Oilers and Olympic Game Day
I'm already in full Olympic mode, so I have nothing to say about today's Oilers' game except:
Back to the important stuff:
*Make that 6-0, 3/4 of the way through the first.
- They better win
- Pronger has a broken foot & Smith has a broken toe
- I'm back on the "Oilers need a goaltender" wagon
Back to the important stuff:
- *The women's team is already whuppin' the Russians 3-0 halfway through the first period.
- Northern Alberta has 1 gold. Southern Alberta has zero
*Make that 6-0, 3/4 of the way through the first.
Comments:
A 12-0 Women's Hockey rout!
Man, those Russkies were pylons. And of all players to be 5"1, it had to be both of their goalies.
Meanwhile: goaltending is killing us again.
Classic over-celebration by le GG. Scoring the Fourth and TYING goal at home against one of the worst teams in the NHL is hardly anything to celebrate. But then doubling his goal output in one game is pretty decent.
Defeated by the fucking glove of Sanford & Son!!! God. If we weren't all blinded by the fact the Olympic tourney start on Wednesday, we would be considering mass seppuku. Jussi must have been pissed to get pulled in OT.
Wow, those women's hockey tilts are so incredibly entertaining. Back and forth, tense, the outcome always in doubt. Couldn't tear myself away from the TV!
Well, until I saw a plastic bag caught in an updraft outside. It was the most beautiful and exciting thing I've ever seen.
It's turning into another Smile Day (TM) -- The Oilers were Stempniaked and the Avalanche were crushed. The women's hockey team is manhandling (probably exactly the wrong verb to use there, but you get the idea) everything in sight. Now if the Wild can keep it rolling tonight against the Canucks I might even find myself looking forward to a Monday morning.
Does anyone intend to watch women's hockey EVER again after hearing on yesterdays telecast that the best (or second best) womens team on earth prepared for the Olympics by playing Midget teams? And going .500 against them?
The point was that the hockey is just not that good, much the same as the basketball is not good in the WNBA. But I suppose everyone that watches the NBA but refuses to watch an inferior WNBA product are practicing "jackassery."
The fact they prepped by playing teenagers is just an illustration of the calibre of play. There is a reason people will shell out $150 to watch an NHL game, but not for Junior B.
In hindsight I realize my comment could easily be viewed as offensive and I apologize for that. I should have found a better way to express my opinion that outside of the patriotic need to watch during the Olympics, I would choose not to watch an inferior calibre of hockey. (I guess I would if I had a family member involved so I can see why you are offended).
By the way my name is Eric. I wasn't trying to hide. And your name is ..... Mud?
And I'm not a "retard" - that is an ignorant thing to call somebody and a poor way to debate.
