Exhibition season is underway, Royal Half joins the Nation, stats predicting NHL success, Bennett and Draisaitl shine, Vladdy hockey, Phil the thrill and more in this week’s Roundup.
In the Roundup we go around the Nation Network and give you some of the best articles of the last couple weeks. Every once in a while it’s good to know what other teams are doing, or maybe you find an interesting article you wouldn’t have found otherwise.

Forecasting NHL success using in-game statistics and textual data
Random thought’s: Calgary’s cautious summer
I like what I’ve seen from Leon.
Sam Bennett makes me nervous.
Sign Tkachev plz!
You must like ‘slow’ skaters!
Bennett is speedy, highly skilled!
Leon is no slouch after the first couple strides. However let me clarify…as an Oilers fan Bennett makes me nervous. The kid really does play a fearless game with skill and speed.
Just for fun…
Bennett/Monahan/Gaudreau > RNH/Draisaitl/Yakupov.
Yea or Nay?
Hall/RNH/Ebs > Flames top 12
Probably true, but
Gio/Brodie >>> Oilers top 4
Vladdy hockey>>>>>>>>> Johnny hockey
I think you’re in the wrong Ward Sparky. At least you have computer access and all the pudding you can eat.
Just throwing it out there. Not saying it’s fact, just interested in what people thought.
They do have Tapioca though!!!
“If you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you
have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?”
Is that some dark sarcasm? 😉
No, that is some kind of Pink Floyd.
I guess you weren’t in the classroom.
Leave that kid alone.
I love how the guy who started it completely missed the subsequent reference:)
Bennet and Drai -hopefully not lost souls, but definitely living in a fish bowl.
Make it McGrattan, Engelland and Trevor Gillies for RNH/Hall?Eberle and you gotta deal buddy!!!
Happy hour started a little earlier today Wonger?
Go ESKS!
House Plants Wonger – Remember ?
Draisitil is just another brick in the wall…
Bennett so far looks better than Draisaitl in being a complete player . As an Oiler fan I think we may regret not taking Bennett . Well at least we get to see plenty of both as they develop .
The above draft photos are priceless.
Bennett: “F*** yeah! Flames!”
Draisaitl: “The Oilers, huh? No, no, that’s fine, I guess.”
That’s actually German for “F*** yeah! Oilers!”
Really?? Not sure which game the flame idiots were watching, all I noticed was the Canucks D putting Bennett on his ass all game.
The Great Gustaf (Draisaitl) will prevail… Maybe not this year but he will.

Yikes!! I watched the flames canucks game and bennett was RAD!!
I’m sure our German Destroyer will win the race but Bennett is for real! This is getting interesting…
Hey Flamers – Oilers are going to tank one more year just to steal Connor from you. Won’t that just tick you off ? It would pain me big time to watch another year of this , but i would laugh my arse off at all the Flames fans whom think he is in the bag. Bennett ? Good but we drafted for need. I would love to see him Chase Vladdy Hockey all over the place.
PS – Greg Chase is coming – be afraid. He will hunt Bennett like a wild animal. Greg Chase – remember it. I am sure you see enough of him now and it just pains you to know he is ours. lol enjoy.
I see your Chase and raise you a Ferland. Have fun with that guy.
LOL- Good one Bro – Dont you just love it ?
Bennett = 0 pull-ups @ combine and 1 pulled groin first week of training camp
Didn’t draislow miss a preseason game, because of menstrual cramps?
