Bonsignore Citizens Brigade: Oilers @ Avs
What the hell? A non pay per view game? Have the hockey gods finally smiled down up on us? Oh wait, the Oilers are in Colorado playing the Avs. Apparently those asshole hockey gods have a terrible sense of humor and love crapping on us. What did we do to deserve this? WHY US???????
Anyway as I said before the Oilers roll into Colorado sporting a sterling 4-6-0 record over 10 games, and have managed to lose 6 of their last 7. Needless to say it hasn't been a fun couple of weeks. And I'm not holding out much hope the Oilers are going to end their skid tonight. Colorado on the other hand have won 7 of their last 10 and are still unbeaten at home. Fucking awesome. Ugh, this season is starting to sound like a broken record. Everyone is still hurt with something or another. Horcoff, Smid, Souray, Jacques, and Stone are still out. And Hemsky is a game time decision. We're in horrible shape here boys.
I'm not going to waste too much more time talking about this. There's really no way I can see the Oilers winning tonight and the only thing that would surprise me is if we lose by less than 3 goals.
Calgary and Vancouver keep winning. The Leafs look to have finally righted their sinking ship. It feels like the end of days right now. Though if it continues to get worse and worse it will probably start to become funny again. Remember that Chicago game last year when the Hawks raped the Oilers in their own building? And at one point we started cheering for the Hawks to score more goals and eventually break 10? If the Oilers keep losing I'm pretty sure that how the rest of the season is going to feel. Bring on Taylor Hall!
jeanshorts prediction: Colorado 5 - Edmonton 0. Yeah that's right. Craig Anderson with the goose egg. Would anyone be shocked? Didn't think so.
If there was ever a time to prove me wrong Oilers it would be tonight. But I'm not betting the house on it.
GOILERS, I guess.
IQWT.
Fuck, it's going to be a long season.
