6 Here We Go, Oilers!

Chapter 6 Here We Go, Oilers! The Oilers were a team to watch. In the next season's playoffs, they beat the Montreal Canadiens, winner of twenty-two championship titles at that time. In baseball's World Series, the winning team gets their own Commissioner's Trophy. In the NHL, every team shares one trophy: the Stanley Cup. Each year, it's passed on to the new winners. In the first game of the season's playoffs, Wayne got five assists. A playoff record! He led his team to sweep the series. It's still one of the biggest upsets in hockey history. The Oilers went on to face the defending champions, the New York Islanders. Wayne and his teammates were excited. The entire team sat on the bench and chanted like fans, "Here we go, Oilers. Here we go."

第六章加油工人，加油！油人队是一支值得观看的球队。 在下一个赛季的季后赛中，他们击败了蒙特利尔加拿大人队，当时他们获得了22个总冠军。 在棒球世界大赛中，获胜的球队会得到自己的总裁奖杯。 在NHL，每支球队共享一个奖杯：斯坦利杯。 每年，这个奖项都会传给新的获奖者。 在本赛季季后赛的第一场比赛中，韦恩得到了5次助攻。 季后赛纪录！他带领球队横扫了整个系列赛。 这仍然是曲棍球历史上最大的意外之一。 油人队继续迎战卫冕冠军纽约岛人队。 韦恩和他的队友们都很兴奋。 全队队员坐在板凳上，像球迷一样高喊：“加油，加油人。” 我们开始吧。”

They lost. The Stanley Cup went to the Islanders. But the Oilers had proved themselves. Each season, teams play about eighty games. In 1981–1982, Wayne dominated almost every one he was in. He broke record after record. Goals. Assists. Scoring streaks. THE STANLEY CUP

他们输了。斯坦利杯被岛民队夺得。 但油人已经证明了自己。 每个赛季，球队要打80场比赛。 在1981-1982年间，韦恩几乎统治了他参与的每一场比赛。 他打破了一个又一个纪录。 的目标。次助攻。得分条纹。 斯坦利杯

THE NHL TROPHY IS NAMED FOR FREDERICK ARTHUR STANLEY, AN ENGLISH LORD. LORD STANLEY CAME TO CANADA AS GOVERNOR GENERAL AND QUICKLY BECAME A HOCKEY FAN. IN 1892, HE BOUGHT A PUNCH BOWL FOR FIFTY DOLLARS, AND GAVE IT TO THE TOP AMATEUR HOCKEY TEAM. LATER IT WAS AWARDED TO PRO TEAMS, FINALLY SERVING AS THE NHL PRIZE. ALL WINNING PLAYERS, COACHES, OWNERS, AND STAFF MEMBERS ARE LISTED ON THE CUP, WHICH WAS REMADE IN 1958. WHEN THE TROPHY RUNS OUT OF SPACE, THE OLDEST TEAM IS TAKEN OFF. MISTAKES HAVE BEEN MADE: CANADIENS GOALIE JACQUES PLANTE WON THE CUP FIVE TIMES, AND EACH TIME HIS NAME WAS SPELLED DIFFERENTLY. EVERY TEAM MEMBER GETS TO KEEP THE CUP FOR A DAY. IT'S BEEN TO RESTAURANTS, HOMES, STADIUMS, EVEN IN A SWIMMING POOL WITH HOCKEY GREAT MARIO LEMIEUX. THE STANLEY CUP IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER PRO-LEAGUE TROPHY. The area behind the net was nicknamed "Gretzky's office." No other player used the space like Wayne. He would wait there patiently, holding the puck. When he saw the right pass? Bang—he slid the puck to a teammate for a goal.

NHL奖杯是以英国贵族弗雷德里克·阿瑟·斯坦利的名字命名的。 斯坦利勋爵以总督的身份来到加拿大，很快就成为了一名曲棍球迷。 1892年，他花50美元买了一个潘趣酒碗，送给了顶级业余曲棍球队。 后来它被授予职业球队，最终成为NHL的奖品。 所有获胜的球员、教练、老板和工作人员都被列在1958年重新制作的奖杯上。 当奖杯没有空间时，年龄最大的球队将被淘汰。 错误已经出现：加拿大守门员雅克·普兰特（Jacques plante）五次赢得世界杯，但每次他的名字都被拼错了。 每个团队成员都可以保留杯子一天。 它去过餐馆、家庭、体育场，甚至和冰球巨星马里奥·勒米厄在游泳池里。 斯坦利杯不同于其他职业联赛的奖杯。 网后的区域被戏称为“格雷茨基的办公室”。 没有其他球员像韦恩那样利用这个空间。 他会耐心地等在那里，手里拿着冰球。 当他看到正确的传球时？ “砰”的一声，他把冰球传给队友得分。

Or he banked it off the goalie, or the net, or the boards, to score. Magazines called him the best player in the NHL. He starred in commercials for soda and sportswear. Over the years, his fame grew. He had his own cereal and his own doll. He appeared on talk shows, a soap opera, and other TV programs. By 1991, there was even a cartoon series with "Wayne Gretzky." But after three seasons in the NHL, his team had yet to win the Stanley Cup.

或者他把球从守门员、球网或板子上顶下来得分。 杂志称他为NHL中最好的球员。 他在汽水和运动服的广告中担任主角。 多年来，他的名气越来越大。 他有自己的麦片和洋娃娃。 他出现在谈话节目、肥皂剧和其他电视节目中。 到1991年，甚至出现了“韦恩·格雷茨基”的卡通系列。 但在NHL打了三个赛季后，他的球队还没有赢得斯坦利杯。
