As the only Hot Oil fangirl still residing in Alberta's capital region, I feel it is only proper for me to attend every Oilers event.
The Oilers had been practising all of last week at the U of A's Clare Drake Arena. I finally made it out to go watch them on Friday. It was clearly infintely more important than going to class.
Observations:
-Roli's limbs look all healed up; he didn't look like he was suffering at all.
-Torres and Horcoff were looking very sharp. Both receive an A for their effort from this fangirl.
-Matt Greene has not decreased in size. Nor has the disdain that I feel for him.
-Tjarnqvist and Lupul look like they mesh quite well with the rest of the team. Also, I have discovered that Tjarnqvist is a sexy, sexy man.
-Alexei Mikhnov is enormous, and possibly quite shy. He wasn't really interacting with the other players, probably due to the language barriers.
-Igor hasn't been re-signed in secret, only to make his grand appearance at the practice.
Saturday brought about the season ticket pick up. There were autograph signings, but we arrived too late to get autographs from bigwigs Horcoff, Pisani, Roloson etc. I saw all of the rookies and some of the pther players. Mikhnov gets the award for cutest rookie, as he was just sitting there with a huge grin on his face the entire time. He can barely speak English, but he looked happy as a clam for the entire time he was sitting there signing autographs.
Saturday's observations:
-Jarret Stoll has the makings of a future captain, at least when it comes to fan relations and interacting with his teammates.
-Earlier speculation about Jan Hejda's attractiveness proves true: he is an attractive individual. His head did not look too lumpy. And unfortunately for squealy fangirls, my wedding ring detector located a wedding ring on his finger.
-The way that Tjarnqvist's eyes don't quite look in the same direction really turns me on. Alas, he has a wedding ring also.
-Raffi Torres was by far the crankiest player there. He barely looked up at anyone. Perhaps he was hung over.
-Smid is much better-looking in person than he is in his mug shot. The smirk is still present, but I'd even venture to call him good-looking. Of course, coming from me that's not saying much.
