GDB XLII: Oil meets water
By bingofuel
14 years agoI just got back from being out in the country… Breathing in the country air, eating country foods, rasslin’ country dogs, and watching the World Juniors: fast-paced and inspiring hockey.
It’s a new year, and this bout of relaxation was much-needed. But I’m still confused as to what I should be cheering for here in the OilersNation: wins or losses? Should the team tank the season, secure in the knowledge that things cannot possibly get better? Or can things *actually* improve and bring the Oilers within striking distance of a playoff spot. And the most important question of all: will a sequel to Striking Distance ever be made?
No more streaks
Or, rather, no more losing streaks. When the Oil beat the Leafs on Wednesday, I thought we might be on the verge of something fabulous for 2010. Then, on New Year’s Eve, they blew it against the Flames… Then they went and blew a bunch of dough at Osteria — hilariously the favourite restaurant of my parents who still cheer for the Oilers. I’m not sure what really happened, but it doesn’t sit right with me. You’re rich — pay your extravagant bill!
And win hockey games!
I dont’ have much to say, because I feel out of the loop, but I’d like to see discussion on the following in the GDB:
- Tipping in general
- The Dive for Five
- Steven Segal’s prowess in his new "cop" profession
The Oilers are going to drown the Sharks. 2-1 in OT.
