Either way, it's a one year deal. No need to lose sleep over it. Edmonton isn't even thinking playoffs, the way you are. They have a long way to go before then. Although the blue line has improved, it still sucks. There's no way they can make it to the playoffs with the current line up.

And again, being a side line coach or GM, with absolutely nothing on the line, it's easy to call out what they should do.

Considering some of the hits he's taken...I don't think fragile has anything to do with it.


BUT...from seeing him practice recently and his interview with the press, he looks to be okay. This may not be a major concussion he's dealing with.

Just talking about the team I follow. Isn't that the point of an NHL thread? It seems there's a general consensus to write the shortest posts possible with the least amount of info.

I'm all for hearing about the teams you guys follow- makes it exciting to see the different sides of the league from a fan perspective. Half the time you guys post, I have no fucking clue what you're talking about... nor do I want to scour the Internet to find out.

It's hockey, guys. This shit is supposed to be discussed!

Matthews is looking pretty amazing .. but then again, its against the Sens

i hope this is all part of a Sens strategy to steal the #1 pick from Edmonton this year.

I'd rather see the Green Bay packers win the Superbowl 12312432421 times over than see Edmonton get another #1 overall pick. Please no.

It won't happen again. I promise you.

I mean, they'll still suck shit, but their odds of getting the pick are slim.

Frankly, I think the honors of 1st overall may go to the Vancouver Rioters.

It could be any number of Canadian teams. Let's see how the season plays out... it's the injuries that destroy teams. Who's to say Toronto won't get the pick again?

I'm curious what will happen to Vancouver though... the sedins are getting old...

Well, I think Calgary will probably contend for a WC spot. Habs should be okay...I like their additions. The Sens are talented and if they can play well with Boucher's system...they could also contend for a WC spot.

Peggers, Oilers, Leaves will improve...but, not make playoffs IMO. So, that would leave the Riots to finish last. I don't see any other team doing as poorly as them? Maybe the Canes?

Same thing with Connor McDavid. No matter how good he turns out to be, he won't win shit in Edmonton. No Canadian team will for that matter

Rangers have one one more win than last year against the Isles.

Overall good game, but three defensive lapses on the rush.
