Seems like a good PP...How has Tmac not tried this yet?!?

Woodcroft still trying to perfect his cloning machine. Should be running by Christmas, or so I hear. So the reinforcements are coming. Do no worry. The PP is not a problem. Everything will be fine. Where's the former Iraqi Information Minister when you need him?

I knew that's what the extra cap space was for...Woodcroft is a genius!!!

Yes, now you get the plan. Soon we'll have an entire army of Letestu's, and the SC will be ours. Everything will be fine.

I wonder how much of that is coaching though too.

Those young guys look like they have no idea what role they're supposed to play.
There's an easy way to find out if Katz is willing to foot the bill for the next 2.5 years.

I just want to tank you kindly for putting my mind at ease. Knowing that the cavalry (AKA the Letestu Army) is coming really destresses me. I really needed that!

Guys I really think we are witnessing Nurse develpoing into a LEGIT all-around #1 dman.

Hes a rock every night, you just know hes not going to make a mistake to cost us and can trust him in all situations.
Can play a heavy physical game or a speedy skill game.
That play in the 3rd where he shot the puck wide then raced to the point and manage to make a play was outstanding.

One of the only bright spots of this year. Nurse is a beast out there

Terrible performance, but this one pretty much sums up the NHL officiating in Oilers games this year.


Felt kinda bad when this happened because I was watching with my older brother and when we saw an Oiler lying on the ice we thought it might have been McDavid. And then I saw the number I said "oh it's just Letestu."

I can't be the only one. :eek:

There's absolutely nothing to worry about. This is all part of the plan. We're just 'rope-a-doping' the league so that they'll lower their guard when the Letestu army comes in. Then it's all over for the rest of the NHL. Just keeep this a secret! This is VERY top secret info. I mean, no one else can see this, right? I'm not good with computers and the interwebs.

Similar comments were made about Klefbom last year, so I'm going to temper my enthusiasm. Knowing the Oilers, something bad will derail his development.

The boys probably had to hold Woodcroft back from jumping on the ice to go after that guy.

Just wow. The ref clearly saw the crosscheck (or could be called for interference -- one or the other), and just stares and calls nothing. Typical for us this season, sadly.

Don't worry soon the NHL will see the glory of the Oilers. ALL PRAISE OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR LETESTU AND HIS ARMY OF THE LIGHT!

He has been surprisingly excellent... I knew he had the upside but in all honesty I never expected him to rise up so quickly and become so solid this season as he really did not look even average for much of last season.

I am the biggest Klefbom fan around, bought his jersey despite his slow starts and have followed him thouroughly since the moment we drafted him. And every time I read comments about him being a undisputed #1 dman I laughed. He made a bad defensive gaff consistewntly last year, but alot of posters overlooked that because of the rest of his game (even myself at time).

Nure on the other hand I was never a fan of, I wanted to trade him (++) for another dman (Trouba) for years. I just thought he was to dumb to ever become a top 2 guy. He is solid no doubts in my mind.
This is different than Klefa imo.

But your logic is indisputable, this is not a big enough sample size . This is the Oilers after all, and developing dmen is something we have never ever done correctly.

Conspiracy Alert...What if TMac told Larsson and Talbs to be "hurt" and is holding Seks back from playing to show Chia how badly they need better Dmen and a better back-up Goalie

I someone wouldve told me Nurse would be playing like this and Klefbom would playing like he is I wouldve bet all my money on it not happening and laughed hysterically.
Nurse has surprised the hell out of me.

Wonder how bad Katz feels about this season. Probably not too bad though.. sitting in that LA mansion.
