Lol you said made of glass and paper mache which implies as much.
Toughest d-men in the league are going to go down if you target the head. Rather unfortunate for us is all.

Any word on whether Pearson is facing discipline or is it another example of overlooking dirty hits on Oiler players?
He's got a discipline hearing.
The big question is will it be in person or over the phone.
This seems like a common occurrence in the preseason. Was speaking to a friend of mine and we had the thought that it feels like these teams ice a team of goons or play more recklessly in the preseason. Many players which have no chance of making the NHL, go out and play in destroy mode by injuring players, and even if they face discipline it really doesn't matter since they either won't be in the NHL anyway, or will likely miss almost no regular season games (see Tanner Pearson after his hearing). So the Oilers start losing games b/c they have key injuries to start the year and teams like LA and Vancouver get a better start to the season with a division rival losing games right from the start. A pretty good coaching tactic #amirite?
This BS really needs to stop! All of Pearson's missed games should be in the reg season. And I go back to what I feel a proper discipline should be: He should miss as many games as Davidson misses, especially when it's a blatant hit to the head in an attempt to injure.
I think that as much as possible suspensions should be served when your team plays the team against which the offence took place. For example, if a player gets a two-game suspension for an offence against the Oilers he should have to sit out two games against the Oilers.
Wait a minute, has there actually been any reports saying Klefa is day to day?
I think he took a whack near the eye but hasn't been 'out' so to speak.
From gregor's latest blog about tonights lineup

Maroon-Draisaitl-Yakupov
Hendricks-Letestu-Kassian
Slepyshev-Lander-Pitlick
Klefbom-Larsson
Simpson-Fayne
Reinhart-Gryba

Kris Versteeg and Brandon Davidson are both day to day, and it sounds like Davidson won't be out very long which is great news for the Oilers.

Really don't know if we see Hendricks a lot this year. His body has a lot of miles on it and he continues to put the pedal to the metal.
This.
Last year he came in amazing shape but by mid season looked gassed and ineffective more often than not.
I suspect he will be in the line up as much as possible but hopefully they rest him more than they did last year.
Nuge not skating?

That stupid piece of s*** Tanner Pearson suspended 4 games. 2 preseason and 2 regular season games. F****** c*** should have got 4 regular season games. Everytime I see the replay it looks more and more intentional. Nov. 17th is the first match-up between the Kings and the Oilers. I'll be watching to see his @55 pummeled.
