Bonsignore Citizens Brigade: Wild @ Oilers

Andrew Cogliano can do no wrong!

Well howdy, howdy motherfuckers. It's that time again. Last BSB we were about 3 seconds away from bringing this entire site crashing to it's knees, so tonight I think we can do one better and finally burn this motherfucker down!


The Wild roll into RX1 tonight sans their big off season acquisition Martin Havlat, and still decent scorer and former Oiler Petr Sykora. They're also without Cal Clutterbuck which is probably better than both Havlat and Sykora being out, since Cal Clutterbuck is one of the better and most frequent hitters in the game, which makes playing against him so god damn annoying I want to pull all my armpit hair out and stuff it in my mouth.

According to Gregor over at Oilersnation the Wild are looking pretty lackluster so far since ditching Jacques Lemaire and deciding to finally try this thing called "playing offense". They've only managed to score 12 goals so far, with Eric Belanger and Andrew Brunette leading the way. That can only mean good things for the Oilers because it's not like pluggers and third liners come to Edmonton and regularly make our team look stupid.

Look for your Oilers to come out flying tonight after the craptacular effort they put forth in Chicago on Wednesday. As David S will attest they did look better in that game than they did for most of the 82 last season, but the fact that they couldn't get the puck out of their own end for about 50 minutes, Hemsky and O'Sullivan were coasting around like it was public skating at the Morinville Agriplex, and no one other than Jacques, Penner, Gagner and Horcoff looked like they had any interest in being out there had to have made Pat Quinn just a little perturbed. What's the over/under on how many garbage cans he tossed around in the room after the game? I'm saying 5 and half.

The good thing is that Khabibulin stood on his head and has looked progressively better in every single game he's played. I think it's safe to say we can put those first 2 terrible games by him out of our minds and just concentrate on keeping all his limbs attached to his body for at least 50 games.

jeanshorts prediction: Oilers 3 - Wild 0. BOOK IT!

Also, your man has been working the internets pretty hard and has landed an exclusive interview with someone we've talked about on this site before. I don't want to give too much away, but she's a hot girl. Keep your head up for that real soon you fucking goons.

IQWT

GOILERS!
