Thanks Oilers for a great season opener

This new crop of Edmonton Oilers are going to be a lot of fun to watch this year and what a fitting way to start the 2010-2011 NHL season by BLANKING the Calgary Flames 4-0. Yup, shutout in their first game and a KO as well. I'm thinking Flames player Raitis Ivanans is going to want to steer clear of Oiler's Steve MacIntyre for the next oh several games or the end of the season. Yup, the kipper didn't look so hot between the pipes this time but our Nik Khabibulin slammed the door on Iggy and the boys from the south. Its going to be a great season.. Go Oilers.

Hey, this one is for the girls! So guys quit your snickering or drooling. They've also got tools too. RRRrrrrr Tools. Go here right now and check it out.

The Pontiacs are on FIRE!!

Nine games straight. Wow these guys have got it all together this year. I've been kind of busy so haven't updated here as much as I'd like but hopefully I'll have more time in the near future. Back to the Pontiacs. Not only did they win nine games straight. They also went to showcase in Spruce Grove last weekend and won both their games. I happened to be in Edmonton that weekend and ended up staying in the same hotel as the Ft. Mac Oil Barons. I got to talking with one of their people and asked how they were making out in the same showcase. Well, they had split their games. I asked how the Pontiacs were doing and he said they were on fire and that they had won both their games. He even admitted that the Pontiacs seemed to be a much improved team this year. YES! I've got to get to more games. That goes for you folks too. Lets' fill the stands for every game. Not only will the team be encouraged but ticket sales will help with their cash flow. It costs a pile of money to campaign the team for the season so every extra dollar helps. The Boys are back home this weekend for a Saturday game against the Drumheller Dragons. Game time is 7 p.m. in the RJ Lalonde arena. Go Pontiacs.

There's been lots of political action up in Cold Lake, Mayor Copeland is being challenged for his seat by former councillor Debra Pelechowsky and a bunch of new faces are popping up for councillor seats including Ajaz Quirashi who is a long time community volunteer. Ajaz even told me the other day that he's not in it for the salary but for the community. He even said that he'll donate his salary to local charities. Interesting.
