Oh yeah, there's also a game on tonight. I'll be here, and lwoCPO will be live-blogging on Abel to Yzerman.
Prediction: Oilers get the Katz bump, win on four goals from howitzers taken by Souray that go in off of Penner's jowls. 4-2, Oil. GOILERS!!!
***Update***
Head to Head (5v5)
Shift Chart
Six goals from Samuelsson because he's playing with Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Sacamano could score 6 on that line. Wings win 7-1.
ReplyDeletePull the goalie.
ReplyDeleteShocking, a bad goal by Roli. Put Garon in!
ReplyDeleteGene Principe just said that "back in Oil Country, they've taken to calling him Scorcoff."
ReplyDeleteThe Oilogosphere Rules All.
Mick Redmond just said, "here in Detroit they've started calling Hasek one insane motherfucker."
ReplyDeleteWingobingosphere rules all.
How's Redmond's back? Are the Wings still mad at him for ruining the 70s?
ReplyDeleteMick's been forgiven. He's not real fond of Roloson after that though.
ReplyDeleteOooh Ales! He's hot!
ReplyDeleteHEMSKY!
ReplyDeleteYES! Eat that, Zoolander!
ReplyDeleteDear Santa Katz,
ReplyDeleteNot to be greedy but please sign this Pitkannen kid.
Joni...whoa! He sounds like Frankenstein. Me play good. Me get goal.
ReplyDeleteIs that Rob Brown on CHED? ARRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteGene Principe just said that "back in Oil Country, they've taken to calling him Scorcoff."
ReplyDeleteThe Oilogosphere Rules All.
If anyone (especially producers) from Sportsnet West is reading this:
1. RAY FERRARO IS EXCELLENT.
2. GENE PRINCIPE WEARS PANTIES.
Bonus Sports Boner: Calgary is down 2-1.
ReplyDeleteNice defence on that last goal you city full of honkies.
Joni...whoa! He sounds like Frankenstein. Me play good. Me get goal.
ReplyDeleteHe scares me. His skin looks like wax. I think he might be a powerful, terrible, robot clone of Dolph Lundgren. His heart is obviously "on fire." Which is why he deserves a huge contract ASAP.
San Fernado didn't glove that puck. The puck refused to leave his gloriousness.
ReplyDeleteFerraro just said "Stat-heads"...two oilogosphere references in one game!;o)
ReplyDeleteFerraro just said "Stat-heads"...two oilogosphere references in one game!;o)
ReplyDeleteThe disdain with which he said it suggests you might be correct. ;)
Pitkanen is everywhere. I'm therefore suggesting the nickname "Upitquitous."
ReplyDeleteAnd dare I say Souray has looked okay, tonight?
Goilers!
ReplyDelete(Just checking in)
Scorcoff just saved a goal there.
ReplyDeleteHi Loxy!
I need to change that picture.. I haven't had long red hair in like two years.
ReplyDeleteI have a suggestion for Pitkanen, although it only works when he's working the blueline with a tall dark-haired co-defenseman (like Souray):
ReplyDeleteJoanie and Cha-Chee.
Everytime either of them score, "Ehhhhhhh", with thumbs pointed up. Come on everyone.
What happened to Marty's stick?
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Marty's stick?
ReplyDeleteBecause it's you, I'm not sure what you are asking. :)
The Oil are using only 4 defenceman at this point. Grebeshkov and Smid are riding pine. Staios is going to be over-extended yet again.
SAN FERNANDO!!!
ReplyDeleteMy God, this line looks great together.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS
ReplyDeleteAhhh Saint Fernando!!!
ReplyDeleteHey-o!
ReplyDeletePisani!
You know Grebs is having a bad one when Rod Phillips starts talking shit about his game.
ReplyDeleteRedmond just said that despite the Wings leading in shots 26-16, Edmonton's dominating this game. I'd tend to agree, so far. I'm gonna drink a bit more.
ReplyDeleteThoughts? I'm starting to like this team more and more. I'd like to see a full roster.
ReplyDeleteStill no Tricky Dick?
ReplyDeleteStill no Tricky Dick?
ReplyDeleteNope. Rolling Staois/Souray/Pitkanen/Gilbert/Smid/Grebeshkov.
moreau-reasoner-brodziak. i've been waiting to see that line since the preseason. hopefully mr. glass stays around for a while once he returns. if that becomes a new line do you move cogliano into thoreson spot?
ReplyDeleteJoni...whoa! He sounds like Frankenstein. Me play good. Me get goal.
ReplyDeleteThat's the way I like it. No complications and other thoughts in his head other than...play good, get goal.
And damn I wish I hadn't spent the first 2 periods talking to my mother.
if that becomes a new line do you move cogliano into thoreson spot?
ReplyDeleteGood question. Right now we've got:
27-10-83
12-89-34
14-16-28
13-19-51
With Sanderson and Mr. Glass coming back.
How did Scorcoff not get that one? Damn. Well, fans in Detroit will be happy Hasek is hurt.
ReplyDeleteSo either Hasek is faking or he's doen for the year. Those are the only options, right?
ReplyDeleteYargh. I have the chance to trade either of Horcoff or Jokinen & Lethonen for Spezza or Pronger in my hockey roto pool.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I'm agonizing between Horcoff and Jokinen...decisions decisions.
I was shocked Hasek got up. It isn't like him to exaggerate. If the playoffs started tomorrow, though...
ReplyDeleteOh what do you know: Hasek is FINE.
ReplyDeleteSigh. Grebshkov with a 3-2 lead.
GREBESHKOV. AGAIN. Bench his ass. AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteGrebeshkov-gahhhhsafi2hcsafhfiu!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJason Jones wants to get his prank on. For the 576983th time.
ReplyDeleteI thought that commercial WAS the prank?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much ice 12-89-34 are finding. And MacT is matching strength against strength with the top lines. Horcoff just rules.
ReplyDeletePerfect, smart checking by Horc. Simply tucks his arms in and shoves away.
ReplyDeleteHarder than it sounds.
Torres looked like he wobbled his knee on the play...
ReplyDeleteFUCK.
ReplyDeleteFuck me. That one was coming for about five minutes. Another horrible goal by Roloson.
ReplyDeleteDamn CHED is down, right after Zetterberg scored. I'm blind and deaf to the game now, and the last words ringing in my ears are "Zetterberg scores!"
ReplyDeleteHow many late third period leads have this team given up? I've lost count. Boooo!!!
ReplyDeleteGagner, Nilsson and Souray against Zetterberg is a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping the hockey gods are merely ensuring that Horcoff's streak is extended by his OT winner.
ReplyDeleteHOLY SHIT. There is was, Mustafa. How the hell did that not go in?
ReplyDeleteDamn it what's happening...CHED I didn't mean it come back up baby, come back up!
ReplyDeleteWild scramble in front of Detroit's net, no idea how Horcoff or Souray didn't score.
ReplyDeleteOkay this is just ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteThat's twice this game that Horc's been robbed? Clearly the Wings are praying to some evil spirits to stop him.
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe he'll get another SO winner.
Going to the shootout I guess isn't so bad. But if MacT does a Conkanen trick and puts Garon in I would feel a lot better.
ReplyDeleteSlap shot from Zetterberg?
ReplyDeleteHemsky. Nice.
ReplyDeleteBoy, that's gotta be a bit of a diss on Rollie.
ReplyDeleteHemsky!
HEMSKORE!
ReplyDeleteRedemption by Roli for that shit goal in the 3rd!!! Wooohooooo!!!!
ReplyDeleteHEMSKORE!
ReplyDeleteBig win!
ReplyDeleteYES!!!
ReplyDelete5 of 6 points on the road. 6-3-1 in their last ten. Not bad. Not bad at all.
Take that, Stats Heads!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Oil won? Yeah! We're the Dallas of shootouts this year! Woooo!
ReplyDeleteMan are we gold in the SO or what huh?
ReplyDeleteFuck of a game!
Roli is the first star? No way. Upitquitous, San Fernando, Scorcoff and Gagner West were the best Oilers tonight.
ReplyDeleteI love watching Lombardias react to Ferraro speaking. Pure hilarity.
ReplyDelete9-6 for the Flames in Tampa. Insane.
ReplyDeleteSeriously: 9-6 Calgary??
ReplyDeleteYup. Leaping Lanny Phaneuf had five assists.
ReplyDeleteTwo hat tricks. Old school.
ReplyDeleteGood think I sat Paul Ranger. 0 points, minus 6.
What is it with the 3rd periods??? Can't they NOT go to OT or a shootout??
ReplyDeleteBut then again, we totally rule the shootouts.
Friendly reminder to vote for Hemsky at Hot Oil! :)
Future quote from Craig Mactavish, 5 minutes and 1 second into the first overtime of the playoffs: "Oh crap! No shootout!?!"
ReplyDeleteFuture quote from Craig Mactavish, 5 minutes and 1 second into the first overtime of the playoffs: "Oh crap! No shootout!?!"
ReplyDeleteThat means we made the playoffs, which is fine with me.
Yeah, I figured that would be your response. Still, the joke was worth it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's become clear that the shootout needs a better name. Something that references Edmonton, with a little mocking reference built in (a la The Greatest Play in Hockey (just at thought: Owen Nolan is becoming The Greatest Player in Hockey)).
ReplyDeleteHow about Klondike Klobbering, as in, "Detroit received a Klondike Klobbering at the hands of Edmonton last night."
Oops, that should be The Most Exciting Play(er) in Hockey.
ReplyDeleteI've come up with some related slogans to be used for the new arena:
The New Rexall Place: Where This Hour Has 65 Minutes!
and
The New Rexall Place: Built Downtown So You'll Have Something To Do While Waiting For The Shootout!
I think I've got a winner:

Def: The Oilers with a late third period tie.
