Was at the calgary game last night, personally I'm giving props to Nurse. Smith pretty much jumped him (I'm surprised he didn't get an instigator) and he held his own against a bigger guy. If we're going to criticize the guy for caving in Anderson's face you kind of have to respect him for fighting Smith.
Anyways I thought Frolik and Nakladal looked really good. Drew Shore was catching my eye as well throughout the game. Although Ferland had some big hits he had at least three atrocious give aways in the neutral zone, I wasn't very impressed with him.
Best moment of the game was the two Oiler fans in front of me constantly checking the score of the Edmonton game, and unleashing a mighty roar and double fist pump when the Oilers took the lead. They were so fired up and then when the game ended one said to the other "it's just preseason and doesn't mean anything" and the other guy nodded in agreement. lol
