Um, yeah.
In my impromptu week-in-review (my "real" life has recently been keeping me too busy to post daily), here are the things that stand out for me:
1.) It appears Katz is finally buying the Oilers, yes? Or no? With the Writer's Strike grinding on, maybe we can make the negotiations into some mind-numbing reality viewing? No? Thank goodness. I feel woefully unable to comment much meaningfully on this as a non-local, so I'll leave it at the stating the obvious.
2.) Horc's shoulder injury sucks.
3.) We traded our only Swedish player, as Garnet predicted. This prevented a dangerous build-up of defensemen on our roster. (wipes brow)
4.) What pagan god did MacT and KLowe offend to provoke this season's injuries?!
5.) Did you know Henrik Lundqvist of the Rangers has a twin? Neither did I. Now what?
6.) I enjoyed the clip they kept showing over the weekend of Giguere freaking out in the box and kicking things, while Porn-stache Parros looked on stolidly. At least we can still take entertainment from someone else's woes.
7.) Did I mention that with Horc out, we are utterly up the creek without a paddle?

Is Robert Nilsson no longer Swedish? Bleep Tarnström was our only Swedish defenseman...
It may be a sucky time to be an Oiler fan, but consider the bright side: at least we can make plans for April-June. Other fans are stuck in hopes of a long playoff run (à la Oilers 2005-06). Oiler fans, on the other hand, have an open calendar!
I either forgot about the Calgary-born Nilsson -- forgetting him can be easy to do most nights -- or he wasn't with the club at the moment. Last night's game was fun, though. Games like that will be rare, so let's savour them.
