Throughout the season while watching games I'd ask Pisani to score. Almost everytime I'd say 'come on Fernando get a goal for me' he'd score. Sometimes right away and sometimes just by the end of the game. I'd also ask (any player) for shorthanded goals... I'd get those less often but every so often after I'd say that I wanted one they would get one. I wouldn't say either of those every game (hello you've got to ask for favors sparingly...). I'd just randomly say it. Well Monday nights game I was asking. I asked for a shorthanded goal and I asked for Fernando to score. After asking I turned to a friend and explained to him that they listen to me. To his funny look I said 'What? They do.... sometimes it just takes a little while' then I explained what would happen throughout the year (I had a friend there that witnessed it a few times). Turns out it did take a little while but Pisani listened and got me my shorthanded goal. In OT! Fernando will now go down in the NHL history books as the first guy to get a shorthanded goal in the Stanley Cup Finals.

The Oilers are still in it with a 4-3 win in overtime. I am so excited. Next game is at home on Saturday. I think Mystic the words you use to describe Carolina can also be used by us. The Oilers are definitely relentless. When you think they've had it they show they haven't. We won't be able to win the cup at home (if we win it... I'm not getting ahead of myself) which is too bad but winning game six will be almost as sweet. Thing is though Carolina will not be easy to beat. They haven't (I could be wrong..) lost two games in a row in the 06 playoffs.
