Pre-Game Talk: Game 17 Thursday with the Bolts, are bags on or off?

[Dorian2]

Heard on 1260 this morning that Yaks is a healthy scratch for tonight's game.

@ Beerfish..I guess you were right. Good call.

 

[GMofOilers]

So if Yak is a healthy scratch are Eakins and Mact not on the same page?

 

[GMofOilers]

Eager Acton are out

Hall and Omark are in

Tweet explosion that Acton and Eager coming out for Hall and Omark.

Hall is back? Thank god..

Now he just need to go ON FIRE, nba jam style, and get us to .500 by the end of the month

"It's good that I didn't miss the 4 weeks that were planned. If I felt good enough to play I knew I had to play." @hallsy04. He's back!

Just heard that on Lowetide/Boretide. Yak is still in.

 

[s7ark]

Thank god Hall is back. Now we're only Perron away from having our entire top 6. Assuming Gagner is still in

Well, looks like there is going to be a lot of offence in tonight's line-up.

Watch us get shutout.

 

[McGlassbangers]

If we keep Stamkos out of scoring places this is going to be easy one. 7-1, Hall 2, RNH 2, Gagner 1, Omark 2 - Stamkos 1.

 

[Gord]

where's the game day thread? shame on whomever is scheduled. that's an Oiler like effort.

 

[duul]

Hall-RNH-Eberle
Omark-Gagner-Hemsky
Smyth-Gordon-Yakupov
Gazdic-Arcobello-Eager

Hopefully somehow there's a way to get Arco into the top 9 instead of Smyth.

I'm more worried about MSL.

RIN is getting it warmed up and she is baking cookies

 

[GMofOilers]

Hall has to wear a brace for the rest of the season. Must of damaged something in that knee.

Eager is out, Jones is in from the sounds of things.

He should just play in a full-suit of armour.

@EdmontonJack
Ryan Smyth will play centre tonight, with Gazdic/Jones. Hall and Yakupov on wings with Gagner in middle. Still Hemsky-RNH-Eberle. Gordon centres Omark and Arcobello.

Hemsky - RNH - Eberle
Hall - Gagner - Yakupov
Omark - Gordon - Arcobello
Gazdic - Smyth - Jones

Guessing Omark and Arco with Gordon in the middle.

Interesting indeed.

Hall-Gagner-Yakupov
Hemsky-RNH-Eberle?
Omark-Gordon-Arcobello?
Gazdic-Smyth-Jones

If only Eager was playing with Omark and Arcobello, then we could call it the Ego Line.

 

[Still DRAI]

I hope the Hall - Gagner - Yak line looks as good as it did at the end of last season. It'd be nice to get gagner and yak going, hopefully hall isn't still upset at yak.

 

[OilerTyler]

The lineup would look a lot better with Smyth on the third line, Acton on the fourth and Omark in the press box in my opinion.

 

[Gord]

RIN is getting it warmed up and she is baking cookies

cookies? why didn't you say so!



the Oilers now have 4 decent centres. why not play all 4 of them at C?

Agreed. Would guess Arco/RNH are going take a fair share of Acton's PK minutes.
