Oilers vs. Minnesota = 5 - 0 loss (i think)
Oilers vs. Flames = 4 - 2 loss - well at least the scored twice. Well thanks to Pisani that is. Perhaps they're not over the fact that Smyth is gone. Well live with it, move on, you have to.
Autograph Session(s) at the mall tomorrow!
So some of the Oilers are positioned in very odd places at the mall. Well the places where there's alot of space, naturally, and, some where people don't go. I reckon the Gilbert, Shaggy, and Thoresen table will not have many people at it because it is Gilbert, Shaggy, and Thoresen, and it being in a place i've never been to actually. Well i've been there once. You see, where they're having the autograph sesions is in "the largest mall in the world" which I can walk most of it in less than 45 minutes. It's not very large. But anyways, they're in such a hick area. You want autographs, go there. Smid, Torres, and Hedja table! Is in the center of "where the road splits" if you were to want to get Baskin Robins or Frozen Yoghurt. I'm more so a frozen yoghurt type of girl so maybe no. HEEY, wait a second, they're in the lower level that means that all the santa stuff should still be out because the mall is having disputes with the people who put that out HAHHAH GENIUS! Unless they took it down recently? Markkanen and Pisani are located near La Vie en Rose aka my favorite bra store.

Mark Messier Day Part 2. so they seriously did announce that today would be "Mark Messier Day". It's official now. They did it at 11am today. Happy Mark Messier day everyone? I don't know why we have so many *insert name* Day! in Edmonton. I think we have one for some deceased country singer, Wayne Gretzky day?, Oilers day (in JUNE), now a Mark Messier day, blah blha balh day. and so forth. Perhaps we should celebrate them more? My dad was noting how the Mark Messier celebrations are more extravagant than the ones Edmonton gave Gretzky. Well, Messier is from St.Albert, Gretzky isn't from around this area.. so uh yes. Horray i guess?
Oilers vs. Coyotes 3 - 0 loss
At least the colors look nice? I dont' think it suits Roloson though.
About the Smyth Trade
The thing that amuses me about hockey fan communities is the hysteria. It's like, 1 player doesn't score for 1 game and everyone is saying that he'll never sign, he'll be traded, he'll be benched blah blah blah blah blah. Panic. I think it's funny. Today, Rinslet txt me with the bad news. Ryan Smyth traded to the New York Islanders. At first it was shocking you know? He's the cover boy of the Edmonton Oilers but look at his age...not to say that 30 or 31 is old but what we also got from trading him? If you look at it in a "future" perspective with Lowe seems to be quoted upon alot in the papers lately, think about the future of the team with 204392048 prospects?! We're leaching teams of their prospects in a few years they'll be nothing but dust. Ookay maybe that's pushing it, but really, what can we do with a bunch of younger people? Don't we always say that the "children are our future" blah blah blah. We'll i'm not angry at the Smyth trade. I personally don't think we'll do well in the playoffs if we even get in this year anyways. I won't be angry until July 1st if Smyth isn't an Oiler again.
There we go, my lame attempt to match Rinslet's creative post titles. Anyways, 5 - 1! Three of the goals which were scored during the second period. I listened to the last part of the second and third periods. From what I understand the Oilers played a pretty solid game apart from the third. There was also that scary 4 minute penalty to Horcoff that happened in the latter part of the second where the Thrashers dominated. Luckily there was a "break" during the power play as the period had ended. From what I understand, the PP killers did an amazing job tonight. Also it's nice to see Lupul score in this game. Let's hope he keeps this up! Same with Pouliot! <3
In the 3rd period, someone jumped Roloson? And there seemed to be quite a few problems with the Thrashers being angry about them on the verge of losing the game. Well, according to a my friend who went the Thrashers seemed pretty tired during the game.
Tonight i was talking to Wesley and we're going to go to a game next season! If the Penguins are in town WE'RE GOING! If not it'll be another team. It's going to be all good. Hahahhahaha.... if the Pens aren't in town it's Vancouver, or some other team. Calgary, blah blah blah. the bottom line is that WE'RE GOING. Unless i choose a game this season he'll go with me.. hahahaha.
