Can someone please just press A or X to sim next game so we can start the regular season already?

Stern stuff from the assassin-faced baby.

On the one hand - he's a generational talent who gave every ounce of everything he had and came so close to the ultimate prize to come up short, while dragging a team that simply wouldn't even be close without him into it. And it's very raw insight into a very human moment for a guy who usually shows the personality of a piece of white toast.

On the other hand - it's the Oilers, and it's pretty delicious.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

So based on practices the last few days, I'm guessing we get a lineup of...

Heinen - Miller - Boeser
DeBrusk - Pettersson - Sprong
Hoglander - Raty - Garland
Bains/Aman - Blueger - Sherwood

Hughes - Hronek
Soucy - Myers
Forbort - Desharnais

Silovs
Lankinen

Panthers win the cup and McDavid is sad. There, I spoiled the finale.

I like it. Personally I would switch Myers and Desharnais but I am not sure it makes a difference if Fobort look like he did in the preseason.

 

[Vector]

So given those lines, it's a lot like we thought. Bains and Raty are competing against Aman for a spot on the opening day line-up. If neither Friedman or Juulsen are playing, it seems they've made up their minds. Possible they find a way to keep both on the roster.

Really worried about our defense this season. It was already looking a bit rough/like a noticeable downgrade heading into the season, and now both Forbort and Juulsen look like they've possibly regressed to borderline unplayable on top of that, while none of the younger guys like Pettersson stepped up.

At least Descharnais looks good and Myers hasn't appeared to fall off yet.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Think I came pretty close!

Hope Suter and Joshua are good to go soon - that's an excellent forward lineup with everyone healthy.

D pairings are a bit more worrisome.

The thing with the d-pairings, and I said this after signing Forbort and Desharnais, is they are really just a solid #2/3 LD away from putting together a good group. Hopefully the Kings are terrible and Gavrikov makes his way over here. He'd be perfect.
