OK bad memories aside, I should talk about Rampage on the recently watched videos.

Oilers traded Smid plus an AHL goalie to Calgary for two prospects.
Oilers acquired Bryzgalov on a one year contract.
What the fuck.
We snagged Horak from Calgary, who is a pretty solid center. The problem is, we don't really need another center. We need some solid defense, and a better goaltender. Bryz is a solid goaltender -- he was left out to dry in Philly and didn't perform well there, and I have worries that he's going to get hung out to dry in Edmonton as well, since our defense is just as shitty as the Flyers was. Then again, Bryz has always maintained >.900 save percentage, which is something that we kind of need right now. Even in his shittiest year with the Flyers, he was still better than Dubnyk is right now. Hopefully they will be able to push each other during the season.
The problem with Bryz seems to come in the playoffs, but it's not like we're making the playoffs this year anyways.![]()
There's always next year.
Unless you're the Lions *yeah, I went sidetracked but hold on*
I mean, the new blood they did draft only stapled a fucked up defense and the latest game between them and the Cowboys, I saw more fumbles than words in the dictionary. I hate seeing a team I like fail.

I'm going to recap every Oilers game I've watched this year:
> drop pass
> turnover
"FUCKING HELL EBS, JUST TAKE THE SHOT!"
> drop pass
> turnover
"GODDAMMIT NUGE THAT NEVER WORKS!"
> five solid minutes in our zone, swarm defense, leaving their star center open in the slot
> goal
"fucking hell guys, why did you leave Ovechkin open in front of the net?! COVER YOUR MAN"
> drop pass
> turnover
> shot from center ice
> goal
"DUBNYK WHAT THE FUCK!? THAT WAS LIKE 100 FEET AWAY HOW COULD YOU NOT STOP THAT?!"
"FINISH YOUR CHECKS GUYS, YOU'RE LETTING THESE GUYS WALK AROUND IN OUR ZONE UNTOUCHED"
"SHOOT THE FUCKING PUCK"
"THAT FANCY ASS SHIT DOESN'T WORK YAK, WHAT THE FUCK"
"THANK YOU ARCOBELLO, YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS TEAM I LIKE RIGHT NOW"
Right around here is where I get drunk. That usually covers the first period.![]()
Downloaded a radio app so I could listen to the start of the game tomorrow.
WE'RE PLAYING PHILLY AT 10AM, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT
Don't worry, I have enough bashers on choice teams for the both of us. Oddly enough only Red Wings I rarely speak about. Probably because of it's relatively good track record. No all time lows, a decent team for a fucked up city.
Eh, I'm in Cali as of now so our times should be close, 9 going on 10 PM.
