Looking forward to seeing how Philp does!! Mildly concerned for Eckholm, though: In this morning's presser, when asked if he could give a more specific update about him not skating in practice, Knobs just said, "no, i can't." If it was just a flu bug or maintenance rest, you'd think he would just share that.
I like the way Kapanen plays and what he provides to the team. I think he is a skilled player, and besides that he fights hard for loose pucks. I would like him to score a goal against the Wild. Other than that, it would be nice to see more than one single goal today, by the way... 😅Go Oilers!!!
I might have some bias as I have a personal dislike for Knoblauch but I don't under the J.Skinner situation . Never given a fair shot and when he gets a short look he looked good and still gets the scratch . If he's being traded it better be for somebody physical
Doesn't Jeff Skinner have a Modified No Trade Clause + No Waive? Either way I think he will Waive that considering he's a talented player probably not happy he's sitting out. I do imagine though that he does want to go to a other team that's looking to compete. Maybe LA? Rangers could be an option they need a shake up and probably still are in win now mode.
Scheduled loss.. I think it will he a 3-2 Wild OT win. I think it will be a fun good game but Wild are very good. I say the 2025 Hart winner (Draisaitl) and Hyman gets the 2 goals
Minnesota has the best logo, what a work of art!
I was thinking how clever that logo was the last time Oil played them.

I saw that, I hope he's ok
Oilers are gonna go wild!
OILERS WIN! Lets get it.
Really feels like the J Skinner experiment is over
Another crucial game, need a W would put them 2pts behind VGK! Lets Go Oilers

I hope we smash em again. 5 to 3 Edmonton Me thinks. I think Leon is going to have a beast game!
Good prediction 👍
Let hope the Oilers can take advantage of a beat up team. Need this win, Go Oilers Go.
I’ll give it a 3-2 oil victory - player to watch is Arvi, I’m banking on a goal & assist from Arvi tonight.
Here is the script: 5-3 oilers win
From Gary Betmann
Thanks, Gary!
You're a wizard, Gary
Got a feeling a Bouch bomb is coming !!
Let’s go Oilers!4:2 Oilers
We couldn't afford Holloway at $2.3M but Skinner at $3M sitting in the press box somehow makes sense? This team is a quandary sometimes.
Coach to Skin, “We would rather play short one forward than let you on the ice.” Skin, “I’m calling my agent.” Coach, “Go ahead, make my day punk.”
First comment sweet, 4-2 oilers
We need Jeff Skinner to win the cup to continue the tradition of ex Sabres winning it lol

I'd bet he ends up in San Jose!
