The trip back to Yellowknife was the reverse of the same 2 day trip down. So instead of doing a recap of the exact same things, I decided that I would try something else. My idea? I figured that I would take a picture every 50km from inside the Pilot while I was driving to [...]

After gassing up the Pilot it was on the road. 8:00am, not too bad. The first bigger town on the way down was Manning. It was a quick 140km. The sun was shining brightly to start the trip so it was pleasant to drive. After Manning it was another 160km to Peace River. I think [...]

Pregame Notes: Danny Syvret has been sent back to the AHL with Mathieu Roy back tonight. One of the stars from last nights game, Ales Hemsky, will not dress tonight and Zack Stortini will play instead. Hemsky’s shoulder is still bothering him. That will hurt tonight as Hemsky was the second best Oiler last night. [...]

I was starting to get worried last night. Knowing I was heading down the highway in the morning, the snow started falling heavily. Damn just what I wanted. Luckily it only snowed for a couple of hours. I am going to Edmonton to take back the Honda Pilot we have had for the last 4 [...]

Pregame Notes: Kyle Brodziak was sent back to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL and Sebastien Basaillon was sent back to the QMJHL. Ales Hemsky, Marty Reasoner and Tom Gilbert are all back into the line-up for the first time in many weeks.

Pregame Notes: In a quirk that is the NHL schedule, tonight is the first of 2 straight home games against the Colorado Avalanche. Sebastien Bisaillon starts his second game on the Oilers defence tonight as the Oilers start the same team that lost to the Canuck’s on Monday. Dwayne Roloson and Peter Budaj are the [...]

“Most of the most important experiences that truly educate cannot be arranged ahead of time with any precision.” - Harold Taylor (1914–1993) – Philosopher of education, President of Sarah Lawrence College, social activist

The raven who crashed in our yard on Sunday must live by these words. I hope he learned from the experience he must have [...]

Pregame Notes: According to the NHL the Edmonton Oilers have not lost 10 games in a row. They are winless in 10 games so instead of tonight possibly tying the club record for losing they will have to go 4 more games without a win to tie the franchise record of 14 games without a [...]
