I'm sure it's more fun than grading games like we do here (well lately anyways). I'm glad you found us, so we could find you.<br /><br />http://brewscout.wordpress.com/<br /><br />And your right. The mood was probably a little sour before the bill was put on the table. What I don't get... why wouldn't the vets pass it on to the rookies and walk out the door? (I'm kidding). If Moreau really did "lead the charge" to have the bill changed, then I respect that. Our Captain actually stood up for the team. That alone is a step forward. Maybe this is one of those "behind closed door" things that people say he's good at.<br /><br />Either way, this news about this incident doesn't look good for the team, right or wrong. Let's hope they beat the snot out of Dany "The Douchebag" Heatley and the rest of the Sharks tonight.

I've...Wow, cool site... glad google found you.<br /><br />I've eaten at Osteria when I've been in Calgary, and it's truly a fine-dining experience (not at all suited to someone like me).<br /><br />Frankly, I can see why some Oilers were pissed, but when you consume 100 shots of tequila (& other shooters) and start swigging imported brandy straight from the bottle, I expect the booze - not the sticker shock - was the chief cause of the Oilers' belligerence. <br /><br />Osteria might be getting a lot of press out of this (more than the $6,000 they were stiffed), but I'd be going public too if a large group of drunken rich boys turned ugly on me because they were too irresponsibly celebratory to do the math.<br /><br /> I can't imagine - despite the occassion - the Oilers were in a great mood following the fifth loss to Calgary this season, Coach Q publicly calling them a "dumb team" and Penner being left off the Olympic team (probably less disappointing). This can sink morale even more.<br /><br />Hopefully in the future, the Oilers' organization will appoint a caretaker for such gatherings to watch the tab and make sure breaks on the bill can be negotiated beforehand. I would expect this from a U.S. Olympic team... not a Canadian NHL franchise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1928330948479195824.post-62765531919032659642010-01-01T21:04:11.806-07:002010-01-01T21:04:11.806-07:00lol.

We had a group of 25 people (no professional hockey players among us!) and our bill was outrageous - the food was not the issue, but the liquor was. They overcharged for the alcohol but couldn't give us a detailed list of what had been consumed. I stand by the Oilers for refusing to pay a bill that was "padded" by the owners of this restaurant. I say, "good on you, Oilers!" This restaraunteer is obviously trying to capitalize on large groups who drink and don't keep a list of every drink they order. So much for trust. To the blogger who is embarrased by his hockey team - maybe you should not always believe everything you read in the media - remember....there is most likely a slant against the rival city hockey team in the reporting of the story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
