Bonsignore Citizens Brigade: Oilers @ Blues
So the Oilers win like 3 out of 20 games in November, and now all of a sudden they are on the verge of setting a franchise record for consecutive road wins? Sounds about right. This is one of those weird points in the season. A week ago it felt like all was lost, and I was getting all my materials out to start making Taylor Hall collages. Now the Oilers are only 3 points out of 8th. But in spite of this hot ass tear they've been on they are still 4 points out of 15th in the West and one point away from being 14th. What the fuck? I don't like this. So many conflicting emotions!
The Oilers step into St. Louis tonight against a Blues team who have had a very similar season to the Edmonton up until this point. The only real difference is the Blues can't score a goal to save their life. They have a league worst 71 goals for, so the way I see it, if JDD can continue to not shit the bed, the Oilers will be in good shape.
What to do, what to do. It seems that every time I am super optimistic, the Oilers are shitty, and then when I start to get really angry and down on our squad they turn it around and rally off more road wins than the 80's dream teams. I still don't think this team has what it takes to make the playoffs, so I won't be bummed if they lose, but I will cheer every time they score tonight. I think that's a happy medium, no?
Something in my gut is telling me this game is going to be boring as fuck. So let's get this BCB hopping!
