Peter Tessier: Heritage Classic Weekend Finishes for Proud City A recap of the event that was the Heritage Classic, something that Winnipeg should be proud for as the host city.

Must burn you, because you really thought your team was better then the oilers. Your worst nightmare is happening. The oilers figured it out, and have the best player in the game. Haha

Was the weather really cooperative? I heard the game was postponed by like 3 hours

it was too sunny, and as a result the ice would have melted if they played. they had to wait a couple of hours for the sun to move out of position of the stadium.

Not really- Oilers have not played anyone decent so let's talk in 20 games.

Those retro jerseys were awesome to see and a great reminder of when the two teams were in the Smythe division. Was really tugging at my heart strings which is rare since my people have no soul.

Wait what? There was an outdoor game?

They did handle St. Louis fairly well, but yeah... Can't get too excited just 6 games in.

I believe it was more of a visibility issue for the players. Glare off the ice and Messier's head if he went capless

10 years in last place and after 6 games this season the oilers have figured it out!! guess success comes easy when all you have to do is not finish 30th.. and next season will be a success also you won't finish 30th you'll be 31st right behind las vegas

The Oilers have sucked really bad, but they haven't finished last place every year over the last 10 seasons... They've actually finished last twice.

Winnipeg great town,maybe the best fans in the nhl!and I would have loved to be there,but the game was boring, maybe toronto or Chicago? ,aside from good ol t.o. boy McDavid not much to see,probably the lowest tv rated game imo

Our defence needs help. I hate to say it, but we might need Trouba.
Morrissey-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Trouba
Chairot-Myers
Morrissey can continue to hold up Byfuglien until he decides to stop being a liability out there and returns to Big Buff form. Trouba plays with Enstrom (which should've happened 3 years ago), whom is also the best partner to have when getting back into game shape. Myers gets bumped down (as he's been god awful) to strengthen the 3rd pairing. Also, Chairot. He's there too.

The salt. We will. Ahah

Put Schiefele back with Wheeler and Ehlers.

If Connor is going to play with Burmi and Tanev, he would be better off finding his game with the Moose.

Speaking of Burmi......faceoff percentage is currently 29.7%
Schielefe 44.2 Lowry 45.1
Perreault is the stud at 55%.
