Perron and Joensuu are coming off injuries. Eakins put them on lines in hopes that they play tomorrow.
I think it's safe to assume that Gordon will center the 3rd line.
The 4th line... I have no clue. I hope its Gazdic - Smyth - Yakupov. But I hate that line too. Hah.
well the Oilers chances to make the playoffs is at .6%

That might even be generous. When's the last time a team started 4-11-2 and ended up making the playoffs?
Any word on the goalies? Has Bachman's groin recovered?

Mc79hockey posted this and It's quite surprising.
Just realized how pathetically soft our top 6 is.
Looks like I needs. Few more drinks before reading that chart.
Belov goes in? Please no.
Yak to 4th line, let's destroy his confidence entirely. Eakins has no clue what to do with him. None whatsoever. LW. RW. All 4 lines and pressbox (where presumably he eats potato chips with J Schultz). Benching. No clue to ice times.
Can someone tell me why for the love of Christ Hemsky, who will be gone by the trade deadline, is playing in front of a player like Yakupov who presumably will be here for eons to come according to Eakins.
Can someone tell me what any of the Oilers coaches see in Acton?
Can anyone tell me why Marcobello goes to wing on a checking line and Smyth centers the 4th line?
I do not understand Eakins. He sounds clued out in his interviews, completely. But I love how pissed off he gets when the other team scores. He looks like a pissed off kid.
Why is this a bad thing?
He hasn't impressed me at all. I would like to see Larsen and Fedun for a few more games. I assumed one of those 2 would be yanked for Belov.
I think he's been getting better and better until he went down. Was adding a physical element too recently.
The only way he'll adjust more to the NA game is to play more, and I think that if he's ready to go, that's a plus for us.
That being said I like Larsen and Fedun as well, so if Belov isn't 100% then it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
