[Faelko]

Lineup as per Jack Michaels:

RNH-McDavid-Rattie
Lucic-Draisaitl-Yamamoto
Caggiula-Strome-Puljujärvi
Rieder-Brodziak-Khaira

Klefbom-Larssson
Nurse (200th GP)-Russell

Nice, Benning is sitting

So is Kassian

 

[Marty McSurly]

OH SNAP

 

[Saltcreek]

Wow, nevermind, Benning is out. That is f***ing awesome.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Like the look of the defence and 4th line.

You can feel the heat with Katz coming. If they lose and play poorly, I could see McLellan getting fired today.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

You son of a glitch.... you actually did it. You cut Benning.

 

[stratedge]

Further proof Katz reads hfboards.

*walks into dressing room before game*

"I've been consulting with my... consultants, and they're saying Benning and Kassian should be out of the line up. Make it so."

 

[bobbythebrain]

Hi Oiler friends, is it ok if I post with you guys during the game? I'm an Oilers bandwagoner for McDavid

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

OH SNAP

Careful folks, if the Oilers lose today...he might promote Scott Howson to GM and have Wayne Gretzky on the bench the next game!

 

[PaPaDee]

Won’t be watching, 6-2 Rags is my guess.

Well no wonder McLellan is limiting his motto "pets and vets"...

 

[A91]

OH SNAP

YOOOOO

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

We're all in this together!

This is gold

That wouldn't surprise me one bit. The rumor was that he wanted to fire everyone after a Dallas game last year but was talked out of it.

 

[McOvechking]

Y'know, if Katz is finally going to show some accountability, then he deserves credit. Him just being at the game speaks volumes. We'll see what his actions say in the coming weeks.

Coach has to know the pressure is on. If the players don't want to play for him anymore, do they intentionally lay a dud to force Chiarelli's hand?

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Given the lines in practice yesterday did somebody go over McLellan's head to set the lines today?

Katz and accountability do not belong in the same sentence
Gretzky and Lowe and MacT and Howson wield way too much influence in this organization
They will be replacing Chia with one of “their guys”
Ie. some ex-Oiler

At what point do we stop the experiment with Yamamoto on the 2nd line?

He looked great playing down the lineup in pre-season, promptly disappeared when he was put with Lucic and Drai, and then the second he was moved off their line started being noticeable again.

 

[rickysusedsht]

Big game no doubt

 

[Bryanbryoil]

OH SNAP

Good!

 

[The Head Crusher]

Far too early in the season for #BlameSoli.

Well I made the first GDT so I got your back bud!

 

[Burnoutboi]

Shut up, Spleen Gene. You’re one step away from used car sales.

 

[RegDunlop]

Genes on fire.
Sort of

 

[Captain Fantastic]

It'd be nice if Gene could cool it a bit when the Oilers are losing.. Irritating!!.. The Mute button is your friend.

I get the sense Lowe and Mac T don't do much of anything. Katz has Gretzky now, that's who Katz listens to, no one gives a shit what Lowe says when you have Gretzky there.
