That's up for debate. May take the longest but toughest?

I was praying MTL wouldn't take any more penalties toward the end. I couldn't watch any more of that PP. Unreal bad. Unreal. The worst I've seen in a long time. I knew Klefbom was a key piece, but did I totally underestimate his value? Me thinks maybe I did. Barrie is VERY underwhelming. They need to quit forcing the predictable, get back to KISS, and get some shots on the net. And please, NO MORE CHIASSON, guy's got zero finish.

I'll be watching MTL closely for the next few games to see it they're legit that good, or if the Oilers are legit that bad. They made us look like a Peewee team for the better part of two games.

I haven't watched him enough to know, but something seems off there. He's a 29 year old defenceman, in the prime of his game, who's put up an average 48 pts/year for the last seven years. Looking at those numbers, who wouldn't want him on their team!?! But, it's his 3rd team in 3 years and he signed a one year deal for $3.75M.

I know it's early, but Montreal is 3rd in the league and Edmonton is 3rd last, from a simple points perspective (and one of those teams is Dallas who hasn't played any games).

Doubt it based off their performance so far.

Game 1, no show, out skated, outworked.

Game 2, came to play.

Games 3-4 , again no shows for most of the players. Game 3 - CArey Price played really good for Montreal. What was that in game 4, 6-7 PPs.....and no goals. Quit the pretty passing around the umbrella for the ideal shot and shoot/get the puck to the NET !!

BTW, I am an Oilers Fan and I have not been impressed at all with lack of work ethic by most players. They drop these 2 games coming up and heads should rolling by the players account.

To be fair, it’s a pretty rocky start for lots of teams, not much of training camps and such, this year is gonna take a few weeks for things to start clicking.

It's funny, teams moan about pre-season and how just adds unnecessary risk of injury. They wanted to get rid of it for a while, so now that it's gone teams are struggling. Wonder if this will change their view.

A good bet that the Soilers. Lose by a DEUCE again in the heart of hockey. Jumbo will laugh at McJesus again since he won’t fight his own battles like he is a 50 lb Skinny Petey.

So this is the big bad Leafs? They don't look anything like powerhouse.

Hey
We should try for more goals when we’re a man up.

Good German.

Better game. Better goal tending. More hustle.
