oilers all the way

Well as everyone should be well aware the Oilers beat the flames last night. The game was kind of quiet, but it had its moments. The flames took an early lead due to some slight mismanagement of the puck in front of the Edmonton Net. Luckily the Oilers soon had a 5 on 3 opportunity and they capitalized in great fashion. And then with 6 minutes left to play Sykora (one of my new favorite Oilers) slipper her in the net.

Now I am glad the Oilers kicked as, but what I dont understand is how, with a minute and a half left to play, and the Flames on the Powerplay...why did they take so long in pulling kipper. It made on sense why, when the face off is in the oilers end, you dont just start the play with a 6 on 4. Anyway i am sure all you hocky gurus out there understand why, but i do not, and that is why i was even more happy that the oil won....because the flames obviously did not want to win that bad.

Tonight I am off to the Saddledome with Kraig to cheer on the flames. Yes thats right i am going to route for the flames. I am not sure how good the game will be, but it should be fun hanging out with Kraig and having some Nachos and Jalepenos. I dont think i am going to be drinking tonight, cause i had a few last night, and tomorrow is the office christmas party. So if i were to drink tonight that would end up with like a 5 day drinking week, and nothing good can come of that.

So with all that said, i guess i better get to the game. Have a great night
