Pre-Game Talk: One last tune-up before the marathon begins

[McShogun99]

I see we're still not resting any players besides Smith.

This is pretty much our playoff lineup except Russell in for 4K and Shore/Kassian in for Nygard.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

I wonder if McLeod got vaccinated and is just out because he's feeling the side effects a bit harsher than some of the other guys.

 

[NashtoNowitzki]

God I sure hope not. Russell over Jones? Do you want one of either Russell or Kulikov out there 30-35 minutes a night in the playoffs? They can't move the puck f***ing AT ALL.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Tired: Why aren't we resting McDrai

Wired: Where the f*** is McLeod?

Because McDrai want to play. They need to keep the engine running. A week off is too much.

McLoed is under the weather.

I don’t but we know that Tippett loves his vets.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Glad 4K is getting in to shake some rust. I don't see him playing in the playoffs, but one game before is better then going in cold. Also glad Haas and Nygard are getting in.

Jones is an AHL level D-man; let's hope that he doesn't see too much ice in the playoffs

Jones is the 3rd best LD on the roster.

GAME DAY THREAD IS UP (Early I know but its less than 24 hours to puck drop)

GDT: - Bubble Wrap Overkill. Oilers v Canucks, Saturday May 15, 1:30 PM. SN, NHLNW.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Jones is the 3rd best LD on the roster.

this is why they should move bear or bouchard to LD

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Agreed.

 

[Tyrolean]

I would rest the big guns. Don't want to risk even the most remote chance of injury. 1 week off is no big deal. The team has no depth if any of the main players get injured it will be catastrophic.

 

[Messrules11]

Why don’t they scratch Khaira, guy is garbage and always was.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Why don’t they scratch Khaira, guy is garbage and always was.

Because he's one of our 12 best forwards?

 

[BlackDogg]

Not resting mcdrai does seem a bit odd I have to admit. Assuming they were given the choice

 

[Messrules11]

How is he among 12 best anywhere? He’s AHL and nothing more.
