#155 - How dyou like them Oilers?

More often than not I have been finding myself staring at the bottom of coffee cups, steamed milk being the only thing I can inhale nowadays. The more I consume in coffee, the more fluid leaks from my brain. They tell you about the hardships, but they never tell you how much you crave sleep. After all, you never know how how much you need it after you lost it. And fuck I am knackered alright? How am I meant to post on current events when I don't have caffeine pumping in my veins?

Nowadays is over, Jordi is back with well... One or two things. And Draft Day is rarely a very exciting topic, to the casual fan or even the regular fan. However one thing is for sure, Wedden (Wade Redden of course, not his stupid brother Wedden Redden) was not traded for Lupul and shiny picks. And it seems that we have welcomed three gentle players with outstretched arms (Counting the Habs, I do have in total 5 squee babies to worship and of course, abuse). I introduce to you, the three musketeers of the troubled Oilers Franchise.

(Other er, things include the Hot-Oil take, the abusive BoA open post, and the CinO droplets. Oh and the Fanhouse 4 question grill on Gagner, he don't like the 5-hole ladies.)

Sam Gagner is, according to Hannah, insanely hot. Though he has a smile like Greg Brady, he's not slouch in the looks department. Boasting some flashy stats, one can only hope he doesn't deflate like a cheap hooker. Nice pick K Lowe, I mean grabbing a hottie so the girls don't miss Lupul too much when I kick his sorry ass to Kansas.

Alex Plante was born with a gift, you could say he was a special child. The little Calgary boy would dream every day of being an Oiler while every other kid was cattle roping or whatever it is they do in Calgary. When his father gave him a hockey stick, he rode it all the way to Edmonton, knocked on Kevin Lowe's door, and he got the magic words of Mr Lowe: "You're hired".

Riley Nash sounds like a rockstar, unfortunately he never really got into that line of work (I mean most rockers have to make a stage name, he already has one!). The ginger kid is apparently a little "soft", which probably will translate to erectile dysfunction. But with all those problems, it'll probably make him madder and many will then quake in their boots to hear the words "RILEY NASH!".

And look you Leafs fans, I may not like you much, you're all probably great and awesome people in real life but in Hockey terms, you're the old lady who kicks kitties. The fact that now you've got Toskala in on the deal is probably awful because I bet he loves kitties and thinks they're fun to play with. But you know... trade him. You don't need him you know? You know?
