Good morning everyone! How are we feeling this morning? So let me get this straight, it's Sunday, the game starts at noon, and it's on PPV? There's no way we can lose this one!
Once again this is a preemptive strike. I don't love you guys that much to get up at 10 or whatever to get this shit up. And I'm not even sure if I'm going to be around for this game. We've been shooting a movie all weekend and barring rain we're going to be back atter tomorrow. So if I'm not here I'm putting Davi....uhhh...Dak....ummm....Rus....no.....umm, okay well you're all just in charge or each other. Try not to burn the place down please.
Our mighty heroes take on the Thrashers of Atlanta on this fine November afternoon. With the return of Kovalchuck the Thrashers have been on fucking fire. Kovi has 7 points in 2 games since coming back, and the Thrashers are coming off an absolute ass raping of the Kings on Friday. Evander Kane is also having himself a nice little season, it's just too bad no one will ever know who the fuck he is as long as he's playing in Atlanta. I remember watching Kane play his first ever game for the Vancouver Giants. He was like 15, a Bantam call up during the playoffs. And he did not look out of place what so ever. I was hoping the Oilers would trade up in the last draft to try and take a stab at Kane, but you can't have your cake and eat it too I guess.
Kovalchuck becomes a free agent at the end of this season, and how fucking good would he look in an Oilers uni? I just ripped a hole in my pants thinking about it. Him and Hemsky would probably put up like 800 points between them. Please hockey gods, you've fucked us around for a long fucking time (aside from the 06 run). If you have any decency you'll make this happen. Thank you in advance.
The Oilers continue to be streaky as always, but at least they've finally strung together 3 games of consistent hockey. They've already gotten 3 more points on this road trip than I thought they would, and it's nice to finally see them play above my shitty expectations.
I really have no idea how to call this one fellas. The Thrashers have gotten pretty good goaltending, Kovalchuck, Afinagenov, Kane, Bogosian, etc are all firing pucks in the net for them, and they haven't really looked shitanusly bad like we're used to.
On the other side of the coin the Oilers PP looked like absolute shit against Buffalo, but they've finally started outshooting teams, and putting together as close to 60 minutes of hockey as we've seen all year. I think it's going to be a close one. If Khabby can continue to stand on his head this one might come down to a goalie duel.
