Clash!

Gameday: Oilers vs. Senators

We've waited all year to see the Hope Danglers vs. Heartless Skill Monsters. I'm on shift for this one, but i'll be hovering around the terminal glancing dejectedly at the boxscore all night.

Prediction:
If the last matchup between the Hollis Jared Fray Blaynee coached Sens and the Daniel "The DC stands for Awesome" Fung coached Oil counts for anything, I'm going for 4-3 Sens. We'll lead by one for the final two periods with Smytty's hat trick against a Spezza beauty goal and a Phillips powerplay slap shot off the face-off but then the bastards will tie it up with 37 seconds remaining in the third and they'll go on to win it in OT. With my luck it'll probably be Comrie. Look for a lot of dirty, dirty hits by the Ottawans, especially that hooligan Eaves.

Update: Damn... I was right on the money (although Smitty didn't score, but Comrie totally did during the shootout). Why is it so easy to predict the oilers losing, and yet so difficult to find them winning?
