Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they’ve done
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you’re born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry

Calling For Tambellini’s Head: Copper And Blue
I’m not the only one kind of glad to see the point-streak come to a close, am I? Every game had started to gain an unnatural importance that was leading to a nervousness that I’m only comfortable with for games that actually matter. I’m glad to see it go against a team like the Avs as well because they’re simply an afterthought at the moment. They’ve got some talent but it’s still a ways away from developing. If the point-streak had ended against the Blues we’d never hear the end of it. St. Louis fans are insufferable enough as is, no need to give them any more ammo. Avs fans though? Who cares?
OK – so on to today’s oddly timed start. We last saw the Oilers at the UC about two weeks ago when the Hawks special teams had a bit of a meltdown – letting in a short handed goal and a power play. That forced OT where thankfully Marian Hossa was Marian Hossa. Things have not exactly gone well for the Oilers since. The Oilers have been defeated 9-0 in their last two games, even allowing this beauty last Friday. And yes, that goal does really remind me of this one.
Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
Getting a cab and travelling on buses
Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs
That’s entertainment, that’s entertainment
A smash of glass and a rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped up phone booth
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
Lights going out and a kick in the balls
A police car and a screaming siren
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby wailing and stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking

The Wild come into this game with a feather in their cap that few others can make so far this season. They’ve taken two points from the Chicago Blackhawks. Sure, they had to do it via the skills competition but at this point, I would imagine most teams would consider that a pretty decent bragging point. We’ll have to get used to seeing these new North Stars since they’ll be division mates coming up next year. It could get interesting, seeing as how the two fan bases already have a healthy history of mutual dislike stemming back from before the North Stars became just the Stars. At least more of a rivalry than the Hawks have with the Avs anyway…
The Wild stumbled out of the gate a bit after making a big splash in the off-season but seem to have found their footing as of late as they’re now sitting just two points behind Northwest leading Vancouver and are 6-3-1 in their last 10. Of course, that’s one against the Oilers, two against the Flames and one against the Flames. I’m only impressed by the win against the Wings, seeing as how we’ve seen how much they can actually play when they feel like it.
No one here is asking,
But there is a question of trust
You will do what looks good to you on paper.
We will do what we must.
You can carry out your noble actions.
We will carry our noble scars.
Reclamation.
These are our demands:
We want control of our bodies.
Decisions will now be ours.
