Nurse and Bear... Koekkoek and Barrie... McDavid with... Drai and Puljujarvi.

Per Stauffer’s ‘eye in the sky’;

Draisaitl-McDavid-Puljujarvi
RNH-McLeod-Kassian
Shore-Khaira-Archibald
Ennis-Haas-Yamamoto

Nurse-Bear
Kulikov-Larsson
Koekkoek-Barrie

Smith

No Neal. No Chiasson. No Kahun.

THis cancels out Pi's post

I mean. I’m trying not to agree... I’m trying very hard. But. I just. What in the heck.

I don’t trust McLeod to be on the ice in a 0-0 tied game in the 3rd period... let’s put him between Nuge and Kass next game as our second line!

And that fourth line?? They’re going to get bodied

I guess it's not much different than what we're used to. McDrai or bust! And even if McDrai play great and do score, maybe the bottom 9 busts us anyways.

It’s always the same story. Bad bottom six, worrisome defense, and somehow Gen X Mike Smith is our ride or die.

Still, the Jets won 2 by becoming a defensively suffocating team. Does Ehlers make them better at that or just make them worse at doing what the Oilers do best? These guys aren’t the 85 Oilers. Hell, they aren’t even the 85 Jets.

Did we upgrade from bad bottom 6 to bad bottom 9 this year? If we're so out of ideas we're tossing a rookie that has not really been able to do much as our 2nd line C...I think this may be some new ground being broken.

Maybe Bouchard can play wing? He’s got a decent shot. Is there a way to make the 2nd line look visually better if they’re running McDrai?

McDavid is going to play 32 minutes tonight.

If McDavid plays 32 minutes, I’d put Drai at 38 with Pk and all.

Would anyone be surprised if this actually happens?

I would, and no way I'd want to see either of those totals. Drai doesn't have 38 min in 60. Its not meant to offend, he's great but it's going to drop off significantly after 25, especially if he's chasing around with Connor on the 1st line. No one on the roster has the legs and the lungs to remain effective in parallel with McDavid. I'd rather see 97 doubled occasionally, but cant get carried away with LD minutes. If Leon gets up around 30 minutes of 60 his legs aren't going to be moving much. Hard to say if we're going to see much pp/pk tonight. If the game is called by hockey rules, it's good for the Oilers, I would think.

I think tonight we're counting on early and constant push, Wpg breaking down in their defensive blanket, and getting up early in this game. Everything has aligned for Wpg so far, Edm has played well at points but has more obviously. Get up early and don't let them hang around.
