Last Saturday night I passed up the opportunity to play Game 22 of the Renegades Winter Season to watch the Oiler play the Detroit Red Wings at Rexall Place. Unlike some of the Oilers games that I recently attended, this was actually a good one. The Oilers played a really strong first period and jumped out to an early lead. They nearly gave the game away later but pulled the goaltender and managed to score with seconds left to tie the game. This led to overtime, which settled nothing, and then to the shootout. The Oilers prevailed and managed to win in the shootout. My Renegades did not fare so well. They were badly outplayed by Papa Johns Pizza, lost the game by a 9-1 score, and were outshot something like 64 to 32. There is an early morning game coming up next Saturday and maybe we can regroup and try to salvage the remainder of our season.
