Never has 1pm on a Saturday mattered more to us

What are you usually doing at 1pm on a Saturday? We’re usually lying on a couch, hunting through the receipts in our jeans and wondering if we really needed the three donairs we stopped and bought on the way home from the bar the night before.

But today we’re going to be lying on a couch festering in our own hangover and paying close attention to the Oilers and the Avs game. We can’t stand afternoon games at the best of times, much less one that means as much as this one does.

Now thanks to our esteemed fellow OilersNation teammate Robin Brownlee we know Garon is injured. This is big news, and it could mean that we see Roloson’s petrified husk starting in net tomorrow. If it must be so, it must be so but damnation Roloson, you need to play a darn sight better than you did on Friday.

‘Cause usually if we’re watching CBC on a Saturday at 1pm it’s because the remote is nowhere to be found and the TV is stuck on channel four. But today, it’s by choice. And the only thing we want to watch is the Oil lay a licking on the Avs and send notice that this playoff picture ain’t fully painted yet.
