First Week Summary

Okay, it's the first week of the regular season and our boys are doing pretty well! Our season opener was a little disappointing against Calgary. Packed house (16,839) at Rexall Place and we were outscored by the Flames 4-3 in regulation time.

We made it 1 and 1 on Tuesday the 6th, but lost again to Calgary this time in OT, 4-3. Last night against the Habs, we got some redemption with a win, 3-2, in regulation.

Not all teams in the league have Thanksgiving off, but the Oilers do. They resume tomorrow night against the Nashville Predators.

The oilers will be getting a new arena. We just don't know where exactly. Downtown for sure. It will be bigger than Rexall to allow for more seating, and it will be comfortable, will have easy access to amenities, more luxurious suites and more of them. It's looking at costing around $450 million. A new arena cannot be built, however, until an outstanding $30 million loan is paid in full.
