Added Cheerleader vid
In Oiler news, Horcoff got injured the same day as the last mms went out, so that’s not good. They managed to still be in a couple games, but the shots are starting to lean the wrong way pretty hard, and Gagner didn’t seem to click with Hall and Eberle so Cogliano got a shot at it last game. Didn’t work out so hot either. I think we will start to see the impact of missing our two best forwards right away.
Omark kinda made himself a big deal with a spin-o-rama for his shootout move, making the Lightning cry and the rest of the world go “Hey, who is this guy?”. In my opinion the shootout can die in a fire, but I’ll be honest when I say that I got kinda excited as it happened. Don’t think he’ll try that again, but you never know. I still want to see his chip shot.
Cheer-motherfucking-leaders. Tonight.
In other league news, Ovechkin got tuned by Dubinsky. I’ve liked Dubinsky for a few years now so that was fun to see.
That HBO 24/7 is actually tomorrow night, so be sure to set your PVR’s. NHL just went HBO, and that can only be good (note: HBO is pretty much one of my favorite channels, so yeah).
Canucks retired another jersey. With the Oilers, we got lucky and had a dynasty here so we obviously got spoiled with the jersey retirements, but I think the Oilers have the right idea about them. Only once they are in the HHOF (with the exception of the first Oiler captain). Obviously this works in Montreal and Toronto’s favor as you are inducted into the hall so long as you played on those teams, but for the rest of the league I think it would set a good standard to follow. I wouldn’t mind seeing a ring of honour set up, for those second tier players (Smyth, Smith) where the player gets honoured but no jersey retired.
Bobby Ryan scored a nice backhander. Using Koivu’s stick. Shooting on his forehand. I wonder how Kevin Lowe feels about Ryan now?
Sturm got traded. Maybe.
And a bunch of other crap that I’m sure I forgot about. But now to the standings!

OKC Barons Update
The Barons are tied for third in the conference (although have played 2 more games), and Reddox and Giroux are both tied for 12th in scoring in the league with 27 points in 29 games. Omark is still in the top 20 at 19 with his 26 in 26. Those 3 are also the top 3 (in that order) for the team. JDD has a pretty terrible sv% and GAA in 10 games too.
Pools
Just wanted to point out that I destroyed Racki last week in the pool. Also, for those that are new to the pools (and this is kinda just a heads up for way way later), only 6 teams make the playoffs (which are actually the last 4 weeks of the regular season). Top 2 teams get a bye, the next 4 are part of round 1. Once we get closer to the end, I’ll start putting up what the brackets look like as well.

Time to pick favorites. So far I am going to go with Nikki( http://oilers.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=66377 ). She lives in a house with 13 other girls !!!
Solid work MetalOil
Funny Story. I posted on Facebook saying Nikki was hot on a Story on the Bears facebook page and some Sarah girl who knows Nikki asked if I knew her and she said that we may share some family. I did some research and found Nikki on her friends list and she shares the same last name as me. Maybe I should pop the question next time I go to a game. It would be convenient and she would not have to even change her name LOL.
Where do I order my calendar? I want to get a signed copy for OG77.
Sweet baby Jesus that’s a fantastic pic. Nice at the end of a loooooong day of systems and contact management seminars.
