Looked up canola allergy. That made me laugh, had to see if it was real

What about bacon grease ?

He got turned around a number of times, looked slow as (frank), and he blew defensive coverage a number of times. He got destroyed possession wise (34% of shot attempts) and cnsidering he was playing secondary opposition against a LARGELY AHL quality forward roster, that's a horrible sign. It's one game, but he was horrid. One final doesn't justify his otherwise bad play.

Bah, I was trying to see the good in him but the points you brought up just cannot be ignored. This definitely doesn't look good for Chia though.

Don't read too much into a preseason game... Remember when Mike Comrie led the preseason in scoring and the proceeded to suck all year.

Probably EDMHOCKEYMAN crying again.
- NEONDOUBLEDION

Yeah, cause I spent my time in class at uni reporting hockeybuzz posters cause, clearly, I have nothing else better to do.

I remember. Remember when Brad Hunt looked "unstoppable" in the pre-season a couple years back?

Nonetheless, I see your point.

yeah just double checked that, but still (frank) Mike Comrie

Like I said, it's just one game but it certainly isn't a good sign for a guy who absolutely NEEDS to have a strong year. We'll see if he can come in next game and reverse the early trajectory.

It's preseason in the first game with a new team and he hadn't had anytime to practise with McDavid. I would cut him some slack, just like we aren't handing Reinhart the Norris yet.

We're talking about Reinhart

Kind of like Larsson after game one right?

Careful you are going to get lumped in with me and Big Iggy
- NEONDOUBLEDION

Mr. Bone will never be lumped in with you two.

As Mr. Bone just showed you, you don't have to be a wiener to make make your point.

Yeah, I get it, I went to far with my optimism and enthusiasm. It's a weakness of mine that I've got to work on.

I fail to see how Reinhart will get the Norris this year, with guys like Larsson in the NHL

Yeah, I get it, I went to far with my optimism and enthusiasm. It's a weakness of mine that I've got to work on.

Always better to recognize your weaknesses and work on them rather than double down on them the way a lot of people do

Hopefully. Or else Chia is gonna be a getting some phone calls from some really angry Oiler fans because of that Reinhart trade.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Great statement.

Chia is probably the only person in history to trade the first & 2nd overall picks from one draft.

Such a baller.
