Weird. This has been a surprisingly quiet pre-season for the Oilers. Yes, there are the annual laughable predictions of Stanley Cup wins, but it feels like this is most commonly accompanied by a firehose of anecdotal nonsense about all the amazing things that are happening in Oilers training camp. Where is John Shannon breathlessly reporting the latest genius tactics that the Beav' has introduced to on-ice sessions? Where is David Staples's 67 paragraph summaries of all the "Grade A" scoring chances that McHobo had during power play drills? Where is Mark Specter to tell the world about the Oilers's 17th consecutive Championship in 2040?
