“The Hangover” seems like a good thread title.

Maybe your screen wasn't wide enough to see the whole headline.

There are still people who don't think this team is absolutely doomed when they have to pay Leon 14M and Bouchard 10+...let alone McDAvid

Craig Button on TSN - ‘ Darnell nurse defending outside of the hash marks again’. Lol. That’s all he does Craig. Also Button- ‘We know the blue line isn’t good enough, it’s not Stanley cup calibre’.
Somebody on TSN and SN isn’t drinking the kool aid.

Not sure what was more enjoyable. 6-5 Flames OT win or giggling my way through the oilers blowout highlights.

In other news: Early signs seem to suggest that signing Viktor Arvidsson and Jeff Skinner did not end up fixing the Oilers goaltending issues.

Each one is the perfect counterpoint to the other.

From an Oilers fan on their reddit. It's a great summary of their biggest fears and weaknesses heading into a season where all the pundits are predicting their success:
The Oilers are in trouble.
I believe the Oilers are in major trouble.
They lost significant speed with the departures of Foegele, McLeod, Holloway and Broberg
They are the oldest team in the league. Foot speed will be a significant issue
Jeff Skinner, was bought out for a reason and his preseason play and demotion to third line for opening night, does not inspire confidence. I believe his best days are behind him.
Draisaitl will likely regress a lot
Dismal showing in preseason
Everyone is aging on this team. Kulak, Nuge, Nurse, Ekholm, Hyman, will all likely regress, possibly a steep drop off. This is evidence based for most players in their 30s.
Emberson will be a bright spot along Nurse.
Kulak-Stecher/Dermott pairing will be liability.
Oilers power play has regressed since their historic season 2 years ago. It will continue to recess. It will still be elite, but it won't be enough to lean on for wins.
I could be wrong, but I am scared.

That Emberson kid or whatever his name is that the Oilers shrewdly got from the Sharks played over 20 minutes tonight. They have a total tweener playing more minutes than Darnell Nurse. That team is a mess
