Last night, the Oilers got blown out 4-0 by their provincial rivals from Calgary (spits). Seeing as how this was a preseason game, the natural reaction for many is to freak the fuck out.
I didn't see the game, but it sounds like a real stinker, with the Oilers managing something like 19 shots against the guy who's going to open the door to the Flames's bench this year.
Mac T doesn't sound happy, and who can blame him? The team is starting the season with a tough schedule with 12-15 on the road and need to get their shit together before then. Me, I'm inclined to think it'll actually be good for them to get away from the slush of Rexall and the clearly insane fanbase and focus on playing hockey. If not, well, it's better to burn out than fade away.

The game was pathetic. I understand its pre-season but you'd think that some of the veterans would turn in at least half of an effort. The only line that looked half decent was the kid line. Guess we'll see what happens when the real season rolls around... which can't arrive soon enough.
Who the fuck killed themselves on January 10th? What a loser...
I could care less. They'll show up when it counts next Sunday.
What happened to the Calgary article about choking? Did they suddenly not become a city of chokers?
Denis Grebeshkov is now tied for the team lead in points. LOL!
Correction: Denis Grebeshkov now commands the lead in points.
