Broberg Demers could be a disaster

Broberg Demers could be a disaster

In before Virtanen is useless again.

 

[gordonhught]

On oilers tv it seems

i can see the warmup

 

[alphahelix]

well at least there should be some cuts after this one... would be nice if somebody blows the doors off instead of a bunch of guys limping through preseason

 

[CROTT]

Does Woodcroft know this is the Oilers camp not the Condors? This has to be the least amount of Vets ever dressed in an Oilers Preseason. Hard to get a gauge of a player when their whole line and maybe the defense is all play well above their abilities. Rush chances only, very little offensive zone time seams pointless...

yuck

vets likely rest of the way after this

There’s a lot of preseason games though, still like 4-5 left after this I think.

In before the C squad gets shut out, again

Three games left after tonight, this is number 5 Oilers will play 8 in total.

Would be great to see how Holloway or Bourgault ect are with actual quality NHLers on their line.

still time for that

You’re right then. I’d at least like to see a mixed lineup. Like play Hyman and RNH with Holloway, basically add guys into the mix with the vets. Rest a handful of vets and let some rookies play with NHL line mates.

Hopefully these younger guys can get some goals because unfortunately they haven’t been able to take control all on their own yet.

 

[CROTT]

still time for that

Its pointless, though this far in as it will be like the first Flames game. Probably 3/4 of the game in the Oilers zone.

 

[McBooya42]

He was fine in game 1 but bad yesterday so I'm glad he gets another game right away.

He was not good in game 1 - I'd have to respectfully disagree with that take.

Agree. These games are irrelevant for players with their roster spots locked up. I’m not even a particularly big fan of Puljujarvi, but it’s like every single shift generates a page of hate from some.

Jesse's spot is far from locked up lol.

Last chance Texaco for some of these guys before being sent down or cut. 2nd of a back 2 back, so it makes sense.

I find his lines a little bizarre to be honest.

Seems like Janmark - Shore - Ryan are a line tonight. Seems like we have seen this combo a few times. Makes me think it’s a possibility of being the actual fourth line. But I don’t think Shore is a top 12 forward unless the Oilers aren’t planning on having Holloway on the roster, which seems dumb to me.

But then we see Holloway - Malone - JP. Hopefully we see Holloway play with some top 9 combinations in the final 3 games.

Then Borgault just gets tossed with non skilled guys. I dunno, just feels like setting up guys for failure. Feels like an old school coach making the lines honestly.

 

[Broberg Speed]

...oh boy it's bob again

 

[Spawn]

Jesse's spot is far from locked up lol.

He is going to be a top 9 forward on the team. He isn't competing for an NHL roster spot.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Made a huge reach in fantasy this year picking up Skinner in the 17th round.

Hopefully it pans out.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Oilers site says this game is on Sportsnet but my guide says differently. Again, thanks for nothing Sportsnet.

FYI Centre Ice free preview is over; at least on Shaw. Game is now blacked out here which makes perfect sense!

I say, sincerely from the bottom of my heart; F*** Sportsnet Net.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Holloway Malone JP
Janmark Shore Ryan
Benson Hamblin Virtanen
Esposito McKegg Bourgault

Broberg Demers
Samorukov Kesselring
Neimelainen Kemp


I think that's the Oilers F and D lineups tonight as I tried to type quickly as Stauffer was saying it...

 

[Broberg Speed]

Bob Stauffer loves Luke Esposito

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Luke Esposito is playing his 4th preseason game without an NHL contract.

Bob's got me hypnotized.

 

[Wreckus]

Center Ice FTW. Nice to be able to watch this on the big screen.
