A team that was on the verge of losing popularity and being flushed down the toilet because of struggles, but only to have that be saved by the Great One, good old Wayne. The team basically became the
Edmonton Oilers years after the infamous
Gretzky trade in 1988. In 1993, the team had five players from Edmonton, or more, and went on to the Cup finals.
Ever since, they have been a pretty
fun team to watch, especially with guys like Avery (the dirtiest hockey player on Earth) and Roenick (hilarious man who has starred in sitcoms and gambles off the ice, and did a chicken dance). They have been in and out of the playoffs. Hockey games are continously sold out in L.A., and California for that matter.
