Anyone hear what James Neal said in his blog...

When Edmonton was named one of the hub cities, we were all excited. But the guys who were the most excited? The gamers.
Apparently it’s a lot easier to bring your set-up in the car than on a plane. No checked bags. More monitors. That sort of thing.
The gaming here….. I don’t even know what to say. There are guys who’ve brought every single piece of gaming equipment they own: double monitors, PC rigs, you name it. If you took it away, they’d be lost. All they do is play Call of Duty or Fortnite, or whatever, for hours. It’s how they spend their free time, since we can’t leave the hotel or go into anyone’s room — except I don’t even think they’d want to, because that would screw up their gaming.
And they’re all talking — no, sorry, yelling — on their mics. I can hear them through the walls. Total insanity. I’ve spent most of the past month listening to Andreas talk to his computer screen. I always give him a hard time about it. (Around 9:30 p.m., I’ll knock on the wall so he knows it’s time to put that thing away for the night.)
Gaming aside, everyone’s been pretty cool...

So, even though they can't win games, the Oilers probably have some pretty high scores on Call of Duty. Good thing Neal bangs on the wall or Andreas might forget to go to sleep. I wonder what happens to the guys with rooms that aren't adjacent to him.
