Default Canadian Womens Gold Medalist Shannon Szabados To Practice With Oilers Today

Pretty cool opportunity for her. Kinda buried with the few other small things happening over the last few days...

Best women's team in the NHL?




ADD - This is a pretty cool opportunity for her, and I'm sure both parties are having fun with it

She has more heart than the entire Oilers team. They should sign her up.

Shannon Szabados is a world class individual and a great competitor. Good for her for getting an afternoon in with an NHL team, even if it is a gong-show team like the Oiler.

Shannon has two gold medals, she knows more about winning than the entire Oilers roster.

Although only players can get medals I have little doubt Kevin Lowe has three Olympic medals he made himself hanging in his office somewhere.

Think she'll yell at them for their pathetic defensive coverage during practice drills?

Why? She's a hockey player, she can carry her own equipment. It isn't Atom hockey here.

Why not? If it she was practicing with the Flames I think it'd be neat. It was on the oilers twitter, not the front page of the Globe & Mail

Yakupov beats her with a nice snap shot and celebrates by sliding to centre ice on his knees
