Oilers Lose
Posted on June 7th, 2006 by
The kid looks like he’s done it all before. So do the Carolina Hurricanes, halfway home to their first Stanley Cup championship after a dominating performance on Tobacco Road.
Cam Ward became the first rookie in 20 years to post a shutout in the finals and the Hurricanes swept away Edmonton 5-0 in Game 2 Wednesday night, the Oilers looking downright miserable without playoff star Dwayne Roloson.
Carolina is up 2-0 in the series and off to Alberta, hoping to finish the job against a staggering team. Game 3 is Saturday night in Edmonton. #
Haven’t been following the NHL playoffs too intently since the Flames got knocked out in the first round but I tuned into this matchup earlier tonight. With Roloson out with an injury the Hurricanes scored 5 times while Cam Ward became the first rookie to record a shutout during the finals. Yup. It’ll be an absolute miracle if the Oilers don’t get swept.
