Is it just me, or does our B team defense looks better than our D did most of last season?

The oilers sure seem to think so...

That was a pathetic display...but I wouldn't go blaming Schneider. He wasn't strong but some of those goals were unreal...he didn't get any support. Even that Eberle short-side/top shelf snipe was an incredible shot!

Face it, the Canucks just plain sucked...and Edmonton looks 100% better than last year even considering its preseason.

Which tells you all you need to know about preseason. A roster full of hungry upstarts fighting for lineup spots is much more likely to put a stomping on a veteran team that is virtually all lined up and has nothing to gain by trying. Frankly all effort would do is possibly cause some wear and tear.

Hodgson looked pretty good.
