I'll be driving to Edmonton to attend this game and watch my Oilers hopefully kick some butt! Is anyone else planning to attend? Also can anyone recommend a reasonable hotel either close to Rexall (NOT The Coliseum, F**king dump) or real close to an LRT station pickup for easy travel without driving around?

 

Flames at Oilers...sound like some kind of gay pride festival (j/k)

 

Eh?

 

sorry, no disrespect to hockey, just the names together sounded funny

 

I know, I was playing possum with ya

So is nobody from Edmonton reading this with hotel recommendations?

 

SOrry dude, if you were coming to C town I could help ya out but I never set foot in the oil slick town. GO FLAMERS!!! lol

 

 

I can see this thread is going down the can faster than last nights hot wings. lol. This is all I have to say.... So...Anyone from E-town before my thread gets totally hijacked by Flamers???

 

There are a few on gateway bllvd north just off the whitemud, its a bit of a taxi ride to the game but thats where I usually stay or at the mall that has it all. Coast terrace INN, Greenwood INN are two that I know of there maybe a Super 8 there as well.

 

Thanks Sylvan. I think I am going to book downtown and jump on the LRT. Seems like the best option for me and all the beers I plan to consume!

 

Watch those draft beers at the game they are laced with crack! They F*&k you up fast and make you sick as hell the next day and I drink I fair bit of draft and that stuff kills me! But you are used to the PILL so you may handle it better that me.

 

You sure that's not from watching the Oil's power play?

 

Watching pre-season Oilers/Canucks on Center Ice right now.. The power play looks good to me! Vishnovski to Souray, Souray shoots he scores!! Then right after that Souray shoots, Cole scores!! Looking forward to a great year.

 

No I was at a concert recently and got drunk on staduim draft. I have never been that sick from drinking draft in my life! I wouldnt mind coming down to see a Shames game live I am a Big Bert fan I would like to see him play live even though he is a shadow of the player he was before the "Incedent".

 

Yeah Bert has never quite been the same player. I used to love watching his style of play.

On the stadium draft, maybe they don't clean the lines to the tap regular enough. Good to know, I'll try and order something they have to pour from a bottle if I can.
