GDT: | The Saddest Bunch I Ever Met | Oilers @ Stars | 11/18/17| 12:00PM | SNW

all we have so far

That's from yesterday.

The lines at practice were the same except Pakarinen was filling in for McDavid on #1 and Khaira took Pak's spot on line four.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Maroon-McDavid-Caggiula
Lucic-Nuge-Drai
Squid-Strome-Pizzaboy
Khaira-Testube-Kassian

Lines According to Stauffer.

A Looch-Nuge-Drai line could be damn near unstoppable. Too bad Connor has to play with third liners...

Afternoon game? Guaranteed loss?

Swap the wingers on lines 1 and 3 and I think we’re in business

That's better. I'd still like to see McDavid, Draisaitl, and RNH centring their own lines at some point.

Lineups updated.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Serious question, what has Caggiula done to earn a promotion to the top line?

Serious question, what has Caggiula done to earn a promotion to the top line?

I'm not sure. To my eye Jesse has had more and better quality chances in three games than Caggiula has all season.

20 points in 71 games playing almost strictly top 9 minutes doesn't inspire confidence?

*all career.

 

[GameChanger]

Serious question, what has Caggiula done to earn a promotion to the top line?

And what has Jesse done to earn a demotion. Oh yes, I forgot he lost the puck once and got dropped immedately as you guys guessed would happen.

 

[McDrai]

Maroon-McDavid-Caggiula
Lucic-Nuge-Drai
Squid-Strome-Pizzaboy
Khaira-Testube-Kassian

It's better...but I dont know why they keep wasting Drai on the right wing.
Would rather have:

Maroon-McDavid-Strome
Lucic-Draisaitl-Caggiula
Cammalleri-RNH-Puljujarvi
Khaira-Letestu-Kassian

3 solid lines. Strome does have the skill to play with McDavid, he just hasnt been used there much at all. Lucic and Drai have shown to be a lethal combo before. The 3rd line is mighty dangerous as well

 

[ZJuice]

Drake has been playing like 10% of the player he was last year. Doesn’t seem to have a lot of energy and barely hits anymore

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Serious question, what has Caggiula done to earn a promotion to the top line?

Nothing this year but he looked good there in the Ducks series so it’s a shot in the dark. I like the 3rd and 2nd lines.

 

[McFlyingV]

Thank god they're trying Drai with Nuge and Lucic, but why Caggiula on the top line. Todd really just sucks at utilizing Jesse. He's been our best winger overall since his call up. He's just far too logical to put our 2 fastest skaters together isn't it.

You have that confused, because the RNH line would be the 2nd line...more of an offesive threat IMO.

 

[McTedi]

Shake up looking for offence?? I'm surprised this season has played out like this. Such a big regression after the playoffs...desperate team, no answers sigh

 

[McFlyingV]

I mean Caggiula deserves a ton of criticism, but you pick hitting as the thing to criticize, really? The guy's been throwing a ton of hits and its why he's been injured twice this year. He needs to start putting the puck in the net, thats what he should be criticized for.

[SomeDudeOTI]

Alright.. come out with jump, hit some bodies and forecheck hard, play 60.

Or sleep through half the game... Let's see which team shows up.

Let's go Oilers, Let's Go! ! !

[MaxR11]

woah, Connor looked really dejected in that sportsnet intro. hope he's not "finding it hard to see the light at the end of this loooong tunnel"...

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Chris Lee reffing ....expect at least 6 power plays for Dallas.

 

[SpoolCat]

Is Pulju playing?

Nevermind just saw him.

 

[Joey Moss]

About time they try RNH and Draisaitl togther
