The old "instead of continuing to defend the post, pull your leg in and don't move at all, creating an easy bank goal opportunity off your pad" move. Page 85 of the Dustin Schwartz goalie handbook.

I missed the opening, did the Oilers do a banner raising or video acknowledgement to last year? IS there a new banner?

Poor Emberson - going to be tough to show he's an NHLer dragging around a boat anchor.

lol, at one point Nurse just skated right into Emberson for no reason. 2nd RHD spot is gonna be very interesting this year for sure. I would guess the orgs current dream is we can get to the deadline in a comfy position with what we have. Gut feel is that is a big gamble, if we have any interest in home ice advantage in any series in the playoffs.

and if they get to that point to they find someone that can help them for this year more than 86 could have? I'm not sure. Holland clearly burned that bridge before he left but I still think they would have been better to go into LTIR and have a defenceman in hand for at least a couple of years. Oh well - we'll see what they can do with the cap space in the spring.

I personally don't think Borberg on his off side was going to be a solution. But ... they should have done something. Even just not trading Ceci as some insurance. Maybe Grier would have taken something else for Emberson.
We're straight up gambling now with what we have.

I think the plan is to bandaid this until Jan/Feb and then to use the extra cap space to get someone for the playoff run. Given where we're at, I'm not sure that isn't the best path left available to us.

Not a ton of great UFAs-to-be, so may have to be creative and look beyond that. Neal Pionk or David Savard are maybe the best available on teams who might not be contenders. After that it's not great so may need to find a way to get someone with term if those guys aren't the ones.

So many hopes and dreams on the shoulders of a guy with 31 (as of today) games on his resume :)
I would hate to think the org actually thought Stecher or Dermott could survive with Nurse. At least Emberson had some mystery around him with an apparent ability to survive the SJ Sharks disaster in a small sample size.

Ha! Yeah I saw that.. poor Emberson standing there looking puzzled as to what Nurse was trying to do.. in the end just tried to get out of Nurse's way as he skates into him..
I watched some of the St. louis v Kraken yesterday.. watched Broberg.. guy is lights out better than Nurse.. skates like the wind.. actually has some hockey IQ.. <sigh>
That Nurse contract has cost the Oilers .. lost some good players..

Nobody digging the **** in.. as usual.
Weak ass effort by RNH on the 1st..
Nurse taking the 3rd man high on a 3 on 2.. making it a 2 on 1.. for the 2nd.

Starting to think we are gonna end up with Drai-McDavid-Hyman
and probably would be best with Skinner-Henrique-Arvidsson. Nuge on the 3rd line.
Just sick of Nuge on the 1st line 5v5.

LOL! 5-0 game 1.. based on the pre-season I'm not surprised.. I could see this turning into another long losing streak.. start looking over your shoulder Knoblauch!
Skinner looks done.. makes me look back at Foegle with fondness
Bouchard, Ekholm, and Kulak are decent D.. rest are plugs.

I mean he's always been a bit of a sieve but I think they should maybe try Pickard first before a winger.

Lol, that weak call, after calling nothing all game, on the team down 4-0 was the complete opposite of classic game management

Kind of crazy that if we just kept Campbell and kept supporting him with his mental health struggles, we could have 1.1M of extra space, plus 5M of extra LTIR. 10M to find a goalie and RHD.

Nurse needs to reinvent himself.
He needs to just be a hard nose defender. Nothing more. Being one of the hardest defenders in his division would be huge props. When he starts thinking, he always stubs his dick on something.
Just rough up forwards, move bodies, block shots and get the puck out. You’re not Hedman.

I don't think he has the smarts and awareness to be a hard nosed D. You have to be in good position, and anticipate what other players will do to catch them off guard, and punish them. He's almost always slow reacting to what's happening, and his speed/agility that would let him make up for the slow thinking is degrading every season.

Well I’m out of ideas if he can’t even figure that out.
Is there anything this simp could master?

Just let him be a free spirit. Just need a super reliable RHD that can do 80% of the passing for him!
We have a 9.25M D that needs to be heavily elevated by his D partner. It's a disaster really.
Bowman is on it though

Not going to win anything with that type of effort.
The team looked a lot slower, by a lot. Concerning. I saw the lethargy in preseason, but thought it was because it was preseason, but that same energy was present in that game.
It's only one game, but there is a trend if you are looking at the sum of games with preseason included.
The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.
Generally Disappointed.
