Pat Kane = Dany Heatly 2.0

In case you haven't heard, or figured enough about life to understand yet, Patrick Kane has embarked on the journey to Alcoholics Anonymous. Once I had the happy opportunity to drive a drunk-driver-en-route-to-jail-time to an AA meeting - the only thing I remember was a movie they showed about alcoholism; and Kane is as near to a certainty as you're likely to meet. We all know the type: party guy who always stays until the bar shuts, the party on it's last legs. The ones who can never say never, etc. Great drinking buddies to be sure, so long as they're not your roomate. I've now decided to like Pat kane. For one thing, he's got sublime hockey skill, and I'm always a fan of that. Secondly, he's human, a bit of a fool, and now, instead of worrying about beaten up cab drivers or just-choked young ladies, we can all sit back, relax, and enjoy the soap opera. Last night, LA Kings beat the Phoenix Coyotes. Kings sure look like they're going to the finals, but I'm pulling for the Yotes, with their three ex-Oiler rejects.

Best Non-Oilers Playoff year ever! ....... Currently on May 4, 2012, the following teams are in action: ......plus..... My reasons to like each team: .... .... Capitals - Ovie shuts them up. .... .... Yotes - fave hope left, after the Blues bow out. Unlikely comedy developing. ..... Preds - faceless team, Trotz great! ..... Kings - help forget Gretzky, original six(sic) expansion team + Eddie Joyal.

STAND UP Taylor Hall FFS

Taylor Hall must learn to stay on his feet, unless he's going to crash and burn out of hockey.

My suggestion is to fine Hall $100.00 every time he falls to the ice. Make it into a contest. Whatever. With everyone following him getting fined after every game, he's bound to get the message.

RE PREDICTIONS OILERS TANK: With that ridiculous unbeaten run of late(5-0-2 methinks), they're now out of 29th and will probably not return to that spot, if anything time to worry about the next 2-3 teams above because none of them are tearing up much and oiler's are too close to fucking up the season, and am frankly, sick of it. So, not many if any more posts for awhile.

Predictions to March 24, 2012

Oilers will be without Taylor Hall from the look of things. Terrible, sad, inevitable news. Unless Taylor Hall learns how to play hockey without falling on the ice ten times a game, he's going to have a frustrating and short career. Anyway, oiler's(I refuse to capitalise this until they start playing like a real hockey team instead of losers, sheesh) with Hall I figured were good to spit the next 8 points coming up, with games against the Yotes, Preds, Bolts, and Florida. oilers win streak comes to an end next game, either way it's a 4 point week until March 24, 2012. Then, they will have 67 points. New scary team to watch out for with the tank: Islanders. Habs, after seeing how good the oil were at tanking, decided not to bother, and

are out of the race.

HUNTER1909'S FEARLESS PREDICTION FOR OILERS TOTAL POINTS TO BE GAINED BETWEEN MARCH 1 AND MARCH 17, 2012:

Oiler's current point total: 56

add: Oiler's expected
points total 7 points


Total amount of points Oiler's expected to have by march 17, 2012: 63 points.

TOP TANKING RIVAL = Montreal Canadiens! All the best, Jean Beliveau let's hope the Habs can win a few for you between March 1 and 17. You guys play nearly all BAD teams, and most are Canadian; Also at least 2 games with Buffalo, all which guarantee at least 2 points between the teams on the night. Oilers need to make up ground here for sure!


hunter1909 1-0 record so far: last time, predicted oilers would end up with 57 points. therefore: WIN 1-0 record; next hunter1909's prediction on March 18, 2012.

Having calculated how many points yours truly expects the oilers(lower case until they start playing properly) to end up with close to or near to:

57 points

By the end of February.

As a wholehearted proponent of tanking the season(the higher oilers pick, the better likelihood of them adding another genius), am concerned about the following teams in the race for 29th: Buffalo worries me the most.

Lose these Turds

I haven't been watching the Oilers too carefully this year, thank fuck.

Barry Trotz should be poached from the Nashville Predators. Dude knows what day it is.

Tom Renney is a bad coach. Anyone can have superstars(he gets zero credit for the Kid Line). Renney's fucked up the Swedes, and all of those other things like pulling the goalie last night. he's lost the team, and needs to go.

Shawn Horcoff is a washed up third liner, who should be in the AHL, or pressbox. If I was the coach I'd bench him, at least make him a healthy scratch.
