He’s not wrong.
When Leon Draisaitl was asked by @SportsnetSpec what it would be like if @cmcdavid97 lined up against him at the Olympics his response was "scary for him" and he laughed.

You are not on your own.
I’m likely out on my own here, but I don’t like the idea of a McMann trade or a Roslovic extension.

Direct shot at Knob, who has called McDrai the identity of the team. That identity is suffocating the other players. #FireKnob

Future site of an NHL outdoor game, once they finish the renovations. Happy Valley for hockey is spectacular.

There is absolutely zero reason to do this before free agency. None.
Bob Stauffer just mentioned on Oilers now that Jack Roslovic could be extended. He suggests 4 years, in the $4M range. Or slightly higher. #Oilers #LetsGoOilers

Probably need more to get McMann but this illustrates that the Oilers can and should be active at the TDL.

Partied like a Viking after the Hattie. Well earned! Rest up! More battles await.
Mattias Ekholm is day-to-day, Knoblauch confirms. Questionable for Thursday vs. SJ. #Oilers

Settles the debate about the best defensemen in the NHL. There’s Bouchard and Ekholm, 1-2, and then whoever else.
Evan Bouchard and Mattias Ekholm have become the first defensemen in NHL history to record hat tricks in consecutive games on the same team. ✍️: @Avry

The Olympics should allow a Team World made up of the best performing players and athletes not selected by their countries. That way if your country sucks, you can still cheer for the World to win.

It’s past time, especially if the players are already coaching themselves.
Watch how much faster with short puck support the Oilers played in periods one and two. How often the team came up the ice as a 5 man unit. Then count how many times they had to resort to the high flip or long bomb stretch in period 3.

I’d laugh if it was a joke. Why is Team Sweden refusing to take the best Swedish defenseman in the world, Matthias Hans Ekholm?
Welcome to Team Sweden, Marcus Johansson and Hampus Lindholm! 🇸🇪 The @mnwild forward and @NHLBruins defenseman have been added to the Olympic roster, replacing Leo Carlsson and Jonas Brodin.

Slats and Woody are the greatest Oilers coaches of all time.
