I like Yamo's effort but think that maybe he'd fit better on a "junkyard dog" line with Caggiula. Bump Jesse to the Drai line and drop Yamo to the 3rd line.
This is what I was thinking as well:I like Yamo's effort but think that maybe he'd fit better on a "junkyard dog" line with Caggiula. Bump Jesse to the Drai line and drop Yamo to the 3rd line.
When talking about Jesse, he says: ”...he’s still learning in some other moments where he’s got caught doing some things that effect the team at the other end or maybe the teammates coming onto the ice. We’ve talked and talked and talked to him about it and he’ll have to just keep working on it.”
What do you all think this specifically refers to?
When I watch the Oilers play, I keep an eye out for what Jesse does on the ice. In the NYR game, especially in the 3rd, I witnessed multiple times that he was
These points have appeared regularly in his game in my opinion. I don’t quite understand what McLellan means with his comment.
- Defensively aware, covering for D that overplayed
- First one back to make a line change, while Rieder and Yamo more or less double shifted on Jesse’s spot when Strome and Caggiula had already come onto the ice (coach’s orders maybe?)
- Creating offense, and if Caggiula finished that feed from Jesse where he was 1-on-1 with Lundqvist would we now be singing praises of how the bottom 6 has waken up?
Against NYR, he got 11:19 TOI, which is in line with Caggiula and Yamamoto, surprisingly. The 3rd line was sheltered and they also were more or less the team’s top 3 in fancy stats for this game. I hope they won’t be relegated back to 4th line duty after 1 game.
Edit: Ok, looking at the shift chart shows that he also overstayed his visit a couple times, which on those occasions meant that he was on ice with 97 and 93. I guess that could be what Todd was so *****y about.

Just trade Pulju to an organization that actually respects him. I don't see how the Oilers are going to turn into a cup contending franchise with player management that's as bad as this.
Imagine this team if the Oil had taken Matthew Tkachuk instead of Pulju.... Sure hindsight is 20/20, but at the time I LOVED Tkachuk's game, drive, winner attitude, edge. Tkachuk had just come off a massive Memorial Cup. I just think this team would have a different edge if he was on it. I watch Pulju and all I see is a baby deer skittering around on the ice, fumbling pucks and lacking sense. I worry he will never have IT.

Yamamoto still needs a year or 2 in the AHL. Let him put on a bit more weight and gain some confidence. Put JP on the second line with Draisaitl.
Bullshit. He hasn't gotten any decent chances and yet he somehow needs to step up whilst McLellan is breathing down his neck and giving him tons of shit for minor mistakes? He's going to waste.Maybe Pulju needs to step up and show he belongs... Cause right now he belongs in Bakersfield. Who would want him for anything solid or equitable in return?

I really hate Todd McLellan.
