The Second-Hottest Man in my Mother's Basement
I'm watching the Coyotes game, and I just have to say I fucking. HATE. Edmonton's jerseys. They look like practice jerseys. Same with Colorado's. How can anyone be proud wearing one of those?
Stars continued their inconsistent play last night, losing to Toronto, a game we should have NEVER lost.
Pretty much anyone has a better jersey than the Wild's original rag. Their other two "alternatives," OTOH, are quite nice.
Our home jerseys are the shit though.

Indeed. Those are jerseys you can be proud of. Your away jerseys make your team look like a bunch of amateurs (which was fitting during the game last night I must say).
Jesus, the Wild bloody suck. It was so bad tonight I had to turn to the Wolves game. Glad I don't have access to tickets anymore, since, really, can't say I've ever forgiven management since they let Gabby go. :anonymous
How about my Jackets?

5 in a row for the Lightning but we fell asleep in the 3rd period we almost gave it back to the Rangers
Tom Gilbert is indeed a turnover machine. And brutal turnovers at that. I am dead serious when I say that I have never hated a player as much as I hate Tom Gilbert. I despise him. He looks like a diseased lizard.
Honestly, Hall hasn't been fun to watch at all, he's constantly getting pushed off the puck. He needs to toughen up in a big way.
Eberle has been great to watch though, on both sides of the ice.
It's funny, Penner's first year with the Oilers he had no motivation and was so slow and put in no effort (I think he was eating too many cheeseburgers and doughnuts), but then last season he was phenomenal from beginning to end, he never quit on the puck, he hustled, and he had a career year (and he induced a complete 180 on my opinion of him). Now this year he's almost reverted back to the Dustin Penner that he was in his first season with the Oilers (though not quite).
I made a stupidly optimistic and knee-jerk reaction prediction for the Oilers to make playoffs and the Stanley Cup Finals after watching them spank the Flames to open the season, but obviously I'm not going to stick by that prediction. A bottom-five in the NHL and bottom-three in the West finish is likely, and I think we could finish second-last to the Islanders. If that be the case, we'll get another high draft pick, which would be great considering the path we're on now.
On the bright side, to me it looks like all our young guns are poised to break out at right around the same time. Pääjärvi (who has been terrible; pointless in his last ten), Hall, Eberle, and possibly most important of all, Dubnyk (who has played very well since Khabibulin went on the IR, especially for a guy with so little experience in the NHL so far) all could hit their stride in two or three seasons, which will give us a two or three-year window from then before we lose them all to free agency (because, let's face it, the Oilers are pretty much just a farm team for the rest of the NHL).
Think I'm gonna check that Avs/Soilers game tonight whilst at the fam's house and NHL Network.
Get it Rod, 'Soilers'? :1orglaugh (bad joke, I know).

After the second period with the Rangers having only 7 shots and losing 5-0 , I was afraid they would come out flat in the third because it happens a lot in the NHL , you have an overwhelming lead and you think the other team can't come back so you slow down. The Rangers had a 5-0 lead at the start of the third against montreal a while back and they lost the game 6-5 in OT. I was so angry seeing the habs come back like that.
Good GW by Hall last night. Game was not bad.
2 tough games for Tampa now. Washington today and Florida tomorrow.
Washington is always tough and for some reason we usually struggle with Florida whether they're good or not.
it's that damned Vokoun. if we can solve him we're golden. although we've had 3 games in a row where the 3rd period has been bad. play like that can rule out any chance of winning
