Random thoughts.
The boys better come out ready with no wake up call needed. The idea of giving up early goals then trying to dig their way out of a hole reminds me of the dark final days of Cam Talbot's Oiler tenure.
Nurse has matured into one of the NHL's elite defensemen, but I don't see him as a mentor for Bouchard or any other D. I would hope that Tippett would just let these two do their thing and make the rest of the defense core take care of business.
The bottom six forwards seem to be slipping in their work ethic lately, becoming passengers content to watch Draisaitl and McDavid do the dirty work and heavy lifting. C'mon guys, don't become the weakest link on a team with so much potential.
Tippett will get this team to a decent playoff seeding, but can he prepare the squad properly for the playoffs? It's the last year of his contract, so he has to be at his best. I heard some guy named Babcock is looking in from Saskatoon, but who ever heard of a guy coming to Edmonton from Saskatchewan for better opportunities?
Goaltending is pretty fragile, but Holland apparently isn't ready to make any moves yet. Hoping Smith comes back strong and Skinner continues to show he can turn his potential into value.
Hope the officiating stops sucking, as per the NHL's promise. Bettman is a man of his word, isn't he?
Go Oilers!!!
