One of the things that the Oilers are looking at is Nurse and Bouchard on the top pairing and I think I like it, or at least the possibility of what it could be. If Bouchard can maintain the composure he developed with Ekholm and produce offensively while keeping Nurse honest playing defensively and not trying to do too much, it could be magic. The reason I say this is that Nurse did not look that great last season and I think it could have been because he was trying to do too much. If he can simplify things and take care of business to let Bouchard handle the bulk of the offensive side. This doesn't mean that Bouchard can't continue to work on and improve his defense while Nurse also contributes occasionally on offense. At the bare minimum it deserves a try.
Also in Ekholm's interviews he mentioned talking to Broberg and how much talent and potential he sees in Broberg. The seating arrangement seems to suggest that Ekholm and Broberg may indeed be tryed as a pair since they now sit next to each other.

Akey DID look really good for his age, seems composed and mature out there for an 18 yr old, doesn't panic. The 3rd rookie game he was trying to do too much and he struggled but other then that game he's played very well. Good stuff. Very early with him but good signs, wouldn't surprise me one bit to see him challenging for an NHL job come 25/26. Fingees crossed.

Complete joke we can't watch this game online. Oiler's homesite trying to milk their most devoted fans to sign-up to Oilers Plus. Bite me. If you have TSN it's on tv though, I do not have TSN. Gonna search for a stream, hoping to find it on youtube but no luck yet. GOG! edit) not minding this guy's play by play...

Lavoie is not waiver exempt, and this is a problem afaic. I fear he will be get snagged if exposed, and he's a good player. His problem is he's not a center and we really only have 1 spot avail.

Lavoie tends to show up then disappear for a few games. That's the knock on him. Game was on TSN3 out East but I am using an IPTV. We had very few NHLers this game. Lavoie and Holloway with some good looks but no finish but it's only one game. They did have a positive impact however, they had chances and that's where it starts.

Woo-hoo, televised game tonight and we should see NHLers in the line-up tonight including McD and Drai so I read somewhere, we'll see. I wonder if Jack or Stu will be in net? Can we score some goals tonight lol? Still 2 weeks till season starts, seems so far away ugh. Then we only have 8 games in Oct with plenty of rest in between games, silly.
