What happens
The Boys on the Bus is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Bob McKeown and released in 1987. The film is a portrait of the Edmonton Oilers in their late 1980s NHL playoff runs, featuring both on-ice footage and a behind the scenes portrait of the team members. The film was originally shot during the 1985-86 NHL season; however, after the Oilers were eliminated from the 1986 Stanley Cup playoffs by the Calgary Flames in the division finals, McKeown opted to return during the 1986-87 NHL season to shoot additional material, culminating in the Oilers winning the 1987 Stanley Cup Finals. The film premiered theatrically in Edmonton on October 19, 1987, and had a further theatrical run, before being broadcast on CBC Television on May 17, 1988 at the outset of the team's return to the 1988 Stanley Cup Finals.
