Recalled/Assigned: Pitlick coming up (03/19: Emerg. Recall)

[ghostnights]

He hits the ref, beer guy, raffle ticket vendor, commentators and every habs fun. He is unstoppable.

It has been a while since we drafted 1st overall. The team is "benefiting" from the management deliberate tanking strategy. After drafting Hall, they should have gone out and brought in a couple of quality veteran players the way Calgary and Colorado did this off-season instead of hoping that another 1st overall pick will help them to build a contender in 15 years.

 

[Still DRAI]

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

Honestly wouldn't mind this!

 

[MikeModano9]

Ebs will play, out with soreness/stiffness sounds like a maintenance day. Unless they aren't telling us something.. This is the Oilers we're talking about.

What Willis has to say about Pitlick so far this season:

Tyler Pitlick. The good news is that Pitlick is getting heavy minutes in all situations (including, for the first time as a pro, lots of penalty killing experience). Also good is his combination of speed and physical game; he’s played the ‘big body’ role on a top line with Linus Omark and Anton Lander pretty well (and he threw a beautiful reverse check that steamrolled Greg Nemisz after the Calgary prospect had him lined up) The bad news is he still isn’t scoring; he has three points and just 10 shots through seven contests. Pitlick has mostly played right wing but looked really good in one outing at centre.

From todays Baron's Watch article.

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

They're lacking forwards in general, with the Pitlick injury and Eager supposedly hurt they have Larsen practicing as RW in OKC.

 

[Calgary McOilers]

Sounds like they might ice a semi-AHL lineup tomorrow evening.

 

[ManByng]

looks like Omark really isn't in the cards for the Oilers in the future?

 

[Mr Forever]

Hartikanen and Rajala would be awesome right now

 

[McShogun99]

Here's our lineup for the start of December, will probably stay pretty close to the same until the end of the season.

Yakupov - Arcobello - Jones
Smyth - Gordon - Omark
Pitlick - Acton - Brown
Gazdic - Lander - Macintyre

IR: RNH, Eberle, Joensuu, Gagner, Perron
LTIR: Hall, Hemsky

 

[rasarhdasd]

If Pitlick could add any sort of offense he would be a great third liner. Hopefully he'll get a game or two and build off of that back in the AHL.

So long as they weasel their way into 10th and grab Ritchie/Virtanen.

 

[Connor McOilers]

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

I've been waiting for people on here to start talking about this lol, J. Schults to 2nd line C


Also if the injury bug sticks we're going to need a "the other guys" themed GTD.

Will pay attention to Pitlick if he plays, to be honest I pretty much wrote him off as a bust due to his complete inability to put up offence in the AHL but he did come out flying in the pre season games.

Obviously his shoulder fell off, season ending surgery.

 

[The Nuge]

Sweet! I said they should give him a shot in the last PGT. If he plays, it'll be nice to see someone with some skill who finishes every check

 

[Crobby]

Obviously his shoulder fell off, season ending surgery.

Force him to play injured until we're out of the playoff hunt..

then season ending surgery

 

[skorf]

If we're putting a D at forward... I'd recall Larsen.

In the Winnipeg exhibition game, he forechecked harder than Jones ever has, I'd rather see him play on the wing than Jones...

 

[Seedling]

Hartikanen and Rajala would be awesome right now

Yea, but they chose to not wait for this opportunity.

 

[McGlassbangers]

How good/bad skater is he? I mean compared to other Oilers?

 

[McDNicks17]

How good/bad skater is he? I mean compared to other Oilers?

He'll pretty easily be the fastest skater in the line-up if Hall is out, I'd say.

 

[sepHF]

How good/bad skater is he? I mean compared to other Oilers?

He's a very fast skater, he'd be one of the fastest guys on the ice.

 

[SterlingArcher]

Ebs is supposed to be out from practice for precautionary reasons while Smyth is day to day back in edmonton getting looked at.

 

[The Nuge]

He'll pretty easily be the fastest skater in the line-up if Hall is out, I'd say.

I don't know. Yak and Petry can both fly

 

[McDNicks17]

I don't know. Yak and Petry can both fly

Yeah, I guess "pretty easily" was a bit of hyperbole.

 

[McGlassbangers]

He'll pretty easily be the fastest skater in the line-up if Hall is out, I'd say.

He's a very fast skater, he'd be one of the fastest guys on the ice.

What? Why he hasn't been in the lineup instead of Jones/Brown?

 

[McClelland]

Strange that they recall a C when we need a winger!

Omark has been first star of the game 2 of the last 3 games, 1 sd decider and one game with 2+2 thats strong paper.

But i thinks its better that Omark is in ripping mode for a month or so in Ahl before we call him up.

His shape was awful in camp and he has just recently find his game.
