You do know defense is the act of playing without the puck, correct?Pakarinen is an instant turnover every time the puck comes near him. A defensive specialist wouldn't throw the puck away every time he faces a little bit of pressure.
Does that include giving the opposition a free out and not having to defend any sort of attack when he is on the ice?You do know defense is the act of playing without the puck, correct?
I could be wrong but I think that Desharnais didn't want to return. IIRC in the playoffs he said something about how after the OT goal he started to feel like he was part of the team. I found that to be an odd remark at the time.

Looks like it.Is Cammalleri playing tonight?
Cammalleri will wear #13 for the Oilers.
Looks like it.
Khaira shouldn't be sitting unless he's hurt.
Probably that and the like Pak's shot and size on the Strome line.I would love if we switched Pakman and Cagguila but I am guessing they don't want 3 right shots on the same line
I rather have Kassian on that line. Cammy is suppose to be the shooter anyway.Probably that and the like Pak's shot and size on the Strome line.

I'd really like to have a third line that can play 12 or more minutes a night, don't think Pak should be playing that kind of minutes
I agree, but Kassian is REALLY fighting it offensively, plus it's nothing to switch them in game.I rather have Kassian on that line. Cammy is suppose to be the shooter anyway.

He's fighting it, but his speed seems to be getting him into areas that are close to chances. Pak I never really see take the puck anywhere.I agree, but Kassian is REALLY fighting it offensively, plus it's nothing to switch them in game.
Again, they probably want the size on the line. I Pakarinen isn't a top-9 forward, but he's hardly terrible and can easily be replaced in that spot through out the game. Best case is Slepyshev there.I'm less about wanting Kassian in that spot as I am NOT wanting Pakarainen in that spot.
I think I'd rather even play Drake on his off-wing.
Why doesn't Lucic ever get sat out? Cause' he makes to much, so to save face they have to play him.
Good point? You answer your own question with your own assumptions, good for you.Why doesn't Lucic ever get sat out? Cause' he makes to much, so to save face they have to play him.
Lucic gets so much hate for no valid reason. People on HF literally hate every player who isn't a fast skaterWhy doesn't Lucic ever get sat out? Cause' he makes to much, so to save face they have to play him.
True, he's been good and should get minutes so he can developKhaira shouldn't be sitting unless he's hurt.
