What a game, by the way. I'm glad I came out of my cold-coma for that one. Now back to the Nyquil and the fevered dreams that San Pisani speaks to me in.
Maybe more of a disciple, like those guys around the last supper table. Hmmm...I wonder which one Andy would be???
Anyways, Oilers Nation is posting that our chances of getting into the playoffs have risen to 10% or so. Something like 8 and 2 might get us in. Might be worth a countdown clock or something.
All joking aside, you're probably right. But you know what? Just the fact that it's theoretically possible this late in the year is a victory in itself. Nobody would have predicted this at the beginning of the season.
Say what you want about MacT, but personally I'm starting to think he's a pretty fair coach.

I did, actually. Damned if I can find which post it was now (I've searched three blogs and the closest I've got is this from six games in), but I definitely called this. (I seem to recall likening it to last year's Avs.)
"Why? Because he's coached his team into a bunch of shootout victories?"
He's made the best of a much less than perfect situation. I think that says alot. There's a very astute poster around here by the name of Bruce that would be able to put it better than I ever could. But to answer your question in a word, yes. Sorry if that violates your original six canon, but the new rules are the same for everybody. Some coaches play them better than others. In this case, we have a coach who has been able to work his team far higher up the standings than they probably should be. However he's done it is fine by me.
Regardless, I'm enjoying this team far more than I (and most others) thought I would this year. Heck, the word "toilet" was tossed around here quite a bit in September, and things are far from that initial assessment.
You got it.. Grabs anymore soothsaying?
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteOf course you guys are soulmates so its no surprise you could feel it.
Well, I don't want to brag, but I have been carrying his child for two years now.

ReplyDeleteBetter get some rest - your uterus is probably ready to fall out.
ReplyDeleteAndy, I need March Madness picks. Get on it.
ReplyDeletelike i have said before. the best thing in hockey is a Sharks lost. Too bad they got the loser point. Thanks, Oil.
ReplyDeletehaha that is a beauty pic, Andy.
ReplyDeleteStaples credits you for the win in his blog today. I wonder if you are indeed the true Hockey Jesus.
ReplyDeleteIt's all San Pisani. I merely spread the word of his miraculous deeds.
ReplyDeleteSo there is no god but Pisani and Grabia is the prophet of Pisani?

ReplyDeleteScoff. I'm sorry, but there is no way this team makes it into the playoffs.
