Remember I am just a Homer, don't claim to be an expert. But I have watched the Oilers my whole life and I haven't been this excited preseason since the Jari Kurri days. We've learned to not get our hopes up too high but I am throwing caution to that this year. We have a good team.

Really, you haven't been this excited since the Jarri Curri days because you added Hyman, Ryan, Foegele, bad Keith, Ceci, lost two of your better defensive d-men, and inked some decent but not great players to awful contracts, including re-upping a 40 year old starter?
2015 would've been infinitely more exciting imo. You know, before you traded a few actually good, young top players for a six pack.
