Step One

Add the right ingredients.  I'm very happy with the Oilers choice last night.  We should be a team to reckon with in a few years.  Looking forward to seeing our kids develop!

Edmonton Oilers

The  first step at rebuilding this team. Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson.  Just have to get used to his name!  Sign on the dotted line Magnus.  Oh ya...you already did -->  :-) 

Good days ahead fellow Oiler fans.  Good days.

Canada Wins!

Was there really any doubt? Perhaps not but the game was closer than the 5-1 final score shows. I was impressed by Edmonton Oiler prospect Jordan Eberle. Again, we always seem to have talented young men waiting in the wings. Now, if we can just get the Oil to show up with some umph for one whole game. What a disappointing season. *sigh*

Long Time No Post

Sorry for the absence lately. I will try and turn over a new leaf starting Jan. 1st!!! I want to post at LEAST once a day. That's my goal anyway. *s*

Going to the Oilers game tonight. Hopefully we will be kicking some serious Senator's ass!!! If not...I hope it's at least entertaining. Our seats are on the very last row...no one behind us...as high as you can get. Nothing but the best I tell ya. lol Nah...everybody knows the action is always happening in the nose bleed sections!!!

Edmonton Oilers

They unveiled their new 3rd jersey for this year. I love it because it's a throw back to days of ol'. You know...the good old days when we actually had a competitive team in this league. *s* I would like to get a new "retro" jersey but with the price of them nowadays well, that remains to be seen. The Oilers will wear the new one 14 times this season. Too bad it can't be more. I'm not really a big fan with the Reebok jerseys the NHL went with recently. Ours look a little too much like a boring practice jersey.

Check out the article.

Inflation is for the birds

Edmonton Oiler mini pack tickets have gone up substantially in cost this year. That so totally sucks I just don't even know what to say. Why do our wages go up at a snails pace while every other day you seem to notice that the price of "something" has gone up again??? *sigh*

A Good Combination

Wandered over to Churchill Square last night and the Oilers had a Guitar Hero booth open with two Sony Playstations to rock it out on. We just had to stop and I just HAD to whip out my cell phone to grab a shot when I noticed the pimped out guitars! Sweetness I tell ya!

Hockey = Hoarse

Red and I went to the Oilers afternoon game. Wow, what an awesome game to be at. Seemed like a playoff game, the place was electric. I thought we may lose it after the game was tied by Colorado after coming back from a 3 goad deficit. Somehow we managed to come out of it with a win. The crowd was sure on Ryan Smyth though. Every time he touched the puck you could here a ton of boo's being shouted out. On the other hand though, Dwayne was getting full support of the crowd today. Every time he made a decent play people continued it with a cheer of "Roly Roly Roly". This all started with him having a pushing match with Ryan after a whistle. Red and I both have very sore throats from cheering through the whole game. My voice is now 3 levels lower than usual. *s*

The Oilers are 3 points out of a playoff spot with six games to go now. We have another game with Colorado (whom we're chasing) so it should be a very interesting finish to the season. I didn't expect them to make the playoffs this year. I actually said that in October but it sure is nice to be able to give the fans something to get excited about. It's been one of those disappointing years for us again.

Moving Day!

I am completely wiped. I helped friends move into their brand new home today. Thank goodness they had lots of people to help as it turned out to be a bigger job than I first anticipated. Overall everything went very well. The only real issue was taking the 24 foot U-Haul back to the shop. There was an Edmonton Oilers game and we got stuck in some major traffic. Oh what fun. Now I am home and I'm probably not very long from bed. I would love to go hop in the hot tub but I just don't have the damn energy to go. How sad is that? Here's to J and Rhonda...may you enjoy many...MANY years in your new beautiful home!

Show & Tell

I'm a huge Edmonton Oilers fan and was lucky enough to witness one of hockey's greatest players at a few games. Wayne Gretzky. A true ambassador to the game on and off the ice! Red and I are lucky enough to own not one but TWO of his rookie cards! We proudly display a replica version of his card on our computer desks. The real ones are in safe keeping. As of today the cards are worth approximately 500-700 dollars.

Note: A mint rated Gretzky card went for a whooping $80000! Check it out here.

I'm an Oilers Fan.

Are you?

Can You Say Lay Zee?

What a completely lazy day I've had. Helped Red do a puzzle, played a little Donkey Kong Country 3 and watched both NFL playoff games. Now we've got the Oilers game on. I suspect we'll pop in a movie after this is done. So it's official. This day was entirely dedicated to Lay Zee Ness. Heard of him?

Regarding the NFL games. Both visiting teams won some extremely entertaining games. Too bad my Seahawks didn't fare as well in their away game yesterday. I'm left with cheering for the New England Patriots. I would like to see some history in the making!
