I love the summer but I am ready for some hockey. The Oilers have 10 back to backs this season and a 6 game eastern road swing in December. At first glance the schedule is pretty balanced with the BOA spread out more than last year. We shall see but I think December could be a tougher month than the rest. I am eager to see some games, pre-season or otherwise.

I've been loving my summer, but I also miss exciting Oilers hockey. Training camp and things start up Sept. 5th, ARRGHH....so close and yet sooo far away.

Sam Gagner and Brent Sutter both snagged PTO's, good luck to them both. With Gagner, I'm a little biased as I was always a fan of 89. I hope he can make the team because I think he can bring a lot to the team, if his fitness levels allow him to earn a spot.

Having Sutter and Gagner added to the tryouts makes for good comp with the rookies so may the best player win! I'm hoping a rookie breaks through or sutter can find his level of 3-4 years ago. I actually think Sam is going to get an off ice position after camp maybe in Bako, it will be great to have him around longterm for the rookies

I know camp is right around the corner, but it seems to taking forever!! I can't wait to read what each guy has done over the off season to get or stay in shape. What have they been working on to improve?
It really seems to be crucial to get a good start to the season by having a good off season and followed by a good camp. Let the competition for the last few spots begin!

The Gagner feelgood story is nice and I'll be rooting for him in to join the org in some capacity but I'm not sure he checks too many boxes for us. The desire and work ethic is there though so we'll see. Sutter on the other hand may be. I don't really remember how he was but from what I hear he's good on the dot and as well on the PK. I like the sounds of that. That said, I believe Pederson has the inside track on both of them to fill a 4th line role along with Jans and likely Ryan. Hoping Lavoie has something to say about that though and is a pleasant surprise at camp possibly earning a spot. The time for him is now.

The captain's 1st team skate has happened. The whole team that played minutes for the team last year is all back in Edmonton. It sounds like Brown is there also. There are some pics on the Oilers site. HERE WE GO !!

Jake Sloan 19 yr old camp invite who is 6'3" and 209lbs scored 2 goals tonight against the jr. Canucks, the only Oilers goals so far. Might the Oilers be interested in acquiring Jake's rights if he was to continue to produce?

Lots of camp invites this year. You have to have a sub to oilers now to watch tonight's game which is silly but you can watch the first Oilers hockey of the season by watching the full game on the jets YouTube channel for free.

I missed the game last night. Judging by the re-cap on the homesite it looks like the Oil rooks dominated most the game. Shots 36-14, 8 powerplays. Music! Hoping to catch tonight's game. Go mini Oilers Go!

Go mini Oilers Go! I watched the first, initially thought they'd get goalied. So when the Jets scored at the end I turned it off.

Me too. Akey is only 18 too, gonna start keeping a closer eye on him, arrows are pointing waay up! A++++ Several youngsters have looked pretty decent, better then I anticipated tbh. We haven't lost in regulation since 2013 in this tourney, that's crazy! See if the boys can keep the streak alive vs a pretty good mini-Canucks squad tomorrow afternoon?! Go Mini Oilers Go!!

I'm very interested to see how the Oil and Flames start the season. Flames have low expectations, and Oilers expectations are high as they should be.
Can the Oilers defend? Can the Flames score?
Oils PP will do well, but can the PK do equally as well? Flames PP will change without Toffoli, PK I think will be just ok.

I will not be buying Oilers+ and don't support them changing for something that should be free. It's not like the Oilers organization needs the extra money... total cash grab.
