Mr. Glass Sighting!

I just received this email from reader Terrie:

"I just ran into Ethan at the Billiard's club and asked him if he got his Hot-Off care package. He said that he was proud that he won the first Hot-Off and asked if the ladies from Hot Oil where at the bar. I unfortunately had to say no. I am a longtime reader so I hope this info will be of interest. I also bugged him for a picture as evidence. (I feel bad as he seemed kinda annoyed that I bugged him a second time to get the picture.) The pic was on a friend's camera so it is pending."

Rad! Thanks, Terrie!

"Just Doing Some Visualization Stuff"

It's not often that "Sexypants" Roloson speaks directly to his eccentricities (read: weird-ass behaviour), but in this clip he confirms that he is "just" doing some visualization exercises during those bizarre mid-game meditation sessions. Whatever. Keep it up, pal -- two games to go!

There ain't no party like a popularity party cause a popularity party don't stop.

On April 1st, the Oilers will be giving out their end of the year awards. It'll likely be the last home game (though if we don't make the playoffs, please let us take the Canucks down with us) and a moment of reflection on the year that was.

So, I'd like to take this time to remind everyone, vote for your Oilers, give at least one nod my man Marty. Remember, he would vote for you too:

Team Reasoner

Oh, hi there. It's been a long time, hasn't it? Lucky for you, I've been guilted into posting today by my visiting die-hard Oil fanboy brother. He seems to think this team might make the playoffs. I say NO CHANCE. Nevertheless, the Oilers remain the funniest team in the league, as evidenced by the below clip of Reasoner and Greene talking about last night's allowed goal. Funny = sexy, no?

Happy Easter, y'all! Eat lots of chocolate.

Nobody cares what happened to...

Daniel Tjarnqvist! Because quasi-Lokomotiv Igor Ulanov happens to be (loosely?) tied to the Russian Super League team that is (loosely) tied to the Oilers, I have many excuses to write about them on hockey blogs that people actually still read.

Yes, it's the ever hot inflamed-pubic-bone-turned-sports-hernia himself. Tjarnqvist, part of the easily forgettable duo of former Oilers defencemen from Sweden that I call "Tjarnstrom," signed with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl some time ago. He has played 18 games for the club, with one goal and two assists.

If this picture had been floating around during last year's Hot Off, he would have made it to the finals for sure. No nasty business here!

All is not bad in Oilerland

Your NHL rookie of the month: Sam Gagner

I keep remembering that he's a rookie. But I keep forgetting just how young he is.

Again?

This makes me feel as though I'm trapped in some kind of warped comedy special.

He's Toast.

I'll miss Thor ...kinda. Good move by Philly.

I figured we didn't even do a Valentines Day lovefest of the Oilers, so the fact that I'm even putting up a photo indicates Hot Oil is NOT dead.

I'm just preparing for a trade deadline that could make for a Marty-less Oilers.

You're hearing it here first.. if Marty is gone, whatever team he goes to, that's my Stanley Cup run team.

Fly fly away boy... fly fly away.

Oh, my.

Sam Gagner, WHAT WILL YOUR MOTHER THINK?!

Please speculate in the comments as to what exactly is going on in this picture.

Big thanks to an anonymous commenter for the pic!

He looks too much like Stortini

We're going to find out soon enough! TSN reports that the Oilers have acquired this striking young man from Columbus. Sexier than Dick? I hardly think so.

Update: Oops! Well, you heard it here next, folks!
