Wayne Gretzky gives his prediction for Oilers vs Stars Conference Final
Gretzky was watching the final game of the Stars and Jets series, and entered the Dallas locker room to congratulate the team after their win - and make his conference final prediction.
Wayne Gretzky makes his conference final prediction in Dallas Stars locker room
Gretzky is a good sport, and was happy to congratulate the Stars on their series win and wish them luck in the next round. When they actually asked him who he thought will win though, Gretzky refused to answer.
GRETZKY: Congratulations! It's the greatest game in the world, and now you're going to go up against one of the greatest teams ever - Edmonton. I wish you good luck.
OTHER: Who you cheering for?
GRETZKY: Hey, can we enjoy the night tonight? God bless, good luck guys.
Gretzky was hiding his answer of cheering for Edmonton in the conference final, as he openly has been all through the last two years of playoff runs and more.
Gretzky still sticking by picking Edmonton Oilers as Stanley Cup champs
At the beginning of this year's playoffs, even when there was so much doubt about the Oilers with injuries and goaltending, Gretzky stood by his pick for the Edmonton Oilers to win the Stanley Cup this season - and cited the greatness of McDavid as the main reason why.
PAUL BISSONETTE: I want Wayne to sell me on the Oilers. Why should I stick with that pick?
WAYNE GRETZKY: Let me think, 97. How hard was that?
It's great to see the Great One still taking an active role in the NHL and passing on his knowledge to the next generation. If there's one lesson in his constant faith of an Oilers Cup win this year, it's to never doubt true greatness like that of McDavid and Draisaitl.
