Prospect Info: Oilers Rookie at the Penticton Young Stars Classic

[Mr Positive]

If the team in general is worse then it's hard to even judge individual performances. These games are interesting but I want to see Savoie skating with the main NHL team in preseason to really judge him. Same for guys like Pederson.

This place is always a hoot for knee-jerk reactions to meaningless games

You just know some people here aren’t joking when they said fire the coach.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

They aren't meaningless. They wouldn't go if they were meaningless.

This board loves their prospects and this tournament until they don't. Hilarious.

The results are meaningless
If it meant anything, the Oilers would have the best drafting and development among the 4 teams there because they went like 5 years without an L

Agree with that. But I don't think anyone is talking about the score. Just the performances. Lots of focus on the prospect pool because of who we just lost to offer sheets. There isn't a lot of backfill.

I'd say the results are expected, so in that way they are meaningless. This is what happens when your prospect pool is constantly plundered. It's not like our pool is secretly good. But, that doesn't mean there aren't good players there that will fill out the roster in the coming years

these guys have been together for that 4 days before this game?

There is nothing to read into.

No Akey, no watch.

I couldn’t watch it even if I wanted to. Did anyone stand out in the lost?

 

[Louis Cypher]

Lol... already a poll on the mains Lekk vs Savoie... after 1 rookie pre season game and Savoie surrounded by a tire fire... lol the desperation

I just bought Savoie's rookie card. Should I return it now?

I was just about to say "well it doesn't look good for the guy behind the bench then"

What's Woody doing? Lol

 

[Oilhawks]

Imagine being so desperate for any sort of W that you need to try and aggressively push this. Didn’t see the game, but I saw a clip on twitter of Lekk dangling some camp invite scrub and then missing the net. I’m assuming this is what has their panties wet?

The rub for them - I don’t think a single Oiler fan actually cares if Lekk is better than Savoie.

Canucks fans are like the popular girl that never gets to be the prom queen in teen movies.

Remember when they got mega excited over Virtanen having a better rookie game than McDavid in 2015, lol.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Why don't they at least put Savoie in the middle to get him some touches?

no room on the top.3 lines for Savoie at center

[Oilslick941611]

Pre season or not. These guys are absolute stank. Terrible cast of players. No one can read a play offensively at all. Savoie also pretty wack this game. Just floating around all game. Hopefully this is not the norm for this guy.

this isn't even preseason. It's pre-preseason. There is nothing to read from these games win or loss. They'll play 2-3 games in quick succession after being thrown together and on ice for 3 days before playing games. They'llmove on to real camp or go back to JR.


The real injustice is putting these poor players in NHL jerseys. Apparently its making fans think that these are NHLers and deserving of criticism

absolutely is meaningless in terms of NHL impact. The players playing tonight will improve over time or not. This isn't half of our AHL team... There's nothing to read here, it's about getting ready for camp and setting scheduling and getting in game shape.

Another victory for the illustrious Nucks dynasty. Wow! What a show! We’re so lucky to be able to witness this era of Nucks hockey.

/s just in case

 

[oilers'72]

Liked Savoie's PK work. Saw the dynamic skating there and processor. Minimal offence side of the puck but did get a nice slot shot away. Like Clattenberg's consistent engagement every shift. O'Reilly seeming to come and go.

Lajoie caught up ice on the goal against. Not sure what happened at the o-blue line but puck past him for an odd man rush. Doesn't look very physical despite his size. More of an area defender.

Marelli beat again to give up a high danger chance. His forte is clearly on the other end of the ice.

Lot of scrabble play expected of a first game scrimmage.

I come to read about the game and get hit by a load of...

Montreal brought NHL veteran Arber Xhekaj to the rookie tournament against the leafs, who were wearing practice jerseys...Is Montreal that desperate for wins. LOL

Read the f***ing room

Disagree. Most of those kids are playing for a contract.

very possible, I didn't look it up. I thought Florian was a bruin prospect for some reason.

Disagree. Most of those kids are playing for a contract.

Ok, well, continue to get mad at these kids then. I won't get in the way.
