So, I remember the Gretzky years in Edmonton. They sure were exciting times in a new NHL city. At the same time, the Canucks were a team of mediocrity at best and pure crap at worst. (1982 was a mirage for the Canucks as the Kings did the dirty work in getting rid of the Oilers) It would seem that déjà vu has occurred except the savior for the Oilers is named McDavid this time. The Canucks are back to mediocre at best. The opening night for the Oilers went well as they shutout Calgary and McDavid had three goals.
