The Oilers pretty much had their full lineup

Quote:
The only Jets line with extensive NHL experience is the trio of Adam Lowry between Andrew Copp and Brandon Tanev
On the back end, both Jacob Trouba and Josh Morrissey will see their first pre-season action.
Eric Comrie starts in goal for the Jets, who will play their final six pre-season games over an eight-day span.

So 3 NHL 3rd liners, 2 NHL Defensemen, and the rest AHL and down including the goalie, versus 95% of the Oilers full NHL lineup.
What's wrong with the Oilers and their fans (rhetorical question)? I could see them take on the Tim Hortons Timbits in an exhibition game and Staples would be the first to post an article about McDavid destroying the opposition and how the Stanley Cup should be given in September.
