Yeah, we stick together, but so do Flames fans, Leafs fans, Habs fans, etc. But that's not the issue. The only reason that Bourque recieved nine minutes is because he was the instigator which is an automatic 2 minutes. Then he got the five for fighting because he dropped his gloves and pounded the dude like he was on UFC doing a "ground and pound" the 10 minute is an automatic for being the instigator and the other 2 for roughing.....not sure where that came from, but he should have had 7 for sure. Either way, its a non-issue as the Flames killed it off and built momentum from it. Great game all in all. I do find it funny that Canadian fans all think that there is a conspiracy from Bettman against the Canadian teams. I hear about it ALL the time on the Oilers board that I am on, and I think it's ridiculous there too. I do think that there are refs who have it in for certain teams or certain players for some odd reason, but I do not think that it has anything to do with the league forcing them to handicap the Canadian teams.

Great pics man. Thanks for posting.

I hope that you're right, I really do. I am super stoked for this season. Did you hear Eric Cole's interview on After Hours on Saturday? He said that he has the same feeling that he had during the early season in 05/06 when they won the cup. Stillman said to him that he had a feeling, the perfect mix of vets and youth and big things could come. Cole basically said that he has that same feeling. I hope he's right. But I also know it's early in the season and that predicting a cup, or a trip to the finals, is just a tad pre-mature. But a man can dream, can't he? GO OIL!

Ok, by FAR the best effort the guys have put on the ice so far this season. I know it's only three games old, but the first two games they were badly outshot and out played and the goaltending saved thier collective asses. But tonight, tonight was a different story, a MUCH different story. They took the play to the fLAMES, out shooting and out chancing them at every turn. And the biggest stat of all.....they out performed them on faceoffs.....by winning 56% to thier 44%. Awesome game, awesome effort. Bertuzzi's goal was fricken SWEET though......

I think in order to have someone pick up only half of his contract, he would have to clear waivers, get assigned to Springfield (even if only on paper) and then called back up. Whoever picks him up on re-entry waivers would then be obligated to only half of his contract.

I honestly think they would be better off dumping Roli and his salary and sticking with Deslaurier. Frees up a roster spot for someone like Brule, or even Schremp to join the team. So far as last nights game goes, over all, it was a MUCH better effort to be sure. Garon is definitely the man in Edmonton and has been spectacular to date. However, if they don't get this face-off situation under control, they are going to be in BIG trouble.

I never said Policeman's sucks, I said that I suck. I do need to hire Max for a morning or an afternoon to learn this damn river and how to find fish in it, and once I do, how to catch em. I have received numerous amounts of advise on what to do, but until someone actually takes me and SHOWS me (I learn better that way), it's not going to help me too much. I will continue to walk and wade this river hunting for fish. I am sure I will get skunked more days than not, but I won't let it discourage me......too much.

I figured if there was a Flames thread, I could make an Oilers one. Seems to be enough Oil fans on here to pull it off Had to wait almost a week longer to get the season started, but worth the wait! An ugly win, but a win none the less. Garon really proved why he's the #1 in Edmonton, backstopping a team that had trouble putting shots on goal in the preseason which seems to have carried forward into the regular season. Badly out shot, and often out played, the Oil managed to pull out a win on opening night in their own barn. Penner's big body in front like that is going to cause a lot of havoc for the rest of the 'tenders in the league! GO OIL!

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I walked and waded at Policeman's only once, and got skunked too. Not that it should be all that suprising, I get skunked everytime I go. Was out for three or four hours this morning down stream of s**thole in Fish Creek park and was skunked mightyly. Just par for the course for me.

uh.....okayyyy

Happy Birthday dood

That's Nucking Futs man!

LOL Sounds about right!

stupid link didn't work...... Chuck Norris always has sex on the first date. Always.

Just for sake of making your life easier.....I saw one of these, or many, at Fish Tales too.

My brother shot me in the face with a pellet gun once. Hit me in the cheek. Hip shot too. Didn't know it was loaded, thought he was dry firing. Impressive shot, but I was NOT impressed. Hurt like a :$*%&:

I'm not sure if she's Elbonian or not, but my mother in law can.

Wow. That's impressive. I wonder if they will ever catch him? I wonder how many copycats there will be?

That's certainly what it looks like.

wtf does it do?

Yeah, rest likely will be the best thing for me, but not yet. The weather is just too nice tomorrow to pass up the morning to hit the Bow I'll load up on Aleve or something before I head out, I am sure that will help. Has in the past. If that doesn't work, I still have some percocet kicking around

Agreed.

Now, how did I know I was going to get a bunch of smart ass responses.......lol Anyway, I guess time will tell. Stretching and strengthening seems to be the common cure. And rick, don't worry, I have zero interest in spey casting. At least, at this point.
