What a garbage night last night. I don't know what the hell happened out there. Either the flu finally took its toll on the team, or they just have no fucking luck against Calgary whatsoever. I do know this; the Oilers were heavily out shot once again and they finally paid for it.
I'm going to level with you. I don't remember much about the game, and after the Flames 3rd goal I switched over to the fight full on. I remember Stortini playing well and getting in Iginla's grill. And Penner potting another one. And Gilbert and Grebeshkov giving me chest pains with their mediocre play.
Our Oilers roll into my adopted home tonight to square off against a lackluster Vancouver Canucks team. The Canucks are coming off a mediocre win that they just barely squeaked out against the worst team in the league. The only reason they won came down to the fact that they played about 14 minutes of the first period on the power play, and Luongo once again bailed them out when they stopped playing after the first period. If the Oilers can stay out of the box tonight they should be able to easily handle the Canucks 5 on 5. They definitely need to shoot the puck from fucking everywhere if they plan on winning this game. There is no way they can be out shot 38-22 and somehow manage to put 4 or 5 pucks behind Luongo. It's not going to happen. Unfortunately for us he's starting to hit his stride and that's no good for a team averaging around 20 shots a night.
Both squads come in with a fistful of regulars out of the lineup. I think if the Oilers pluggers and ham and eggers can out muscle and wear down the shitty Canucks for 60 minutes our team will fly back home with 2 more points. Also, after watching Leafs/Canucks yesterday I hope Stortini or someone cross checks Mason Raymond in the face. That fucking kid was all over the ice last night and we can't have him drawing penalties and scoring goals against our team, NO SIR! I hate the Canucks so god damn much and if I have to watch our boys lose back to back to them and the Flames I might just stop watching hockey until Tuesday. Ugh, I'm too hungover to think much longer.

P.S I'm going to start doing the Sack Beatings on Monday, because for some reason I always find myself feeling like a hungover sack of shit on Sunday's. Weird.
