Jackets in three. Fuck the Pens.

Chicago will become the first team in NHL history to go 16-0 in the playoffs this year!

No chance

16-1 maybe now?

And that's where it can stop with 1980s Edmonton Oilers players having their numbers retired and being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. The rest of the players from the team don't have the stats to warrant retired numbers and induction. People tend to forget that it was Andy Moog and not Grant Fuhr who was in nets for the Edmonton Oilers first Stanley Cup win.
