The Old Man and the C
One thing we can agree on about the Edmonton Oilers: when they are good enough to make a SCF, they are strong, strong, strong at center ice. When the club was winning Stanley's in the 1980s and 1990, center was the domain of 99, 11 and several other top quality men of varying skills...
