- Guessing that they'll start LB. Talbot's got good numbers in back-to-backs and McLellan's shown he's not adverse to throw Talbot back out there, but feels like an LB game.

- Hey Blue Jackets! It's McDavid again!

that clip will never get old

never.

MCDAVID!

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

I wouldn't mind if every game was just like that philly one, win or lose from here on out this year.

Send a message to the league that we're not gonna take **** anymore.

 

[voxel]

Oh, these guys again. I don't think they liked the last ass-whooping so we better not treat them lightly.

 

[Trollmark*]

Realllllllllllllly hoping for a win.
I'm so used to a ****** effort by this team after a wonderful win, especially against a weak team.

Hope we can stop the wrath of Broom Janitor aka young Strudwick.

 

[McPuritania]

Hope we impose our will physically against these guys.

We will unfairly McDavid them!

It's difficult for me to fathom how the Jackets got off to as poor a start as they did because I like what their roster has got going on quite a lot.

Anyway, McDavid.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Going with the theme of this road trip, who's the next rookie that another team wants to trot out and compare with McDavid?

 

[Zaddy]

Hoping Brossoit gets the start. Should be a good one.

 

[oXo Cube]

Brossoit starts and apparently "Other lineup changes."

Nikitin?

Nikitin over Nurse/Clendening

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

Being super physical every game will wear down the Oilers as much as it wears down opponents. I hope we are a physical team that gets a reputation for that and can turn it up when needed, but picking battles is what championship calibre teams do. I guess we don't have to worry about a long playoffs, so if we finish the season going all out that's probably fine.

 

[duul]

Send Nurse down. Waive Clendening. Bring up Oesterle and Musil.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

I wouldn't mind that.

I don't see us as a team that will start the super heavy physical stuff most nights. But if even the slightest liberty is taken with anyone on our team. We strike back hard

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

I could see Nicrapin in over nurse/clendenning, and maybe Pak draws in on the third or fourth line.

[Canovin]

Send Nurse down. Waive Clendening. Bring up Oesterle and Musil.

Yes please. Some players play better in the NHL than in the AHL. Klef and Davidson are perfect examples.

I think we're learning that one small winger for McDavid is enough. Can't have both Ebs and Yak out there, its counterproductive because they both try to do the same things. Yak's game has been much better these past few days. I hope they rotate them in and out of Connor's line depending on who's hot, and give the line a bigger net-presence winger (Maroon or Kassian).

Why not try a top-6 where Maroon and Eberle are swapped:

Hall-Draisaitl-Eberle
Maroon-McDavid-Yakupov

That would solve the issue of having two wingers on their off-wing.

Oilers finally starting to play some exciting hockey and I've got to go to my partner's Yoga Teacher Training graduation potluck celebration for dinner....

I think they should stop playing Nurse with whoever the worst D-man on the team is any given day before sending him down.
