Oilers haven't been playing too well lately. There's not a lot of depth behind McDavid. McDavid vs our D probably won't be pretty, but I'll take the rest of our lines against there's.

I expect we give up 3 goals again.

Edmonton is usually a house of horrors no matter how brutal the oilers are.

Price has had little luck there over his career, including a major injury during warmup in the past.

Let niemi have this one.

By the time price plays in Calgary, he would have had 7 days to reset. It would have been nice to get some more practice in, but I guess that hasn't been an option lately the way the schedule has been.

Vancouver is obviously a price game, as always.

We give up 3 and the 5 that Price will give up makes 8. You think we can score 9 goals? Our offense had been good but not that good. :sarcasm:

The Oilers have Lasrson, Klefbom, Nurse, Russell, that’s 4 pretty decent D
Up front they have a lot of holes but they do have some good pieces. I think they need to fire every coach.

Why are guys like Strome not producing? Pretty good player.

Imagine if McDavid had a supporting cast?

Habs still have one of the worst D in the league so I expect a 6-5 game

It's a brand new NHL. I have no idea what will happen. It will be a good test.

We say that every year when we go to California or Western Canada. :laugh: Rexall Place and the Shark Tank is/were a nightmare for 15 years. Hopefully we have more luck in Edmonton’s new building.

We get lucky on Saturday because the Vancouver game is at 7 eastern.

I think they get 4 of 6 points.

McDavid vs Benn should be something else.

Our starting goalies have sucked for over a decade in Edmonton. I agree with starting Niemi. Claude said they were going to back off a little bit with Price so I imagine Niemi gets a couple of starts in a row here.

We'll match up well against the Oilers, but not so much the Flames. Canucks will depend on which Price shows up. A 5 point trip is very doable.

For a first time in a while all Canadian teams are qualified and in a tight race, except one.

McDavid the Goliath versus the pylon.
