Been a little busy lately. Can someone fill me in why Wagner was put on waivers? From what I can tell, no one came back from injury and no one was recalled from San Diego, and thus we are still under the 23 men roster limit?

 

[Elvs]

Oilers lineup in their last game, as per dailyfaceoff.com:

Maroon - McDavid - Eberle
Pouliot - Nugent-Hopkins - Puljujarvi
Lucic - Draisaitl - Pitlick
Lander - Letestu - Kassian

Klefbom - Larsson
Sekera - Benning
Nurse - Gryba

Talbot
Gustavsson

 

[Kalv]

Thanks Elvs, will use this


As for Wagner - I also have been busy lately so I have no idea why and who if any will replace him. They will probably reveal at the last posible time who will be called up but maybe it`s someone other than Sgarbossa. Although not sure if we can afford something like that. Both Wags and Sgarbossa earns 0.6M

Edit: scratch that, Capfriendly.com shows we have called up Sgarbossa.
But yeah their contracts might actually be playing a some role here.

Now that Lindholm has hopefully settled in to the NA time zones a bit better hopefully Carlyle fixes the defense pairings and gets him away from Bieksa (either that or gets Bieksa the hell out of the lineup).

Bieksa was bad in a top 4 role last year, this year he can't even handle third pairing minutes. He's done.

 

[gilfaizon]

Worried about what a speedy team like Edmonton might do to us. Hoping for the best.

 

[Arthuros]

Ah god.

 

[mightyquack]

Well this is going to be an interesting game to watch for one reason or another. Also Boll over Wagner is lame.

 

[kducks]

Rumor on twitter is Wagner cleared waivers, but I don't see anything official yet.

Edit: Eric Stephens confirms he cleared.

 

[Carelton CA]

So Boll dresses tonight. Tries to fight Lucic, who if he is at all reasonably intelligent, laughs at Boll.

Then Boll sits for 57 minutes of the game.

 

[pesko]

Gibson first off the ice.

 

[Laydari]

I really like your gdt's. Maroon will fight

 

[Goose of Reason]

I really like your gdt's. Maroon will fight

Maroon will destroy Boll in a fight to complete the Gordie Howe hatty.

 

[dracom]

Maroon will destroy Boll in a fight to complete the Gordie Howe hatty.

I mean, I wouldn't be that upset if that happened.

 

[wraparound]

Blowout incoming. Oilers win 5-1 with Maroon scoring a hatty.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Can't work up much of an interest in this one.

 

[evomacky]

not sure about this one. after the last game they better step it up.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Preds got lit up by Toronto tonight. This is a weird season.

 

[bumperkisser]

Wish Bernier was in.

 

[Chexxum]

This Bieksa-Stoner pairing is gonna make me nervous all night

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Fowler vatanen
Lindholm Manson

 

[Unholy]

Ritchie what a shot

 

[Teemu Salami]

Wow, that was nasty.

 

[kducks]

That was a beauty!

 

[Magnus the Duck]

Ritchie! Great goal.
