How bad are the Oilers on the road? Answer: they have lost 5 in a row away from Rexall Place. They have lost 13 of their last 14 on the road. Terrible. If there was ever a chance for the Canucks to pound on somebody it would be now. If there was ever a time for the ice-cold Sedins to snap out of their funk it would be now. NOW! Don't play mediocre hockey against a mediocre team. Blow these kids out of the rink and send them off crying.
Enjoy this one folks. The next Canucks game isn't until January 31, a week from now, after the All Star Game festivities.

VIDEO
The last time the Canucks-Oilers met. Ebbett scored 2. We don't have Ebbett now. We are doomed!:
Hopefully we see this from Sami Salo:
Even Mark Lee had a Salorgasm there.
Aaron Rome hip checks the hell outta Laddy Smid:
The title of this post is brought to you by the DX theme song:
