Lazy Leon game incoming...

Wow actually having McDavid, Draisatl, and RNH on their own lines? Wild concept.

Anyway, early returns seem to be good for Necas. Maybe they knew what they were doing after all.

If you exclude empty net points Necas has more points than Rantannen. He's actually top 10 in the NHL excluding empty net points (well at least he was when I looked into this a few days ago).

Fun fact, Oilers are actually one of the deepest teams for scoring goals. we have 14 players with 5 goals or more, 6 with 10+

Yeah, this is somewhat a myth this year. Outside of PP scoring which down quite a bit, the team is bang on with what they were scoring at this point last year despite RNH, Hyman and Bouchard being down quite a bit and McDavid also being down a little... and Kane not even in the lineup.

Granted last year isn't a great benchmark for depth scoring, but overall I think it's better this year than last.

Let's not spot these guys a lead like last time. McK is going to be looking for pts to get back the scoring lead. Keep him in check and Makar as well and the Oil will win this one.

Should be a great Friday night game. I'm excited.

I'm happy to see Skinner gets a longer look in the top six and not scratched again after playing well.

Second team just to piss torsnoto off?

That's a lot of jerseys and beer...

I know I should be proud of this but all it does is make me annoyed how much this franchise subsidizes certain teams down south while they also get every break in officiating and marketing. Katz needs to start capitalizing on this more, we're a f***ing money machine and the NHL needs to respect us.
