Bonsignore Citizens Brigade: Oilers @ Wings
So the game starts in a half hour you say? Well fuck. Sorry boys I've been really busy lately and unfortunately it looks like this place has fallen apart. Maybe I should think about recuriting a few more guys so I'm not the only person that writes anything.......
Is it just me, or has this break from hockey been kind of nice? Don't get me wrong, if I had my way the Oilers would somehow find a way to play every day. But with the ship sinking faster and faster every game, it's been fucking great to get a break from trying to deal with all this bullshit. 8 games in 14 days seems like a lot of hockey to squeeze out, so I'm sure the Oilers players are as relieved as anyone to get a few days off and not think about what a shit show the season has been so far.
The Oilers play Detroit tonight huh? The only good thing I can think of off the top of my head is that the Wings have been playing pretty shitty, by Red Wing standards anyway. Two trips to the Stanley Cup finals in a row look to be finally catching up to this troupe of soft Swedes. Combine that with Chris Osgood having one of his "I'm going to play like shit" years and it's been a rough ride so far, again, as far as Red Wings standards go. And by Red Wings standards I mean that anything less than being top 3 in the league is horrible.
Anyway I don't even really know what's going on going into this game. Everyone is still hurt I assume. The Oilers will lose spectacuraly tonight I assume. And Ryan Potulny will get a hat trick tonight, I assume. I'm already resigned to the fact that this season is a lost cause. And I'm glad. I would rather lose like the losingiest losers on the planet, and get a shot at one of the T's, than play decent down the stretch, and wind up in 9th, one point out of a playoff spot. At least this way we'll hopefully get something sweet out of the deal. But you know, even if they keep losing, as long as they come out and play with the same kind of jump that they did against the Sharks, then at least this season will be fun to watch. That's all I ask of you Oilers; play hard and make the games interesting to watch.
