oil rush

Win, Win: Edmonton’s Oilers celebrate during their 3-1 Forum win over the Montreal Canadiens in the second game of their 1981 preliminary-round series in April of that year that saw the upstart  Oilers dismiss Montreal in three straight games. That’s defenceman Kevin Lowe and goaltender Gary Edwards, back-up to Andy Moog. Edmonton bowed out in the next round, falling to the eventual champions, the New York Islanders.
