The toughest part of this trend, is so many of these goals against happen right after the team was busting it to tie the game. They tie it then boom, a stinker against that kills your new found momentum

I wonder on how many of these first goals, Tippett put's out the 3rd or 4th line?

Looks like Bear might be ready to go and be chucked into the deep fryer.
Looks like Bouchard practicing on the left side of the deep fryer will be a left fry.
Looks like Ennis has bubbled up in the deep fryer to fry with Draisaitl and Honey Badger.
Looks like Kahun has dropped into the muck of the deep fryer to fry with Turris and Chaisson fries.
Looks like Shore is being taken out of the deep fryer to cool off with the taxi squad.
Looks like Smith had the excess grease wiped off as he left the deep fryer early yesterday, will hopefully finish frying tomorrow.
My guess is Neal will be plopped back in the deep fryer to sizzle with Khaira and Archi who have fried well lately.
Not sure if Lagesson can fry tomorrow or if Jones might be tossed back into the deep fryer.

My projected fries:

RNH - McDavid - PJ
Ennis - Draisaitl - Honey Badger
Neal - Khaira - Archi
Kahun - Turris - Chaisson

Nurse - Barrie
Bouchard - Bear
Jones - Larsson (assuming Lagesson can’t go)

Smith
Koskinen has the frying pan.

Prediction:
Oilers will pull a greasy win out of the deep fryer against the Jets.

Thank god I was already eating dinner before I read this. 100% would’ve wanted fries.

Dave don't do momentum!

 

[Paralyzer008]

Tippett says Bear had a setback

 

[Snipes45]

What a fluke injury. I guess that is why you should always be paying attention on bench. Imagine he had no helmet on

 

[Sanchez]

 

[Snipes45]

Legesson was fairly steady, what a travesty it would be if we had Rusell, Jones, and KK in at the same time.

 

[McGreat One]

Tippett says Bear had a setback

So with Lagesson out and Bear out I think it's time to get Jones back in. Time to shit or get off the pot with the kid. I'm not a big supporter of Jones but they gotta see what they got with him and now's the time to do it.

 

[LTIR]

Tippett says Bear had a setback

Not good considering the injury.
Shot to the helmet and having setbacks is the unknown internal brain damage territory that is a lot scarier than a broken bone.

 

[Snipes45]

So Kris R is in. That glass is going to get banged with pucks tonight! I hope we can get Legesson and Bear/Jones back for the Calgary games

 

[Sanchez]

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Looks like it’ll be

RNH - McDavid - Puljujarvi
Kahun - Draisaitl - Yamamoto
Ennis - Khaira - Archibald
Haas - Turris - Chiasson

Nurse - Barrie
Russell - Larsson
Koekkoek - Bouchard

Smith

Throw him on you so there is no temptation to push it for the next few weeks.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Absolute must win game.

 

[Paralyzer008]

So all three of Russell, Larsson, Koekkoek in at once?

With Smith starting?

McDavid needs a 3 point night or I'll see you in the post game for the complaints.

 

[Weitz]

Absolute must win game.

Agreed. Gotta win this game because I think the best you can hope for is a split vs CGY this weekend.

 

[Snipes45]

Agreed. Gotta win this game because I think the best you can hope for is a split vs CGY this weekend.

And then Vancouver a few times right after.

Once again, DP can't be bothered to swap 2 players in the top 6. This is probably the worst low production streak they have had in a while.

 

[MuzzaFuzza]

Jeez Jones will never get in at this point

 

[barry halls]

Biggest game of the season so far tonight

 

[Paralyzer008]

"Do you guys have to monitor Neal Pionk on McDavid? If he goes too far, what's the next step for your team?" - Spector

Nurse goes absolutely silent.

"Like do you take care of him or go after their best players?" - Spector

"That's not a question I will answer" - Nurse

Lolololol Spec buddy

LOL if Nurse says anything then it's premediated, if anything happens in the game. Try again Spec!

 

[Gordy Elbows]

Its hard to believe how much Turris has regressed from his days in Ottawa

So true....he looks absolutely lost out there....every game. There must be something going on with him because nobody expected his game to drop this much even from last season.

No one else really PK's. Nurse does, but Barrie and Bouchard don't. Tippett has brought up Jones issues on the PK as well.

With that being said I would've tried Jones

 

[Snipes45]

LOL if Nurse says anything then it's premediated, if anything happens in the game. Try again Spec!

Oh I hope Nurse goes with him. Please please. Or the guys make sure to finish every check on that guy hard
