Oilers Game Day - Vancouver
 |  |
| Season Record: 14-11-1 | Season Record: 16-8-2 |
- This is actually a big game. A win would considerably tighten up the Northwest division.
- Given Mac-T's new goalie philosophy of "ride them until they explode", Jussi probably gets the start.
- Edmonton - Vancouver tilts have been terrific for the last two years. I expect the same tonight.
- It is tough to imagine a more favourable scenario than getting Vancouver on a back-to-back on the road. The Oil needs to take advantage of this.
- Prediction: 4-3 Oil: Peca, D-vo(2), Smyth, Reasoner

An Oilers nickname glossary:
D-Vo = Dvorak
Smytty = Smyth
Prongs = Pronger
Horc = Horcoff
Hemmer = Hemsky
George = Georges Laraque
Raffi = Raffi Torres
Where DO these Oilers come up with these things?
I'm still holding out that they're calling Mike Morrison "egghead" or something.
I know - I so want Dvorak to do well.
Hey, Mike, wasn't it you who came up with Le GG?
What about Chopper and Gator - those are pretty good ones.
I'm still holding out hope that they're calling Morrison "Quimby", "Chowdah", "Sully", "Will Hunting", or something.
I had this conversation yesterday, and I think it's entirely possible that Morrison's teammates are constantly telling him things like, "Say 'ask not what your country can do for you', Mike" or "Say 'did you bring the pre-whacked snakes', Mike".
I have been thinking about starting a fan club called "The Sons of Mike Morrison." I think it would do quite well. I also wonder if he has a Dunkin' Donuts sponsorship deal?
His nickname should be simple and telling. Here is one: Harvard.
Here is a great look at the nicknames of all the Edmonton Roadrunners (obviously dated).
"This one time he was trying to bank the puck off the glass, but instead he drilled Joey Moss in the shoulder with it and drew a delay penalty." Yeah, I think that's the perfect thing to inscribe on Cory Cross's grave marker.
