1985 STANLEY CUP FINALS PREVIEW

There's not much to discuss with the Conference Finals. As shown in the previous post, our Whalers and the opposing Oilers both swept our opponents. The Oilers even have an undefeated playoffs going so far. The game now considers the Islanders my main rival, which is strange considering the only 2 playoff series' between us were one-sided sweeps. I believe it takes PIMs into account quite a lot, and the Islanders are more physical.

Anyway, I've attached some photos showing the Whalers and Oilers points so far in the playoffs, and our lineups. Francis is leading the way with 21 points, while Gretzky has 31 for the Oilers already. He's just on a different level. We'll have to hope that our better depth will help us prevail.

The other worrying thing is that Grant Fuhr comes to the series with maximum hotness, while Mike Liut only has 1 flame. I don't necessarily agree with how the game assigns goalie hotness, and it's very hard to generate if you don't give up a lot of shots.

Whatever happens, we're Prince of Wales champions, and already much more successful than the historical Whalers. Go Hartford!
