I was really hoping for more grey for some balance.

Overall experience top tier! Game itself getting to experience ot and a shootout which was awesome. Not the result we wanted. Hey as long as we stay ahead of Vegas Knights and remaing top spot is what matters. Still a strong start to the season, Team needs a little more work with certain squads out on the ice to be more consistent.

I'm confident I wasn't the only one pi$$ed off with the Oilers ridiculous approach to broadcasting yesterday, so I went looking for the other dates where I'll need to make alternative arrangements. Figured I'd post here in case anyone else was interested.

There's a total of 14 exclusive streaming-only games this season (17% of their schedule) that are not available on traditional cable. Do they actually expect fans to purchase multiple subscriptions?

I don't subscribe to the Journal, what roster moves is David Staples talking about?

Massive Edmonton Oilers' shake-up, high-priced veteran demoted, failing line broken up

I only have cable to watch the oilers. Now they want me to sign up for the steaming service. So greedy.

loyal to the oil

Wow. 34. 24. 21... damn. -vgk fan.

I don't understand why they continue to play him rather than someone else that could probably fill the roster spot better than he can. I understand he makes minimum league but he hasn't really been that great and that turnover in the D-Zone was brutal. The line has honestly only been Mathieu Joseph and occasionally Owen Michaels.

Do you think the turnover could convince Babs to demote him? Howard has played well and deserves a shot too.

EDIT: I should probably state that even though the game is still tied and we can still win but I feel like other than the goal against the Sharks he hasn't been doing too much, and someone else could probably be a better fit.

It gets more airtime than I would expect. A very nice break from gambling ads.

New feature from HockeyStats.Com. No surprise to see McDavid, Draisaitl, Bouchard on this list. Clearly the most dominant FFD trio / 3 v 3 in the NHL.
