You know the Oilers have fallen on hard times when you go to a game and the highlight is the national anthem. Actually, it was a pretty good game, but they still lost (or rather, failed to win) their 11th in a row. It was the first NHL game Michelle's ever been to. She grew up in Calgary so you can understand why she never cared much for hockey. We had a pretty great time, though. Good seats. Michelle was really looking forward to seeing Paul Lorieau sing, but instead a young girl came out dressed in the robes of a First Nations princess and sang the anthem in Cree. So that was cool.
Raffi Torres got the Edmonton goal.
Final score: Vanpoover 2, Edmonton 1
