[Roof Daddy]

Hate to say it, but we're gonna get crushed in this one.

 

[McGoMcD]

I think we will bounce back big time. Nurse and Klef will go from duds to studs in one game.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

I like a lot of players in the Jets lineup at every position.

Another big defensive test for the Oilers to keep the skilled players under control.

Hope Comrie starts for the Jets.... he's a good one.

 

[McspOiler]

Wish we could see Klefa on his true side. I think playing the right was one of the big problems for him. Like jeez he had to get used to ice size and playing on the opposite side all in one game.

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

i think we're going to win this one

 

[Soli]

They played yesterday, so perhaps we can catch a tired squad. They are a loaded squad right through their lineup though. Lets just go out there and be able to hang our heads high when its over.

I imagine Petryk. Platzer, Davidson, and Leach draw in. If we're looking at a goalie other then Bunz, throw Rimmer to the wolves and see if he floats. I don't know enough about the other two.

Things I'll be watching for...
- Klefbom and Nurse (especially) to show better
- MOAR GREG CHASE!
- For the heavy bodies to throw their weight around

 

[Crobby]

Jets have a lot of solid prospects. I think we're outmatched, but hopefully we see some of our guys rebound after last game

Comrie has been confirmed as the Jets starter I believe.

 

[tbcwpg]

Comrie will start in goal for us, as Olkinoura went yesterday against the Sharks. Line combos will probably change a bit from last night so no projections on the Jets side yet.

 

[frag2]

Maybe we should play the trap!!!!

 

[Soli]

Lineup tonight...

Platzer - Khaira - Miller

I really thought they would have Nurse in there so he could get some confidence back..

oh well, really looking forward to seeing Klef and Marincin together.

[Bryanbryoil]

No Nurse? WTF? I missed the last game so I was hoping to get my first look at him today

 

[Moonlapse Vertigo]

Nurse's body language was not good as he left the ice on Thursday. He was (somehow) overwhelmed in the first game and needs to take a look at the action from the pressbox.

He's had a day to digest it, guys like Marincin and Gernat had good first rookie camps albeit maybe Calgary's squad was better than anything that they faced then. I'm not liking the looks of this at all. IMO you have to show confidence in him and throw him right back out there.

 

[Valic]

He's probably injured.


That being said, my god our forwards are terrible. I know, I know, all our fist round picks are in the NHL.

Sure miss Reider that's for sure. Great parting Gift Tambo.

Yay!

We'd be in much better shape from an offensive perspective if the Russian kids were there. It is what it is.

Yeah, I hope Kessy shows something this game, like a pulse. I hope Rieder tears it up at Phoenix dev. camp.

 

[MetaOil1993]

Hoping for a bounce back game for Klefa and Nurse.

EDIT: Nvm guess Nurse isn't playing. Go Klefbom!

 

[Soli]

@dantencer
Todd Nelson says all the defensemen will get 3/4 rookie games (vs. UofA included) so it's just Nurse's turn to sit

Also, Chase had this to say...

"We got the jitters out last game. Tonight I'll look to be more physical and mix it up more."

I love this dude. Total gem of a 7th rounder. What a beaut.
