C'mon Edmonton

Nothing pisses a Canadian off more than seeing a canadian NHL team lose a playoff game, nothing except maybe a long line at Timmy's in the morning. If you don't follow hockey, tonight the Edmonton Oilers got their asses handed to them by the Carolina Hurricanes in game two of Lord Stanley's Cup Finals.

Edmonton just took way too many penalties and by the last half of the third period when they were down 5-0, they just sort of lost interest. Hopefully they can pull something out of their ass for the next game in Edmonton and actually win, though without Roloson it doesn't look good. I gotta say, Carolina's defensive tactics are amusing. Their strategy of falling all over their goaltender to block the net seems to have paid off.

My time spent living in Calgary seems to have engraved a vehemont hatred for Edmonton into the soul of my being, but you know what, as long as the Cup comes back to Canada, I don't give a shit what team wins it for us. So pick it up boys!

The next two games are in Edmonton, so I hope the hometown crowd can rally the troops. If the Oilers don't win the next game, I predict a Carolina Cup victory.
