How does David Staples introduce the Oilers’ preseason lineup and key players?
Our top story for legacy heating and cooling, home and no payments and no interest for Year. That's how you build a legacy, legacy, heating and cooling. It was day two of Euler's training camp, the second session on the ice today. They had a scrimmage. Uh it was interesting that uh neither Jason Dickinson nor Matias Eckholm participated in the scrimmage today, both older veteran players. Um It was clear to me that Dickinson was a little bit uh laboring uh in the early practice over at the downtown community arena and then they went over and scribbled in Roger's place. Let's go to the orders now audio vault for direct work wear.

All right. One of the things that we're seeing here, we talked a bit about Devin Levi yesterday in goal, uh, off to a good start in terms of uh impressing uh as a as a newbie in a mix. Another guy that's caught everybody's eye is Isaac Howard. Here is Edmonton Letters head coach, Mike Babcock.
Howie went away and he got to work. He can flat out skate. He's being way more competitive. He's still got to learn to play without the puck way more. In the National Hockey League. You never get the puck. You're a skilled guy.
