It's hockey. At a borderline potential impact level . After a long summer is it such a wonder that we hockey junkies need our fix?
Just go with it. There are worse habits, lol.

He still floats however. He tools around like a guy on a Sunday stroll without a care in the world.
If he picked up his intensity level every shift and hustled, he could end up one of the best power centers in the NHL.

I really do enjoy this Tourny.
1) It signals that hockey is back
2) get to see your young guys in your teams jersey for the first time.
3) gets the competitive/rivalry juices going
4) at the end of the day, win or lose, it means absolutely nothing, it's basically for ***** and giggles, exhibition hockey at it's finest.
Love it.

As a fan who does not have the time to watch enough prospects outside of the top ones, I really enjoy watching as many of these games as I can.

He's used to being the best player on the ice and having all the time in the world to snap passes around like a surgeon. A lot of that time evaporates at the NHL level. That said he has every tool to be successful, and there's no longer a tool behind the bench in Edmonton.

Draisaitl is so stealth though. His slow paced game makes him hard to notice then all of a sudden a perfect pass comes flying out of no where and the Oilers have a scoring chance.
Just read that Morrison grew up as an Oil fan. His parents are long time season ticket holders.
Pretty funny how that works out.

He seems efficient. He looks like he is floating but he is always reading the play and more often then not he ends up where the puck is. He never really is caught chasing the puck he just knows where its going.
That said for a guy with slow excdlleration he is deadly on the breakaway.
I think his style is a nice change of pace compared to the rest of the offense in edmonton.
You need guys who work at a couple different gears. I think Drai can keep up with Halls as well.

Sorry it crashes when I try to post the link. You can get it from the oilers website though.
Winquist and Drai are in the lead with 4 points.

I love this - that is me in the California t-shirt above the Pepsi sign... I had been filming and I had just put my iPod down, otherwise the world would have had the best view of that hit...

ugly skater, but good top speed.
first few steps aren't phenomenal, but it's that Kopitar "looks slow but isn't" thing. Won oilers fastest skater last year (Hall's knee was bummed though)
I think Brandon Hickey was an oiler fan too.
Though Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall might have been flames fans

Exactly. His first step needs to keep improving but his style of play is something Edmonton lacks. Definitely the type of player the Oilers will keep around for a while IMO.

Eberle was an Oil fan, Hall was a Flames fan. Iggy was his hero.
These two teams have a history of players growing up cheering for the other team. Iginla was an Oiler fan, Smith was a Flames fan, Etc. etc.

Yes, his ability to possess the puck for long periods in the offensive zone until he is ready to distribute it to an open team mate is something the Oilers have needed for a few seasons now.

And you post this like you are shocked? Of course Nurse wrecked him
I had no issue with Nurse fighting him but his celebrating after the fight was immature IMO. Good on Andersson for showing heart and not standing idly by or hiding like some other players.

I'd rather have him fight when it arises than pick his spots like someone like Bieksa.
Andresson is 6'0, 212Slepyshev is 6'2 218. Probably not a great first fight either

Good on Andersson for showing heart? Stupidity =/= courage. All you've posted is proof that Andersson was out of his element and out of his realm. The scrum was on the opposite side of the ice, and the game was tied. He grabbed Nurse in the scrum. Please, don't make it into a bully vs. the little hero here. It was the stupid vs the strong.
Andersson was dumb to think he should try and fight Nurse, and Nurse showed him why. Pretty simple. You can pat him on the back, but the slap on the wrist he received was much more deserved.
