Oilers all the way! I may be slightly bias.

Edmonton will be fun to watch again. I like the changes they made on offense, but would have liked to see more focus on defense. Skinner and Campbell will be better than last year, especially the former, and Ekholm will do well in his first full year on defense. They will make the playoffs, and will have to perform better than they have in previous years. I'm looking forward to their season. Hopefully they don't have any significant injuries like the one that took Kane out of a big chunk of the season last year.

@windinhishair if Kane can remain healthy each of those three should reach 40 goals. Looking forward to the start of the season to see what the third line will look like. Hoping they can turn a corner this year.

@Canuckle Hard to fault Kane for his injury last year. He isn't likely to have his wrist sliced with a skate again.

They will almost certainly be in the playoffs again. Then the season resets and they will need good defense and goaltending to win it all.

@windinhishair yes agreed. Skinner and Campbell have to be better than last year, especially in the playoffs.

Does anyone outside of Edmonton actually care aboot the Oilers, eh? Especially in the summer?

@RedBaron isn’t SW where you get your sporting news? 😂 Drumming up support for the cup run! 😂

@Canuckle No, but here in NYC, we appreciated Mark Messier’s help in bringing the Rangers a rare cup win!

@Canuckle Yeah,on tv😠 They priced me out of watching sports...and not just the Isles The Gi'nts and Dodgers flew to the left coast ,the Mets tickets are outta sight..sad,I used to bring my glove to games ,hoping to catch a foul tip,which I did in the 90s (sans Mitt)⚾

@bookerdana I agree. Sports tickets are priced so darn high. The tv sports package for a year is cheaper than two people going to a game.
