Oilers fans will fall into one of three camps on Sunday, Feb 1, 2008.
Camp One
People who say “There’s a football game today?” as they happily bundle themselves into their cars and head to RX1 to watch the Oilers play the Predators at noon on the very same Sunday as Superbowl 43.
Camp Two
People who say “There’s an Oilers game today?” as they happily sit on their couch watching hour 498 of Super Bowl pre-game coverage documenting the early trials and tribulations of Pittsburgh Tight End Sean McHugh in excruciating detail.
Camp Three
Easy going fans who will switch back and forth between the two games, watching the Oilers if they are winning and tuning in to catch the end of the fourth quarter.
Whatever camp you are party to we salute you. We sort of fall into Camp three except that we love Super Bowl parties so very much. By the time you read this, in fact, we are most likely already on our way to Wobbly Town due to the Bud Light Express.
In any event, it sucks that the Oilers play before the Super Bowl. Unless they beat the Predators of course.
Then it was the greatest idea that was ever hatched.
Superbowl 43 Prediction: We will win the annual Coin Toss bet against our boy Smigerowski. Believe that.
Wanye shakes his empty glass demanding it be refilled with delicious rye telling me off that I am only done half my drink… Man I love superbowl sunday, I will be seeking slumber once again under someones kitchen table.
WOW how did that not go in???????
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I love being an Oiler fan…. Another game, another loss to a team mile below them in the standings.
@ baggedmilk:
And a shovel and a sh1t sack
Hey Baggedmilk, I was at that very Phoenix game you were at back in November. The Florida one right?
Game over…how can we suck 36 hrs after one of our best games!!! Like someone said before, it's tough being an Oilers fan!!
So, did the whole team stay up and watch the Aussie Open last night too?
Where is the urgency? I thought we were 70000-0 in afternoon games.
WOW WHAT A GOAL!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HEMMER
HEMMEERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great pass by Nilsson. Saucy!
too bad it wasn't 1-1 now…
Wow edmontonoilers.com already has a headline "Hemsky has the Oilers within one"
I have a bet with the OilersNinja how many seasons Hemsky has played in the league. That's the only reason I go there.

Yeah you bet. It was a who cares game but I was really into the cheerleaders in the stands and the ladies on the ice.
Moose Jaw wins the Score and Win!

You have no right to talk about finesse, Hemsky or goal scoring.

There were a shîtload of Canadians out for that game. A lot of people come down for that weekend for Nascar and especially that weekend cause they had a Monday Night football game which I doned my Oilers jersey for.
He's bleeding!!
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER
Engage Powerplay. This is the time to lock and load Oil
this team reminds me of Minny.

Don't you ever quote PJ Stock again.
That is not the PP you need at this stage of the game.
I hope Craig Craptavish is taking notes in his stupid pad about how to execute the perfect p.k.

Word up RBK.
good thing they concentrated on the PP in practise.
Still, there is time for the Oilers Last Two Minute Crush TM to strike…
Well, the last time I wrote the Oil off they scored…You suck Oilers you will never score again…good luck!
Come on boys
