as my grandmother used to say. Can't remember anything specific about the Oilers game on the 16th except to say that the Canucks won and there were no fights. It was an entertaining game, though, and the defense looks like it is starting to get it together. Let's hope the offense starts doing this soon.I'm not going to comment much on away games because my attention span is short and when it is on teevee there seems to be hundreds of other things to distract, namely Husband, rats and cat. Chances are I will miss something important. Going to the game is a whole different thing as where we sit we can see the entire rink (no blind spots) and we can watch plays unfold. On teevee we are at the mercy of the broadcasting crew as to what we should see. The new goalie didn't look too bad once he got over being shellshocked.
Have to make a general complaint though. Linden sitting? Huh? Of all the people to be crapping on? Why not some of the people making more money and expected to score and don't have a point yet. How about those that are minuses? I don't know about this coach. He sits Linden, doesn't play Luongo against a division rival in what is a 4 pt game and then does something so cool like pulling the goaltender near the end of the game. Odd. The jury is still out, but I am tipping towards the nay side. Then again, he isn't Crawford.
Righteous weekend for sports fans - back to back hockey with the Canucks and then FOOTBALL! on Sunday.
Next home game: Friday, October 27 when Ovechkin and some other guys from Washington come to town.
