Oilers @ Sharks, 1/2/10 - The Spiral Continues

by Derek Zona on Jan 2, 2010 8:56 AM PST in News Comment 3 comments

Even though we are all still fans, there is a certain schadenfreude in what is happening to the Oilers right now. Yes, it's terrible to lose, and yet at the same time, there is satisfaction that the vast majority of our off-season predictions are coming true.

Seems like half of the Sharks roster made an Olympic team, including the entire first line.

The Sharks are on a seven game winning streak. The Oilers may never have one of those again.

The Oilers may come out a bit flat tonight. As you may have heard, they had some dispute over a bar tab in Calgary.

A non-Sharks item of note: The Blues have fired Andy Murray. Ex-Blue Craig MacTavish had to be intrigued when he heard that.

What about ex-Blue Wayne Gretzky? I hear he’s got coaching experience.

You think Davidson would be inclined to bring in Gretzky?

No, I’m pretty sure he’s smarter than that.
