Bonsignore Citizens Brigade: Oilers @ Blues

Mr. Gordie Howe Hat Trick

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!

70 Say Your Piece:

  1. Potulny, Nilsson, Horcoff. What a power play line!

  2. Goals going in from behind the goal line seem to be JDD's biggest weakness.

  3. Hey JS! 'Sup?

    Looks like the boys spent last night at the rippers. Too many private room "dances".
    ReplyDelete
  4. Everyone's being so faggy lately. "Waaahhh I have a job". "Waaahh I have a wife and kids". Whatever. Homos.

  5. I like that the St. Louis fans are booing the most obvious penalty of all time.
    Boo the shitty phantom calls.

  6. I always wondered if guys cut themselves like in the WWF.
    ReplyDelete
  7. Two posts already. We aren't gonna win this one. No way man.
    ReplyDelete
  8. What the fuck are we reviewing here? If JDD is legitimately hurt?
    Oh fuck. I didn't notice he rolled that far into his own net.
    ReplyDelete
  9. Seriously this is the worst looking PP line I've ever seen. I like Potulny, but come the fuck on Quinn!
    ReplyDelete
  10. Dubnyk?....uh...uh...thank fuck no.

    *Whew!*
    ReplyDelete
  11. There's your boy, Taylor Hall!!!!
    ReplyDelete
  12. Seee???? How awesome would he be giving horrible interviews to Gene in between periods in an Oilers jersey?
    AMAZING!
    ReplyDelete
  13. Aaaaand he looks just about the age to be right in your wheelhouse too. If we did get him in the draft, you might have to move back to the mother ship.

    Then again, its going to be 30 fuckin' below for the next few days. Its like, what, +2 for you guys there today? God damn you.
    ReplyDelete
  14. Actually it was a crisp 0 today. And there was snow! For about 15 minutes and then it all melted, but, still. We are in the throws of winter!

    I think I might start walking around in shorts and a t-shirt or something to try and get acclimatized to the garbage weather I so look forward to coming home to in a week and a half.
    Did I mention I hate winter? Fuck.

  15. Man I'm going to miss all the hot curling chicks in LuluLemon pants.
    ReplyDelete
  16. God I got so into curling last night. I couldn't fucking turn it off! It's just like tennis. If I watch a certain amount of tennis I can't stop until the game is over.
    ReplyDelete
  17. Time for Sam to wake the fuck up!
    ReplyDelete
  18. BBBBBOOOOOORRRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG.

    Oh great another power play. This has to lead to a goal!
    ReplyDelete
  19. Ha ha! Curling. Yeah. I have HD. You can see the little bubbles on the ice. Its god damn mezzzzmerizing. Not to mention that I never knew curling chicks were so freaking hot. Jesus!
    ReplyDelete
  20. You know how sometimes you'd swear hockey is fixed?

    This is one of those times.
    ReplyDelete
  21. And is there anything hotter than a bunch of hot bitches in tight pants screaming "HAAAAARRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD"?
    No many things that's for sure.
    ReplyDelete
  22. Aaaaandd Horcov with the muffin.

    Right. In. The. Crest.

    Fuck.
    ReplyDelete
  23. Whoa, I just got caught talking to a telemarketer, but they hung up on me instead! Everything's coming up JS!
    ReplyDelete
  24. I love doing that shit if I have the time. Guaranteed to make you feel better afterwards.
    ReplyDelete
  25. I like letting them get right into their schpeel, and then casually hanging up on them mid sentence.

    Fuck last month some 1800 number called me every day for like 34 straight days. And I didn't pick up once. But fuck man they were resilient.
    ReplyDelete
  26. haha fuck I just realized it's Friday. No wonder no one is around.

    *has absolutely no concept of time right now*
    ReplyDelete
  27. JDD looked like a peewee goalie there. Jesus.
    ReplyDelete
  28. Who the fuck is the goalie coach right now? Ryan Whitney's dad still? Whoever it is needs to fucking teach JDD to stop pucks with his "glove" and "blocker" instead of just letting them whiz right by his shoulders.
    ReplyDelete
  29. Or maybe...here's an idea...STAND THE SHIT UP!!!!!
    ReplyDelete
  30. I wonder when the last time a goalie stood on his feet to make a save? I'm going to say 1993.
    ReplyDelete
  31. Cocksucker. There's nothing left in the tank tonight.
    ReplyDelete
  32. I fucking HATE THIS SONG!

    EVERYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS!

  33. You'd think a guy like POS would have some jump in a game like this. After all, he's barely worked up a sweat this trip.
    ReplyDelete
  34. ^ How in the fuck did you do that? You didn't type all that stuff out, did you?
    ReplyDelete
  35. HOW DID HE NOT SCORE THERE!!! SOURAY NOOOO!!!
    ReplyDelete
  36. hahaha that guy is just staring at Gene like "Who the fuck is this guy and what the fuck is he doing?"
    ReplyDelete
  37. Well I suppose you feel a whole lot better about yourself, now that we're back to our goat-like ways.

    Haha! "Statistics are for losers."
    ReplyDelete
  38. No, because, as with every other fucking time, I was kind of excited for this game. And was hoping for another sweet win. I told you guys, I should always remain super pessimistic.

    Ah well.

    *goes back to cutting out pictures of Taylor Hall*
    ReplyDelete
  39. I can see you guys. I'm stuck watching the princess and the frog right at this minute but I'm with you in spirit. Fuck this homo daddy bullshit! Right JS? Yeah.
    ReplyDelete
  40. haha. The things I say about you behind your back are none of your concern.

    Don't worry you aren't missing anything at all. Boring game. Slow, usual Friday night internet love in.
    ReplyDelete
  41. The good thing about this game being on so early is that you get to the bar FULL of chicks later on.

    Hmmm..what to wear. What to wear...
    ReplyDelete
  42. BRUUUUUUUUUUULEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

    Hahahaha!

    Man. Sam is getting to be MR SET-UP!
    ReplyDelete
  43. Man this Brule kid is pretty solid huh?

    Yeah one of the great things about being on the coast is that the game is usually over before 8 so there's far too much time to still go out and get drunk. Or more drunk.
    ReplyDelete
  44. Fucking Dakin. He's probably scoping all the MILFs in the theatre right now.
    ReplyDelete
  45. SAM GAGNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    ReplyDelete
  46. I love the Gagner glass slam.
    ReplyDelete
  47. Me too. It's not as good as the Laraque "jump into the glass and scare the shit out of everyone in the first 5 rows", but it's pretty solid either way.
    Especially when he pulls it out when he scores to make it 5-1 for the other team.
    ReplyDelete
  48. That Nilsson kid sure has come back strong.

    Who saw that coming®???
    ReplyDelete
  49. We are going to get such an awesome return for him at the deadline!
    ReplyDelete
  50. Ha ha! Fuck you JS. He's a keeper. Get POS outta there and replace him with Comrie. Then we'll really have something.
    ReplyDelete
  51. Horcofh has no steam on that shot any more.
    ReplyDelete
  52. He used his one shot for the month. And really, that puck barely went in.

    I'm just waiting for Nilsson to start playing shitty again so we can all get back to hating him.
    ReplyDelete
  53. PENNER!!!!!

    UNSTOPPABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Jesus!
    ReplyDelete
  54. BEST LINE IN HOCKEY EVER!!!!

    Man they've had a fucking night.

    hahahaha DEAD quiet in St. Louis. Amazing.
    ReplyDelete
  55. Well I guess you might as well go back to Googling "Naked Megan Fox" because "Naked Taylor Hall" isn't going to do you much good any more.
    ReplyDelete
  56. PLAYOFFS!IFOJSOFIJ)(#)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm still not convinced. But great game. And I'm not used to, what do they call this, a "winning streak"? It's so foreign.
    ReplyDelete
  57. The thing is, they're beat to shit on the last game of a hard road trip. Wonder how well they'll do with a few days off AT HOME????
    ReplyDelete
  58. Well knowing our luck, they've finally figured out how to play well on the road, which means they are going to shit their pants at home. Just wait. God I hope I'm wrong.
    ReplyDelete
  59. FIVE FUCKING GAMES IN A FUCKING ROW!!!!!!!!

    HOLEEEEE SHIT!
    ReplyDelete
  60. Dakin sure picked a shitty night to watch Princess and the Frog.
    ReplyDelete
  61. So it only took me 10 minutes to load the website! I love blogger so much!

    Anyway, there is no such thing as a shitty night to watch Princess and the Frog.

    Except maybe tonight.
    ReplyDelete
  62. Tap o' the beer bottle to you JS. Gotta get out to the bar.

    Women and booze. Delicious.
    ReplyDelete
  63. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED????????? Jesus fuck I was sitting there watching some good old fashioned racial stereotyping in the theatre and it was feeling ok with missing the game because it was 3-0. I am driving home and I have a message on my phone from my Habs fan buddy saying..."Man I bet you are still kicking yourself for not taking Penner right now. 4 Points!!!!"

    I said "Pardon?"

    Well I SNAPPED! Fucking LOSE it!
    ReplyDelete
  64. Epic game Travis! Normally it would be like "nice win, nothing special". But this one was something else. Holy shit man, the third was stunning. Penner's last goal was jizz inducing. At least make sure you catch up on the TSN wrap-up tonight.

    Holy shit. Unfuckingbelievable.
    ReplyDelete
  65. I'm watching curling highlights right now waiting for it in anticpation!!!

    This is fucked... I'm afraid like JS to actually get excited again because they WILL fuck me hard. But god damn it's getting tough not to.
    ReplyDelete
  66. The game highlights are up at the Oilers site if you don't mind pixelvision.
    ReplyDelete
  67. I missed a gooder...ffs! Watched the oil in an hour version, brules second was a gaborik lazer... deadly shit there. THe rest were the reason ty conklin sucks and is no longer an oiler.
    ON curling.

    Im good with many of them but that Kelly Scott makes me want to kill kittens. ITs like a plump 84 year old tea granny stuffed in a plump, self assured normal broad with the voice and mentality of a 5 year old. She creeps me out.
    I know the lawton rink from Stoon well, had to text the husbands and congratulate them for fucking their wives senseless.
    Fuck is it cold this morning...... brutal..... and these stupid rigs that didnt turn a wheel all summer or during our amazing fall... are now flat out in this shit. OIl companies are run by the dumbest pricks in the free world.
