GDT: Oilers rookies @ Flames rookies - 7pm

[CycloneSweep]

Jesus. Can’t even exit the zone right now and it seems the Flames have had more high quality chances in 10 minutes than they had all last game.

Starrett literally can not do a thing right right now. I’d look for that spot to be shuffled.

Calgary sitting there best forward and we have 3 guys who think they can make the big club this year and they are getting embarrassed.

Abysmal showing by our rooks

 

[Tobias Kahun]

No audio is better than audio right now.

 

[Oilhawks]

These guys are looking like they want to get sent home in the first cut. Oy. Thankfully Holland stocked the depth cupboards lol

You do know that players who are closer to the NHL typically don't really care about this game? Just not trying to get hurt.

Much more important for fringe players looking for contracts and such to show up.

Wouldn't expect you to think of that though.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

There’s some fight. Like Benson asserting himself.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Benson gets the penalty there? Thats a f***ing joke lmao, someone hit the ref in the jaw with a puck.

 

[48g90a138pts]

Why are we getting the only penalty?

meh, these games mean very little

Oilers used to dominate the Penticton tourny...didn't translate into much

 

[McTonyBrar]

Benson gets a penalty for getting punched in the face

 

[ChaoticOrange]

How the f*** is that a penalty AGAINST?

I'm sorry, but if you are a rookie trying to make the big club you get looked at from now till the end of camp. Getting embarrassed by a bunch for nobodies isn't a way for the team to think highly of you

I wouldn't expect you to do more than give excuses

 

[FlameChampion]

Benson gets a penalty for getting hit in the face? Officiating hasnt changed.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Oilers player gets checked up high, winds up on the bottom in the scrum, Flames go on the power play.

Yep, the NHL is back.

Yeah but you look at the individual players too and outside of like...2 shifts, everyone looks like trash

 

[Oilhawks]

Refs in midseason form.

 

[duul]

Dominating what? We have spent most of the game trying to pass the neutral zone. He looks better than the other guys but that's not saying much

Every time he has had the puck he has rushed it up the ice or made a great breakout pass to exit cleanly. He's miles ahead of everyone else on this Oilers team so far. Hasn't scored or anything, but damn he is playing well.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Want to see Mcleod get a bunch of pk tim during preseason he reads plays so well on the defensive end I think that'll be a hidden worth for him as a prospect right now.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Rodrigue getting better.

Im not making up excuses, but you scream after a sample size of one game.

 

[48g90a138pts]

Refs in midseason form.

Did the city of Calgary move to California or something.

What a joke

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Starret is bad wow

 

[Tobias Kahun]

These announcers have no idea, getting the puck first doesn't matter anymore, and it hasn't mattered for years.

 

[OilerMcLord]

Would a single Oiler PLEASE take the body for once!!! Please!

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Yeah but you look at the individual players too and outside of like...2 shifts, everyone looks like trash

and Samorukov looked horrible last year while Tkachev looked amazing in Penticton years ago

these small sample size mean very little IMO

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Think im gonna head to the rink and put my gear on, try out for starretts spot.

 

[FlameChampion]

Whys Starett on the PP? :c
