...but he won me over in the shootout vs the Golden Bears.
EDIT: One of the upcoming participants in the Oilogosphere blogger Hot-Off (the mighty Grabia) alerted me to the You Tube of the Schremp goal. I'm too lazy to post it in here, just click the link.
It's hot HOT.
But keep your eyes open for the 0:34, 0:57, and 1:44 on the counter.. (or anytime that Lupul is on the screen.. SQUEE!)
Also, the BoA is helping us bring sexy back. Funny thing is, I don't think sexy ever left. Well, maybe from 94-99.

Day 12: Back end versus the front
The Hot Off is not kind to players with little-to-no NHL experience. Will the trend continue? Do you prefer Studly Steve's puckhandling on the blueline, or were the 7 games that Jean-François Jacques played last season enough to win you over? Vote in the comments section!
Voting Over. Macedonia Forever!

Day 11: Rookie Showdown!
Today's battle throws two Oilers rookies into the ring: Kyle "Astroboy" Brodziak and Robbie "Banana Hammock" Schremp!
Brodziak is an Alberta boy who was touted as an "unsung hero" when he played for the Moose Jaw Warriors. New Yorker Schremp, on the other hand, is apparently a "wizard." So, which do you prefer: Canadian heroes, or American wizards? Vote now in the comments!

He's the 67.5 Million Dollar Man.
If only he was MY 67.5 Million Dollar Man...
In case you didn't hear, the hockey (and sporting world) was rocked by the 15 year contract to a Mr. Rick DiPietro of the New York Islanders. The length of the contract will take Rick to the age of 40, though I anticipate that he will still be worthy of swooning by girls.
You see, this isn't the first time that he's been mentioned on this primarily-Oilers website. In the August 12th post, "Know Your Fangirl", yours truly named Rick to her 1st Team All-Hot players as starting goalie.
How does a 15 year contract affect my faithful readers at hot oil?
The top 5 reasons why the DiPietro signing will affect the rest of our lives:
5. Dipietro's face (*swoon*) will be the face of the Islanders long after he destroys his knee in Year 4 of the contract.
4. Loxy can start making a list of dark haired American players - a pattern in her squeeage. (Note: I wouldn't say that Robbie has dark hair.)
3. Cute boys should continue to be compensated for their cuteness instead of establishing themselves as franchise players in this league.
2. More Wang Jokes.
1. If Rick can sign a ridiculous 15 year contract, The Prez can still hold out hope for Igor to be signed by the Oilers. Stranger things HAVE happened.
Day 10: Who's dat guy vs. the captain.
It's pretty easy to mistake these players for each other. I mean, the white helmets, the fact that they play hockey... Don't be fooled!
Toby Petersen and Jason Smith are not the same person.
While Toby tries to make a career for himself in the NHL, Gator is an NHL captain. One says "Poe-Tay-Toes", the other says "Poe-Tah-Toes". Toby Peterson once said, "Everyone watches football, but not everyone watches hockey." Jason Smith's tears cure cancer, too bad Jason Smith has never cried.
Lets see how close the votes can be.

Squee! News from an Oily Weekend!
(scroll down to vote in the Hot Off's Day nine)
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.
More Pictures from Saturday:
-Tom Gilbert
-Jussi Markkanen
-An unflattering picture of MacT
-Jarret Stoll
-Daniel "Hottest Swede EVER" Tjarnqvist
Yes, that's an XXL Ulanov jersey.

Day 9: Which official language do you prefer?
Pierre Trudeau might have suggested that we accept both, but here you must pick only one! I have no idea why the pictures look like they've been covered in oil, but I'm sure it's a good sign.
Both of these men have boyish looks, but not in a way that should make you feel as though you belong in jail. What do you desire in a man? The pointy nose a la Marc-André Bergeron, or the constant expression of surprise that Marty Reasoner carries around on his face? Quel langue aimez-vous le plus?
