I'm just gonna wait and see. Nothing else to say until the real chips are down. Can't definitively judge this current team based off play months ago or exhibitions. Am I encouraged so far? Not really, but that all could change depending on how the team shows up. The ability is in the room, just don't know if they're going to exercise it or not.

I do believe between Matthew tkachuk and johnny gaudreau there is game breaking ability. We've seen them channel it over their flames careers. Question is are they going to in this tournament. That is all yet TBD. Until then going on rants writing off the core before a single meaningful game is objectively premature, just as putting the oilers as a cup favorite (most certainly) is.
