Amazing poll.

 

[oXo Cube]

Allowing people to pick multiple options is subtle brilliance.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

AHAHAA

The D in this entire game looks AHL. I Can't really tell which team is worse.


"Sink or swim" time for Bear, Benning, Lagesson, and Manning.


Guessing they all sink, but we have to keep 2 of them up anyways.

 

[Skolman]

Well I figured I'd have to wait until next month to see Connor this year, nice to see he's playing tonight.

 

[McDNicks17]

I was hoping for going to tent city a la Khabibulin as an option.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Zoinks if our D ever looks like that during the regular season I'd wave the white flag.

 

[boxcar65]

Manning will probably go down the next day or two, but it would be nice to see him have a good game tonight.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

According to Lowetide, Smith is starting and getting the whole game.

Also, AM34 gets a tattoo of underwear so he can just go commando from here on out.

 

[BleedOil]

Jurco-Mcdavid-Neal top line tonight

 

[Captain Controversy]

Atleast the Jets D makes ours D look good.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Jurco-Mcdavid-Neal top line tonight

Did someone announce this?

 

[nexttothemoon]

Cheering for Haas to do well so I don't have to watch Colby Cave work really hard all season long and get 3 assists in 82 games.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Zoinks if our D ever looks like that during the regular season I'd wave the white flag.

That's a lot of injuries man.

 

[Shathar]

considering there's a good chance these preseason games are the most interesting games that will happen all year, I really hope there's a good streaming source tonight.

 

[Faelko]

Did someone announce this?

Believe it was Gregor via Twitter

Jurco-Mcdavid-Neal top line tonight

Imagine if that line clicked along with Drai with Nygard and Burdasov.

That could throw a bit of a curveball into potential lineups. I want Nuge to find success with a partner, but he's actually done well with JJ when they play together. Maybe JJ-RNH-Chiasson/Kassian could be a pretty decent third line with RNH taking occasional trips up the lineup in games where the offense isn't clicking.

Atleast the Jets D makes ours D look good.

Well I wouldn't go that far, but we could at least say it's comparable.

 

[Drivesaitl]

I'll be blunt here. I don't believe Nygard is much of a player here. Too small, no hands, and no grit. All he's got is some wheels and without the talent to make plays at this level that isn't nearly enough game to interest me, in the slightest. Complete nothing player. Frankly, and theres no polite way to say this, but if you have players like Nygard in your topsix you still have gaping holes in the lineup.

Burdasov I have all kinds of patience for because he possesses a shot, shows me he knows where to go on the ice, and his play has been intriguing. All you get with nygard is him getting to a stretch pass only to fumble the puck or waste an apparent scoring chance.

I was hoping Haas could be something but looks like another pretender.

On a positive note P Russell has been all people could want and expect after last year and he should be in the bottomsix and is a reliable worker. I've liked seeing Sheahan as well. Still not completely sold on Colby Cave. Not anything specific but just that he's unlikely to ever add any support offense. He's pure fill.

 

[sundaysleftovers]

Final audition for some guys. I am pulling for Bear, Burdasov and Nygard. Hope they do well and crack the lineup.

Lets go Oilers!

 

[Del Preston]

Burd is the wurd

 

[CycloneSweep]

 

[YakDavid]

Looking forward to seeing Neal with McDavid and Burdasov with Drai.

Atleast the Jets D makes ours D look good.

You do have to feel bad for their fans though. If Buff retires, they'll have lost 4 of their top 5 defensemen from last year in terms of minutes played and their top paid D-man will be Kulikov who's minutes last year were that of a 6th d-man. Couple that with 2 of their top 4 scoring forwards also being out of the lineup. That's just a huge amount of talent to lose in an offseason.

In one off-season they went from having one of the deepest right sides on defense to possibly the thinnest.

Well Winnipeg’s d is pretty much that without Morrissey. Who knows what’s happening with Byfuglien.
