Man...that second unit really shows you how few skilled players we really have on this team.

The other option is Ethan Bear, or Russell on his off side, which we emphatically know does not work. Do you like those particular apples any better?

Fine with me. It would be stupid to throw Bouchard in the top 4 right now. He's not ready, don't force it.

It’s weird watching McDavid be rusty because we’re always used to him making perfect plays !!

Regardless I’m glad he’s back and you know he will be back to normal for our season opener .

The top isn't good either. They have a 2nd pairing playing top pairing, a 2nd pairing guy, a 3rd pairing guy then a rookie and Benning who might as well be a rookie.
Hey man you don't gotta tell me. If you moved every pairing down one we'd have one of the best defenses in the league.

I feel like I say this every year... the Oilers played sloppy. Now I'm wondering if they even have the skill to not play sloppy. Playing sloppy is just what they are.

Half the Arizona regular lineup and their 3rd string goalie outskilled our actual lineup.

Rough. I thought some of our young guys would take this massive opportunity to fill spots in the lineup and show up in camp...none did. Really dissapointing

Russell is probably the only D I'd say that looked decent tonight. Klefbom just quiet. Forwards looked good, but our top line was in autopilot.

If the defense looks like that all year it won't matter who's in net.
