Sounds good.๐Ÿ‘ I have had installed a patio out back themed “Cuban”, with real palm trees, and for our added pleasure white sand a pool, which, btw, has a special ability to know when one of our guests doesn’t make it to the restroom and cool sprinkling water for the really hot days for those who don’t like to swim. Please note the sign by the pool reading, “bathing suits optional”.๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ‘
That might attract some more guests, especially those who have never been to Cuba. ๐Ÿ™‚

Can you believe this Team was in 32nd spot back in October I believe it was and fired their coach and have the present one now. A Hollywood Movie if they go on to win the Stanley Cup. No matter what It still would be a hell of a story.

UNBELIEVEABLE!!!! If I hadn't seen every game I wouldn't believe it. They Interviewed Wayne Gretzky arguably the best player of all time ...[text shortened]... back from being behind 3-0 and winning 4 straight were the Toronto Maple Leaf's back in 1942.

Thank You my friend! I don't know how big a Hockey fan stees is but it sure would be nice to see the Stanley Cup come back to Canada after 31 years!!!

Here is the ironic part of it, Florida actually has more Canadian players on their Team than Edmonton have on theirs. Of course McDavid is on a higher skill level than anyone and arguably the best player in the world right now. That is coming from Wayne Gretzky.

I WAS a big fan of hockey (Les Canadiens) but after I stopped playing hockey, about 7 years ago due to two things, age and “injuries” (mostly age) I kinda lost my enthusiasm. I do however now, like most sports, watch the playoffs…well except basketball๐Ÿ˜ฒ Go Oilers Go.๐Ÿ‘

Great Stees!!! It will be a Movie Script ending if they win the Cup this year starting out in 32nd spot last in the NHL, firing their Coach hiring the present one and what a ride they been on climbing all the way back to the top. Let's hope McDavid is doing McDavid stuff tonight! ๐Ÿ™‚ We need Skinner at the Top of his game too. At this point both Teams running on adrenalin, and who knows how many injuries as that is kept quiet until after it is all over.

They, the Oilers, certainly made a BIG comeback. Here’s hoping it didn’t end after the last game.๐Ÿคž Oh wait, I almost forgot๐Ÿ˜ฒ…glass half full. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜

The BIG thing is when they were down 3-0 they just took it one game at a time, with nothing to lose and everything to gain. If not for McDavid I say they aren't where they are. I know it takes a whole Team but McDavid like Gretzky is one of those players that only come along once in a Generation. Mind you he has a great supporting cast with him and as I said Skinner must be at the Top of his game again tonight. I'd say last game was more a Team win, with everyone contributing.

As we know I could go on and on, but I will leave it there. ๐Ÿ™‚ Go Oils Go!!!

Hey,
It isn't like it wasn't very close and what a come back story from 32nd in the NHL a new coach and finishing playing for the Stanley Cup. I don't think we've heard the last of these Oilers. Florida I would say played their best game of the season. 1 goal 1 shot and everything could have turned out differently. The Florida Panthers deserve a lot of credit for their year. As you said look out for next year. Last year Florida was in a similar position as the Oilers this year.

Florida, actually had more Canadians on their Team than Edmonton did!!! Difference maker? ๐Ÿ™‚

A most epic and tremendous effort by Oilers, and it all fell just one goal short.
Rusty, I looked up that Connor McDavid of Edmonton, and yes, he is #1 by a mile.

I also saw that your neighbor, Sid Crosby is still playing. Have you seen him in the offseason?
