Pre-Game Talk: @ Cats

[backhandsauce]

IMO this is a must win game to keep up with the rest of the Pacific division. Our games in hand are now gone.

A win puts us in a tie for top spot.

Will Lucic be suspended? I doubt it, most likely a fine.

This is what I WOULD like to see.

Nuge-McDavid-Rattie
Rieder-Drai-Chiasson
Cagguila-Strome-JP
Lucic-Brodziak-Kass

Klef-Larss
Nurse-Russell
Garrison-Benning

Talbot

Lets go Oil.

Not again....

If they're not going to put JP with skilled players on the 1st or 2nd, send him down.

Must win game.

I don't really care who plays, just beat them.

Meh, Strome has been playing well. He's been snake bitten. Hopefully scoring last night helped his get going here...

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Did Chiasson play last night? He's a bit banged up is he not? I suspect we won't see him until the team returns to Edmonton.

Need to find a way to get this win, make this roadtrip reasonable, imo

 

[djdub]

Florida will probably be playing Lou in this game, which gives us a chance to win.

This team just can't beat backup goaltenders.

I'm setting the over/under line for Trochek slashes on Oilers players at 11

Oh, I forget about Trochek. Can't stand him. I'd like to see Koskinen back in. I have more confidence in him that Talbot.. Sit for a while Talbot.

Caggiula at least this year has been a skill player.

 

[GodPucker]

Just 2 hand Trosh** as hard as you can when the refs aren't looking. Bruise the crap our of his wrist. he will re-think if he wants to keep playing that way

That's a vast improvement.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

LeBrun thinks Lucic might get a one or two game suspension. If he is out of the lineup and the third line produces for a couple games is there any chance Looch moves down to the 4th line afterwards?....Sorry, stupid question.

 

[frag2]

So if we drop down to Buttman 500, do we fire TMac?

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

Nah if this org has taught me anything, it won't be until after playoffs are way out of reach, and all viable candidates are employed elsewhere, at which point we will hire someone unqualified, but with an oiler history.

The rest of this month has a lot of winnable games.

 

[soothsayer]

No suspension for Lucic. 10,000 dollar fine.

 

[Little Fury]

Oilers can't catch a break with the league.

Yeah I'm scared too.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

It would be a nice gesture if some of the players that benefit from Lucic's policing chipped in for a $10,000 Christmas present for Lucic.

 

[Senor Catface]

Oilers can't catch a break with the league.

I don’t get why they couldn’t send him a light message with a short 40 game ban.

 

[Soundwave]

LOL.

 

[Little Fury]

I don’t get why they couldn’t send him a light message with a short 40 game ban.

Suspend him for the next, uh, 313 regular season games so the message really sinks in.

Meh....a 10K fine for Milan is like a $100 fine for a guy making 60K a year.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

They better come out and punish the Panthers early unlike the tentative crap we've seen the past couple games.
