Pre-Game Talk: Blues @ Oilers

[LTIR]

Ducks fan here. I don't know how you guys can stomach McDavid setting Maroon (and others) up with grade A chances over and over and nobody cashes in.

We are used to it now. We are just waiting for McPasser to start shooting himself

 

[McOilers97]

Was that our worst 40min of the season?

 

[GodPucker]

Jujar was probably injured. Can't see any other reason.

 

[Del Preston]

Why wasn't Jujar playing? Two game point streak and looking good but gets sat? Makes no sense.

Injured

had a knock, ...could be back Saturday.

 

[King1s]

Who though? If they're not better than Todd, what's the point? If this team isn't listening to a proven NHL coach, are they going to listen to a newbie? Is McDavid going to pull a Lebron and coach himself?

We need to cut the head of the snake. Fire chiaturd and let the new guy pick his guy.

This trial is over.

I've played hockey at a fairly high level, It wasnt a demotion.

I play in a beer league and that was a demotion. If McLellan really want to get the 3rd line going. He'd move Drai off the top line and let Drai run his own line and move Pulju to McDavid line

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

the blues look like the best team in the league....sort of

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Dunno how Jesse is to become an NHL player if he is not allowed to make one mistake

 

[booyakasha]

next game,

Draisiatl centtres his own line for once, ...let's see if he can do it, and earn his money.
MAroon - McDavid - Strome
Lucic - Nuge - Pulju
Kassian - Draisaitl - Caggiula
Khaira - Letestu - Pakarinin

Todd's trying really hard to Yakupov him.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

oh and lungchunks needs to get his shit together and start centering his own line.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I've played hockey at a fairly high level, It wasnt a demotion.

Puljujarvi played 13:04 at evens and no powerplay time. Strome and Cammalleri played 15+ minutes at evens with two full minutes of PP time.

EVTOI among forwards in order:

McDavid
Drai
Maroon
RNH
Cammalleri
Strome
Lucic (kicked out halfway through 3rd)
Mark f***ing Letestu
Puljujarvi
Caggiula
Pakarinen
Kassian

It was a demotion.

No Pakarinen for the love of god. Wheres #13

 

[booyakasha]

No Pakarinen for the love of god. Wheres #13

oh yeah, still new to the team I forgot about him....

he'd be in, and probably sit Caggiula, as Pak can kill penalties?
not sure how to work him in yet.

Cammalleri will be in there somewhere as well.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

id like to see full blender

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

 

[booyakasha]

Cammalleri will be in there somewhere as well.

not sure if better, but,

Maroon - McDavid - Strome
Lucic - Nuge - Pulju
Cammalleri - Draisaitl - Caggiula
Khaira - Letestu - Kassian

 

[nexttothemoon]

Cammalleri-McDavid-Puljujarvi
Lucic-RNH-Strome
Maroon-Drai-Caggiula
Khaira-Malone-Kassian

I'd try that set of lines to shake things up.

 

[KarmaPolice]

next game,

Draisiatl centtres his own line for once, ...let's see if he can do it, and earn his money.
MAroon - McDavid - Strome
Lucic - Nuge - Pulju
Kassian - Draisaitl - Caggiula
Khaira - Letestu - Pakarinin

That'd be the smart thing to do: load the up down the middle. All 3 of McDavid, Drai and Nuge can drive a line. Should be able to create more chances this way. I'd put Pulju with McDavid though, so they can complement each other's speed. Eh, whatever. I said I wouldn't complain about the lines before, and Todd is going to be stubborn with the McDavid-Drai combo on the first line. Just how it is.

Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was...
