Pre-Game Talk: [EXHIBITION] Final Game: Vancouver vs. Edmonton - Sat, Oct 4 - 7:00PM PST - SNET 1

[tantalum]

Well win or lose one thing is guaranteed...oiler fans will see a completely different game than the one I watch. If I get to watch it (I don't think this one is on in the states)

 

[Scurr]

I hope Edler/Tanev and Sbisa/Stanton play together and play well again. It would be great if the defensive pairs fit together nicely with everyone healthy.

I hope Edler/Tanev and Sbisa/Stanton play together and play well again. It would be great if the defensive pairs fit together nicely with everyone healthy.

Even better if somebody goes down with injury (as this team seems to always be cursed with injuries). Easier for a guy - if he's already playing well - to adjust to a new defensive partner.

Why they sitting Jensen for last game...... Makes no sense rather sit Dorsett or if they plan on not keeping him just send him down and not keep my hopes.

If he's sitting out the last game and HS being sent down, Horvat being hurt... it probably means Jensen made the team. Question is will he play or if he's the extra forward. Hopefully he's one of the top 9 'cause having him here as a 13th forward doesn't help his development much.

 

[Pip]

I thought he got replaced at some point by Matthias but you are right he was on the wing for a bit when that line was clicking.

Not that I remember

 

[DL44]

Hopefully we see a little more of these Oilers tomorrow night:

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Now I know why there called the Oilers. They are so easy to slick by.

Anyways now that Richie and Kass are in.

Sedin - Sedin - Vrbata
Burrows - Bonino - Kassian
Higgins - Vey - Matthias
Dorsett - Richardson - Hansen

Agreed, it makes sense if you belive that either Willie has decided that he is ready or is not. I think they've determined that they'll give him some of the nine games. if he wasn't they would have sent him with Hunter.

So as far as we know, Vey, Horvat, and Jensen made it to the next round of selections.

 

[SopelFan*]

Said it already but I bet when horvats good to go theyll send jensen down.

 

[Steveorama]

Hoping after Kassian has a chat with Pitlick, that Eakins is again referring to "a disturbing play by a disturbing player".

9 games means nothing for Jensen.

 

[Archangel]

too early for the Oilers suck chant?

 

[iFan]

So how many Oiler fans will Kassian anger tomorrow night? They love hating him

 

[WhoseLainesItAnyway]

I don't like the idea of Dorsett on the third line though, that is playing too high up for him in my opinion. Actually that third line kind of just looks like a mess to me. Who on that line is going to bury a pass from Vey?

Vey puts the puck on net, Dorsett and Hansen go to the net looking for rebounds

 

[Aphid Attraction]

Hope he has made the team, but even if he hasn't yet and is only a posible, his presence puts pressure on the top 9 to preform, and at this stage not a lot is to be gained for him at AHL camp... So they could just keep him as injury cover until the start of the season

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Well, last game we saw what the Canucks would be without the Sedins: still better than the Oilers.

Though seriously, our lineup is a 1st line, 2 3rd lines and a 4th line.

So much for my Kid Line hope. Oh well.

LOL

It was an Oilers pp but there's only 4 of them in play. Where's the 5th guy?

Oh, there he is.

[Mr. Canucklehead]

This thread is gold already.

In all seriousness, I hope Kassian focuses on new and exciting ways to aggravate the Oilers rather than going after plugs like Pitlick.

Kassian = Our Marchand
Horvat = Bergeron
Tryamkin = Chara
Sbisa = McQuaid

Mission accomplished Benning!

I hope Kassian pesters the Oilers to death though cause thats what knocks teams off their game.
