I kinda hope Nurse gets in, even if he only plays 10-ish minutes.

[BlackDogg]

Have to watch Katz+ if you want to see this. I see what they did there.

Sounds like Monday possibly according to Matheson.

 

[McDrai]

Will be happy with a close game win or lose. It’s been a bit rough with Oilers and Elk teams getting decimated the past week (yes I know it’s preseason but I still like to watch a win lol)

[Mr Kot]

Seamus still getting cracks at it, pretty good sign for a recent late draftee

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

O’Reilly playing with the 4th line wingers is a tell. Should be good to watch the competition between the forwards fighting for spots. Similarly on the D. I hope Kemp shows well. I doubt he beats any of the vets out but pulling for him.

Pretty much a lock that the 2nd and 3rd lines playing vs Vancouver on Monday.

 

[FlameChampion]

Guessing Skinner-Draisaitl-Arviddson and Janmark-Henrique-Brown and Nurse-Emberson play Monday. Maybe see fullish roster last 2 games?

It’s interesting that SOR is centering Podkolzin and Perry.

Third and fourth lines are kind of weird.

Interesting yes but I wouldn't want him sticking around in that capacity.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Pop line. Or Porp. Hopefully its not Perp, Pork, or suck.

I don't want to see the SOS line either. Looks like I'll be this way all day. lol

 

[McHelpus]

O'Reilly has a chance to make the team, he might play all out these next few games.

O'Reilly has a chance to make the team, he might play all out these next few games.

What is the benefit of this? He hasn't outplayed Philp for instance. Send him to London and have him be their top line center there assuming there isn't someone better still there.

I would amend that second line is pretty weird too. Even weirder that its a 2nd line. Please start regular season!

im guessing they are seeing something in practices that favour him over Philp. You can't really compare the games they've played against each other. Im guessing it's a drive and willingness to compete on SORs part that is keeping in the picture.

Pretty surprised that Josh Brown isn't playing tonight

Normally I feel like preseason takes forever. For some reason I feel like its flying by this year.

don't worry, there's still almost a week break between the last preseason game and the start of the oilers season. It'll feel long soon enough.

Has a spot locked down

He's out with the realtor looking for a nice house.
