At Least Thornton, Muzzin and Campbell are practicing
(also, are we just going to gloss over the fact that Marincin is listed in the "Lines at Leafs Practice" tweets?

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
Hutch has played much better than I expected, but I don't like our chances against McDavid & Co. with him in net.
Hopefully, we'll get some of our walking wounded back soon.

I think you'd see more of it if there was a team other than Edmonton that ran lines of Scrub-Superstar-Scrub. As soon as there's a 2nd competent forward to defend on the line, Kadri falls off.
Yeah really... although I think they can still win. Its about team D and everyone shutting the big 2 down.

I don't know that he was ever particularly good, his defensive IQ has always been pretty bad as far as positioning goes. There should really be a different term for what he was good at, being a pest with a purpose. Tkachuk's the same way, he's not really fast or that smart defensively but he can find ways to disrupt the other team's offensive flow.

Fear is the mind-killer.
Chin up, man. Our injuries suck but the Oilers are winning despite being outplayed most games. The underlying numbers aren't good. We would still have a decent chance. Tavares has been quite good defensively, just need others to step up on the 2nd line in that scenario.

I don’t think anyone ever seriously thought of Naz as a two-way force, but he’s got a swagger and edge to go along with his skill that was nice to have and is sorely missed.
I'm interested to see what Galchenyuk can bring in. Knew that he had have couple bad seasons and hope that this potential final chance can wake him up. Vesey falling is sort of expected, he was fine at the beginning of the season and he even had chance to play on the 2nd line for a while and then he went almost invisible.

As long as Matthews and Andersen stay day-to-day, seems like the team will have everyone but Simmonds back within the Oilers series. Not bad at all.

If Matthews misses time, does his daily cap hit go into our cap space? Same question applies to Andersen and Muzz.

I don't think it's a new paint job. It could be the same one he never got to use last year.

Most of Edmonton's points are from shredding Vancouver and Ottawa but you can't argue with shutouts and they have a ton of confidence. It will be a test of two teams at the top of their game vs Habs just playing over their heads. A real challenge to meet these guys with even a slightly depleted lineup. Hutch has been strong but it is still Hutch vs Drai and McDavid
