Late Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v Columbus
Good: McDavid's a miracle worker. Finally the team found life
Bad: Watching a game in person, I can see why the offense struggles. They prefer to pass instead of shooting on goal and they are bad at passing!
But a win is a win!

Takeaways from tonights #Oilers v Blues
It just seemed like sloppy defence in our own zone tonight. I don't recall any horrid giveaways. Just difficulty clearing the zone, and getting to rebounds
And there seemed to be a lot of rebounds.

Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers v Rangers
- Getting better is never a straight line
- Skinner seems to be regressing
I'm not in the 'Skinner has to go' group. He was good when the team sucked. He's earned some time to find his game. But he needs to improve. The clock is ticking.

Takeaways from tonight's #Oilers and Mammoth:
- Looks like the offense is back! It's been a long time since they had that 5+ goals in a period.
- Skinner still had 'that one goal'. But he was the better goalie tonight. That's all you can ask for.
Also, Sportsnet, be better!

Takeaways from today's #Oilers v Devils.
- Too pass happy, as usual 😭
- They don't seem to adjust for different ice surfaces. NJ is known for not having the best ice. They need to simplify.
So much for not having an early season slump.

- a Bouchard special
- bad penalties
- a well deserved loss
That's the early season Oilers we haven't gotten this year, until now.
They better fix whatever that was by Saturday.

Check out this chart. I wanted to know, is it true that players are not signing this year?
The past 4 years, by Oct 1, 6-9 players signed with more than a 6.5% cap hit. This year, there was only 1, Kaprizov.
Now that Kaprizov signed (and Hughes Oct 1), will the dominoes fall?

Thoughts on tonight's #Oilers vs Kraken preseason game
- How can you tell Savoie is making the team? He played the most minutes out of any Oilers forward

Matt Savoie spent the summer training with #Oilers staff to improve his strength and conditioning. And in the first rookie game, it really showed. He was easily the best player on the ice.
Hopefully he's playing in today's game too.
