I wonder if Knoblauch wanted to switch things up for a while but didn't want to mess with things during the streak
Looks like Knob reads my posts.According to Tony Brar these are the lines at Oilers practice:
RNH - McDavid - Hyman
Kane - Draisaitl - Perry
Holloway - McLeod - Foegele
Janmark - Ryan - Brown
Gagner
Nurse - Deharnais
Ekholm - Ceci
Kulak - Bouchard
Quite the shakeup on d.
Ceci and Ekholm were the 2 worst Dmen. Likely the third pairing if there is oneDang Bouch had a rough game but 3rd pairing? Oof
I almost got fooled too. Just ridiculous how many games we still have left down the stretch. as per tomorrow the Oilers having to play 36 more games in 69 days.Thought the game was tonight. They must only play 72 games this year.

Jesus those are worse not better. Desharnais on the first pairing is a recipe for disaster. What did Bouchard do to be on the bottom pairing?
There are so many double negatives flying around here I do not know no neau what is being said, you know?Clever phrasing. heh
I'll change it up a bit.
And yes, Brown won't never not score in this game.
I think VD played very well the past 6 games or so. Ducks are a place to push him by giving him heavy minutes just to see how he copes if he has to push up from a 3rd pairing due to an injury.Jesus those are worse not better. Desharnais on the first pairing is a recipe for disaster. What did Bouchard do to be on the bottom pairing? Still stacking the first line, which has struggled 5x5 for the past several games, while leaving Draisaitl with a rotating cast of leftovers. Line 2 will slow the game down to the pace of a melting glacier. One loss shouldn't merit that much blendering, IMO.
Just a heads up:
I’m not allowed to post a GDT after a loss and @5 Mins 4 Ftg is in Antarctica and the wifi sucks there so someone will need to step up and make a GDT for tomorrows game.
(It’s not that difficult lol)
I agree and it’s smart. Use these games against poor teams to try different lines and pairings, try some things out, see what kind of chemistry you can find and who can handle more minutes.I think VD played very well the past 6 games or so.

I see this game as a bit of a test kitchen. 2nd line grouping is no different…HEAVY…can they keep up?
Yeah I just assumed it was a Thursday and Saturday gig but it's a back to back.I just posted this in the PGT from last game.
Why on Earth is there not a game tonight. We're 5 behind most of the NHL and are going to have to make it back all at once.
I mean, man, he hasn’t looked very good a lot of this season. Slow, indecisive, forcing passes etc. it’s like the game is moving too fast for him. lol. But hey, as long as he’s firing on all cylinders come the post season that’s all that matters. Assuming they get in.I predict 25% less negative comments about Draisaitl occurring during this game in the GDT .
Someone needs to put the chimpanzee that makes these schedules back in the zoo where it belongs. AI could make a better schedule ffs!This schedule is bonkers
Back to back in California then 8 games in 15 days to end February

They are seeing if Desharnais is a better fit than Ceci if so they plan on moving Ceci outAccording to Tony Brar these are the lines at Oilers practice:
RNH - McDavid - Hyman
Kane - Draisaitl - Perry
Holloway - McLeod - Foegele
Janmark - Ryan - Brown
Gagner
Nurse - Deharnais
Ekholm - Ceci

i think we've been spoiled. A 40G 100pt pace would seem pretty OK for a lot of fanbases. There were times with this one where we would thirst for a player like this. After McDrai are gone we won't have this nature of player again for a long while. Enjoy it while we can. I'm happy if theres more, but I don't need more.I mean, man, he hasn’t looked very good a lot of this season. Slow, indecisive, forcing passes etc. it’s like the game is moving too fast for him. lol.

Oh no!!! We are ordering a group order of McRibs into the shop today….hope ours aren't a disappointment.Last night I had ma Mcrib. It was average. Wasn’t worth the hype
It's fine but it didn't change my life or anything.Last night I had ma Mcrib. It was average. Wasn’t worth the hype
