Oilers vs Sharks Game

Last night, I was able to go to the Oilers game. And to be truthful, I expected to see them lose. It's San Jose their playing, a team with a 30-5-5 record for 65 points in the first 40 games of the season. The Oilers on the other hand have a 19-18-3 record for 41 points in 40 games. They lost 4-1.

By the time it hit the middle of the first period though I was actually optimistic, they were skating with the Sharks, out-shooting them, forcing plays, and were generally taking the game to San Jose. Then it happened. Dwayne Roloson made a glove hand wiff, and the puck dribbled out of his glove and into the net, wasn't an overly hard shot to, and not from a great angle either. After that, I never saw the team that was outplaying the best team in the NHL. The Oilers had just scored on the powerplay as well. There was two things the team could of done at that moment, rally in front of their goaltender and let him know that he can have the odd mishap and the team will bounce back, or they could lose all heart and leave him high and dry. They did the latter I am afraid. 

Finally, I hate a policy at Rexall Place. If you buy a bottled water/pop at the concessions, they take off the cap, and don't give it to you. Like come on, yeah I am going to pop off the cap and hit myself in the eye, or swallow it. Now I was left with this open bottle sitting in the seats afraid I was going to spill it, and worse, it was getting flatter much faster. 

Cheers!
