Were you a part of any of the Cup for a day celebrations? So if you missed my first article, the answer is no, my dad never got the Stanley Cup for a day. But there was no shortage of celebrations for Cap’n Rod… be sure to check out part one for some good chuckles….
Were you ever involved in any ‘cup for the day’ celebrations? Well, I’ll just start with this: my dad was never given the Stanley Cup for a day, so he never got to take it to his hometown of Calmar or anything…but no complaints because he was a big part of celebrations. So many great…
Which interesting Edmontonian would you want to attend an Oilers game with and why? Did I just Google ‘interesting Edmontonians?’ Did I find any results? No, it went straight to weird and unique facts about Edmonton, ‘big facts’ about Edmonton, ‘what is Edmonton famous for?’ So it would appear that Google is having just as…
As I sit here and watch the Oilers take on the Carolina Hurricanes my brain just continues to go back to 2006. How would it not? So here are some of my random thoughts from the last time we had so much fun with summer hockey: Rod Brind’Amour had the biggest legs I’ve ever seen….
Why do players wear suits on game day? It seems so restrictive when I’d want something comfortable! I hear this, so loud and so clear! After my last article just chatting nonsense, including players’ styles back in the 1990s, I got the comment and question about game day attire. And when you think about it,…
We came out of the game hot, folks, but things have since slowed down in the Questions for Quinn segment. In all honesty, I have made up a few, trying to give you a taste of what I can talk about, but eventually that makes a girl feel real narcissistic so it’s time for readers…
If you could ask athletes or coaches from any other team for their thoughts on the Oilers, who would it be and why? Oh man, is this an interesting one! I’d really love to hear your thoughts on this as well, so leave them in the comments below. The easy thing would be to ask…
What are the most ‘instagrammable’ spots at Rogers Place? This one is for all the Instagram models, of which I am NOT! I’m going to give you my thoughts on the three most ‘instagrammable’ spots at Rogers Place. These are in no particular order. Any of the grandiose walls with decals of players past and…
(Why yes that is a reference to the not-so-cult-classic Captain Ron movie!) What is it like watching games with your dad (Rod Phillips) now? I’ll start by saying it’s something I am finally used to now. When he was calling the games, he missed some games due to nose bleeds. The team went on the…
Darryl Katz leaves you the team, what do you do with it? Ok, so let’s pretend the feature image above isn’t me and my brother Devin accepting a photo on behalf of my dad of the Media Wall of Honour members at Rogers Place – instead, it’s me being presented the keys to the team….
What are your favourite Christmas memories growing up around the team? I know how lucky I was to be able to spend the holidays around the Oilers. Every year I looked forward to the skating parties with the team. I don’t know if it’s the same, but you got to get out on the Coliseum…
Which ex-oiler PO’d you the most when they moved on or were traded? I can’t believe I missed this question from one of my earlier articles, because this is a good one. I’m sure a lot of people my age can lean towards the storied departure of Chris Pronger. That was painful, there’s no doubt….
