You don't play games in Abby with your main roster ever and this would have been a good chance to let families who can't afford games to come see them. Organizational fail if you ask me.

Oilers also don't really spread their minutes out. Mcdavid and Draisaitl eat up nearly 30 minutes a lot of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there my be a bit of fear of injury to regulars. maybe I'm wrong, just think Rick's being overly careful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hopeful because last thing we need/want is a rinse and repeat of Travis Green hockey. And if EP has a down season (even first half season) points wise because of the system being implemented I think we might be saying bye bye to the alien. Doubtful, I'm guessing their are going with an overly defensive system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We managed to play pretty entertaining hockey with Tocchet from January on. Hopefully we can match that again when we have our full roster rolling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckfanforlife82 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) It's funny how this organization screws themselves in terms of exciting the fanbase. It's so important to get everyone on board and they have failed to do that this preseason so far after the abysmal season last year. They can't score and have struggled to sustain pressure. It's hard to get excited about the prospects who have shown nothing really. Edited October 5, 2023 by Canuckfanforlife82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit hyperbolic but I see your point. I'm not sure if it's a spread thing or a lack of trust (for good reason) with the lack of depth on their 4th line type of players.

Heronek playing with Soucey is -1 then a plus 1 so this is a good test. Myers really took out a guy on that last goal so that one is on DeSmith.
