I am willing to lay big weight on my feelings about tonight. Tonight is the night the tide turns. For the first time this year, everything is going right. Florida, Chicago and Dallas are all going to do their thing while the Oil pound the snot out of Vancouver. If it doesn't happen, I eat no donairs in the month of February. (this includes donair subs, donair plates, and donair pizza)
When I read the title it made me think of that April Wine song "Tonight is a Wonderful Night."
Uncle BBB, that avatar of yours made me have dreams last night that seals were in my bedroom everywhere and babies kept being born...and boy and girl seals were...you know....procreating.

Tonight is extremely pivitol. We don't win, I really don't think we make the playoffs.
Although the hill to climb seems pretty steep, with or without a win tonight the Oilers still control their own destiny regardless of how the other teams do by the simple fact that they play Colroado and Minnesota enough times to ensure a play off spot.
Add into that, the remainder of the NW (Colroado in particular) play each other a crap load of times and obviously not all of them will be three pointers...if even a few of them.
That said, the Oilers still haven't had a significant winning streak this year and they will no doubt need one in order to get going in the right direction. No time like the present to get moving on one.

They are no means out of it. But their lack of consistency leads me to believe that they will no run the table on their future division games. .500 on the remaining division games isn't going to cut it.
Perhaps is we all purchased donairs at our donair establishments of choice for consumption during said pivotal playoff run contest, we would create a psychic wave of karma that would culminate in a convergence of karma waves of such epic proportions that it would propel the Mighty Oil to steamroll their enemies. Of course, I will leave it up to BBB, as only BBB himself has the expertise and seniority to OK such a venture. It could potentially speed up global warning if we do not get the timing exactly right.

Or, I could just get bloated and have painful gas pains as those girly Swedes skate circles around MAB and Cooke continues his campaign against Avery as the leagues most chicken-crap cheap shot artist.

Hopefully it will be the former, but if it is the latter, I hope that Torres will continue to lay out assorted mixed 'Nucks & Stortini puts Bieksa throught the boards.

Three straight at home would be an indication that this team has the will to make the playoffs this year.

Karma is ready to roll.
I'm with you B3. This game is UGE (as donald trump would say, for some reason he never says Huge just Uge).
Im going to my favorite Donair joint, ordering up a super donair (uge donair) from Jay's Diner in spruce grove. Toss in the sweet sauce, a few pepers, onions, tomatoes. Take it home and watch the oilers walk all over the nucks.
It will be one to look back on as the Oilers season TSN turning point.
On a side note, too bad it's on sportsnet not TSN. Since the new HD craze sportsnet has really been crappy on their regular channels.

That's 2X for Jay's!
I hope there isn't a line-up, because every one he makes seems to take forever while you are inhaling the mystery meat fumes...
BBB -- I think they go on a tidy little run here. The guys who earned their stripes last year for their playoff tenacity have to lead the way. And they (Horc-Smyth-Hemsky-Pisani) have been doing it so far.
Of their losses (in reverse chrono) since January 2.
Vancouver - generated plenty of chances, finally got to Luongo, but didn't defend well enough
San Jose - no show
Calgary - no show
Calgary - didn't solve kipper early then got ground out
Minnesota - had enough chances to win it
Van(OT) - bad pinch in OT, but on balance of chances the Oil could have won
DAL(OT) - the blown lead, the Patrick Stefan blown EN, again could have won it
8-5-2
.6 winning percentage (by points earned). Obviously only wins count, but I look at that list of losses and there were only three of those where they didn't have a chance in the game.
I've been feeling good about the game tonight as well. I'd love to help you guys out, but I don't believe there is a donair place in Saskatoon. I have no idea why...we have the most restaurants per capita in the world (or so they say), but I've got to drive to Edmonton to get my donair fix. Same goes with Chicago deep deep deep dish. You guys don't know how good you have it.
Usually my buddies and I hit Marcos on Whyte when we're in town. We've tried Queens but it didn't seem to compare to the Jumbo w/cheese (which ironically seems to have no cheese). Is Jay's Diner the place to go?
Funny story: Last time I was at Marcos (after the horrible 4-0 flames loss) some crazy drunk guy jumped up on a table, yelled at the customers in line, and then dropped his pants! Marco told him to move to another table.

I have never had a better donair then at Jay's, it is in Spruce Grove so for some it would be a long drive simply for a donair.
I also have never had an experience like the one you had at Marcos.
Marcos and Jays should have a Donairoff before the playoffs, a bit of a rally I guess you could call it.
