[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

If Gene ever came across this thread.. he might have to change his underwear.

Someone should tweet him. He's Gostisbehere.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Using the nonoiler puns Is making me Fuhrious. Granted, we're probably running out.

Stauffer saying McDavid hasn't been activated yet.

With Kassian and Reinhart re-called and Clendening's addition Edmonton now at 23 players. Another move coming when McDavid gets activated

waive Gazdic I wonder?

 

[oXo Cube]

We can still assign Klinkhammer without waiving him again right?

I've come to accept that for some reason Gazdic just isn't getting the axe.

 

[Mowzie]

It should be, he's really Falloon down the depth chart. It's time to Kassian on the investment we made in Zack.

I'm pretty sure, but someone else can probably Hunt down the right answer. I'd Christoffer to help, but I'm on my phone

Can confirm McDavid will play Tuesday night.

HERE WE GO!

 

[McAsuno]

The savior returns!

 

[The Nuge]

 

[pox]

He has risen

 

[Del Preston]

 

[The Nuge]

I was hoping McDavid's head was going to pop out

 

[McAsuno]

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Who are his line mates

 

[oStealthKiller*]

I was hoping McDavid's head was going to pop out

Would have been perfect with the tombstone date changed to his injury date

 

[McAsuno]

Who are his line mates

No line rushes yet according to Wilkins. Yak's wearing a white jersey though while Connor's blue.

Edit: McDavid centering Pouliot and Eberle.

 

[McAsuno]

Lander fills in for Hall with Draisaitl and Purcell.
Letestu with Kassian and Yakupov.

So i am guessing a lineup of...

Hall - Drai - Purcell
Pouliot - McDavid - Eberle
Kassian - Letetsu - Yak
Lander - Hendricks - Pakarainen

Sekera - Fayne
Nurse - Davidson/Schultz
Reinhart - Gryba/Clendenning

 

[McTrashBoat]

So i am guessing a lineup of...

Hall - Drai - Purcell
Pouliot - McDavid - Eberle
Kassian - Letetsu - Yak
Lander - Hendricks - Pakarainen

That's starting to look pretty damn good.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

That's starting to look pretty damn good.

now....
the defense

 

[Draiskull]

That's starting to look pretty damn good.

Only really missing Nuge up front .. writing is up on the wall for Lander and Korpi unless we do the forward for defense move.

 

[McOvechking]

Man, McDavid/Drai reaaallllyyyyy starts to make RNH feel expendable. Damn, he could get us some real considerable help on defense.

If anything, the injuries to McDavid and Nugent-Hopkins should make you feel less comfortable losing one of them.

If they do trade Nuge, it would have to be post-season and with another centre on the way.
