I didn't think it looked heated at all myself. If that's what CBC crew said it seems like they might be making a mountain out of a mole hill.

He was probably telling Kapanen to shoot there instead of pass, which is kind of dumb since they scored anyway, lol.

Just the PK, and I'm not sure the exact name either way. Though he seems to fit with Edmonton's 5 v 5 system as well.

GYB had the same discussion.
They were of 2 thoughts - either giving him grief over that earlier play or telling him”keep doing what your doing and good things will happen”, as a firm, hard type reinforcement. Hard to really know.
Too bad one of the intrepid reporters didn’t ask about it.

4 trashcans, pretty good. I don't watch much of these intermission shows McLean and Principe ruin them for me. I don't mind Bieska and can handle some of Gazdic, used to like Botterill but not much anymore. Can't stand Friedman or McLean. But I"m saying all of this with it as background noise usually.

Looks like a player to me. Can skate. Has poise with the puck. Can pass and make plays. Waiver wire and 1M cap hit, can’t go wrong. Bowman just improved the team for free.
It is great to finally see a guy who plays like a football RB next to McDavid- no f***ing around, just take the puck and go. His ability to create lanes with look-offs and stutter steps is also a nice add to that line. Now if KK can learn to shoot teams will have to back off even more, so let's get him some lessons with Leon stat!

As long as the producer keeps her in that chair, I am fine with Jennifer. Her side profile is toight.

28, big, fast, just needs his confidence back. There's definitely some talent there. He just looks better and more efficient than Skinner or Arvidsson. The Oilers need guys who fit, are younger and fast, maybe even bigger, Not guys who have accomplished more, smaller, and older. We have enough guys with experience to lead them.
Yeah the mix hasn't been right so far this year. That said, it's not like the team hasn't been getting chances.
I just think if you put Skinner with two faster guys, he would start putting up better numbers. As would Henrique. But you play all of your old slow guys together, and it doesn't work. I think Kapanen and Kane will help a lot with the mix, hopefully.

Kapanen- McDavid - Hyman
Arvidsson - Draisaitl - Kane
Skinner - RNH -trade Target(young speedy player)
Brown - Henrique - Janmark
Now thats a deep fast core if we are to have a decent playoff team. That 4th line would eat other teams up for lunch as a 4th line.

Savoie might fit that open spot, that's really interesting.
Or Savoie might fit with McDavid and Hyman and Kapanen with Nuge and Skinner.
Lots of option when they're healthy.

Looks like Frank from Shameless.

Edmonton Ex-Pat who still loves his hometown team.
Been 2 games, so I'm not ready to anoint him just yet, but it has been a decent 2 games admittedly. It's whether he continues, or falls back to his levels of recent play or not that we will have to see.
That said, if he keeps it up, it's a homerun of a waiver claim.

Need more physicality in the lineup especially for the playoffs.

Apparently pod doesn't exist anymore
Feels like we haven't had that since Ryan Jones. Could've been a solid contributor until that eye injury derailed his career.
Savoie is definitely trending right now for the Condors too. Lowetide was just giving him praise.

I really hope he gets a call into the weekend, he needs a look with the players the Oilers have out.
Though for cap reasons, it makes perfect sense they haven't recalled him now.

missed him. Extra on that third line, but still need that extra speedy winger
Garbo Man
Meh
I've never played pro (was too lazy to put in the work to get there as a teenager) but I think I might actually be a better hockey player than Josh Brown. That's how bad he is
