Good Lord. I was looking at the schedule last night and saw that the game was scheduled for 8:00 and I was hoping they'd have enough damn sense to do the opening ceremony before that.

Well I have practice til 8:50 so I should be able to miss the cast of thousands, who gives a crap opening ceremony of a building that will be having the ice pulled out of it for tractor pulls by the end of the regular season.

40 minutes of tribute to the glorious 80s

I'm looking forward to that opening ceremony on TV but it's a wee bit anticlimactic given that I attended the first regular-season game in Rogers Place a couple of weeks ago. I do agree they should have scheduled it for before the game.

So does Gulutzan want every defencemen to be playing 20 minutes a night?

I don't want Engelland and Wideman playing 20 minutes a night.

If the Oilers spent more time and focus on playing the game than throwing ceremonies and commemorating themselves they might have an NHL caliber team.

45 minutes..... Man I hope the Flames give them a royal beat down.

The pomp and circumstance will be amazing. Thinking only Christmas at Downton Abbey will rival.

Lmao. What in the hell. Can they not just make that a special feature block on SNet west on sunday afternoon or something? Instead of wasting the time of thousands of people in attendance and on TV awaiting an NHL game and the start of the season.

I bet he has a nice set of white Oakleys to go with that outfit.
