I could leave the dark version of them, but whenever I see the WCE era orca jersey in person i'm always struck by how good it looks, even though my memories of them are of them being thoroughly mediocre.

Lets go boys!! Excited to see juolevi finally play

 

[Bougieman]

Boug's five keys of success to the season:

1. Goaltending has to be in the top third of the league
2. JT Miller has to play like he did last season
3. Can't have a sophomore slump from Hughes
4. At least one of Hoglander, Juolevi, or Rathbone being better than most expected
5. Everyone involved taking covid-19 precautions as serious as ****

No Miller in practice this morning, so that’s not a good start for your number 2. Any team needing this many things to break well is (imo) in for a disappointing season.

Miller taking a rest day, I think he was likely the player with the false positive.

 

[EpochLink]

We back y’all

 

[mouz135]

Well I’m pretty pumped to see the new guys play, and there is a handful of them. Strange time for the season to begin but what the hell? Always fun to lay it down on the Oilers!

How do you know it's a rest day? Wasn't he at practice yesterday?

 

[M2Beezy]

Pack a copy cats

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Miller was at practice yesterday - Benn was not; so this is two in a row Benn has missed.

Hope they're both alright.

 

[Bgav]

Where is JT?

 

[Coachcorner]

Where is JT?

Evidently that's just a rest day for a vet, no? Here's to hoping for a real beating on these fools tomorrow. Horvat might explode hard on so many ice hockey followers this season. He is the realest deal there is period.

 

[mouz135]

Woof, that Oilers D is awful. Dare I say one of the worst in the division?

Outside of McMuffin, Drysaddle and Nugent, that roster is also looking kind of meh. A whole lot of nothing

 

[Svencouver]

M2Bs five keys of success to the season:

1 will Roussell get back into 2018-19 forum
2 will Gaudette more goals then assists this season
3 ajustments on the fly
5 win those faceoffs in the d zone

thats only four keys

 

[Zombotron]

Tyson Barrie is the Answer

 

[Pip]

Anyone want to guess the TOI for the Motte-Beagle-Sutter line?

 

[Pip]

thats only four keys

You can’t share your entire game plan come on man

 

[Nucker101]

Anyone want to guess the TOI for the Motte-Beagle-Sutter line?

let's just say that it should probably be listed ahead of the Gaudette line.

 

[Snipes45]

That Edmonton Defence is atrocious might be the worse in the division depending on how highly you rate Morrissey and Chabot.

Yet, that defense ended up with the best GA/G out of every Canadian team last year lol..That was with an injured -17 Klefbom to boot. Can't be the goalies who bailed them out, people say they suck.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

thats only four keys

One of the keys was waived.

...kind of what they're saying about our roster..

 

[timw33]

 

[Nucker101]

Bear is pretty underrated, he played like a legit top 4 dman for the Oilers last season. But yeah, they're really going to miss Klefbom for sure.

 

[canuckking1]

Miller being injured would be a big blow to the team. Hate new covid protocol which makes everything Vague.
