Projected Oilers lines, probably different at game time

Just F'ing win boys
There was a great story about Sutter when he was in CGY. He purposely kept talking about Owen Nolan 24/7 in front of his players. How Owen Nolan is the best and how he plays the game right. Yada yada yada. All day.Sutter calling McDavid 'head and shoulders' the best player. Tricky move to activate Connor's humbleness there. He shies away from praise so hard he'll end up giving every puck away just to prove him wrong.
I know it's not related to the game, but I think people would want to know.
Oilers prospects Denezkhin, Beryozkin and Konovalov are on the team that Timur Faizutdinov was playing against when he was hit by the puck and hospitalized in critical condition.
In fact in this clip (WARNING: DISTURBING VIDEO), you can see Denezkhin come onto the ice to check on Timur:
Thoughts and prayers to everyone involved.
Yes he is reportedly fighting for his life and his condition worsened over the past few hours (posted a link in the Oil Kings / JR Hockey thread). Hope he is going to pull through. Nothing you ever want to see happen.
Kassian?Mcdrai will eat them alive. Put kassian with nuge and pulju for some extra zip or have kassian join the top line. Pulju and yams on the 2nd.
Yeah lolKassian?
Be prepared for a good old fashioned ass kicking from team Darryl Sutter. Maybe that will wake up some of the noodle brains that think the Oilers are a soundly built hockey club headed in the right direction. Probably not, someone will pull out the advanced stats to show Darryl Sutter can't coach hockey in the "new NHL" while our "weak ineffective supporting cast players" have us headed in the right direction because... some geeky fanboy's calculations said so.
4-2 Darryl Sutter, Milan Lucic with a pp goal and Sam Bennett with the empty netter

Hate to say this but a Sutter lead Flames team scares me. They’ve been playing a tight responsible defensive game. If Sutter game plan works there won’t be much room out there. I don’t doubt McDrai will be able to break through and ge their chances, but our other lines I could see being stifled.
Hugely important series coming up. We could either stomp out the Sutter effect or let the Flames right back in it.
Hey everyone, Todd from Leduc is back!
