Josh Manson doesn’t remember much, if anything, about the Edmonton Oilers when his father, Dave, played for them.
Josh wasn't older than 3, and his boyhood memories are vaguely tinted Oilers’ orange and blue.
“I know there’s a lot of old Edmonton jerseys sitting around our house somewhere,” Josh Manson said. “I don’t know if I’ll be wearing them, especially not lately. Maybe growing up I would have saw them and throw them on, but I think every little kid does that.”
Manson, a Ducks defenseman, will get to see his parents and friends who made the seven-hour drive from Prince Albert, Canada, but that’s the extent of sentimentality the Ducks have as their second-round playoff series against the Oilers shifts to Edmonton starting with Game 3 on Sunday.
