[ManSocks1]

leeeenus omark. lol

[xXitalian15]

edmonton is gonna have the most amazing offense in roughly 3 years...

[Buckeyes8790tj]

Is it "Lee-nus" or "Ly-nus"?

[jeggoo]

@Buckeyes8790tj If you want the most swedish correct pronunciation of his name it's Lee-nus.

[killxXstevensxX]

@Buckeyes8790tj  leenus

[Grommitchi]

@Buckeyes8790tj Lee-nus in swedish

[troy324]

Anybody else wonder why all the young guns played in pre-season and the oilers did fine, they for some reason didnt play nearly as much in the regular season and the oilers were the worst team in the league?!?!?! just let the young guns play, Fuck the AHL you cant do worse than last place! Put them on the ice!

[daveathor]

@troy324in the preseason, every team lets their best prospects together with some of the experienced guys from the standard NHl/AHL lineup (stars usually dont appear here) battle it out in order to prove who should play in the NHL the upcomming season, the edmonton oilers just happens to have one of the best (maybe the best) rookie lineup in the league and a rather thin core of experienced guys;)

this means that the edmonton oilers perform way better in the preseason than in the actual season

[troy324]

@daveathor no i know that but i mean, why didnt they let them all play more games and have more ice time in the regular season? i mean you cat do much worse than last place right?

[malcom425]

Why the hell is the commentator saying leenus

[professorchaosX94]

we can get rid of hemsky now. we got a new one that doesnt get hurt every couple games. omark has better hands too. hemsky better step it up if he wants to keep his job. hemsky and omark on a line would be pretty cool tho.

[MrCanuck55]

his name is not leenus

[Chargersman77]

anyone else notice how the commentator calls him "Leenus" in the beginning ( how it's supposed to be pronounced) , then at :30 calls him "Linus"

[mackedacke]

@semtexcam33 As CrystalDay said, it's pronounced like that.. The commentator did his homework

[fireblade185]

oilers draft too many hemsky type players. we only need one and thats the one ales hemsky

[Wi3dMaN]

@fireblade185 you are unbelievably stupid

[CaKe4L1fe]

@semtexcam33 its cuz the commentator sucks alot of dick and deep thoats in which u can call him a cum dumpster

[rohin02]

makes me laugh as a canuck fan to listen to the homer announcer...

[CrystalDay]

@semtexcam33 : In sweden it's pronounced that way actually.

[xMaxGiikx]

Omark's back yeess :)

[Skillimidtchiev13]

yes, fuck i wish the habs had him + subban on the same team .. would be sick

[UffeOst]

@fiset35 Look what he did last night :)

[CrazyDoeboy666]

Little Sweden makes good icehockey players! thats wazupp!

[Qwertey16]

asshole coach that puts him in the ahl.

[WADENABOYZ]

@Qwertey16 buddy learn hockey the coach dosent put him in the ahl its the general manager and btw they probably are doing that just so he can improve defensivley

[claes87]

@WADENABOYZ Haha what? Learn hockey? Maybe if he wanted to learn how to be a manager. To learn hockey you accually have to play hockey. And for the record I seriously doubt the GM would put him in the ahl if the coach said he should play in the big league.

[iscaryou]

@Qwertey16 lol its called developing your player not to mention they already have hall eberle and paajarvi you can only have so many rookies in your line up

[99oildrops]

@Qwertey16 Personally I thought it was a good choice to send him to the OC Barons because he needed a little time to adjust to the North American game. Besides now theres no doubt that he'll be an NHL regular in the coming season.

[kcanderse]

@Qwertey16 And who were you going to kick out of the lineup at the beginning to accommodate him? Hemsky? Eberle? Hall? Penner? Paajarvi? Coach made the right decision. Omark was the odd man out. You don't want to throw a developing player 4th line minutes.

[NOOBTOWNtererests]

@kcanderse now they have neugent-hopkins too

[brapclap]

@Qwertey16 what a fucking tool

[Hrafn89]

Oilers might not want to change a winning team, at least they won the last game.... Of course he should be starter in NHL and not to be killed in AHL.....

[pizzaboy20]

He should have made the team in my opinion.

[AndeSii]

great effert by omark

[1988BigPig]

good call on paajarvi, hall and omark. how do you forget jordan eberle tho ><. better than the rest put together

[MOMOarabe]

linus omark, magnus paajavi, taylor hall, gilbert brule, cogliano, and yound veteran horchoff and hemsky, damn oilers are going to be good in the future

[seguin1st]

Omark wicked sick stickhandling.

[CanadaMMA]

Edmonton if Edmonton can get a decent defense built up, they are going to be scary in a few years.

[hawleydog]

what was the nucks d even doing?

[GoalieTributesHD]

sam gagner, taylor hall, linus omark, jordan eberle, magnus paajarvi, who else do they got for prospects?

[MrNumberNine9]

@GoalieTributesHD Theo Peckham, Taylor Chorney, Toni Rajala, Teemu Hartikainen and Andrew Cogliano.

[TwinsSucks2000]

Oilers fucking own! In preaseason...

[FTJFuelTheJet]

Anyone else get the feelings were going to see alot more of this from Omark this year

[NHLfreak87]

@FTJFuelTheJet I've been seeing it in Sweden. He's unbelievable. Always comes up with something new. Like no one I've ever seen before.

[GuruEddyD]

@NHLfreak87 I agree except that he reminds me of a young Pavel Bure, he just feels the flow and invents shit on the go.

[dzaijn]

@GuruEddyD I haven't payed attention to this sport for what 6 years, and I was thinking the exact thing as you. The Bure force is strong with this one.

[GuruEddyD]

@dzaijn haha the Bure Force. 

[prorobo]

I want to see him in some more shootouts!

[beatle11]

Omark has mad skill, but his play without the puck and in his own end could definitely improve.

[Fifa09Wii]

*meant to say tougher not better

[91splash]

Edmonton gets all the 1st rounders and always sucks!

Hopefully that'll change this season because of Taylor Hall!

[Fifa09Wii]

"nifty" lol nice goal

edmonton is one of the few canadian teams i dont hate and i like to see them do well but i dont think they're going to have an easy season considering they have so many rookies... they're clearly skilled but i can just picture a team like toronto or boston just beating up on all the young guys

[frasermack18]

Boston yes....Toronto, not so much!

[Fifa09Wii]

pretty sure Toronto is better than Boston... Lucic, Thornton, Chara, Boychuk (cant think of anyone else off the top of my head) as opposed to Phaneuf, Komisarek, Schenn, Rosehill, Beauchemin, Brown and Orr.

[frasermack18]

Phaneuf and Kessel are the best 2 guys....Komisarek, Schenn, Rosehill, Beauchemin, Brown and Orr are all pylons.

Boston has Chara, Savard, Bergeron, Lucic, Wheeler, Sturm, Horton and Seguin. And all of the Leafs you named, except for Phaneuf, not not elite NHLers, proving their 29th place finish last season

[sebbeks]

@Fifa09Wii I think that this season will not be as good as they are expected to be, however I believe that the 2 seasons after will Edmonton be the nightmare for any other NHL team.

[Fifa09Wii]

i'd say 3 or 4 years at least until they're actually a contender, 2 years is barely enough to become a playoff team.... they should just tank this year and grab that swedish defenseman and then they'll be set

[sebbeks]

@Fifa09Wii what swedish defenceman? adam larsson? edmonton is not going to be last again..

[Fifa09Wii]

they're definitely going to be down there... i'd say florida is last but clearly a lottery pick.

[sebbeks]

@Fifa09Wii vokoun will be the reason they will not get a first overall pick

[Fifa09Wii]

Then who will get 1st overall? Florida just traded their best forward away for a 1st round pick - they're in a full on rebuild... I guess NYI and Columbus are also possibilities but I doubt they're worse than Florida.

[sebbeks]

@Fifa09Wii i don't know, because Florida has Vokoun so i don't think they will be last, of course it's a possibility, but i think florida will be on the bottom 5, hurricanes just lost 5-3 to a RUSSIAN team

[Fifa09Wii]

its the preseason, the russian team was probably taking the game so seriously to make their team look good

[sebbeks]

@Fifa09Wii I saw the game, Carolina looked really frustrated

[Fifa09Wii]

lol didnt carolina win their first 2 games already??

[sebbeks]

@Fifa09Wii i posted that before any of the games, but it's only two games and i didn't think they played well, especially against the Wild.

[tyronexxxxx]

kid is going to be amazing.....so many rookies with bright futures in Edmonton

[SteveO1887]
