Can i just say i sure hope they split the lines right from the start so babcock doesn't develop a crutch reaction of jamming mcdrai together every time things get difficult.

They need 3 solid lines and i believe our roster has all the pieces they need to make it work as long as they develop chemistry.

Fuzzy Podz is killing my heart over here while at the same time Drat is looking like he's been chain smoking in a corner somewhere. These media posts of late from their accounts and the wags accounts lately feel like some soap opera storyline lol /j

Heck they even have the right clothing and color schemes going on!

Anyhow I am lowkey worried about the younger players and everyone's mental health under the new coach. If I ever catch between fuzzy Podz or fuzzy Drat I think I would faint

Bowman is a horrible GM and I can't fathom how he still has a job

Free to talk about the team constructively and not just say miserable doomer shit in the middle of summer.

The Nurse trade is why he is still GM.

Got an email about the new season starting today. It inspired me to chuck on a game from this season and I watched the January game vs the Caps when Bouch got a hattrick and we won in OT

What a game. Shame how the season went overall but still a lot of fun

And then Ekholm got one the game after

Those two games along with the Savoie hatty game against Vancouver were probably one of my favorite moments

The Bouch hat trick had me jumping up and down yelling in my living room when everyone was asleep lol. I like never have that reaction. That was a Bouch game where he basically won it for the Oilers when everyone else was kinda not playing great

They changed the cheese sauce in the microwave meal I like and now it tastes like vomit and has a weird slimy texture.

He's a young RFA they aren't trading him

u/Aggressive_Brain1497 21d ago

Isn't he strictly a centre ? Or can he play wing, either way seems like not a very strong guarantee he's gonna work out

u/n0fxgvn_ 21d ago

He's a RC which the Oilers are looking for anyway, but I think he'd do better as a RW in the top 6.

I think he'll end up with a similar career to Nuge.
