Jost should shut down McDavid no problem

 

[stealth1]

Not expecting much from them today. They never seem to do well when they play this early.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

You boys are on your own, I'll be sleeping through this debacle

 

[stealth1]

I will be watching most of it. I still enjoy watching them.

 

[Bowe Byrum]

is Thompson still out ?

 

[Chainshot]

is Thompson still out ?

Not sure. They said "day-to-day LBI" in Nashville and it seemed like a surprise. There's been some chatter of the flu hitting them so maybe it was that?

 

[stealth1]

He's back today

 

[old kummelweck]

Oilers win 4-1 with 2 ENG. UPL has 56 saves on 58 shots.

 

[Ace]

Good thing he’s back. They lost their replacement top six Center and recent ice time dominator *checks notes* Jordan Greenway.

I thought Robinson was playing center.

Bryson is the McAntidote.

I thought Robinson was playing center.

Lance tweeted out the lineup with Greenway in place of Thompson and now it's just been beaten to death. Cozens widely lead all their forwards, let alone all their centers, in ESTOI but we keep seeing that post like it's supposed to hold weight.

 

[old kummelweck]

I am curious how the team responds to management basically acknowledging something they've probably been a little denial about... there is no way they are making the playoffs. They seemed to be battling like points still mattered. It's a bit of an audition for who wants to be here. A higher pick is nice, but the team playing hard and consistent is more important than a few spots higher in the draft.

No Greenway, eh? *sigh*

Well, maybe Bryson can repeat his McDavid whispering from a couple years ago...........

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

I'd swap Olofsson and Robinson but this is lineup is at least better then the one in Nashville..

One of the things that frustrate me with Bryson is that guy is a great skater but just seems scared to turn it on... Wish he'd carry the puck more too.

Possible after-effects of getting Dahlin's stick in the head?

Robinson forechecks and is dogged on pucks. Vic isn't. I can understand why they did it.

yeah I guess.. I just think Robinson is very little to no help offensively.

But it's not like that swap would make much of a difference anyway.

It is going to be a …

Robinson was the reason for Girgensons' goal the other night. Vic has no dog in him. There is no point putting him there and thinking there will be any positive impact.

I want that sweatshirt.

It's games like this, where I don't think they stand a chance, that they sometimes show up and surprise everyone.

So today will either be a very fun gam to watch, or I'm going to be doing lawn work by the 1st intermission.
