Thanks for the update
Oh Edmonton is shaking off the loss in the cup last season. They have the most potential. As a Chicago fan living in SJ, Edmonton all of the way.
The defence needs some work, hopefully they're fine-tuned for the season opener. It would be great to see the Oilers off to a strong start this year.
Team looked off . Connor looked like a regular NHLer a rare sight. Noah earned a spot. Brown didn’t impress and definitely not required. Vinny is missed more than I thought he would be. Team has 5 days to get back in playing mode. Last years start is not needed. Thanks for the update
i bet they really are starting to regret not matching on broberg
Still not good goaltending defense has gotten worse and a lot of speed gone.
Oilers needs more grit they need to fine some more big guys they are gone to small Ryan needs to be gone and perry oilers are to small man so who do they have to stick up for the players
Wish Jack all the best
Most of these guys were still playing in June. Short break, and back at it, while most other teams had 5 months off.
And on top of that they lost speed/energy up front, as well as Broberg, who I thought proved himself in the playoffs.
Personally, I don’t think the Oilers will even make the playoffs with the personnel they have now. I hope I’m wrong!
And that’s coming from a fan since ‘79.
The D has looked terrible. I hope that Emberson will have some chemistry with Nurse, but it's not fair to count on an entry level contract player to prop up your $9.25M Dman.
Really appreciate the positive outlook Patrick. I am very nervous about our team , your right, preseason we have looked slow and out battled on the puck. Ekholm has not been his usual self on defense. GO OILERS!!!!!!!
It'll be best case scrnario if derek ryan ends up on LTIR, and with Brown sent down. EDM might br able to keep all thr current players on the starting roster
Defence is still out Achilles heel I’m afraid. Skinner isn’t fitting in well either. If he can score a few then critics will be silenced. Philp will go down once Ryan is healthy.
They need guys that do body checks!!!! Too many opponents just pass by them at the center and the blue line or watch as their buddies get cheap shots, especially the superstars.
