The Edmonton Journal has a really nice article on Gilbert's upcoming sophomore season, and it has some nice quotes from Gilbert and head coach Craig MacTavish.
OilersTV has a video interview with Gilbert from the 1st day of training camp (Sept 19). Gilbert is excited for the upcoming season and feels more confident after playing a full season in the NHL. He says some nice things about Wisconsin and says he sees himself coming back to Madison each summer.
Gilbert didn't play in Monday's pre-season game, but he logged a ton of ice time (26:57) in last night's game. (Unfortunately, it sounds like he had a few pretty rough shifts. But hey, it's the preseason, and I'm sure he'll get the rust worked off before the season starts.)
Lowetide has a nice little write-up of the Joey Moss Game (Blue/White Game) last weekend. Gilbert was on the losing end with team white but apparently played pretty well:
Gilbert: He had a nice game even on the losing side. His D partner sent him a few grenades and he battled to at least a standoff most of the time. I know it might sound empty but Gilbert's efforts (to me) in a losing cause were almost more impressive because he was on the wrong end of a slanted playing field all afternoon. He was Archie Manning in New Orleans today.
