Is it just me, or has there been a shit ton of hockey so far in this first month? Not that I'm complaining, but I'm only one man! If only I had some compadres who also wrote for this here website........
Oh well, a boy can dream can't he?
The Oilers roll into the hell hole known as Buffalo, New York tonight. And I'll be dammed if our boys didn't string together 2 solid games in a row so far on this road trip. They've already gotten 3 more points out of it than I thought they would, so I sure as shit hope they keep this whole "let's try playing hard for once" thing going.
The Sabres though have been pretty hot all season. Hmm, so I just checked out their stats side by side, and the Sabres only have one more win than the Oilers. And they've played 4 less games. Seriously who the fuck makes the schedule? Do they just get a retarded guy to go in there and put stickers of team logos all over a calender? The Oilers seem to play every 2 days but the Canucks had like 9 days off a few weeks back? God dammit Gary! Anyway as I was saying Buffalo has been playing pretty well this season, up until the last couple games. They've dropped 3 of their last 4 and you all know what that means. Tonight is the night they break out of their slump and win a game! Seriously what is it with this fucking Oilers team? Need to score your first NHL goal? Play Edmonton! On a 9 game losing streak? Turn your fortunes around with an easy win against Edmonton! Haven't scored in 837 games? Just wait until Edmonton comes to town and you'll almost get a hat trick! Isn't that right Brendan Witt?
Look for my new man-crush Dustin Penner to continue manhandling the opposition in their own end. I'm calling a 3 point night for him tonight! We're still missing somewhere between 7 and 1230934280 players due to injury, but all the call ups have looked really good so far, so let's hope this trend continues.
The only bad thing about living on the West Coast is 7pm Eastern games. Seriously 4pm is no time to come home and watch hockey. It just feels unnatural. It's almost like a matinee game. How am I supposed to get liquored up before the puck drop? Fuck. And I don't want to cause mass hysteria, but, I correctly called the score of last nights game. Just my luck right? Fuck. Not tonight though! I'm stacking my odds!
