#63 - Hall Shoots, Hall Scores!

Hall got his first NHL goal
Deflecting it through the five-hole.
Now that he has scored,
We will not be bored.
That kid's gonna go on a roll.

#62 - Backup

Tonight, Devan Dubnyk will start.
A move that most fans think is smart.
Jeff Deslaurier
Will say it's okay
But deep down there's a pain in his heart.

#61 - Flames Again?

Please stab me in the eyes with a pen...
We're playing the damned Flames again.
Hey scheduler, you're fired
'Cause we're all sick and tired
Of booing that team of so-called men.

Haiku #14 - Learning

Losing 6 to 1...
A learning experience.
Learn to win next time.

#60 - Going Wild

There once was a team called the Wild
Who in Oil Country were reviled.
When they'd meet on the road
The Oilers would implode
So hopefully at home they'll be riled.

Haiku #13 - Hockey Night

Alberta battle.
Hockey Night in Canada.
Flames will all be doused.

#57 - The Streak

In Minny, road games have been bleak.
Thirteen losses made the Oil look weak.
But no lactic acid
Means legs won't be flaccid
So tonight they'll begin a new streak.

#55 - The King

After game one it's easy to see

There's a monarch in Oil Country.

With a single goal

He's now in control.

All bow down to King Eberle.

#54 - It Begins

 



The wait's finally over, it's true.
It begins for the copper and blue.
With our eight dollar beer,
The whole Nation will cheer
On route to win number eighty-two.

#52 - The 7th Defenceman

The preseason Oilers have looked slick
But one thing still makes some fans sick.
Petiot, Peckham, Belle
Will all give'er hell
Just to earn a spot behind Strudwick.

#51 - The Rookies

There once was a set of three rookies
Who all seemed to be quite skilled cookies.
Tonight will be a first...
Triple hat tricks, no worse!
Just ask Edmonton's finest bookies.

Limerick #50

There once was a coach named Pat Quinn
Who had a commitment to win.
He didn't win many
So now in comes Renney,
While Pat takes one on his big chin.

Limerick #46

The Oilers best prospect in my mind
Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson has signed.
Until Stu makes the call
Forget Seguin and Hall.
For now it's the Swede's time to shine.

Limerick #43

A player named Sheldon Souray
Was so sexy, he turned straight men gay.
"That man has it made!
No need for a trade!"
So they thought until this fateful day.

Haiku #7

Five points in two games?
Two-hundred and five next year?
Trust in Eberle.

Limerick #36

All the Oilers ever do is lose
Yet they remain tops in the news.
Taking centre stage
On The Sun's front page
Was a shot of the draft pick we'll choose.

Limerick #18

You were thinking we'd draft someone great
Then the Oilers went and won four straight.
The playoff race is tight
And they'll keep up the fight
To land right below spot number eight.

Limerick #10

While sitting and having a beer
I heard Hemsky was done for the year.
I shouted "Oh well,
This season's gone to hell,"
And poked my eyes out with a spear.

Limerick #4

A young chap named Comrie sure looked rough.
We all wondered why he was in tough.
One kiss on his chin
And mono set in –
Now we’re all pissed at Hilary Duff.

Limerick #2

There once was a team named the Oilers.
In the leagues basement they were toilers.
They started to slip
Before the road trip
And now with each win they'll be spoilers.
