Game Seven: Compare and Contrast.
So I'm sittin' here at 8:19pm, waiting for the Oilers v Hurricanes game to start.
1) First off, the student singing the anthem: whose daughter is she??? This woman clearly has never sung a note in public before. Talk about embarrassing for the NHL; even ancient Rene Rancourt could have blown her doors off. Don't even mention that awesome opera singer who does the duty for Edmonton: he is fantastic.
2) "Rock You Like a Hurricane"??? Fer cryin' out loud, don't they know down in NC that The Scorpions were the blueprint for one of the great movies, "This Is Spinal Tap"? This song is about 25 years old. Anything from this century? From the last two decades even? My god, Raleigh is the sticks. They do not deserve the Cup. No way.
(Carolina just scored....Rats!!!)
3) In a battle of good vs evil, good always triumphs, at least when George Lucas directs. Edmonton MUST win tonight for the universe to remain in balance. The friggin' Carolina fans don't even know what they are cheering for/booing against. It would be like Toronto winning an NBA title, for Christ's sakes! Or the US winning the World Cup...like that's gonna ever happen.
4) NBC has said that the Oilers arena is sold out........Sold out.
There is no game there tonight. They just put up a big screen and will show the Canadian broadcast of the game. Wow. Dedicated fans.
5) Go Oilers!
