his Edmonton oilers grabbed a 21 Lead in the National hockey league championship series with a 43 Victory Over the Philadelphia flyers saturday All Gretzky did was score three goals in the first period and help set up the game Winner in the i guess in a Little Blase about Sather but i think inthe finals its one of the Best Hes it was obvious from the Start of the Hes the kind of hockey player who plays from Hes which is what makes him so Gretzky performance gave him 41 playoff breaking his own Stanley cup Mark of set in he also moved into a tie with Stan Mikita for sixth place on the Al time list with who has played in less than half As Many playoff games As most of the is tied with Jean Beliveau for third in assists with but is Only four behind Leader Denis i think i played a Strong hockey he said in typical i get rated on my goals and Gretzky Felt he atoned for not producing More in the two games in which the teams he had one goal in those last i was blanked and i said i want even in the next i got the first goal but that was i Felt Good and had the extra jump it was a very satisfying the Besto seven series continues in Edmonton tues Day and thursday weve won 14 in a Row at were very Strong we like the building and the Gretzky were two wins away from the Stanley cup and can smell Paul whose four assists gave him 22 for the a on season record for a warned that the oilers will have to work we totally outplayed them for the first period and a he they totally outplayed us for the last period and a we got away from our game they didst get to be the 1 team in the league during the season by a to win the Well have to play 60 minutes each we got up 41 and i think we Felt we had it wrapped but weve got two Days to get Back on the right As do the who held the oilers to six shots in the last 40 minutes after allowing 20 in the first Al though Edmonton had Good opportunities on which they shot wide or the flyers must avoid another Early they definitely free wheeled for the first 10 said defens Eman Brad it would have been easy for us to Roll Over and wait for the next game when it was but we showed we have a Good team regardless of the after it was we
