GDB XX: Lunch time on the road

I don't know about you guys, but these Sunday afternoon PPV games don't provide a very good incentive for me to get out of bed. That's why I'm writing this in my full-body jammies with sewn-on feet from my bedroom. I'm also eating an entire ham in bed, but that's a typical Sunday morning tradtion that really has nothing to do with hockey or PPV games.
Today's game against the Thrashers marks 4 of a 5 games on this road trip, a trip in which the Oilers haven't fared too well. We've lost two out of three so far, and all because some cowboys are ropping cattle and drinking $8 beers inside RX1. Add to that the fact the Wanye has apparently flown the coup — he asked me to drive him to the airport yesterday after he packed himself a small hobo sack and didn't say where he was going — and things haven't been what you'd call "peachy" here in OilersNation.
But don't despair, the Oilers have a few things going for them:
- Pat Quinn is getting to the point where he must be scaring the shit out of the players with his rage at their poor play. I'd like to think that this is going to inspire the boys into playing, you know, hockey.
- As Brownlee indicated yesterday, Big Sex, Horcoff and Nilsson skated yesterday morning, and there's a chance they'll play today.
- Kovalchuk's foot is injured, and although he's been stopping pucks, I can see us making this work to our advantage with some net-crashing (though I certainly don't condone this).
Sure, these aren't game-makers, but I need some hope — something to hold onto. And the Oil? They need a win. Or six. Before Pat Quinn's had explodes.
This won't be an easy win for the boys in copper and blue — but they'll take the "W" 4-3. And they'll do it for Fernando Pisani.
Wow is that building empty
I think Western Canadian/Pacific Northwest accents are virtually the same, for whatever that's worth.
What's it worth? Nothing.
ooo GAME ON!!
Like a good republican you can handle facts. 83 is #3 in shots despite missing 3 games. Well done!
You know its funny, I think my "Eh" becomes more prominant in my speech in the absence of others using it.
How many ***** PPV games are we going to have this year?! Haven't we had like 5 of them already?
This team has barely been worth watching for free on Sportsnet/TSN/CBC.
Wow that Atlanta coach is pretty radical in his thinking. Activating Kovalchuk on the PP is going to leave a glaring hole in net.
I am waiting a bit to find out which Oilers team shows up, the one worth paying 16 bucks to watch, or the one that I can barely watch for free on T.V.
F#ck me.

1. I can find no feed 2. I'm almost happy with that great start
Aaaannnnd we're down already. Nice. God damn Zach Bogosian. I like that kid. Fudge.
Anyway I was going to say, I had a buddy from Chicago come up here for a few weeks in September, and I was like "okay if I say Eh he's going to bust my balls about it, so I can't say it". And I ended up saying it 10 times as much as I normally do. Psyched myself out.
Holy Freakin Crap.
Actually, I was just looking for a cute excuse for him to be in that time zone. I've never once yelled "shoot" at a game in my life. Nor do I waste my life looking up pedantic statistics. You are correct on that score, sir! I'm just here for fun, Dawg. Chill.
In other news Casey Printers mocking the mongoloids in hamilton is kind of funny

Has anyone posted the lines?
I am going to go find booze. I shall return. In my absence can someone scream obscenities at any easy targets?

Thank you random help
Much appreciated, random help[

as the password
Dammit and i just broke down and ordered the game... curse you random help, and curse me for grabbing a beer as i was ordering and not paying attention to ON...
I'm going to get a tattoo of 1970's Pat Quinn on my back. It's going to be so intimidating!
Looks like someone beat me to posting the link and password. I just found it. Hopefully it won't get too lagging.
Hedbeeeerg..
Thanks random help. Will it be the same for all the ppv games? Or is it a different password for each game?
Did Horcoff fall down there standing still? Niiiiice.
Were being outshot again, 5-1, we can win this!!!
This game makes me want to poke my eyes out with a fork.
Look at the handle bars on the ATL coach! He's really into this Movember thing huh?
they are playing pathetic. Quinn must be losing his mind.
Nice, take a one timer from the half boards. Is 1130 too early to start drinking the pain away?
*no*
That was the worst PP ever.
Thanks for feed. They need a goal!!!!!!!!!!
Cogliano is too fast. We should probably trade him.
What part of a good PP has all 5 players standing still? Move Around!!!!!
*passes JS a beer*
Nice speed on Cogs to draw another penalty tho.
now we get to see it again!!!
Not for nothing but....there is not a chance in the world that I would fork down sixteen bucks to watch this - seriously, a Sunday afternoon in November..there must be something else on...
(Spoiler alert: 900 NFL games)
I'm starting to hope for another work stopage, or, for someone to inform the OIlERS that there isn't a work stopage.
@Zamboni Driver
Apparently there is still a CFL or something. I guess it's like football but not nearly as good.
Poor garbage can is going to get boot f*cked by Quinn.
OH! MY! GOD!
*burns a hole through the crotch of his pants*
