Is it true that Ethan Bear has been a healthy scratch 2 of the last three and Caleb Jones has been sitting in the press box for 4 of the last 5?
That's so weird if true. Why would the coaches of their teams sit such high quality defensemen like that?

If Holland wasn't going to include Broberg, Bouchard, Samorukov, or his 1st rounder for Taylor Hall, why would he do it for Tomas Tatar?
So Tatar to Edmonton for Bouchard, the rights to Jesse Puljujarvi and Sam Gagner? As much as Oilers fans are going to buck against this, Holland is a GM who understands Tatar’s value. The
#habs
could throw in a lesser D prospect to replace Bouchard in the Oilers system.

I adore watching this team play and have for near 30 years regardless of who is on the roster. Regardless of their record.
I can't watch other hockey teams with the same passion as I do the Oilers.
They're in my blood

Fantastic win! I thought tonight's lineup seemed a bit weak but the

Personally, I would've given Klefbom a letter instead of Nurse. I've seen the team completely fall off the rails a couple of times when Klef's been out of the lineup now and he's not going into the summer with an expiring deal.
77's an integral piece to this team's success IMO.

I gotta say, I'm not sure if Edmonton should be sitting Tyler Ennis for Dominik Kahun anymore.

Watch this effort from Lucic in the season opener last year to get McDavid his hat-trick goal. Does that look like a player that forgot how to play hockey or that the game has passed him by? Does he look slow on that play?
Lucic CAN help the Oilers in 2018/19.

Sounds like Darnell Nurse will be signing a 2-year deal worth around $5.6M aav according to McKenzie/Dreger.
That makes me happy. A solid number that reflects his current ability. It also gives them time to develop Broberg/Samorukov.

See, everyone is expecting Kassian to get his revenge on Tkachuk, but I reckon he's going to take it out on Calgary's other players and if Tkachuk decides to step up, game on.

If other GMs are asking for one of the following in trade negotiations:

- Dmitri Samorukov
- Philip Broberg

I'm of the belief that MIN wanted Bouchard in a Zucker deal.

Matthews is good but my Lord, he's not even in the same stratosphere has McDavid and Draisaitl this year.
McDavid (six) & Draisaitl (five) combined for ELEVEN points to each achieve career nights while Smith locked it down in the cage with 31 saves as the

Joel Persson is really picking up his game in the second period. The skill on this little pass is something the

My personal feeling is that the Kassian contract will disappoint the

"The Oilers need a goalie and — if Oscar Klefbom requires shoulder surgery —another top-four defenceman. And yet, the team didn’t draft either of those position."
Why would a team draft players in those positions when the requirement to replace them is needed now not in 5 years?
