Why Orelvis Martinez will bring positive vibe to Blue Jays and fans
Blair and Barker discussion on the Blue Jays promoting top hitting prospect Orelvis Martinez, what role they expect him to play, why this should be a performance driven move, meaning he stays up as long as he’s playing and giving quality at bats.
It might be safe to say that the Oilers have found their usual goal-scoring touch.
Since the 14:48 mark of the first period in Game 4, the Edmonton Oilers have been on an absurdly hot streak, hotter than the legendary teams of the 1980s have ever been, breaking a franchise record for unanswered goals with nine.
Their 8-1 beatdown of the Florida Panthers surely contributed most of the fuel to that fire with six unanswered, but to open up Game 5, Edmonton stayed in that rhythm, potting three unanswered to establish a solid lead through the second period.

And who but Connor McDavid to break the record, threading the needle to beat an unusually off-his-game Sergei Bobrovsky from a tight angle.
With that goal, the Oilers captain also reached the 40-point mark this post-season, joining Wayne Gretzky (1985, 1988, 1993) and Mario Lemieux (1991) as the only players to reach that threshold.
The 1980s Oilers, who won four Stanley Cups in the decade under the ever-so-productive guidance of ‘The Great One’, held the record for eight unanswered goals in the 1984 Stanley Cup Final en route to beating the New York Islanders in five games.
They accomplished the feat by scoring six unanswered in Game 3 then adding two more in Game 4.
