It's still strange to see him in Oilers colours.

Can't wait.

Any news about Ference failing his medical?

I don't think there's any chance he will pass it. He's done.

 

[Hugo McStiglitz]

Any public practices?

Based on what the oilers have been saying on Twitter, it's still TBD.

 

[Draiskull]

As per the camp kick off video the roster will be split into 3 groups..
Group A and B will be playing each other on Sat and Sun to get ready for split squad pre season game.

Guessing Group C would be the fillers.

 

[McPuritania]

Might as well put these here.

Why in the world did they invite an undersized 34 year old, who last played in the NHL in 2010, to camp on a PTO? I'm sure there must be a reason but it's beyond me.

Thanks for this. Was wondering how it would be split. So does practice/scrimmage start tomorrow?

Who's that?

 

[Chuba]

So Mcdavid and nuge will be back this weekend to practice with the team?? I hope I will see them on Monday at Rogers place

 

[Hugo McStiglitz]

Who's that?

Ryan Vesce. He played a couple years in San Jose and Worcester when McLellan was SJ's coach.

He's always had great numbers in the AHL, and good numbers in the KHL for the last few seasons. Might want to try and get him to help out in Bakersfield after he eventually gets cut from the big squad.

Who?

 

[McFlyingV]

Who?

Ryan Vesce.

I had assumed they just invited him to get some semi-NHL quality competition in camp with the potential that RNH, Drai, and McDavid could have missed the first half of camp. I doubt its anything more than that, as I'm sure he's not going to be looking for an AHL deal after just putting up 33pts in 40 games in the KHL.

The guy has to know that there's no room for him, even on the ****** team we typically put together from year to year at the bottom of the league every year.

I'm assuming he got sick of the borscht and is okay with settling in California for a year.

Does anyone have a link or a list of the Oilers training camp roster. I looked under the Oilers active roster list but it seemed to be missing a bunch of people like the guys on PTOs.

Maybe, but he'd be taking a massive pay cut, which for a guy his age wouldn't be the smartest thing to do. He doesn't have a lot of years left in him as a hockey player.

Thanks!

What a loaded question Jones asked Larsson...paraphrasing, but basically "Have you being treated like **** and been the victim of public shaming and/or embarssment yet by the fans you've met around the city who are still bent out of shape about the trade or are they pretending to be nice to you?"

Of course he didn't ask it that way but holy ****, he might as well have.

You could almost see Larsson's body language change as he was likely thinking "Did this jackass really just ask that?"...and he totally side-steps the question .

Atta kid Adam!!!

Holy christ man...I clicked on the link after reading your remark and got through 42 seconds of it with what you said in the back of my mind. I can't stop laughing.

Well done Draiskull. Very well done.
