As an Oiler fan living on the East Coast, I am severly jealous that you get to go to the practices, let alone to the games. Thanks for the updates.
Went to the scrimmage today. Did anybody else see it? The boys looked good.
A couple of points:
The biggest ovation went to Darcy Hordichuk LOL.
Mark Fistric way laying the body! He had a couple of great hits. LOL, dude, these are your teammates!!! :-)
Nail Yakupov looked amazing. Blazing speed, he was ALWAYS first on the back check, blistering shot and OOZING confidence. Perhaps overconfident!
As an Oiler fan, we may struggle to make the playoffs, but it WILL be exciting hockey.

Bought a minipack... nothing like supporting the lockout right? =/
Playoffs this year for sure. The Oilers are going to really surprise people with the pace of hockey they play. People who know me around here know I am negative about the team, but no longer. This is the year they make their turnaround with a postseason appearance and it's only getting better from there.
I can't wait for the whining from people to happen - I certainly did my fair share about the winning Canucks!!
I was reading today on twitter that the Oilers are investigating the waiver process as it pertains to Wade Redden. Will this be Cam Barker 2.0?

Someone needs to explain this to me. If they claim him off waivers does that mean they are on the hook for his whole salary or with these buyouts is this the way they have to go about signing him to a reasonable deal because if it's the first option I'll just go ahead and start a bonfire with all my Oilers gear and then throw myself into the pile.
No, for better or worse, Tambellini today mentioned that they are satisified with the current defensive group.
I hear ya there bud.

This is why I love youtube. Schultz and Yaks messing around at camp. This is about to be on yahoo and deadspin.

A good clip to show for the Stanley Cup Final montage versus the Rangers this year.
We gotta stay healthy and Dubnyk needs to be consistent if we want to make playoffs. But I will say I'm more hopeful this year than in recent memory.
Got tickets for the following games:
Vs MIN Feb 21st
Vs DET Mar 15th
Vs VAN Mar 30th
Vs ANA Apr 21st
I think people will be laughing at the thought of "only" making the playoffs by the end of the season.
Didn't TSN pick you guys to miss...?
Edmonton won't make the playoffs. I think they'll take a step forward, but definitely no playoffs.

This season I'm not saying definite about anything. Remember the house of cards that was the Minnesota Wild at mid-season last year?
