I don't mind the Fire Pit. The Fire Place, on the other hand, I don't like at all. That's where we go to rest and warm up. A place to mellow out. I agree, looks amazing. Hopefully that's very close to the final engineering. Though I understand council is now trying to address noise restriction by-laws. Hopefully that works out. edit Hope your summer's going great, outside of the constant horrible news with the water mains, now Jasper.😭

Studies in contrast... Bowman: remained silent. Oilers fans: refusing to remain silent. Fans don't seem to gaf about a great season anymore. How tone-deaf does your ownership and mgmt groups have to be? I guess we're finding out. Unbelievable.

By drafting the next Aho and Wyatt Johnson?

That's not unusual at all. The worst part of going downstairs to play is walking upstairs with your gear after playing. Especially for goalies. Mercifully, they don't make old leather and horse hair pads anymore, or goalies would be laughing at even the strongest skater's matchstick legs. lol

Minor hiccup. For clarity, I know you meant Mantha. Imho, Zary and Pospisil are still developing a consistent NHL game. While I'd like to see one or both eventually become centers, year 2 is too fast for my liking. I'd just keep that line together. I get what you're saying about developing them as Cs, I just don't think we need to race into it. Time is definitely on our side, if nothing else is. lol

They’re the same age. Zary has a late birthday so his draft year got pushed back.

Oilers top brass have set their twitters to private in prep for announcing Stan Bowman as their GM today.

It's hard to imagine that Pelletier came in and impressed Sutter enough early (even though benched later), but now can't make this roster. Unless that injury seriously affected his abilities, he's always been highly motivated. For me, he should be able to mimic a Zary-like impact. He's never been behind Zary as a prospect, so it's up to him to make it translate to the NHL.

I was more fearful that it would just be glass overkill. The seating does somewhat resemble the LCA. If I understood correctly, the playing surface is maybe 10m below grade? That's similar to LCA at about 12m below grade. Lots of digging to start. Anyone know if the actual land access and design specs are available yet? No concourse plans have been shared just yet, that I can tell. Here's a fun little walk through vid of LCA's main concourse. What is really funny is seeing my daughter walk by on her way to the washroom.lol When you see him hit the Huntington entrance, that's the end area of the rink. His vid starts and ends at the main entrance. There are 2 more narrower concourses above, so 3 levels, which sounds the same as the cauldron design.

The Cauldron. Damn. I wish that was my idea. lol

Didn't present any concourse pics, but looks fantastic. They should have hired a public speaker, buddy was nervous af. lol

Hey, when we're good, we can call it The Cauldron! That's kind of epic!!

How much $$ for naming rights you ask, Doug Lacey? The Headings are dumb for being blacked out. You have to highlight them. But the $ figure is avg/yr. http://www.espn.com/sportsbusiness/s/stadiumnames.html
