Stauffer looks like he picked up those 15 lbs that Michaels lost. I guess we can look forward to more of those action shots of his.

He did an interview from Penticton Monday on spitting chiclets and guy could barely talk

I truly do not understand the hate he receives; especially for his weight. Shit is whack.

Bob is taking the opposite of Ozempic. Mediterranean chicken pizza injections.

Mike Hoffman. Liked him lots during career and defended him lots. Including from that bastard Eric Karlson. But this is on the old side.

The Oilers are really going precap Dallas Stars here loading up with star players but being old. We'll see if this sort of thing works. Realize he's PTO but a guy this talented can probably make a club. Odd to see him even as a PTO.

Would be nice if he signed super cheap. Will have no shortage of shooters this year. Can always hope guys like him give their all as well for a chance to win.

The weight thing is uncalled for, for sure. But I joke saying the sweat pouring off his head looks like the grease from all his Chicken Mediterranean Pizza, with occasionally calling him 'boob' (was an inside joke because one of my friends wrote Boob instead of Bob). But it's just inside jokes. Not everyone can be as pretty as other people. Just gotta be the best at who you can be, and that's all that matters.

Looks like KK is going with mixed groups where Tippett and Woodsy split between NHL and non NHL groups. Considering that we have had shitty starts under both the former head coaches, change is probably good.

Oilers deleted the tweet right after they posted it but Jasper Weatherby, 4th round pick of San Jose in 2018 with 50 NHL GP and has spent the past three seasons in the AHL was signed to a PTO but maybe not now? Probably to see how he looks with the AHL group.

We all say the jokes out of love. Everyone still loves Bob. And deep down we all want him to stay healthy as long as possible too!

Hopes and prayers it doesn't go the way of Woody!

It shouldn't. Already saw Knob making far more good adjustments than Woody did his entire time here.

This is so much better. McLelland, Woody, and Tippett would have nonsense lines that would never play together in the NHL. 97 with some AHL-ers. Then all 3 would spend the first 10 games of the regular trying to figure out their NHL lines. I love the fact KK is going with what he is going to run in the reg season. There might be some movement based on how good someone plays and they get bumped up- but all in all- it's what we will see on Day 1

Are any of the practices open to the public?

This is the part I miss about Rexall. Go there any day to see the practices and scrimmages, park for free, even get some free food, have a great time and after several players signing autographs for fans. Was easy to go, easy to park for free and very enjoyable. Even had the Joey Moss games back then as well as the Oilers rooks vs Bears games.

It seems odd given that the whole missive of the DT arena and the public funding proportion thereof was to revitalize and get people to the DT. They should revisit making these open because its just a bad look on so many levels. I missed when it was a lot more grassroots and they would let people partake. That also connected with an audience that cannot afford to go to games. Whole families would go to the practices.

At least the one day is available. Hopefully not required to have tickets or go through ticketmaster to get in the event on Sunday.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Will be interesting to see if the Jarventie injury represents a recent setback/reinjury or continuing recovery from his knee surgery in February.

 

[Heavy Dee]

So they traded for damaged goods.

Seriously, you should run for City Council.

 

[McTonyBrar]

I was looking forward to seeing Roby Jarventie in camp. He might've made it as bottom six. Guess we'll have to focus on his AHL play now until he gets a call up.

Another reason why Mike Hoffman got a PTO?

It's a knee injury man. He'll be 100% soon

Thanks. I think. heh

 

[OfCorsiDid]

City Council can’t dictate to the Oilers what they do with their training camp.

Ultimately it’s completely up to them. But I do agree they need to bring back attendance for training camp practices and scrimmages.

Its not about dictating its about honoring the agreement and with respect to the public funded portion thereof. Its just good faith to have and allow as much community engagement as possible. Again the whole point of the DT arena was getting people down there consistently. Not just on game nights.

Not sure if you live here but DT is a ghost town any Sunday. At least this fanday will have some people out but there needs to be more free stuff going on around there. The community rink, Ford Hall, the plaza were all supposed to be about that as per the Arena deal and posturing.

lol at them having a 2.5hr window for fans and then kick them out and hey you can attend Octoberfest for 30bucks and buy our high priced beer.

It’s almost as if training camp is used to prepare for the upcoming NHL season and build chemistry with your line mates. Who knew???

No horse in this race but this is not the case with significant or recurring knee injuries at all.

With recurring knee injuries, and theres speculation this is, its not a case of getting back to 100% soon. just saying.

Ouch, my arthritis.

There’s no reason to go downtown unless it’s for a game or event. Everything you can do downtown you can do in other areas of the city without having to pay for parking or worried about getting stabbed.

I am all for piling on Woodcroft (I thought he was bad) but 97 has never played with AHL players. The core group always played together.

I did get tired of watching players like Lavoie get a shot with guys like Malone and Esposito and then people being shocked when he showed nothing.

Its maybe a little better based on lines but guess we will see. I hope KK puts younger players in better spots.
