Goaltending will continue to be an issue. Talbot needs to start like he finished, but behind him they are weak.

Caggiula looking good however.

I've already said this before, Cagg will be the 3c or 4c option by the beginning of the season.

Jesus Christ! That account is 3 1/2 years old? Where has the time gone?

Just pull out one of your alts

Dammit! Just did it again. Zoom in, hit the number, blog comes up. Our thread is asleep right now. Figured I'd see what's happening in my time zone.
So, on a serious note, what are you guys predicting for the Oilers this season?
- Isleshockeyman

Probably will move up into or near a wild card spot. I don't expect EDM to become a top 5 team in the NHL just yet, but we have to see how our current team gels, especially with the additions of Larsson and Lucic.

Conservative prediction - Near a wild card spot
Leeway prediction - in a guaranteed playoff spot (not a wild card spot)

Nice cheap shot by Labate... (frank)ing plug

GhostofRC and Flameout are still in jail for some time.

Personally, I don't think you guys are that far off from a playoff team. Closer than most people think, imo. Good young talent.

As much as I would love to report you on a daily basis, I've been busy with Organic Chemistry lab reports recently.

Organic Chem 350 is one of the best but hardest courses ever. Hope you fail it!

Should be improved this year but still many question marks.

Trust me, I feel your pain. Been there, he'll still there to a degree. If only we could get a real gm & coach, that would help.

I think that Larsson for Hall deal has made the Oilers a much better team.

I agree 100%

I have an A so far in the course and an A in the lab portion as well.



The course is tough mainly since it takes so much of your time, but it is a great class nonetheless, mainly since it's interesting (Inorg. chem was sooooo boring - only useful thing was the freezing point depression trick, mainly since we live in AB).

Isn't organic chemistry basically how to cook meth ?

Remember that show, "Weird Science"? I legit spent my last two years of high school in the lab trying to create that woman.

That one definitely had some malware... I was talking about the one from the TV series.

Reinhart scored... Damn, what a great player.

You don't live in Alberta.

Lab wise, pretty much .
Plus we get to mess with alcohol and poop.

You don't live in Alberta.

Ya I do.

How else would I have gotten accepted into UoA... or even yet, why would I have even applied there?

Edit: I used to live in Houston, Texas (Born in Edmonton (stayed there for 14 years), moved to San Diego, and then to Houston, AND finally back to Edmonton).

Clearly Norris worthy.

Are AHL players eligible for the Norris?
