Western Conference Finals
Wow. So much has happened since my last post. No time to write, my life has been consumed by this years NHL playoffs. I have been attending all the Edmonton Oilers home playoff games, and catching all the away games in front of my widescreen. Man, this has been a wild ride so far and it can only get better. When I last wrote the Oilers were up 3 games to 2 against the President trophy winning Detroit Red Wings. Shows how important the president’s trophy is…Wings out in the first round. I get drunk, my throat gets sore. Oil move on to round 2 against the Sharks, a team that boasts the Art Ross and Rocket Richard trophy winners. Screw the Sharks, Fuck you Cheechoo! Oilers win round two in six games on home ice. I get even more drunk and I can barely speak. I can’t believe it! The Oilers are in the final four baby! I have been waiting a long time for this to happen! The western final has now begun. The Edmonton Oilers vs. the fucking Mighty Ducks? Are you frickin kidding me? Disney’s team against Canada’s team? Ducks don’t stand a chance, I don’t care if Emilio Estevez is the coach or not! Look at the teams we have beaten so far. Are you telling me that we are going to lose to the Anaheim Lame Ducks? No way Bombay! As I write this the Oilers have taken the first two games, on the road no less, and return to their home rink to play game three tomorrow night and move one game closer to sweeping the series. I love this game. I love this city. I love this team. I am having more fun than I can ever remember. I love the fact that it hurts to swallow now from all the cheering and screaming I have been doing in between beers. Let me put it this way…
The Oilers are 2 wins away from playing in the Stanley Cup Final. THE FRICKIN’ STANLEY CUP!!
Have fun with this Edmonton, it’s been a long time but Stanley will be returning to our sheet of ice soon. Last cup win was 1990. There were many years that had passed when we wondered if we would ever get this close again. Well here we are. Enjoy it. If you don’t already have one, go out and get your car flag and drive around with your fist pounding your horn. WE ARE GOING ALL THE FUCKING WAY BABY!! YEAAHHHH!
Oh, one more thing, if you have any family or know anyone in Calgary keep calling them to remind them of their first round loss to the Ducks and rub in how much fun we are having in the playoffs this year. Ask them if the flaming “C” on the jersey stands for “Choke”. Give them the old “Having a great time, wish you were here” routine. God knows we had to listen to enough of their shit for the last couple of years. I will close out this post with some Flames jokes just because I do hate them so. I know you may have already heard some of these jokes before and that the jokes might be lame, but so are the flames so here we go...
What's the difference between the Calgary Flames and a cigarette machine?
The cigarette machine has Players.
What's the similarity between the Calgary Flames and the Titanic?
They both looked good until they hit the ice.
Why doesn't Red Deer have a professional hockey team?
Because then Calgary would want one too.
What is the similarity between the Calgary Flames and a tea bag?
They're both only good for one cup!
