I wasn't surprised by Edmonton's offensive outbursts; I knew they had the firepower (all in all the Flyers did a good job on them) but, what did surprise me was the way the Oilers played defense. After the first game they adjusted to the Flyers style and even gave Philly a taste of their own medicine. That's the sign of a great team - being able to adjust and doing what they have to to win. Congrats to Edmonton on winning the Cup, again, and congratulations to the Flyers on one hell of a year. Here's to looking forward to a rematch next year. Joseph M.
