Oh hell yeah. Hockey’s back. Suck one, Oilers.

Besides the top line, this Edmonton team sucks.

Hey Kingsboy, sorry that I’m old school, but where did you get the ratings on the players? Are they stagnant or will they change through the year?

BTW, like the new look!

Oh I thought we weren't going to be playing this season.

Well, let's see what happens I guess.

Thanks! So the ratings are based on their stats in the game mode Hockey Ultimate Team in the NHL 20 game that got released a few weeks ago. Now I don't think very highly of these games so I adjusted the ratings as I saw fit. Like it had Wagner's speed at like 84 and I was like that's not even remotely close to being true. :laugh: And I had to create ratings for some of the newer guys like Lizotte, Roy and Hutton because they weren't in the system yet.

Now NHL 20 does release new kind of "cards" throughout the season, but it took a while to manually make each one so I can't be bothered to adjust them as the year goes by. :laugh:

Great GDT @kingsboy11 !!! Woohoo hockey officially feels back instead of feeling relegated.

I'm going to miss it live as I have a fundraiser event tonight :( but watching after.


Defending against McDabid and Draisaitl is a really rough NHL debut for an 18 year-old rookie defenseman.

It sure is--yet I believe his skating is a great asset against McDavid even if his size is a detriment vs. Draisaitl. What better way to figure out where he is?? Your first assignment is the best player in the NHL, let's go.

Nonetheless, I will try a reverse jinx:
"Welcome to the NHL kid" as CM blows right around him to score.

Over/under on number of times McDavid splits the Kings defense?

That's quite the defense the Oilers are icing

Sure does look weak! Adam Larsson is injured, of course. The past 2 drafts, they took Evan Bouchard and Philip Broberg...so their future blueline looks better....but for tonight, looks pretty shoddy on paper.

Looking at the lineup, if guys like Lizotte, Amadio, Bjornfot, Roy and Hutton can be quality NHLers for us, it adds a tremendous amount of unexpected depth. Couple that with a rebound year from some of the vets and you may have something.

I'm still skeptical of Lizotte and having an 18 year old Bjornfot on the top D pairing, but I'm hoping they prove me wrong.
