    The really cool Oiler thread

    I'll post my Gretzky stuff in a few days.



    Here is my game used stick and photo signed by Jussi.



    A wider view. I'm going to mount this on the wall in my study.



    The toughest guy in the NHL needs no intros. Here he is with my oldest daughter in the paddocks at Champ Car. At a game in the previous season, just after the pre-game meal, he let Stacy pick out the stick he would use in the game. Later in the pre-game skate, he skated up to her at the glass, held up his stick, and mouthed thank-you. He then flipped her a puck. And boy did that make her day. On the day we took this photo I told him I was going to miss him playing for the Oilers. And in his akward frenchified english he told me he was going to miss me too. Stacy and I had a good chuckle about that later, Georges told me he was going to miss me!



    One of the finest coaches in the NHL, again with Stacy. This was a day after the Winnipeg loss and he asked Stacy if she was at the game ( he saw the Eskimo tattoo). He said to her, "What were the Eskimos thinking running a blitz with an empty backfield with no time left and the opposing team standing in their endzone?" I have a feeling we would have won that game if MacT were coaching and not DM.



    Another fine Oiler and part of the coaching staff. Good old Buchy! He also was baffled over the call in the Eskimo game.



    Stacy's signed Lupul jersey. My wife has worked with his mother for probably 15 years. The funny thing is we didn't know she was his mother. She does not have the same last name and she looks very young (and hot). She looks too young to have had a child. We knew she was a hockey mom, we just didn't know her boy made the NHL.



    Joffrey is pretty good with her. He high-fived Stacy at almost every home game we went to this year. Allot of times he did it going on and off the ice.

    I'm hoping to grab some more stuff at the locker room sale tommorow. I also have a signed Ryan Smyth hat from a few months ago but I don't want to post it. I was going to get rid of it but I may hang on to it a few more months and see if Ryan proves me wrong about his loyalties. If not I may give it to DDS.

    Come on guys, smile. Next year will be another story. Lowe will sign star players and MacT will take us to the SCF again. And we'll be able to enjoy watching Calgary lose all their players one after another.

    Nanookster, that's cool. Your daughter looks like a beautiful young girl, it's nice to see that she gets the interaction with athletes and coaches that is evident in your words and pictures.

    Cool memorabilia as well, I have an Ales Hemsky home jersey that I am hoping to get signed next year. I may go down to that locker room sale as well.

      Really great pics, Nook!

      But I have to wonder if you'd be easier on DM if he were as chummy with you and your daughter as MacT and Laraques are
      I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted paychecks.

        That's awesome stuff! Great to see how the Oilers really reach out to the community!
        I officially retract my vote for DDS as Prime Minister. He's clearly incompetent.

          MacT chatted it up with her for a good 15 minutes. He was amazing. Kelly was kind of quiet. Thanks for the kind words.

          An Eskimo that has been really good to her has been Mobes. I think she has met him at least a dozen times and he has permitted her to wear his Grey Cup ring. She has also worn Kepley and Cominskey's Grey Cup rings.

            We all met once at the locker room sale. DM is a nice person, I just don't feel he is a competent football person.

              Saw this above the Laraque pic and I thought you where refering to " the toughest Man" in the NHL and not the pic above it

                Anyone go to the locker room sale? I don't think it was as good as an Eskimo locker room sale, but it was fun. Kids had a great time too. I like the reaction we got out of Jussi.

                My kids sat in Lupul's stall. The Fanboni saved my life when it came time to stand in line and pay (I put the youngest in it and his sisters looked after him). Payment took me an hour and a half. The line-ups for players was much better, less than 5 minutes for each.

                  In the first picture with Jussi, is that an Eskfans member in the green and gold jacket standing next to the autograph sign?

                  If I were a betting man I'd say it was Beerfish.

                    I can vouch for 'Nook. His daughter is just about the nicest and most well behaved kid I've ever met. Plus, she actually watches the football game with a keen interest. 'Nook and Mrs. 'Nook should be proud.

                      Thanks Jason, she is going to miss you as well.

                          You lot will see me.

                          Sitting next to 'Nook and Stacey = great
                          Sitting next to the rude idiot sourpusses on the other side of me = crap

                          Couldn't face another year of it, mate.

                              Cute kids. If Nanookster = half of them, his wife must be a freaking supermodel!
