Oilfriends, we've had a tough few day. It's true. I did not expect the Oilers to be caught in this sort of rut. Admittedly being down two games with only 1 goal is not a great place to be heading out on the road, but tomorrow will be a good day.
According to my phone the weather for tomorrow, the sunday of a long weekend, will be 20 degrees and sunny. Whether you're at home because of a work situation or sitting half drunk in a campground near Whitecourt THAT is a good forecast. Should you be fortunate enough to have the weekend off you'll have had a full day and a half (of beautiful weather) to get your weekend chores done. Plant your flowers, take the kids to the park, hang a shelf, do some school work (you poor unfortunate summer students). It doesn't matter what you have to do, you have the time to do it. By the time 5:30 comes around, you'll be ready.
Ready for what? Well, I've got a growler of Odd Company chilling in the fridge as we speak. Oh yes, it's calling to me. It wants me and it wants me now. But you know what? That delicious beer will have to wait until I'm good and ready for it. And I'll be ready for it when my steaks are done. I've got a ribeye from a cow I bought that I've just been waiting for the right time. That time is tomorrow and the sauce is going to be mushrooms sautéed in red wine. I'm taking my beer and my steak and my sautéed mushrooms and sitting my chore-free butt on the couch. I might get a bag of chips for later. Dunno, but it'll be my choice.
I'm going to sit on my couch and drink my beer and eat my steak and watch the best player on the planet play the best sport ever conceived. And that player is going to be in a bad mood. Connor McDavid is going to have to leave his giant house and lovely fiancé to fly to freaking Winnipeg. Winnipeg. Ugh. Gate 31A was going to Hawaii and Gate 31B is going to Winnipeg. Ugh. Going to Winnipeg. Never mind the implausibility of flights to Winnipeg and Hawaii departing from adjacent gates in 2005, think about the implausibility of Connor McDavid going three games without a point in the playoffs. Think about what he's going to do to keep the impossible impossible.
We're going to get to watch that guy in that situation play hockey on a beautiful long weekend Sunday in the most comfortable seat in the house with all of our chores done. Life is good my friends and it's time to start enjoying the ride. The past is the past. The last 20 years. The last 2 games. The past. Let's leave them where they belong. Right now? Right now we've got 20 hours to prepare.
This is the energy the universe is sending my way and I'm sending it right back to the universe.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
