With such a connection with the fans, Tulupov was very complimentary about them. “It’s been a pleasure to be surrounded with such a good group. I wanted to thank them for that support and the close look. They’ve done it best, they’ve expressed themselves and they said what they felt, and I saw it. It was the biggest gift that I could ever receive.”
Kirill Tulupov exit interview.
I just needed this on my dash today. Great (quick ice time) game last night!!
Highlights: OKC Barons Sweeps Abbotsford Heat
Omark scores 2 goals, 1 assist for 3 points. Tulupov with his first goal wearing the OKC jersey (I'd still sign a 2-way if I were Oilers, perfect 3rd pairing guy). Danis sets a Barons record for minutes without letting a goal past him (173 minutes). Baby Oilers win twice in three nights in Calgary, 4-0, 2-1.
Good times!

Kirill Tulupov Video Interview
Dunno what it is, but I'm really starting to get a thing for the Tulip. As I bet you're all aware of by now, I mentioned it here on the Swedish Oil, Patricia Teter had a very long chat with him the other week in a rather impressive interview. I just happen to bump into this video interview (shown above) and as I hadn't seen it before, I'm guessing some of you guys have missed it as well so I thought I 'ought to share it.
Really hard not to like him. And I'm really starting to hope he signs with the Oilers sooner rather than later. He feels, looks and talk like a real athlete and the Oilers could use both his nasty side, heart and likability.

Oh.. and #IWishBunzWasThere. While at it - #freeTulupov
Oilers should sign Tulupov. There's more hearth and character (and hockey) in this Russian than there is in several other Oilers currently under contract.. + we need our own funny Russian-guy who's more similar to Bryzgalov. Khabby doesn't cut it - even with him being a goalie.
Quick, but great hits..
If you haven't already. You really should check out the Kirill Tulupov interview put together by Patricia Teter of The Artfulpuck. Rumor has it Mr Tulupov is quickly becoming something of a fan favorite down in Oklahoma and I can see why.
We Built This Smitty. Almost too good to be true. A song dedicated to Ryan Smyth (who else) by TEAM 1260 and Nielson. Speaking of "hits", this could actually be one for real. Or is there anything stopping this song/cover from becoming a major one in E-Town? Question is, when do we get to hear it after Smitty scores in Rexall Place? Sort it out Gazzola, Dittrick and Victoria!
Also, as my fellow Swede and Oiler (yeah, there are more of us!) Snoeflekz put it after listening to a radio interview with Linus Omark discussing his injury and the Oilers..
It's nice to hear Omark speak well about the Oilers organization. Seems to be no bad blood, even if he was frustrated being scratched.
Oh, and I'm now passed 400 followers on Twitter (how did that happen?).
Last but not least, Bruce McCurdy said it:
Is it too soon to point out that Oilers have won more Stanleys than the other 7 teams in their new conference combined?
