Morning, folks!

Last links for a couple days as we head into the (Canadian) Thanksgiving long weekend. The Oilers were victorious last night against the Vancouver Canucks on the back of their O’Doyle of a power play (it rules and is a bully), but Zack Kassian took a tumble during a fight that saw him fall skull-first onto the ice and require assistance to get off. It was really ugly stuff and you hate to see it.

Hoping for a speedy recovery and no long-term effects.

Otherwise, enjoy getting intimate with some poultry and gravy this weekend, and we’ll see you Tuesday.

They also ponder whether there could be some changes inside the crease as the year goes on and give their ideal Oiler rosters for opening night!
