If it's late enough, they should be out in 4.

If thats possible, were going after May long weekend it would be a blissful trip.

Last year I had to suffer watching the game at the fireside camp during Oilers playoff hockey with no Flames, makes me want to drink more Flora De Cana.

It was a game I wanted, but whatevs.

At this point there is no real reason to look at the positives.

 

what are the negatives?

 

we lost a totally meaningless game to the regular season fairy, move up in the draft, didn't injure anyone, and we still get to watch them fizzle out in the playoffs when it matters.

 

 

It's not like beating the Oilers is anything to write home about anyway.

I was referring to a loss in the earlier part of the season can have some positives.

Like your young goalie got reps and didn't crap the bed.

Or you developed a young winger become a NHL full timer.

We didn't bother with those two scenarios in this meaningless game.

 

The negatives?  We didn't shut up the Oiler fans in the building.

We had to listen to Louie call another Douche-bomb goal.

Even though it was deflected off Rooney's head.

Sharangovich and Kozmenko look like the real deal.

 

Kylington was ok

 

Those guys all poised to mess with our rebuild lol.  Some positives.  We don't really want a 19 year old winger to emerge as a star right now, I feel like it wouldn't be the right time and we'd have to ship them off if they did.

I'm cutting Shilly some slack, since he displaying a lot of good things.  He went from a man on man defense last time he player 2 seasons ago to zone, without a single pre-season game or camp.  

 

Sharky and Kuz are both players that make this team look better than they are most nights.  I found it funny that Zary was tasked with playing C, going up against the McD or Nuge.  

 

Unfortunately, though the GM recognizes the need to rebuild, I suspect he will be looking to make the playoffs this coming season.  He will sign a top 4 D if one is available and less than 30.  He will no doubt be looking for a top 6 C.  I just hope that whatever he is planning on adding, it's recognizes the need for them to be long term plans not immediate.
