Pre-Game Talk: Edm v Ott 3 Game Series Round 2

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Turris for Crosby

 

[Paralyzer008]

I hope Kassian has found inspiration to try again.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Why is Kahun getting the royal bench treatment? Tippett seriously thinks P Russell is a better option?

Russell is merely a placeholder for Turris.

Does anything go right for us? Always an injury or something when a guy looks to be doing well. Lags is out in the abyss somewhwre after they said he was so close a week ago. Turris has his best game as an oiler and he's on covid protocol

 

[Oilhawks]

Uh oh...

Incoming game postponements for the North?

 

[Sanchez]

Uh oh...

Incoming game postponements for the North?

Practice went ahead today and Turris wasn't on the ice so they caught this early and maybe it's just a false positive?

 

[Oilhawks]

Yeah, hopefully a Pulju situation

 

[MoontoScott]

big game for COCKsinen

At 6'7" he can probably live up to it.

 

[fuswald]

It all just depends on Nuge and the bottom 6. Last year, the bottom 6 would get caved in and bled goals. This year, they are doing much better.

Ottawa is 7-5 since last playing the Oilers.

Last year overall we were as good if not better according to the only stat that matters. Wins.

 

[fuswald]

0

big game for COCKsinen

Now I get why he let's goals on the first few shots. Needs foreplay to get up for it.

 

[BlackDogg]

Uh oh...

Incoming game postponements for the North?

As long as Koskinen doesn't catch anything.

wait for it.....

ba dum

Yeah, hopefully a Pulju situation

Apparently it’s a contact of his that tested positive so he has to go into protocol and produce the requisite number of negative tests.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Still no Lagesson or Bouchard? Very disappointing.

 

[Brown Cat]

Gotta have room for Russel somehow.

 

[The Panther]

I would like to see what the current North division standings are if the NHL was using the Euro 3-points-for-regulation-wins system and if the League wasn't perpetually rewarding teams that get lucky in overtime/shoot-outs.

Yeah, the line-up is getting better but I think Bouchard has got to play, and Bear could probably sit for a while (I love him, but he needs to get sorted).

A thought: Could Haas play with RNH and JP? I really think Haas is a smart, largely mistake-free, high IQ player. Now, I don't know if he has enough finish to merit 2nd-line duty, but he certainly has the speed and the smarts.

 

[LTIR]

Playing OTT, got Smith in net
If you are not playing Bouch now then when will you?

I suggested haas with draisaitl.
Haas can carry the puck well

Good question

W-OT/SO-OTL-L

Toronto 16-2-2-7 54pts
Edmonton 15-1-0-11 47pts
Winnipeg 11-5-1-8 44pts
Montreal 11-0-7-6 40pts
Vancouver 10-2-2-15 36pts
Calgary 9-2-3-12 34pts
Ottawa 5-4-1-18 25pts

So it's pretty close to what it is now but Edmonton jumps to 2nd

3pts reg win
2pt OT/shootout win
1pt ot/shootout loss

 

[Tobias Kahun]

shift to shift.

That would require proper coaching, i'll believe that when I see it.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

They do have room for Russell.

If Lags is still banged up I could see not inserting him.

But theres zero reason if hes healthy to not atleast get him back in one of these next 2 games, same with Bouchard.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Still a little weird seeing Kahun sat.
Not the biggest fan of him but I don't think he is worth sitting
