Nah. I think McAvoy might sit tonight. He’s fighting the puck a bit as of late.hopefully bergy or krejci sits tonight.
time to start resting our older players for more important games.

I have never understood why goalies literalky sit in their crease when the play
is completely in the other teams zone.
Definitely agree but coach had said that he wouldn’t be part of the rotation of defence sitting.Nah. I think McAvoy might sit tonight. He’s fighting the puck a bit as of late.
I made it through the whole game.
If Edmonton had scored on a 3 on 5, I was going to wake up the baby with my own crying/fussing just to show him how the other half lives.
Yeah I don't get the love from them towards himOutshot 14-7 with Forbort on the ice. 34% xG
He should be in 100% of the time.Team needed Gryz for breakouts last night. Would like to see him in for Forbort against faster teams. We will need both.

For sure can see it .That man wants to win and be the best bigtime.I thought Oilers had some looks .Yamamoto missed wide open net.Bruins pp is bothering me.You can see the disappointment on his face. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him walk away from Edmonton if he makes it to UFA. He’ll be 29. Best years of his career being wasted in an organization that just never seems to figure things out. Outstanding player, he deserves a chance to win a Cup.
Forbert was good last couple games .There was a couple plays where he had to squeeze the forchecker out coming down the wall that Grizz would have gotten flattened on.Orlov McAvoy Carlo Lindholm will eat a ton of minutes come playoffs so that leaves 3rd pair and PK .He should be in 100% of the time.
I guess they might not trust Gryz and Cliffy, but I would. Forbort just stinks.
If they don't trust it, maybe try something to upgrade the right side? Not sure who is available, but Lindholm, Orlov and gryz is your lock left side, no questions asked IMO. Let Forbort and JZ be the backups. Try to upgrade on the right side and let Cliffy be the 4
In most instances it is a good idea but not with McDavid and Draisaital on the ice. They stole the puck a couple of times and just missed tying the score.I didn't have a problem with all the forwards on the 5v3 at the end of the game. It was a risky gamble that almost backfired, but the Bruins score there and it puts the game away, so why not put the game in the hands of your 5 best offensive players. Fortune usually favors the bold and at the end of the game, the good guys did win.

McDavid was even, so I guess Forbort out played him.And outscored opponents 1-0.
The real disaster on that play was Poolparty, who let Orlov walk right around him with full possession on what should have been a breakout.Just watched the highlights. I don't know EDM well enough but on the Foligno goal I have no idea what their D was doing. McDavid had a good backcheck and was clearly going after coyle and the D just let Foligno walk right to the net. McDavid gets a lot of crap for his "defensive play" but he seemed fine to me.

Why the hell doesn't the NHL allow 21 of 23 guys to dress?
Excellent! Carry it forwardEmbarrassing soft goals. Need to get an NHL level goalie by the deadline.
Brilliant response.
Shots on goal with Forbort on the ice is very significant. But not goals scored?
Good question, and there probably isn't any better answer than "because it's always been that way." There is no real reason to not allow 21 to dress, or even 22.
