"CHEAP" HOTELS SUCK

The Hotel's "restaurant" where I ate before the game...

OILER BROADCASTS...


I have mentioned before that I travel for work all over Oil Country. Tonight I happen to be in Grande Prairie. I am listening to the legendary Rod Phillips on-line as my Hotel was to cheap to spring for digital cable or satellite tv. I love the fact that Sportsnet and the Oilers signed a deal to broadcast more Oiler games, thus eradicating the need for PPV broadcasts. However for a guy like me that would have to go to a sports lounge to watch the game when on the road, would certainly end up paying more than the $15.00 it used to cost for PPV. It also sucks sitting in a lounge alone, trying watch a game after a long day of driving and working. there's no one to high five when the Mighty Oil score, except the locals that I don't know.


Here's a heads up to all Hotels in Alberta...DONT BE SO @#$!ING CHEAP AND SPRING FOR SOME REAL TV!! God knows your rates are unbelievably high enough, that you can afford to shell out a few extra bucks for good tv!


This whole thing has really got me pissed off as this is the first game that Hall will be playing center. I was hoping to watch that.


Sportsnet has the Flames vs. Carolina on and I'm watching the Rangers take on the Canadiens as I can't bring myself to watch the Flames game. If the Flames won while I'm not watching the Oil....I think I might just swallow a bullet!


Oil Change Mini-Series....

While I was waiting for the game to start, I watched the third installment of Oil Change. This is a great series!! You definitely get to see things that you don't normally see when it comes to professional hockey. In the third episode you see Horc's MRI when his knee got injured. The Father and Son trip the team took was a cool thing to watch, and seeing how Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall manage to live together, was quite funny.


The best part though...was when Penner (who was mic'd) was giving Ryan Getzlaf a hard time about losing to Penn's in the face off dot. Penner says..."hey Gets...you know you're 0-2 against me on draws tonight? 0-2! I thought you won a gold medal!?" That comment was worth a Gold Medal by itself! I can't wait for the fourth episode.


Anyways...


As I listen to Rod..it's now 1-0 Dallas and I'm pissed. Please, someone comment after the game on how Hall did at Center.


GO Oilers GO!
