr. and Jim Henson, all the kids were listening to MC Hammer and New Kids on the Block, people tuned into Twin Peaks to find they had absolutely no idea what was going on, and Lucien Bouchard had just formed the Bloc Quebecois.
We started getting drunk at 4:30 at Boston Pizza and stayed there for the duration of the game. I have to say it wasn't looking very good at the end when the Ducks got there 6-on-3 power play, but somehow the Oilers managed to hold on to win. Then we went rioting down Whyte Ave., and I was quite impressed that the police closed it off to vehicle traffic. It was really quite something, but there were too many people doing the forbidden "We want the ____" chant. Hopefully, the hockey gods weren't listening.
Starting Monday: In honour of the Oilers 7th trip to the Stanley Cup Finals, I will be putting up the top 10 Oilers moments of all time.
