The Stanley Cup Final - Final Series.
 
	Now that one of the particpants is known (Oilers), it is time
to speculate.

	Heretofore I was an infidel, bemoaning the lack of defence in
the Oilers repetoire. However, after seeing the Oilers totally
dominate their playoff oponents I must change my opinion.
More impressive than their undisputable goal-scoring prowess was
their disciplined defensive play. Defensive play that wins
play-off games!
 
	I am assuming that the Islanders will be the Oilers opponents and I
predict that the Oilers will win. Reason: The disciplined defensive
play of the Oilers is almost - if not as good - as that of the
Islanders. I call it a tie. The difference lies in the offence.
Despite Bossy and Trottier, I think the Oilers have an overwhelming
advantage in offensive play. Intangible: The Oilers are *HUNGRY*.
