Yeah it was exciting. There's something about these two jerseys that hate each other, regardless of who's wearing it. No way most of these kids have any idea what the BoA is really about and yet it didn't disappoint.

The team has truculence, but you lose skill when you take away skilled forwards like Granlund. Oh well.

Oilers had a better system tonight. Flames looked like they didn't have any system at all. In a throw away game though, that may have been intentional.
Flames who looked great were: Bennett, Gaudreau, Elson and Culkin (to me anyway)
Yakimov looked really good for the Oilers, interesting player. Believe he is 6'5? Seemed to have very good positioning.

You gotta wait 3 years. Right now the Flames are filled with a bunch of stop gaps.

Wasn't one of the guys Gene Principe? I figured you'd be used to him by now.
But yeah, the Flames had no system at all today. It's like the coaching staff just said "Go that way!"
Still a pretty fun BoA to watch. Even better that some of the last regular ones in recent years.

When this Oilers team commits to a defensive system they really keep themselves in games well, won by playing smart and cashing in on the PP. Maybe a sign their coaching does have a plan and holding onto Eakins will work out for them?
After Gaudreau-Bennett-Ferland which put up a couple points (not sure why Ferland wants to showcase his fighting when he has 3 games to show he can play hockey).
Hathaway-Elson were great, once again our only d-man sticking out for the right reasons was Ramage.
Kanzig, Carroll, Smith and Culkin all were frustrating to watch.
Chase finally not the best prospect on his team in these games by Tkachev&Yakimov neither stuck out like Ehlers on the Jets but still had solid showings and lead the offense to a win.

Of course there is no system. Game 1 was also day 2 of rookie camp and Game 2 was only day 3. On day 1 they likely never even took the ice, it was probably fitness testing and interviews and such.Wasn't one of the guys Gene Principe? I figured you'd be used to him by now.

They probably have their first and only practice of the tournament tomorrow on their off day.

Was at the game tonight, as well as Friday afternoon, and Bennetts play was night and day. In game one I noticed him 2 or 3 times....but tonight he was flying out there. Really showed his potential tonight. Was the best player out there for you guys imo.

Setting up the play?
The Johnny goal was a treat to watch when I got home. Again.
Really liked the hits by Bennett and Smith, too.

Love this kid.
I was incredibly happy with this pick. He has some decent hands too... Could be a great middle 6 RWer in this organization.

Gaudreau - Bennett - Poirier
Baertschi - Monahan - Granlund
Klimchuk - Jankowski - Smith
Drooling right now over our potential top-nine looking like this eventually, plus whoever we add from next year's draft (though I'm holding out hope for Hanifin or Kylington). Hunter with Klimmer and Janko would be all kinds of sickness imo
