Game three at Rexall Place was a wild affair that featured three fights, two by Georges Laraque and Fedorik, 9 goals, 8 in the third, and another Oiler win. That is 7 straight now. The Oilers are one win away from the Stanley Cup final. Unbelievable. I never would have thought that this team had it in them. They just keep getting better every game. Mike Peca had just picked his game up and taken this team on his back. I am slowly coming around to believing that this team could go all the way.
With this team going deeper and deeper into the playoffs more and more media shows up at the rink. At the beginning of the season some days it was just me, Jordi, Cory, Gene, and a few fish hacks. Now there is at least 5 cameras every day, at the most 10, and tons fo fish hacks and national mic monkeys.
We had three production trucks in here for these games and I hear there will be four next round. Bettman was here also last game. He got soundly booed by the fans at Rexall Place. I love that when it happens. It is getting crowded.
Our live hits have been going well. The IFB gods have been looking down kindly on us. As you can see here it is getting crowded, that is the CBC truck behind us, and Sportsnet to the right of us. The only consolation is that the local stations in Anaheim have not followed their team. Last night there was a guy going around and checking frequencies of our wireless mics so they can make sure that no one walks on each other. There is so much that goes into this that we will never know.
