I plan on making a road trip to the red mile (with an Oilers jersey naturally) just to see what happens

Do you want to send me your will, for safekeeping?

Pfftt....what can they do to me?

 

[War Lord]

I predict that Edmonton probably will go to the third round and then lose in the Conference.

I hope I'm wrong.

I support you in this, it might be Calgary's only chance to beat somebody in the second round.

 

[Eric Draven]

Crap, a potential BOA game might mean it will be next to impossible to watch the game at Whyte Ave...

Nanana Nanana Hey Hey Hey... Goodbye...

Life is sweet. The Avs blow through the Stars, and the hated Dead Wings get a one and done in the playoffs.

Actually it was Chris Sheets of Cisn radio and Gary James from JoeFM in Edmonton. This was a made in Alberta plan. It was beautiful to see.

The man who threw the beef

From Detroit's Free Press:

Edmonton DJ Chris Scheetz brought that Alberta beef to throw at the Red Wings-Oilers games by way of Windsor. (CISN)

The Oilers weren't the only ones who drove, uh, a steak into the hearts of Red Wings fans.

Sunday before Game 2, for all watching CBC to see, a hunk of raw meat hit the ice after the last line of "O Canada."

"Alberta beef," the CBC announcers chuckled.

And the guy who threw it -- Chris Scheetz, a DJ at CISN-FM, an Edmonton country station that did remotes here over the weekend -- was escorted out of Joe Louis Arena.

"I didn't know what could possibly happen to me," said Scheetz, who got back into Joe Louis in time to see the Oilers win. "I'd never really broken the law before. But my hockey team and the Alberta beef were worth it."

In addition to entering the arms race with Hockeytown's octopi, Scheetz said it was a nod to the Alberta beef industry, which was hit by the mad cow scare a few years back.

He bought the Alberta beef in Windsor, then sneaked it over the border (so much for that heightened security). He first tried tossing it Friday night during Game 1.

"I panicked," Scheetz said. "I didn't want to throw it."

But Wings fans -- he raved about how well Oilers fans were treated here -- were supportive.

"The whole group around us knew what we were doing and they were encouraging it," he said. "So when Detroit tied it with six minutes left, I still had the meat in my hand.

"They're like, 'Throw the meat! Throw the meat!' The peer pressure got to me, so I tried to toss it and it hit the netting and flew back. It bounced back in about Row 5.

"I wanted to get my meat back, so I tiptoed through 'em all and grabbed the meat."

The beef did hit the ice in overtime, but it was still just a learning experience for Sunday.

"The second game we figured out how we had to do it was with the big, giant slabs right at the national anthem, just like the octopus," he said.

First, Scheetz borrowed a seat a few rows behind the benches from an Oilers fan.

"I told him I'd just need it for the national anthem and, trust me, I wouldn't be sitting in it after," Scheetz said.

And history was made. Maybe. Others have tried to copy the octopus -- rubber rats in Florida, salmon in Vancouver, even a beef tongue in Calgary.

"Our claim to fame is none of them did it in hostile territory," Scheetz said.

The refs have been harder on the Oilers, especially last Saturday's game.

I hope the Flames make it to the Finals so that some more Red Mile girls gone wild websites pop up LOL.

Probably better than being the most overrated team in the playoffs this year. Someone forgot to tell the Wings that regular season records don't matter in the chase for the cup

 

[Pksoze]

Hmmmm

Hurricanes/Devils

The last two series between these two teams were pretty ugly.

They still hate us because Stevens crunched half their team.

But then Stevens did it to everybody

I'm hopin for Devs Avs again.... with the same results as the last time those two met for the SC

Sorry you don't have Roy anymore, and we have Brodeur.


Plus the East is a better conerence than the West, even if the Avs get through it, I'll pick the East team over them and if its NJ so be it.

But I'm just taking it one rd at a time.

Gotta focus on the Canes.
