PRE-GAME
Despite finishing in the basement last season, the Oilers took 3 of 4 meetings against the Wings. Motor City will probably enjoy their trip to Oil Country this time around though. The Red Wings (7-2-1) are playing great hockey right now so it will a tough game for the Oilers (3-5-2) to pull out, so if we’re going 3 of 4 this year, I expect tonight might be that loss. The Oil showed some great fight last game after giving up an early lead, but no way can we go down 3-0 and expect to win games. A strong first period will be the key to any success tonight.
Datsyuk will be a player to watch tonight. He’s had a solid start and has 8 points in his last 6 games. Our boy Ebs is trying to keep up with 6 points in his last 7.
Prediction: Heartache…

Holy shit, the Wings are 7-2-1? I’ll consider us the free spot on the bingo card tonight.
The Blues are 7-1-2 so far and lucky me, I have Howard and Halak in one of my hockey pools.
Yeah, tonight should not be pretty. Honestly, I think I’ll go out for date night with the wife. I fully expect our D to be jail raped tonight.
Then again, we did go 3 for 4 on these guys last year. I know they will be eager to change that record as Listrom even mentioned it in his post practice interview. Renney even said “This game will be a good lesson for us.” Help!
Oiler-Wing games almost always go to OT/Shootouts so I think this will be a close one. Not gonna try picking a winner though.
I am surprised that the whole Mark Seidel story has not gotten all that much attention nationally. Good to see that the media can see the weed out non story’s, I fully expected this to turn into some sort of circus today.
I’m changing my vote…. 6-4 Oilers, final answer.
“Back home we don’t even have paint on the walls of our house, just a whole bunch of 4s.”

“3 people that told me this story stand by it but I’m now unsure of context so someone is lying but I don’t know who. Im sorry I posted it!!!”
-Mark Seidel-Twitter(3hours ago)
If this is his real twitter account(It looks legit) then it looks like he is trying to backpedal his way out of this thing now.
I also now wonder if Mark Seidel is the one who Twitter-Killed Pat Burns?????????????????
That for sure is Mark Seidel’s twitter. And yah, what a stupid story. I was pretty certain it was false from the get go, so you think the guy would do a better job of fact checking.
“3 people told me this story stand by it..”
Were any of the 3: Kevin Lowe, Taylor Hall or Taylor Hall’s dad? Didn’t think so.
Yeah, I wonder if it gets mentioned on HNIC at all. I doubt it since it’s a CBC story. Typical. I bet Milbury would like to talk on it, but won’t be allowed. Same with Cherry. Maybe the guys on Hockeycentral will rip this dude a new one.
