Edmonton Oilers

Cree Nations

An Ode to Hockey

Hockey skates....oh how I love you so!
The smell of your used leather...the touch of your ratty laces
Hockey Skates....oh how I love you so!

Hockey stick....oh how I love you so!
The feel of your cracked shaft and taped blade against my skin
Hockey stick....oh how I love you so!

Hockey fights....oh how I love you so!
The fury of the hands and the bloody smiles
Hockey fights...oh how I love you so!






Here we go Oilers....HERE WE GO!!!!

No but Center Ice Online is free for the pre-season....


Looks like the first line tonight will be Penner/Gagner/Hemsky....cannot wait to see them play actual competition as I do not count the inter-squad game (aka Joey Moss Cup) as anything big...although they did have 13 combined points...I think Gagner may make the show this year.....

I think so too but we will have to see. Some of those guys I get worried about...like when they take the first big monster hit, are they gonna git up?


Fucking Shaweet, I now have an official excuse to listen/watch the game and drink a couple beers

I kind of think he might make it this year too. He's insanely good....total sniper around the net. Can't wait to see him in action tonight. That line was looking pretty sweet yesterday, hope they can keep it up!!

So who shoudl I get on my Oilers jersey...I got the authentic home jersey given to me for Christmas last year and still need to get the name/number put on the back....who should I go with....I am debating between Stoll (cause I love the man....and he is a good old Saskatchewan boy...), Hemsky or maybe Gagner if he pans out like I think he will.....

Anyone else hear have an Oilers jersey and what name/number do you have on it....???

I have an authentic home jersey and I have no name or number on it. Just leave it plain!!! My sister has an authentic third jersey and left hers plain too....

I have this cool retro zipper sweater thing I bought the year before last. Damn gf borrowed it last year and then the Oilers went straight into the toilet on their losing skid. Gots to get that back asap. I would like to get an old original with either messier, Gretzky, or Semenko on the back

Let's hope the Canucks can get through their early injury trouble they had in their inter-squad game...but enough of the 'Nucks...I am just pumped to finally have a fresh slate for the year.....no more lose your 18 of last 20 games....

ALSO THANK EVERTYTHING HOLY THAT TOBY PETERSON IS NOT WITH THE OIL ANYMORE!!!!

Sorry but I had to yell that....:)

I couldn't agree with you more, let the kid play. The Oil are famous for taking these kids that are hot hot hot and shoving them down in the juniors.....give him a chance!

Prepared for your intelligence to be taken down to another level....

You will get lipped beyond comphrension but when I went to a game at Schanks last year in Calgary....I had the last laugh when we won....although between drunk 40 year olds and barely of age girls telling me to fuck myself it was an okay time...you have been warned.....

Okay honest opinions Oiler's faithful what do you think of the new silks....I like the home jersey but the away jersey seems very practice like...it really misses the horizontal striping on the bottom....then again I will get used to them....but at least their homes look pretty sharp....good be a lot worse though.....

I do like them....I agree and totally like the home more than the away. But you are SO right, it could be worse and there are WAY worse out there.

Right now he is making the show....without a doubt....him, Hemmer, and Penner have a spark.....I hope he sticks around....we need a number one center regardless of age.....Horcoff is a good overall player but not a number 1 guy.....

use schremp and give us gagner back
