TM keeps takin about accountability. Maybe it’s time to sit Lucic or demote him to the 4th line with no PP time.

 

[MinimaMoralia]

Big test for Kostko. The job is almost there for the taking.
Hope Nurse wakes up, we’ll need him tonight. He was great in the first few games, but has kinda been doing that thing where he tails off. Already.

For the love of flipping flip, it would be nice to see someone in the bottom six score. All due respect to Brodziak, of course.
Almost time to sit Looch and or Khaira.
Let’s try Marody and Malone or something.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Rattie on the 1st line, Yams on the 3rd and Drake taking the 4th LW spot according to dailyfaceoff..

In Koskinen we trust.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

damn, that's alot of hockey

Sincerely, getting a point out of this game would be big, getting 2 would be massive.

 

[McDrai]

I wouldn't mind seeing something like this

RNH-McDavid-Caggiula
Rieder-Draisaitl-Chiasson
Puljujarvi-Strome-Yamamoto
Lucic-Brodziak-Kassian

The top 2 lines have shown good chemistry so I wouldn't play around with them. Lucic and Strome should be on separate lines as they are a black hole when on the same line.

 

[McDrai]

Stauffer setting up a loss lol

Baghdad bob in full force

Maybe if you're lucky, this will be start of more realistic results for the team going forward.

 

[talitintti]

Weh, expecting a bad loss. If it's competitive it's a pleasant surprise.

With Lucic on the PP it's basically even strength, and the other team can ice the puck, whenever they want..

Well he’s tough to play against.... or was that with? I don’t know...

 

[CupofOil]

It's ridiculous that Cagguila gets demoted to the 4th line after consistent stellar play on the 1st line while Strome and Lucic continue to get force-fed 3rd line minutes. Accountability my ass.

I know that Rattie needs to draw in at some point but there's no reason for Cagguila to be the one to lose his spot. He should be eased back in on the 3rd line then work his way back up as he shakes the rust off.

 

[mintmint]

Rattie back with Mcdavid please. My pool needs it.

Yeah I don’t get it either, just McLellan things I guess. Whatever is working isn’t good enough but let’s keep the crappiest line on the team intact.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Any word on who is sitting out?

It has to do more with Rattie kind of suck everywhere else except for McDavid's RW. Strome is a 3C and Lucic should be a 4LW but Mclellan would never disfavor him like that.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I guess with Caggiula it's cause he is one of those Swiss Army knife guys who can look fine on any line.

Not really. Rattie produced on every line in preseason. Just preseason yes but it's the only sample size we have to base on. Where did you get the idea that he kind of sucks on every non-McDavid line?

Last season he was only good on McDavid's RW. I mean he was hopeless until he was moved to 1RW

He's a more confident player than he was last season.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

I have a stomach bug and can't stop pooping. I have a feeling Oilers win this one.

 

[Senor Catface]

Yes, that's exactly what McDrai said. Yeesh.

 

[Oilhawks]

Very strange that the lineup hasn't been released yet. What gives? lol
