Apparently the owners are fine with that though.

So far the Lucic Richardson and Lewis line looks the best for the Flames.

Gawdin and Popisil also looking good early.

On D Zadorov in handling the puck well.

How many people did that contract have to go through. Honestly all the people that signed off on it should be fired.

Fans are lining up in the concourse buying jerseys expressly to throw on the ice.

I am starting to think the $2M caphit is there so that no one claims Gudbranson off waivers, and Tre doesn't spend picks on depth D-men at the deadline. Or is it just wishful thinking on my part?

I will say I like Pospisal yet again. He looks like he might steal an extra forward roster spot out of camp if he keeps this up.

Hey, there. There's the Oilers defense we know and love.

These units look like they don't know how to navigate through the neutral zone with a puck.


Now the pain of watching this team is all rushing back to me.

Ruzicka might have something to say about that.

Pelletier getting minutes with Backlund and Dube makes me excited!

I probably missed the news or the thread here, but is Blasty back this season, or was that a one-off thing?

I know Pelletier is with Dubes and Backlund but I feel like a line with him, Ruzicka and Pospisil would be an amazing line.

Yes, he's looking solid as well.

Nice to see some prospects looking to make the jump. Neither were high draft picks too.

Jeepers.

I made a simple comment about general lack of ability to move the puck out of the defensive zone cleanly, and their inability to cleanly gain the zone. It says nothing about the entire season - but those are issues that plagued last year’s team.

Also, it’s 4 of our top 6 defenceman and 6 of our top-12 forwards. It’s not like we’re playing…a roster like the Oilers are.

Vladar is having himself quite a period. Solid first impression.

Harvey's not wearing a mask. What's up with that?

No Blasty this year. Thank the maker.
