He's "The Moose" Mark Millar. He's standing outside Rexall Place, where in a half hour the Edmonton Oilers host the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Everybody knows tonight that the Oilers haven't been doing the hottest in the NHL so far this season. And it's a shame, because on paper, they're a team that can get the job done. It's just not happening so far. Mark looks up and over his shoulder at the mass of people streaming into the arena. Except for a funny thing. The past two games, Edmonton's started playing like they can. We beat Dallas... and we never beat Dallas! And then we beat one of the best teams in the league, the Nashville Predators. That doesn't mean we'll win tonight... but it means that you never, ever want to count an Edmonton boy out until it's all said and done.
Ravager... You earned that belt, and I'm not going to take anything away from you. You beat me fair and square. And you know what? Good luck with Static. This don't mean I like you. It don't even mean I want you to win. But ya earned my respect, and as soon as I get a chance, I'm gunning for you and that Provincial Championship. As for now...
Mark adjuts his Oilers hat and spits on the ground before going on.
Thursday Night I'm up against Lobo. And so far all I've seen from this guy is one Olympic class belly-acher. What're ya, a spoiled brat who can't handle it when things don't go his way? That's the problem with hotshots; yer treated like hotshots from the time you get up to the time you go to bed. Those Olympic medals are somethin' to be proud about, d**n rights. But those medals don't mean ya get to walk around here and take what ya want! You want a shot at the Provincial Title? Well hell, so do I! And after Monday night, I'm not about to let a second chance get away from me! Mark raises his hands high in the air, yelling in the cool night. I tell you what I'm gonna do Lobo! I'm gonna come into Action! and I'm going to give it like the Eskimos did two years ago, like the Oilers have done their entire history! You ever been in the path of a pissed off moose, Lobo? You ever had to deal with a force of nature in all yer spoiled life? You're gonna see just what THE MOOSE CAN DO, MESSIER-STYLE! LET'S ROCK!
