Oilers Game Day-Canucks
Quick post here. Jussi is in tonight, which is fine by me. A year ago, if you had told me he was drawing in, I'd be counting on one bad goal and an Oilers loss. Now, I'm oddly comforted. The boys will be, too, and get the win. I'm so confident of a good game I'm even going to watch this one.
Here's my question for today: where is Kevin Lowe? When was the last time anyone saw him on the television, or quoted in one of our fine local newspapers? I ask this knowing that I haven't read a newspaper in about five days, and he could be all over them. But I doubt it. How is it that the general manager of the Edmonton Oilers, with its current record, current performance, and current woes in particular areas--thrown in with the insanely high expectations of its fanbase--has been completely incognito for this long? Is he not granting interviews? Is no one requesting them? What, exactly, is the dilly?
Prediction: 4-3, Oilers. San Pisani, Stoll, Smytty and MAB. Donald Brashear will bully Jaromir Jagr, leading to Brendan Shanahan calling him out on the bench. The two will fight, and then Brashear will sucker punch Aaron Ward in the head on his way to the penalty box. Since Brashear isn't Alexander Ovechkin, he'll get a 2-5 game suspension, and we will all have to hear about "the code" for the next six days.
Cassie Campbell and Craig Simpson! Please ask him about the PP. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
No go. Damn. There goes my treat for the night.
GOILERS!

Uh, can I change my mind about that? Jesus. What the hell was MAB thinking?
See, here's the problem - he wasn't.
And where has Hejda been all season? Just wondering.
San Fernando is back, my friend.
Lowe's on CBC After Hours tonight, Andy. I think you should e-mail him with our concerns.
Ah. Thanks for the heads up.
Do the Hot Oil girls have a rule in their drinking game for every time MAB turns the puck over in his own zone? It would be a sure-fire way to get absolutely blitzed tonight. I'm actually laughing out loud watching this game, he's playing so bad. And not angry laughing, either. Real, non-ironic, non-sarcastic laughter. I mean, we are getting manhandled by the Vancouver Canucks. How is that NOT hilarious?
This is just ugly, and MAB is headed to the minors with his play.
Hard to blame Jussi, but way too easy to find fault evrywhere else on the team. Fuck this is depressing...

Somehow Vancouver is finding ways to score lately... I can't explain it myself.
So much for Lowe keeping a low profile, AG.
Is it possible that the Vaunt just aren't a good team?
Make no mistake, this is a good team with a couple of really noticeable warts that is GROSSLY underachieving right now.
Vancouver has 16 goals in their last three games.
Holy shit, is this 2003?
At any rate, it certainly wasn't as ugly as you are making it out to be. I mean, Jacques looked good in his fight...
errr...
I mean, Staois looked good in his fight...
errrr...
Okay, yeah, it was an ugly night. Taylor Pyatt beat up Staios? Pretty boy eyes himself?
Muahahaha!
If it isn't bad enough that we got totally manhandled by my wife's team (she picked the team after we were married, what could I do?), CBC's sound feed cut out while Low was talking about the whole Pronger situation. Fucking CBC.

I'm not gonna lie. At 5-1, I turned off the game, and finished watching Season 1 of The Wire. What happened with Lowe? Did he say anything about addressing needs? Anything about the rumoured Bouwmeester/Horton deal he may or may have not turned down? Is it on YouTube?
I was watching UFC 66 most of the night, but every time I changed the channel to the Oilers/Nucks game, I couldn't help but laugh at the ass-kicking!
Every Vancouver Canuck fan has come out of the woodwork today to comment on the team.
Half of them didn't even know what their record was.
No BOA post wtf, Well I am getting ready to go see this. I want the the Oil to show some heart. I agree with MAB takes please throw him under the bus at the Westin somone someone?

But all of us know it's a better record than the Oilers have.

Guess you guys should start planning the parade route then.
3 points better, Oilers with 2 games
in hand. Yep, it's over, time to concede ultimate defeat to the mighty Vancouver Canucks!
