Return to optimism
Witness:
- I know it could be construed as pouring salt on the wounds, but I find it consoling that the Flames are even more inept against the rest of the league than are the Oilers. Man, without us Calgary has only a single win - against Columbus. I love how pathetic that is.
- Matt seems to think it is a bad time for the Oilers to go on an extended road trip. I actually think it is the perfect time. There's nothing like hotel food to bring a team together, and perhaps this will give them a chance to bond/get their stuff together away from the glare of the home crowd.
- Iginla is now 9 games in with only 2 goals. It's okay though, he is a slow starter and at least he is doing the little things well - like his 2 giveaways, 0 blocked shots, and 44% faceoff wins last night.
- Dallas got blown out 7-2 vs LA and came back to win last night. Sound familiar? It will after Tuesday.
- Dvorak has started to look great out there. I'm predicting a great road trip for him.
- As bad as Edmonton has been, there are 4 other teams in our conference with the same number of points (Colorado, Phoenix, Calgary, San Jose) and another 4 teams with fewer points.
Comments:
It is true the BOA is now which team actually sucks more. Since the Flames were hyped to be the class of Alberta and the west I think their start is more frightnening. Although the smell that eminated from Rexall on Friday reached Calgary. Both teams have to get back to the basics, crash the net, and skate. Is it me or do the Flames have no set plays? They are going ride Kipper until there is nothing left. If he goes down I would really not like to be Sutter no depth in goal... but better than Edmonton's gong show in net. Oh just for the record MacT bag skated the Oilers on Saturday... maybe that will wake them up...
