All Fun & Games

It was a nice Sunday afternoon at the Superskills competition yesterday. It was an unbelievable turn-out and it really proves how much the Oilers mean to our community. The numbers for a skills competition destroys some of the numbers that the American arenas get for so many of their games.

You got an opportunity to see another side of the Oilers that you don't see normally (well, maybe with the exception of Marty). All of them were laughing and just playing around with each other. And smiles all around. I do love Sykora's. He's just so darn cute. Missed Jussi (would've been nice to see him opposite Roli) and Steve. Get better soon guys!

It was also touching to see the family men of the group. Smytty (as expected) walking around on the ice holding his daughters' hands, Horcoff carrying his tiny daughter and the cutest scene of all, Roli's sons (in matching t-shirts). As you'll see in the pictures that people on the Oilers' forum so generously posted, one of his sons was walking around in a mini version of his daddy's mask and pads. Hands down, one of the most adorable things I've ever seen. I'm not completely sure, but Staios's and Moreau's sons may have also been together on the bench. Well, probably since they were wearing tiny crested shirts.
