Kleptomaniac looked good. One of the Oilers' best players.
I thought Reinhardt was ok. He got burned a couple of times and his foot speed needs work.
Other than Frolik I wasn't overly impressed with any flames players and Hamilton made a couple of bad mistakes. No big deal, it's preseason but it was a bit underwhelming.

Watched bits and pieces of both games. Didn't see much urgency from the veterans, but it's preseason, I'd rather they not go get hurt trying to win meaningless games.
Ferland hit on Klinkhammer was awesome.
Kylington is good. I like him a lot.
McDavid wasn't all that noticeable, had a couple of assists. Didn't look bad at all but definitely didn't look "generational". Still was named first star of the game... The propaganda has begun.
All i have to say is don't **** with Nurse, the guy is a monster, he messed up the 6'6 goon for being stupid.
Honestly after watching the fight again I'd say it was even or smith won. It seems like he landed more good shots, partially because nurse had no helmet. Smiths nose got cut with the visor and people see a little blood and think it's a win.

I hate to say it but that Gaudreau kid can play, he's going to be a good one for the flames.
You clearly don't know what you're talking about, and you're trying to make a point from a position of a serious lack of knowledge.
So just stop.
Nurse's physical skills are impressive, he does a lot of the physical things well. But he reminds me of Phaneuf in terms of his decision making and attention to detail.
That might hold him back, because its something that's pretty tough to teach.

That Kyllington goal is insane... Mark Fayne is a good nhl defenseman, and Kyllington just about made him fall over. That's some Johnny level edge work at play, and he's doing it at warp 8.

May I just say Kylington looks effing awesome? Should've been more talked about than McDavid in that Edmonton game, well if these media nutcases put aside the hype for a second (ffs, he was invisible much of the game and one assist was on an empty net..dear lord). The way Oliver skates and handles the puck is so smooth and fun to watch.
Didn't realize how good our second rounders this past draft actually were (Andersson too). The group up there held their own just fine, we only coughed up the lead when McDonald drew in, who I'm gonna be honest I'm not impressed with (2 goals on 7 shots tonight). But yeah, nbd..
Looks like Hiller and Ramo could both steal us victories early in the season again while the team gets their legs under them. They're both in pretty fine form already. Didn't get to see much of Ortio, but heard he was alright too.
You just know the boys will shut down McHype and friends when it actually counts.
