GDB X: Another provincial civil war

Watching the Oilers come back from a 4-1 deficit last game against the Blue Jackets was really something. Like Gregor and Brownlee alluded to yesterday, it's been pretty unreal watching PDP blow fans, hangers-on and bandwagon-jumpers away. Even Hemsky came alive!
And this gives me hope.
Now let's hope this fekkin' flu bug that's knocked Gilbert Brule and Mike Comrie out of the line-up has run its course. I'd hate for hope to fade.
Battle of October
Can someone please explain to me why we've played the Flames twice since the beginning of the season? Tonight marks the third iteration of the Battle of Alberta. After this we don't play Calgary again until after Christmas — twice more before the New Year. After that, we play them one more time in January and that's it for the regular season.
Won't get fooled Iginla
After the knock-down blow Iginla dealt Souray in the last Battle of Alberta, there was a lot of fuss kicked up by, well, just about everyone. Was it deliberate? Will Pat Quinn's curmudgeonly ramblings result in more fines? Should Ignila have been fined too? Is Bulin staying hydrated?
The real question I think everyone wants an answer to is what's going to happen in tonight's game. Whether you believe Ignila's hit was dirty and deliberate or not (deliberate hit, yes, but surely he didn't intend to injury Souray to the extent that he did), you have to wonder what the Oilers have in mind for Iggy tonight.
A good, old-fashioned beat-down? And who rolls up their sleeves to get this done?
We need answers
Thankfully, we needn't wait much longer for answers to at least some of these questions. And although the Flames and the Oilers share the exact same record so far this season (6-2-1), I'd say the Flames have more to worry about than we do... The Oilers are playing spirited hockey.
And it's a blast to watch.
Oh yeah, check out what the competition has to say about tonight's game.
That Richards hit is scary. Yikes.
That Richards hit is scary. Yikes.
You can say that again.
LOL
Love those hits. I might be slightly bloodthirsty but Scott Stevens was my favourite player because he hit people like that often enough to be a feared man when he was on the ice.
does anyone know how a guy stuck in LA can watch this game? cbc.ca will not allow a US ip access to the web stream...:-(
@ The Towel Boy
Ummmmmmmmm, it was such a hard hit a double post was required.
*stupid blackberry and beer combination*

Gilbert Gilbert Gilbert....*sigh*
someone needs to two hand Bourque across the ankles.
Chorney for the Norris!
If I hear "power hockey" one more time I'm going to reach through my TV and pop Weeks.
$@!!&*@#^&$!
I think the Oilers need a Pat Quinn garbage can throwing time out right now.
Never thought I would wish an Oiler would shoot less but Patty O is wasting his time.
I am so mad I'm going to drink this beer and open another. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr...psssssssshhhh....ggggguuuuullllpppp.....aahhhhhhhh..grrrrrrrr.
Okay, I just got back from the store. What's going.....
F$CK!
THANK YOU!!! what's the point really?
'Power Hockey'
try justintv
You can say that again...
Power hockey? Or ~awesome~ defensive zone coverage?
You drink the HELL out of that beer ronaldo. Do it.
And "unmolested" when talking about a player entering the zone with little resistance.
What is the deal with Horcoff? That's like the 4th time they've shown him wiping off his visor. Is his vision being blocked by 'the suck'?
I prefer "unmolested penetration".
Yeah...Strudwick ...not the guy I had drawn up for being alone in the high slot.
Hasn't HNIC turned into a joke? Two drunken bums on the street don't stutter as much as Mark Lee and Kevin Weekes.
@ LM
Hahahaha
Agreed. The Oilers definately need to do a better job of molesting Flames players...
PK time... don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck don't suck
something something Fleury.
oh, this is just awesome. high stick? Probably not... *hopes*
@Mad Mike
I can't stand Mark Lee. I think Weekes has SOME potential, but he's having a rough night that's for sure.
WOOOOOOOOO! DION!!
Jesus Horcoff is a robot. Two in row. He's never going to walk right again.
This goal is good.
@Archaeologuy
oooooh man...I wanted to say that but was not man enough. Thank you.
and man...that's one fine PK
thx. my wife hates me...:-))
Show the net cam view...
I was waiting for that, but I didn't want to be the first.
Okay Oilers, if you're not interesting in winning, let's collect some teeth or something.
how is the overhead view going to help?
Fffffffffffffffffffffffff#########################ccccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But wait! The game isn't nearly as fun if the Oil don't have to come back from a 4-1 deficit....right?
You know...the FSN uses super high speed cameras and gives you ULTRA SLO-MOTION replays. I kinda think that'd be handy for video repalys n' stuff. Come on CBC.
hmm...down 4-1...reminds me of another game I watched recently.
You know what I like...
... when a good goal gets reviewed...
... because you get to celebrate twice!!
Oh man, someone has to start and win a fight in a hurry.
