GDB 58: A contest winner and a game night

After some arguing and debating over some fun and interesting promotional ideas, we have come up with a winner for the Oiler/Flames tickets. Congrats to Mrs. Cogliano with this post:
Promote Health and Awareness for “Cancer down there”….some proceeds could be donated to “the underwear affair” (A charity event being held in June), and everyone would be encouraged to show up in their underwear. Everyone who had a doctors note proving they had been for a check up in the last 2 months or so would get a discount, and if everyone shows up in their underwear, there has to be a world record in there somewhere! Plus, if you couple it with the KY give away, its a win win…because who doesn’t love free KY? Maybe it would spawn some wrestling matches… p.s. as a single female, hoodlum, did it ever occur to you that our plan is to find some idiot of a man who is going to buy our drinks for us all night, because he thinks we’re “lonely”, and we can go home knowing that we don’t have to sleep with him because he’ll be “too drunk” (read: unable) anyways, and in the morning we can just slip away with another hilarious story to tell our girlfriends?
Wanye wasn’t a fan of this one, which makes me wonder if he has ever seen a woman in lingerie. Surprisingly even the women judges liked it.
Bear Promotions guru Lacey: “I like this one because it involved charity, and anytime you tie that in a promotion it seems to work. But what I really liked were her comments about getting the guy drunk where he can’t perform. I like devious women.”
bingofuel sent this: “I love this one, and I HATE prostate exams. But it's a good tie-in with real-world charity events, it's for a great cause and it forces men to do something hilarious instead of women always being the object of jokes or ridicule. OK, I admit it, my mom told me to write that last part.”
So congrats Mrs. Cogliano! We will get in touch with you and I’m sure you will be wearing your #13 jersey on Saturday. As promised, I will submit the idea to the promotions department for the Oil-Cats, and then you and a few of your girlfriends will FOR SURE show up in Teddy or some sort of lingerie and be honoured for coming up with the idea.
On to the game...
The Colossal Fossil will start his 14th straight game tonight, and the Oilers’ offence will get boost when JF Jacques and his ZERO points in 53 NHL games will be on the fourth line with Brodziak and Reddox.
Red-hot Zack Stortini – when the kid has three goals in six games you can use Stortini and red-hot in the same sentence -- gets the promotion and will play with Moreau and Cogliano.
The Stars are without Brad Richards, their second-leading scorer, Brendan Morrow, their emotional leader and Oiler killer Sergei Zubov, yet they have won eight of 11 since the All-star break. The Stars PP is a scorching eight for 24 in their last six home games so the Oilers have to be disciplined.
Many Oiler fans are calling for revenge when any players get run by the opposition, so do the Stars get someone to fight Penner after he KO’d Landon Wilson on January 3rd? I hope so, because when the sleeping giant wakes up he can be an impact player.
Don’t be surprised if Barch and Strudwick mix it up again too. Strudwick was really pissed in January when they met and went after Barch early in the game, because Barch ran him from behind the game before. Even after the game Strudwick hinted he wouldn’t mind another shot. Hits from behind bother him more than anything and he seems to have a memory like an elephant, so if the Oilers need a momentum change I wouldn’t be surprised to see #13 and #43 go at it again.
While the Colossal Fossil is starting his 14th straight, he has nothing on Marty Turco who is starting his 28th straight tonight.
And for those who think Avery might help the Oilers ponder this, the Stars are 20-10-3 without Avery after starting the season 8-11-4 with him.
@ DK0: If you go on you tube and put "theo peckham claude lemieux" in the search there's a couple on there that you can see pretty clearly... i had to type that in and then go near the bottom of the page and click where it said "search again showing omitted results".. The one where you can see the WOOO clearly is posted by nhl(dot)com and THE M3DICIN3
@ DK0: you know what.. ignore that.. upon further review your post said "picture", not video.. I may have a habit of not reading entire sentences.. It's a side effect of being married
FIRETRUCK!
@ Cory Dakin: Haha, yeah i found that copy too. its such low quality that you cant even print screen it into a sweet avatar. ohh and DAMMMIT!
So, I can't watch the game tonight (damned GF and her Grey's anatomy + Private Practice), so I am listening on the radio. Are the penalties that stilted in Dallas' favor?
Firetruck indeed.
Cory - how you doing tonite, I just got in from Houston and wanted to know if the wheels were still on the canoe
thats it., were going to need a Stortini Reddox Brodziak reunion with Strudwick and Staios. BRING OUT THE SNIPERS!
@ longtimefan: We actually managed to put them back on after tuesday night, but unfortunately, the crew that k-lowe-bellini brought in to fix it forgot to torque the wheels.
Me and a buddy were talking last game about this, notice how the millisecond we lose the puck in the offensive zone we abandon ship as fast as possible? We never try to put some pressure and make it difficult for them to leave their zone
Jeremy...if ur like me and forced to the computer while the wife watches her crap...
There's a game feed here:
hxxp://atdhe.net/live-tv-2.php?i=868
it's the FS Dallas feed...but it's moving pictures at least. This way you don't have to use much imagination.
MacT needs to get extra security to work behind the bench. Not a puss move at all.
@ Jeremy:
why don't you watch it online? atdhe
@ jeanshorts: He has to put a stop to the heckling... You can't coach with hurt feelings.... oh.. wait...
I can't say the pit crew is inspiring, good thing they don't work in a tire shop, carnage every where, which sums up the direction the team is going
@ DK0: It's hard to spot a team a two goal lead when you spend all your time in their zone.
So. It looks like all the teams in the West have figured out Coles one move.....
GRAB RIBEIRO GAGS!
Haha...I think they were playing Mike Tyson's punchout music while they were all wrestling/pretending to fight.
That's pretty terrible when Rolli is the one guy to go stand up for his teammates after a cheap it. Something has to change.
A while back mact took on harvey the hound and didn't need security. I guess he is softer now.
Instead of sucking it up and getting a powerplay the Fossil goes and stirs the pot. I hope we still have a man advantage after the scrum but I am doubtful.
@ The Towel Boy:
*whop - whop - whop*
When Glass Joe is taunting you...
@ Harlie Chuddy:
Well considering Moreau was tossing bombs at a guy who didn't want to be there, I don't think we're coming out of this one on top. But who knows.
Cole fights? Did he get jersied again that's why their not showing it?
Send Caveman & JFJ, Souray & Strudz out.
SEND AN EFFIN MESSAGE!!!
@ BUCK75:
haha...stupid Glass Joe.
I love the chippy games. It reminds me of a simpler time when there was no such thing as the instigator and guys weren't afraid to send a message.
Mac t will probably play Mcintyre in goal next game,the genius that he is he'll want to get tougher at that position
@ jeanshorts:
I can't agree on that one. It was a penalized play that would have maybe given us a chance at winning this game. Instead we goon it up at the wrong time in the game and we aren't left with much chance for a comeback.
P.S - i'm all for gooing it up. But not when 2 points are on the line and a comeback is still possible. Timing is everything.
we may still come out of this penalty debacle on top...
So, did Moreau lose this game for us on PIMs?
yesssss THANKS MOREAU
and by that i mean that we usually play better 4-on-4.. should have been more specific
What does Billy Graham and craig mactavish have in common?
Both can get 16,000 people to stand up and yell "Jezus Chr*st"
@ The Towel Boy:
As much as I dislike Moreau's penchant for horrendous penalties, this loss shouldn't fall squarely on his shoulders.
HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THE HITS. Jayman Master Builders must hate these kind of games.
Anyway, the whole team played terrible once again. For some reason this team can never, ever build on momentum from game to game.
Ballzy - Pulling goalie with 4 minutes left.
Who's coaching tonight?!?!?! lol
Moreau should have the C ripped off his chest.
Then again I've wanted that all year.
Fatty tries to stop the puck instead of deflecting it. Nice 5 hole control Fatty!
Yeah the whole team has blowed chunks
@ jeanshorts: Jayman better start selling some houses again...
I disagree - that 4 min penalty really screwed us up. Roli let in 2 softies though.
GAAAAAHHHH! that was actually looking like an okay PP for once.
Wow we need a new PP coach, pathetic and predictable.
Horcoff should never be on the PP.
EVER!!!!!
HEre's an idea...On a 5 on 3...How about Gilbert actually moves down from the left point when Hemsky has the puck. He is wasted standing back there...can't someone teach them to get some motion going on their PP...
When noone shows up until there's 4 minutes left...sad.
Man, Gagner is playing with some real grit lately. Getting his nose dirty in the corners. Getting into all sorts of scrums. Getting the crap beat out of him by Jack Johnson. It's good to see.
@ Jason Gregor: It would be nice, maybe then hemsky could have more options than the cross ice pass to Horcoff... which every team knows is coming
@ Jason Gregor:
So very true!!!
Take Horcoff of the PP, put Nilsson in his place (he can atleast one a pass).
Then - MOVE AROUND!!!!!!!!!
Gagner and Reddox have probbly been the best oilers...
