Pointless Preview: Wings vs Oilers

Category #1: Crying Captains




Edmonton:


Gretzky
(sniff)
Smyth
(sob)



 Detroit:
Steve Yzerman once tried to force a tear...this was the result



Some have speculated that Lidstrom's tears can cure the Swine Flu...guess we'll never know.

Winner: Detroit

 Category #2: City Cold Enough to Keep Players Away

Edmonton:
Pronger asks to be traded away in 2007, Hossa rejects 10-year, $8 mil deal in summer of 2008, Heatley rejects trade offer in summer of 2009.
 
 Detroit:
Cold, but not that cold.

Winner: Edmonton

Category #3: “God I hate my first name”

Edmonton: Lubomir Visnovsky…that is just disgusting.

Detroit: Kris Draper…”Mom, this is the GIRL’S way to spell it!”

Winner: Edmonton...is it me or does Visnovsky look like he could be Rafalski's little brother?

Category #4: Google Image Seach [Team Name] + funny

Edmonton:


Are they the Carolina Tornados? Oh well…marks for trying, I guess.

Detroit:

Awesome.  Thank you, firebettman.com.

Winner: Detroit

Tie-Breaker Category: Most French Sounding Name in the History of Ever

Edmonton: Jean-Francois Jacques

Winner: Detroit, because I still support “Freedom Fries”…not really, but maybe.

Stay tuned for Chris's odds on tonight's game. Odds that Chris posts today... 1:1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.51
"So you're telling me there's a chance?"

I say 6-3 victory for the Wings.

  1. Ryan Smyth was never Captain and Pronger left because his wife was banging half the team.

  3. Salo was a horrendous goalie and people who wore his jersey are idiots.

    Plus assistant captain is close enough.

    (see, I did that in one post)

  4. The only thing horrendous is the hackery of this site, due to the Buckeye you have posting things. Yeah thats right I used my trump card.

  7. I totally tweeted Lids tears cure swine flu before the game last night, we must have simultaneously come to that conclusion.
