Some random points:

- Really odd seeing several deflated posters on the first couple pages of this thread. The ONLY point of these games is player evaluation. The score, or who we played has absolutely zero significance/relevance

- That point leads into the typicalness of Oiler fans (a few on this forum and others) taking any kind of sense of accomplishment from pre-season games. They do the same thing every year and September / October are their only months, so let them enjoy themselves. We all know (and so do they) that they'll be gone in about sixty days

- Thought Gaudreau and Gio looked sensational. A lot of rust all the way around but those two stuck out

- Granlund and Augistino looked really good and hungry in the game in Edmonton

- Really liked Hamilton's skating and size and think he's going to make our d-core that much more lethal. While he was fighting the puck in spots I really liked his confidence at jumping into the play. I think he's going to run with that

- Frolik lived up to being a guy who looked great in all situations

- Even though Ferland said in a recent interview he realized he can't try and kill everyone all the time like he did in the playoffs... it still looked like he was trying to kill everyone all the time (awesome!)

- Kylington and Anderson looked amazing for first year players. The chance that they could develop into mainstays just makes our defensive pool look that much better

- As has been touched on, the Flames A/V staff should be embarrassed. There's no excuse for a pro sports team to be that inept in 2015 as far as streaming technologies go. I plan on sending them a FAX tomorrow, outlining how outdated their effort was last night. In case it doesn't come through, I'll point out that's why I'm faxing. Because with how poor their technology was last night, I'm unsure if they have yet upgraded their systems to email / Windows 2000. I encourage anyone else reading this with a fax machine available to them to do the same tomorrow. Maybe it will strike a cord.
