I'm not one to put a ton of stock into preseason goaltending because it's a position where you need some time to get into a groove, but I've never been sold on him as a prospect. I still think we let Ortio go too soon, on the other hand.

Trouble is no one wants to pick up a dud on waivers that they have to keep on their NHL team.

Not a chance.
If you are a minor pro goalie and you are getting minutes in the NHL preseason you are playing all out. No question about it in my mind.

Gillies will not be claimed

Still, pretty awful positioning. Poor guy is done.

Need to have a second look myself.

Either way, the following play where he had no idea whatsoever where the puck was? Yikes

Oilers memorabilia auction with the auctioneer wearing a #97 "McAuctioneer" jersey is so Edmonton.

The flames can put him in the ahl and sit him in the pressbox if they have 2. He can sit until he agrees to go to the echl. It is harsh, but you gotta play parsons and Zag.

Why does absolutely everything about the Oilers suck so hard? I genuinely can’t think of one good thing about that organization. From the team to the uniforms to the in house entertainment to the play by play guys (for both radio and TV)... all of it is just awful. Even the DJ is playing crap music.

Those orange jerseys are just hideous. Why did they change to those turds?

I got autocorrected but i think it’s just oilers announcers are really accentuating the bay part of it more than they should.

Kinda like when Rene bourque got introduced to Montreal media and he corrected them by pronouncing bourque “Bork”

Dube is similar “dub-eh” not “du bay”

I also think their marketing guys are purposely creating garbage to see if it sells and it does.

[Flash Walken]

Stone is an adventure.

Imo the worst quality to have in a defender is a bad first couple of strides, and that's stones major issue: agility.

[ComixZone]

I was really hoping Jankowski would be doing more this pre-season. He’s probably my least-favourite roster player. His compete level just doesn’t seem high enough.

[WhiteTiger]

Is the FB stream not showing the info box/score/clock for anyone else?

[getbak]

Gah.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Just for kicks, I'd like to see the Flames poach Anton Burdasov off of the Oilers.

[bubbsy]

Lol man, Gillies.
