The Hangover: Nov. 22

I went to see "Melancholia" last night, which was at times entertaining snd yet also as dense as clutch-and-grab hockey of the pre-lockout period. Just for a little relief, I returned to the Lounge and watched Edmonton skate circles around Nashville. OK, so maybe not circles, but I did appreciate the urgency with which the Oilers attacked the offensive zone.

So in short, the Lounge recommends "Melancholia" with chaser of skate-shoot-score hockey. But don't do this double in the opposite order. You might never recover.



Time to roll the scores.
