Oh Captain, New Captain

Dear Oilers players,

Better looking people do prosper.

Signed,

The Fans

Behind the Glasses

There was an extensive profile on superfox MacT in the Journal yesterday. It's an interesting read, if only for the shout-out to Hot Oil and its commenters:

Part of his local fame, with female fans at least, derives from his looks. Readers of the website Hot-Oil.blogspot.com recently voted him as the hottest Oiler in team history, dubbing him the Silver Fox. "Not only is he hot, he has the best vocabulary -- you'll always learn a new word listening to him (and oh, what a voice)," said one smitten fan.

"MacT has a George Clooney-esque deliciousness about him," wrote another.

There you have it -- MacT's hotness is officially news!

*A big thanks to Scarlett for the heads-up.

Today's Battle is Brought to You by the Letter P!

'Nando may be sick, but I get the feeling he'll still give new kid Pitkanen a run for his money in today's showdown. What's your preference: lasagna, or ludefisk?


No Contest. Pants takes it.

Day Whatever: If O'Marra got sent down, do we still do this matchup?

Dustin "Otto the Hippo" Penner

Ryan "Somehow I thought he'd look fatter" O'Marra

Polls closed due to lack of interest. PENNER TAKES IT!

Hot Oil Hot Off Day 6: The Champ vs. My Daddy Works for the Organization

Why did we even do this? Moreau wins.




Ethan Moreau, above, is last year's Hot Off champion. Did he acknowledge the great honour bestowed upon him? No. But he likes to entertain children.

Robert Nilsson has been fairly impressive in the pre-season. He likes to bite his lip in concentration. Short of his daddy forcing a win, I don't think there's much Nilsson can do to take out Chompy.

Hot Oil Hot-Off: "Day" 5

I'm not sure why we're still calling these "days," since we're taking a more lackadaisical approach this year, but whatever. Day 5 it is. Today's matchup pits Horc against JFJ. What turns you on more: husky eyes, or punches to the face? Vote over. Horcoff stares down the competition!

Day 4 - Cutie and the Beast

You'd be hard-pressed to guess their correct ages, but maybe you like your boys to look like men and your men to look like boys. And hey, soon Hemsky might hit puberty!
VOTING OVER! HEMMMMSSSSKKYYYY!

Pre-season notes:

How hot is a line of Marty, Hot-Rodziak and defending hot-off champion Ethan Moreau?

Red hot.

7 points last night? HURRAH!
