Yes, Kenny planned for Henrique to be injured.

I mean I guess he did, Brown was in the pressbox and is able to come in and play. Gagner is there as well.

Honestly, you're right you don't plan for a guy to get hurt, but the depth in on another level this year.

Hell Foegele who was a solid top-9 contributor all season, but is the 4th line because of slow start to the playoffs. It's kind of awesome to have this kind of depth.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Brown is scoring tonight

I bet my underwear on it.

Janmark as the #1 LW? I'm curious how these lines will mesh..

Go Oilers!

From Oilers TV:: Knoblauch mentioned this week that Janmark will start on the top line.

We can expect to see a regular rotation of players in 1LW while Henrique is out.

You are missing my direction. Whining that "Hey look, all of Kenny's deadline acquisitions aren't playing game 1." is foolish. Stetcher was brought in as a 7. Carrick isn't outplaying other guys and Henrique is injured.

 

[VainGretzky]

whoever you bet with is praying he does not score

 

[Stoneman89]

Yes, Kenny planned for Henrique to be injured.

Wasn't saying it for criticism, relax. Just pointing it out. I realize that the other 2 were depth signings and Henrique's injury was unforseen.

Sure, they added depth, it still helps. I think Carrick's a bit banged up as well.

You don’t really plan for a guy to get injured sure. But durability should be part of the calculations when deciding who to target. Henrique hasn’t played a full season in 6 years and he’s 34. There was a risk there that should have been considered.

 

[rboomercat90]

Neither are Vegas’s .

Seriously though, f*** Vegas.

Yeah, f*** those guys.

I don't know what to tell you. He has an ankle injury, is that a history for him or did he take one of the "too many" slewfoots the Oilers took last round?

Like sometimes guys get hurt, because things happen. You're acting like they brought Klefa back, but are surprise when his shoulder failed.

I hope Stone has a spleendid off season

I’m not acting like anything. Just saying he’s 34 and doesn’t have a history of durability. And that’s something you should consider when making a trade.

Maybe just a freak accident though. But less durable players still tend to have more of those. Either way it doesn’t matter, this is the team we got.

Should have traded for a 27 year old in the their prime who has never been injured and could guarantee wouldn’t get injured instead. Oh also if they can play C and W as well as PK and PP if needed that would be great.

Don't forget that it would be preferable if they came for less than a million cap hit as well.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Let's go men. Is it game time yet.

 

[Da McBomb]

Longest workday ever is finally over. Time to go home.. get intoxicated and cheer on an Oilers win

Apparently Vegas isn't too happy with the way that their LTIR was managed this year, and they need to pour resources into the area to take it to the next level, and are looking for a VP of LTIR Management. My bet is they hire former Oiler Joffrey Loophole for the position.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Arthur Silovs will be known as Arthur Sievelots when the Oilers are done with him

I hope so. He played good against Nashville but they didn't get a lot of shots on him. He's never played against McDavid and Draisaitl. Theres a fair chance they'll break him.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

All that matters is if skinner can be good. No game 2 like last series or like all of the playoffs last season, please.

Really need Perry/Foegele to show up, and hopefully we see the new Connor Brown tonight, too

 

[bellagiobob]

 

[Porkleaker]

Just f***ing obliterate them!!! Their dumbf*** junkie fans deserve the worst.

 

[Vagabond]

Excitement has finally peaked right now. I cannot wait for that puck to drop. I really hope the Oil blitz them hard and early on their rookie goalie and light him up! Kill whatever confidence he thought he had built up from the Preds series!

Let's go Boyz!

Who would then set sail for Robidas Island to retrieve its founding resident for additional assistance.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

3 hours to go...

Blood pressure is already starting to rise.

 

[brentashton]

Kozari. Pffft.

 

[ZJuice]

Kozari is our friend now
