The carousel continues.

By all accounts Pitlicker has had a very good start to the season in OKC.

It will be nice to have his grit in the lineup...its too bad the kid doesn't have a little more offence to his game.

 

[ghostnights]

I can't imagine what the line up will look like against MTL.

 

[nhlisajoke]

we win 1 effin game and the whole lineup gets injured... thats awesome

 

[backhandsauce]

I think Eberle and Smyth will play tomorrow.

This is precautionary.

Yak RNH Hemsky
Perron Arcobello Jones
Smyth Gordon Brown
Gazdic Acton Pitlick

Grebeshkov was practicing there today. This could get interesting.

Yak RNH Hemsky

Smyth Gordon Brown
Gazdic Acton Pitlick

Jones on the 2nd line is scary...scary bad

 

[Oilception]

and all of a sudden, Centers are perfect and we are lacking wingers

 

[Draiskull]

I think Pitlick will go on the 2nd line before Jones.

put J.Schultz where he blongs!! top forward line

If Mike Brown is playing third line I might not watch.

Hopefully he gets icetime and not press box. I am hoping he is one of the second rounders that finally comes around

 

[nexttothemoon]

I'm actually surprised Omark hasn't gotten the callup... with Hall/Eberle both potentially out you'd think they'd want to bring someone in with a little more offensive upside to help fill that void. I know Omark hasn't been great in his time with the Oilers but offensively he still has the most potential from the options they have in OKC.

I am guessing they want Yak to get on track before they bring up another guy with similar issues.

That's what I was thinking as well. Oh well, the Oilers brought up size instead of skill. At least that's new.

this type of stuff only happens to the oilers... you can't WRITE stuff this funny

By all that is holy, let this be his new nickname.

In the perfect world, he shouldn't be playing any higher then the 4th line. At the same time, I don't know that I'd elevate any of Gazdic, Acton or Brown. I could see the coaching staff elevating Acton to the wing and putting Pitlick in the middle.

The call up doesn't really make sense with who's not practicing. Omark must be pulling his hair out.

At any rate, I'm going to be overly positive. If he ends up playing, I think it'll be a limited 10 ES minutes or under debut. He's going to hit everyone. Like, 20 hits dolled out between the opposition. Even the goaltender. Especially the backup goaltender. His hits are going to dislodge pucks and cause turnovers. The coaching staff wont be able to send him down, for fear that he'll hit them in retaliation.
