I suppose their odds are at least better with only 7 teams to play.

It's not, it's actually pretty reasonable. However. I have little faith he can repeat it, especially with Klefbom out and Nurse, Bear, Jones, and Barrie as your top four.
Your second and third stringers though!

I don't know if its the right time for hockey , billionaires and millionaires convinced people of government on many levels that hockey players should miss a beat
Yet the ordinary joe's get nothing
hairdressers locked out
family business shut down
ushers at the games no working
restaurants closed
parking attendants no working
the list can go on
I couldn't visit my grandchildren on Christmas Day because of lock out
but Mcdavid isn't missing his cheque
I love hockey more than most but a lot of minimum wage average joe's are out of work
pretty tough to cheer for either Oilers or Flames when so so many small business's have there backs against the wall

I was sad for Jarome too. Crap teams and bad timing.
Lots of damn good players without cup rings. Its a big league and the toughest league championship to win in pro sports.

Similar boat as you re the Christmas time with family Gord but maybe getting hockey back is more about us getting something to cheer for and some normalcy back in our lives than millionaires playing a game.
Check out the Covid and Politics threads here in the general discussion area and tell me there isn't some that could use some normalcy in their lives right now.
If it saves just ONE head from exploding...

Hopefully that second “axis” line of kohun-draisaitl-Yamamoto can put up some points.

It would be awesome to have the Oilers excel out of the basement. The new structure will be interesting.

Yep agree. You have to appreciate Jarome because he was a home grown Alberta boy, and he always had class. I really wish he had gotten his ring when they beat Tampa in Ot game 6 on Marty Gelina's goal.
Hey SNS2, you knew Marty somehow didn't you?

If the mighty Oil have a better season than the Flamers... you owe me.
If the (never gin happen) Flamers have a better season than the Oil... I owe you one bottle.
We have an accord good sir.
Go Oil!!!!

Instead, I would ask for a special Pixelshooter mortgage. Worth more than a bottle. Damn good banker if I do say so myself!

Let's try and keep the politics out of a good hockey thread. You can take it to the flames thread, as there isn't much going to go on over there.
Oilers are going to rule the Northern Division. Let's go boys, one game at at time.

Ken Holland didn't get the goalie he wanted (and now we lost another to a waiver pickup) but he did pretty good work putting together a plan B. The general consensus is that the team is much deeper and that it looks pretty good on paper. How it plays out, we're gonna find out pretty quick.
No real home ice advantage. The Oilers will be paying a tribute to Joey Moss tonight.

With a Canadian division, which guarantees that four Canadian teams make the playoffs, the odds of out Alberta teams making the playoffs, just increased dramatically. And it guarantees that a Canadian team makes the semi finals, so even if they are all pathetic, at least one of them gets to play in the semi finals.
