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.
Well, Wanye's Goat is having one heck of a night
4-1. Right where we want you...MWAHAHAHA...
Damn why do they have to play the flames with this depleted line-up?
@ RossCreek
If I could crawl into my blackberry, though the interwebs and out whatever computer/ laptop/ mobile you're using right now; I would ax murder you and get away with it because that sh!t would be crazy.
Come on, lets tie up those penalties!
Get 'em Smiddy!
1 - Good on ya, Smid 2 - Nice try with the block, Sam 3 - Did Khabibulin just try to get into that scrum??
Anyone else think the 3rd period is going to last 2.5 hours? *crosses fingers*
I can't wait til Smid gets 'his'. It may not be tonight, it may not be against the Flames, but he will bite off more than he can chew sooner than later and go yelping away like a shot dog.
oh man, hairy eye balls...wait, what?
@ RossCreek
Probably, but same thing will happen to pfaneuf.
You know what we need more of?? More Gilbert & Grebs turnovers. They have been BRUTAL tonight in their own zone.
LOL, beat me too it.
Oh for Christ's sake, are we STILL talking about that magazine spread? Oh.....sorry dude.....
If the Oil had Dan Hamhuis & Matt Greene they'd be better off than with Gilbert & Grebeshkov.
Is that a fair comment?
no call on crashing the net eh? i hope what's good for the goose is good for the gander...and the oilers.
Gilbert, Grebeshkov and Giveaway all start with G...coincidence? I think not.
@ RossCreek
The real problem is not grebs or gilbert, it's both. The Oilers need to choose one or at least split them up and put each with some crust.
Tonight, we'd be better off with Sarah Jessica Parker and Joey Moss.
The problem isnt that we have them, its that we have them together. If we had 1 more Smid it would be much better.
SMID WITH THE BEAT DOWN!
Hey, hey. Smid looked not bad, not an expert but...
I love that Smid tosses the helmet when he fights.
I am so glad we didn't move smid and penner this summer.
*bullet dodged*
Penner
YaaaaaaaaaaaaaaBoyyyyyy!
Suck on that yo!
...wait...Hemsky...Gagner...Penner...3 goal deficit cut to 2 goal. Deja vu?
Damn that Penner is one handsome man...
yo = Rosscreek
COME ON BOYS!
Penner's lookin like a 40 goal guy perhaps. I like Dustin. He was a mil overpaid the past 2 years and could end up being a mil underpaid for the remaining 3 years.
Jokinen: 2 minutes for being one funny looking dude!
WHY IS HORC ON THE PP?
good job Storts
Self-Destruction MODE
AHAHAHAHAH He got the extra two because the old cut was bleeding!!! hahaha
Ok boys, let's come out in the third and get one right away. And btw, pay attention to the clock, thanks.
Gotta say that Weekes is becoming a great color guy.
Will someone tll Weeks to sh@t UP!!!!!!
I can't believe I wanted Jokinen for the past 3 trade deadlines. I'm starting to wonder what in the hell I was thinkin.
Thats what I thought! WTF
@ Travis Dakin
Haha, I saw that too.
The rule doesn't say it has to be a new cut, only blood was drawn. If he didn't want four minutes, he shouldn't have slashed him over an old cut. HEHEEEE
Sorry Rosscreek other side of face...full 4 min. deserved.
@RC
Is Jokinen ever helpfull? I have never seen him contribute other then the 1st couple games when they got him.
haha haha... uh. haha is it ok for me to laugh at that?
Ya.... that didn't come out right.
@Travis Dakin
Absolutely...it's hilarious!
No, they need to split them up by trading one of them. Tom Gilbert is what I said he is . . .
as long as its ok for me to make molestation jokes, then yes.
