A team from Hate City. Reminds me of last season when the Miami "Heat" and the Florida "Panthers" both made it all the way to the championship series.
The Dallas "Stars" face off in Edmonton at the bottom of the hour. Dallas leads the series 2-1. I'm rooting for the "Oilers" (a name that could work in Hate City as well), not only because they play Dallas. Because they're a former WHA team; because they are the northernmost city of 1M pop in this hemisphere--ju ever look at Edmonton on a map? WAY up there; because no Canada-based team has won the Stanley Cup in like 25 years; because, can you imagine the frequent flier miles between a South Florida team and Edmonton?! That has to be the longest distance possible in the four professional team sports in NA. *It's NOT. Miami to Portland (NBA) is 2,780 straight line flight miles; Sunrise, FL to Edmonton is 2,543.# Never mind. Sunrise to Vancouver (NHL) is 2,783.
