Remembering that there is a 5 day break after this. Just Why?

I don’t get why they don’t just start the season now. hockey should not be played into mid June.

 

[Jovofan]

Agreed with pre-season being too long. We should be opening the Regular Season on Saturday night, not playing another pre-season game on Friday.

Cant wait to hear How Bouchard is better than Hughes for the 69,420th time.

Mcdavid would get 200 points playing with Hughes

The SCF schedule was absolutely f***ing stupid too. Nearly 3 weeks. Of course you have to have 3 day breaks because the players are gassed.

Can’t wait for Edmonton to pay him $11 million to go with the $9.25 million Nurse contract either.

50M for 4 players, who needs depth?

 

[VanJack]

I imagine Podz will be in the lineup or the Oil.....he should be motivated.

They said he is THE top d in the league so they really should be paying accordingly imho.

Jabs aside, last year really was their perfect window, McJesus, Drai and Bouchard all on cheaper deals and in their prime.
I'd imagine It's really hard to build a good support cast for whats left in their cap space rn and in the near future.

 

[Peen]

Bouchard was genuinely very good for a majority of the playoffs. Very good against us.

It’s true, I have no problem admitting he played better than Hughes in the series.
