that’s not what the Toronto media thinks after the Laffs go 0-2 to start the preseason.
That f***ing place.

Here we go again !
Anyone else kind of excited to watch some somewhat meaningless Oilers hockey in the preseason and early regular season? Don't get me wrong, I will never forget that playoff run - but being able to breath while watching the game and function at work on game days is something I look forward to.

I think the idea of a new season is always refreshing and nice to look forward to.
I just wish I could turn the TV on and watch the games personally. Combined with not having many exciting prospects it just sort of kills the motivation for me personally. Hopefully the last few games will be more enjoyable though.
I do understand the idea of watching without stress though haha

Not gonna lie I watched the first Ottawa/leafs game and Tanev looked awfulthat’s not what the Toronto media thinks after the Laffs go 0-2 to start the preseason.

O'Reilly probably headed back to London after tonight given his spot in the lineup, but good for him and his development to get this many games in.
On the other end of the spectrum, Hoffman is really getting a longggg look. I have trouble seeing him not being signed given the usage so far. Another nice goal/assist in this game probably seals it.

There is really no room on the roster for him. Unless he signs to get buried in the AHL for a call up otherwise it’ll be another team giving him a contract

Probably reading too much into it but I do wonder if the organization just doesn’t see Ryan as a C. Seems to be playing pretty far down in the line up as well.

It seems to kind of be that way, although I think they do like him at Center on the PK.
With McLeod gone and them using LD less on the PK that'll probably be one of the things that they still feel Ryan can bring for them.
He has pretty much been on the 4th line the last couple of years and most of last year was RW. He has lost a step and they want some size at the 4C position as well which bodes well for Philp.
Right hand draw at C but once the PK starts there is just F1 and F2, no real centre other than who takes the draws. Agree Ryan is a very good penalty killer.

Very true, but that initial faceoff is crucial.
That PK is already going to be down Ceci and Desharnais on the backend, and potentially a banged up Nurse to start. Gonna be interesting to see how it all shakes out

Unfortunately, we’re going to have to watch more professional beer league for just a bit longer

Oh i'm sure Spector will have something f***ing stupid to ask if we lose tonight.
He isn't anymore. 4th line winger but not even full time there for me.
Wait is this implying that they think O'Reilly could be a 4c this year? Thats crazy if so. Not in a bad way either.

Is 32nd overall pick from 2024 Sam O'Reilly following the template of 33rd overall pick from 2009 Ryan O'Reilly?
I doubt it, but that'd sure be pretty damn cool.

im the opposite, im finding it hard to get excited for the start of the season and " meaningless" games.

I think they traded up for him because he's close to making the NHL. He looked good in that one game and they might be projecting for him to fill that Holloway hole.
