Easy to forget it's preseason and we've played half rosters most nights.

End of the day;
Hall
Arcobello
Gordon
Acton

Aint pretty.

Survival mode for october. And then awhile till nuge and gags are on level footing.

Bad luck for such an important year for the oilers

oh god
I hope Eager/Brown/Mac at least make some games entertaining especially against the nucks

good call

I know its just pre season but did anyone call Joensu?
- Killbot460

I did. That female dog that does the blogs for the Islanders gave me the inside scoop on him.

Further to the Jones debacle... I (frank)ing said he was a waste of a signed contract in the offseason and I was (frank)ing right...

Meh, not like it was a horrible contract. We needed depth and it didn't hurt us in anyway.

so far he looked like what I thought Harti was going to be.

Compromise --> we get Burke and Lowe to fight it out via russian roulette!
- ChetManly

Done!

Jason LaBackup didn't look all that horrid last night

so far he looked like what I thought Harti was going to be.
- Killbot460

At what they signed him for, I think he will be just fine. Looks better than harti so far.

But he is black. girl's will get pregnant by him just from him smiling at them.
I'm predicting the entire Octane crew are baby mama's in 2 years from now when Nurse is full-time.

Donger?

I'd rather have him and waive him to the AHL then wish we had him.

why you dont think Nurse can knock up a reporter?
- saskoil21

Nurse was created to play hockey. Where his penis is supposed to be, there's actually a slot where extra pucks come out.

- ruttager17

Isn't he bigger? He seems faster too. I liked the signing and have liked what he has done so far.

Til then we are bottom dwellers... and even with them there is alot to be desired with this lineup. Rimmer should be ahead of Labarbara IMO... but whatever
- saskoil21

You're insane.

I think Stepan is quite overrated and if we are trading one of our best prospects I rather go for a d-man. With that being said if there was a way to unload Hemsky in a separate move I could be on board with this.
- Lahey

Fair enough. I suppose for the most part Stepan isn't really the two-way centre we need. That guy's name is Martin Hanzal and I'll just pre-empt everyone before the get into it: Hanzal, So Hot Right Now. Hanzal

Our D looks better than our forwards for the moment but I'll agree in the go-ahead we'll need some higher end talent. Will it be Nurse and Klefbom? The bright side is that they and Fedun have shown that it's pretty safe to ditch Nick Schultz after this season with little to no consequence.

Likely true but he played better than Labarbara hands down...
- saskoil21

You're underrating LaBarbara

I'm stoked with Him so far!!

- ChetManly

For sure.

In other news, Tim Thomas wins the starting job in Florida... No surprise there.

Nope, it should be great for Markstrom though! It'll be interesting to see how his contract goes, plus Florida's ability to perhaps win a game too!

I wonder if he has an anti-gay clause in his contract... That (frank)ing douche.

- laughs2907

Well in that case, it has to be true. It's not like it was on Fox where they make poop up.

good call

- Killbot460

I thought he'd bring an element we needed in the bottom-6 as I had watched him play in the Finnish League, but I certainly didn't expect him to be such a tireless worker on the ice!
