GDT: Around The League 24/25. Preseason ends, the regular season begins!!

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

There's a point where I just can't take joy in the suffering of others anymore. This team really needs to put it together and quick because they aren't sneaking up on anyone this year.

I always take joy in a Leafs or Flames loss. In fact add Vegas to the list.

As for our Oiler team I was not expecting a fast start after seeing yet another blown preseason by yet another coach. But I didn’t anticipate 2-4-1 however the next 4 games they better turn it around. Not the toughest of competition.

Seems gutting the right side of the D and losing the finals in the last game is proving to be a tougher hurdle for the boys than they thought.

the Oilers have been one of the favorites for a few years now...they haven't "snuck" up on anyone in a long time

I think last year because of their slow start they caught teams off guard and even I think the Dallas Stars underestimated their ability to play defense and smother them.

I think it's amusing that the Flames keep winning because I get to see the despair in some of my friends who root for them, knowing that the Flames will inevitably end up with a terrible draft pick.

I wish we were as good as the Flames and Jets.

I guess we should have kept McLeod, Broberg and Holloway.

Maybe look at bringing Hall, Yam Fries and Pulju back as well.

I don’t think we would be any better with McLeod, Broberg and Holloway personally. But I think it raises another question. Seems like players who leave here are more productive. And the players that come here are less productive. Why?

Former Oiler Moe Lemay passed away a few days ago. Mostly known as a canuck he won a cup with the oilers. Sounds like with many former Nhlers he life went sideways after the game was done
