Didn't we get to clap Edmonton like 8 to 1 before the turd around last season?

I read one Oiler's fan state something like: "It's still pre-season. The season doesn't start until we fire the coach". LOL

Yep, we were the last team to play them *before* they went on their run. We beat them 6-3 at home. They rattled off 8 straight wins after that, including one against us.

yep, we were in control of that game 5-1 at one point, and then they just flipped a switch and dominated play in the 3rd in that game. We had a 5-2 lead entering that period and it still felt like we were lucky to hold on from what I remember from being there.

Michkov has scored his first NHL goal. We're all doomed 
On another note, they'll get better but man the Oilers are really struggling right now

Yeah, I'm watching too. The second goal was much more impressive than the first. Kid's good.

Lol, Oilers scored and get it waived off immediately for goalie interference.

from what someone on here said it sounded like he gamed the system to avoid going to Anaheim, Columbus, San Jose, and Montreal due to the dysfunction of those franchises.

Yes, Friedman has mentioned it multiple times. It would not be the first time across sports that a guy used the leverage he has to manipulate his landing spot. He had the leverage of the KHL and the 3 year contract. Apparently he had extra/more meetings with the Flyers than other teams and let them know he specifically wanted to be a Flyer. I haven't heard it mentioned what he told other teams, but I'm sure they got the picture of where they stood. As I mentioned that last time this was brought up, any team could have called his bluff. I'm betting he would have still come over. But not every team wants to deal with a potential gamble and headache with a top 5 pick.
And hey, it cuts both ways, since the Flyers blew their relationship with another highly touted prospect last year. We can look on the postitive side with that.

I saw the Russell Brand commercial for that product on Twitter at some point yesterday and it seemed pretty obvious he didn't give a shit about the product and he knew what he was saying was bullshit and was even being presented as bullshit. There are a lot of mind numbingly dumb folks out there. I wonder if Tavares started using this before or after Corey Perry scrambled his brains a few years ago.

You mean the Russell Brand that was accused of sexual assault multiple times that's suddenly taken a HARD turn into DEEP Christianity might be deceitful? I refuse to believe it.
Excerpts from Athletic's analysis of this year's NHL rosters:
Players (20 years ago, USA was 15%):
Canadian 41.2%
American 28.6%
Euro 30.2%
How sourced:
1st Round 42.6%
2nd+ Rounds 46.1%
Undrafted 11.3%
but Goalies:
1st Round 9%
5-7th Round 20% (comparatively, d is 10%)
not drafted +15%
Average Age: 28.1 (9, 20 years or younger; 5, 38 or older)
Average Height: 73.6" (8, 5'8" or less; 13, 5'9)
Boston tallest (1/2" higher than next team) with 16 players 6'3" or higher
Colorado shortest with 12 players 5'10" to 6'
Weight: 201.1 lbs (10, 238-257 10, 162-170)
Toronto is heaviest with only 4 players under 199 lbs.
Looks like Boston and Toronto have made a point to get bigger/heavier. Perhaps a counter to Florida and Tampa's size.

Stamkos finally has his first point with the Predators
Update. Not enough as Detroit wins in regulation. Predators with all the splashy signings and giving Saros an 8 year deal isn't currently working. 0-5-0, their schedule hasn't been very difficult either.

Damn, Preds. Even the Carolina Panthers have a win this season.

To the left of the net, over the net, and into the goalie’s chest.
