EDMONTON — The province of Alberta could have a Stanley Cup finalist for the second NHL season in a row.
The Edmonton Oilers moved within one win of reaching the Stanley Cup final last night, with a 5-4 win over the Anaheim Mighty Ducks.
The Oilers now lead the best-of-seven series three games to none.
Fernando Pisani scored the winning goal, his team-leading ninth of the playoffs, as Edmonton weathered a third-period Ducks' scoring flurry to hang on for the win.
Goalie Dwayne Roloson stood out again, making 34 saves.
The Oilers will have the chance to wrap up the series at home on Thursday.
Only two NHL teams have ever come back from a 3-0 playoff deficit -- the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs and the 1975 New York Islanders.
The Calgary Flames represented Alberta in the Stanley Cup final in 2003-04, the year before the lockout, but lost in seven games to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
It's been 13 years since a Canadian team last won the cup.
The Montreal Canadiens won the NHL championship in the 1992-93 season.

This whole thing is going to be a long, painful and bumpy ride. Unfortunately, no one will learn their lesson when this is over and we will be in the same perdicament 50 years from now. Most of the lessons from the Great Depression were not learned.
