Here’s my daily Oilers thought after last night: They’re flat out the best team in the West. It looks like 97 is not going to take no for an answer this year. And after some deliberation I’ve decided Cody Ceci is a good serviceable defenceman and an undercover great signing

One of the biggest changes I've seen under coach Knoblauch is the sudden appearance of set faceoff plays in the offensive zone. Here's another one: Watch Connor get lost behind the net, puck changes sides, and Ekholm activates down the weak side. That's fun to watch #LetsGoOilers

One time when I was with Edmonton, Anaheim came to town and Andrew Cogliano was coming over to surprise Joey Moss. We told Joey someone was coming to say hi and asked him, well which Ducks player used to play for the Oilers? He answered Todd Marchant. I’ll never forget that.

Now a positive Knoblauch observation. His go-to move sending a fresh 97+29 (and usually 18) out after a penalty kill is lethal. They’re either matching up against a tired PP2 or a depth line. Also that was not offside. Anyway #LetsGoOilers

Turning pro and climbing up the ranks you’re told by coaches and management on a daily basis to ‘be a good pro’, and to ‘treat others with respect’ and to ‘do the little things right’. My personal favourite, to ‘control what you can control’. What a hypocritical example to set
