The Oilers finished 15 points ahead of the Islanders. If the NHL wanted to fuck the Islanders out of the Cup, then why did the Islanders get to open the series at home?
Before this game, Oilers fans still had the fear that all the offensive firepower may still end up getting stopped cold by Billy Smith. Mark Messier's goal, and the subsequent eruption, was just what the Oilers needed for the confidence to finally beat the Islanders.
The league "fucked" the Islanders out of the cup? They lost Games 3, 4 and 5 by a combined score of 19-6. And it's been over for the Islanders ever since. Cry more.
The league fucked the Islanders out of what would have been there 5th straight Stanley Cup with that bullshit 2-2-1-1-1 format.
There was no reason to "all of the sudden," change the format when it was the finals. The league gave a laughable reason "cost." Who the f cares about cost at this point, it was the biggest lie and they have never wanted to talk about it since.
The league did what it had to do to protect the Les Canadiens record.
