Does anyone know if they've started making the Dustin Penner bronze statue yet?Alright, I'm going to level with you guys here. I've been up since 5 am, for actual work purposes. I'm balls tired. I went for a few beers after we wrapped up, which is not helping my energy level one bit. I'm going to try my damdest to watch this game but it's going to be an uphill battle, as I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes open as I type this.
The Oilers face the Avalanche tonight, and the Avs are going to be looking for blood after not only a loss to the Oilers last time out, but they're also reeling after an absolute shit kicking at the hands of the god awful Canucks. Our boys continue to lose, but have started to pick up their game. So it's a weird fucking dichotomy (that's for you Dakin). It's super nice to see them play exciting hockey for a full 60 minutes like they did on Columbus. It makes the loss a little easier to swallow since they, you know, tried really hard and all, compared to 90 percent of the games this year where they've looked like they had just been bag skated minutes before the puck drop. Being the optimistic Oiler fan I am I'm going to take this as a great sign that they've finally gotten over this flu bullshit, and with Souray and the gang back in the lineup I'm expecting this teams fortunes to change right quick. I can't fucking wait till Stone and JFJ finally come back. Seriously, who the hell ever thought they would say that? Unreal.
The game is on TSN tonight (SURPRISE, no PPV!) which is pretty sweet. Although we have to put up with Pierre McGuire for 2 hours, which is more than enough to drive entire towns to suicide. You think maybe the hockey gods will smile down upon us and not only give us Ferraro, but an Oilers win???? *passes out on the floor*
