...will add to the allure of attending an Oilers game in person
How bad is it up there that a change in how the red line is painted has this affect? Next they will have brown dress shoes and not just black ones that can go with sweatpants.

Excuse me!? Who do you think you are? "Let's Go!" is exclusive to his Connorness. A mere mortal like you shouldn't try to wield the mighty leadership power that such a phrase carries, even when quoting others.

This is the most incendiary burn I've read on Edmonton in a while.

Really? I'd say about the same. Not worse and definitely not better.

It's funny that two of their additions are PTOs who they don't have cap space to sign, even at league minimum.

Also, I wasn't aware they had brought Caligula back. Poor guy must have thought he had escaped.

Did they really sign Caggiula or do they just think they did. Like how Holland thinks he signed Sutter this summer but it was actually Brown.

They tweeted about the Caggiula deal but it’s not listed on capfriendly. Probably forgot to register it with the league.

The thing they have going for them though is if you ruin a guys career he eventually runs out of options and has to come back to you. E=NG

Definitely better than the opening roster from last season.

Will have to wait until after the trade deadline to accurately assess if this year's roster is better on paper than the one that ended last season.

One thing we DON'T need to wait on in order to accurately assess is whether any of your posts will be better than they were last year. They won't be. They won't age well, and whether you think so or not.....E=NG now, and forever.

Will have to wait until end of October to be 100% certain this year's roster is worse on the ice and on paper than the one that ended last season.
