Stauffer saying he thinks Nuge and JP are out another 3 weeks. That could be another 9 games at least.

That's after the deadline.
Then they'll be ready to play, but extremely rusty.. likely only 70% to 85%
Time to bring up some farmhands at forward, get a taste, nothing to lose.. might preserve a chance to get in the playoffs.. the crew we have up right now won't get it done.
Maybe even give Sammy tryout 2.0

So who would you call up? I guess Holloway but he's only played 20 games in a year so is he ready? Maybe.

The other guy is Marody but for me, it's either Marody or Benson as I see them as similar. Both are very good AHL players who's game is offence but lack some foot speed so they are questionable if they can do anything in the NHL. I guess the difference is Marody is a center. Benson has played 29 games and still not really producing much and if you look at his icetime on his game logs, I don't think it's changed much since Woodcroft took over and Woody was the guy who coached him when he turned pro. So if you can't get icetime from the coach that should know what you can do really well, that probably isn't a good sign. So maybe swapping Marody for Benson might be time.

Marody, Griffith and Holloway are the ones I'd look at. Griffith played well and got a point in his only shot so far.

I think it's actually funny that the Oilers looked at the farm team, where regular observers said that Holloway was generating chances that Malone and Sceviour were unable to finish on, and we decided the guys we needed back at the NHL level to replace Nuge and Puljujarvi were the two plugs.

Holloway may not be ready. But we know what Brad Malone is, and he's not going to add much. I would play Sceviour over Shore, but that's faint praise. We have three options who've been able to show some success and who have some hope of bringing offence up with them. I'm sick of watching the Oilers bring up guys who they just hope can not get scored on and maybe land a hit or two.

My only concern about Holloway was just the lack of games. 1 yr off is a long time but if it looks like he's up to speed conditioning wise, why not give him a look. Sometimes just having a super fired up young guy can give the rest of the team a boost.

Holloway for sure.. at least he's a scoring threat.. maybe Griffiths as well.. I heard he can skate, and is relatively tenacious.. which this team needs by the truckload.
And Sammy on the backend.. lets see what we got there.
The only forward on the team other than LD, McD, and Hyman that you can even remotely call tenacious is Kane.. and he isn't even a product of the organization.. bad player evaluation for this franchise continues to haunt it.

McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!!

I agree. I think they need to get more guys that can skate and get in on the forecheck.

If they are bringing Marody and Holloway up, I would send Benson down for sure for the reasons I said above. If you bringing up Griffin as well, make a decision between Shore, Malone and Scevious as too which one of the 3 brings it the most. To me they are similar players. Limited offensively, meh defensively. I think Malone is the biggest and most physical of the 3. I think all 3 can play from center or wing. So pick the guy that is the hungriest.

Well to put a positive spin on life here in Oiler-Ville.. there's other contending teams that are getting beat by bottom feeders as well as the Oil.. the parity in the league on a single game basis is pretty close.. no 2 pts is ever a gimmee.

Tonight;
Flyers beat Vegas 2-1
NJ beats Avs 5-3
Ott leading Blues 3-1 late in 3rd
Chi clobbering Ducks 7-3 in the second
Minni beating NYR 5-2 middle of 3rd..
Winni beating TB 5-3 late 3rd

Bring up Holloway, put him up with McD..

I saw an extremely undermanned due to injury/illness team lose to a very good but completely healthy team with a goalie that will be in the top 3 in vezina voting.

At forward, the Oilers had:
Shore - 10:29 - 1:11 PK - 2 shots, 1 hit
Malone - 8:07 - 1:53 PK - 3 shots, 0 hits
Benson - 6:37 - 0 shots, 1 hit
Sceviour - 5:20 - 0 shots, 1 hit

This isn't a Benson basing post so people can relax and put down your pitch forks for me. All of those players are not full time NHLers either right now or ever. The 3 vets are guys who can maybe be your 13th forward but during a season they aren't in your line up night after night. Benson who knows. Maybe he turns into something but right now, he's still working on finding his way. In my opinion, a team can have 1 of those type of players in their line up every night and be fine, you can't have 4 at once. When you are playing 4 of them due to injury, that forces your coach to play the crap out of the other 8 guys to compensate and your better players get worn down and tired.

When healthy, Nuge is in, JP is in. The contract isn't good but Kassian is a better player and is in over all of them. Taking the money issue out of it, Kassian is on the team before any of them on any NHL team. Archibald and all the issues with vaccine doesn't change the fact if he was available, he would be in over every guy on that list because he's better and that would be the same for every NHL team.

One defense, the Oilers had to play:
Niemelainen - 10:39 - 0.30 PK
Lagesson - 10:59 - 0.42 PK
Broberg - 22:34 - 2:43 PP, 2:09 PK.

Niemelainen, I like the player, I think there is a something there but he's not a full time NHLer yet. Lagesson, I am not a fan of because I don't see a dimension but I see him as at best a #7. Broberg has played excellent the last 2 games. I think he will be a good one but he's 20, he's not ready for full time NHL yet.. They were missing Barrie, Bouchard, Russell. When healthy, I think all 3 are in over the 3 above because warts and all, they are better players right now. I thought Niemelainen and Lagesson struggled a lot and their ice time shows they did which means you play the crap out the 4 guys that are decent and one of them is 20 who will make mistakes.

What I said doesn't change that the team make up has issues but when you have to play 6-7 guys who are either not NHLers yet at all, might never be NHLers again or are rookies learning on the fly, you won't win against too many teams.

There is a bit of cause and effect for sure here with the circle of trust in the 4th liners, you like to get more out of the 4th line, plus players out of the lineup against a healthy team.....but it remains that in the biggest game of the season, Leon Draisatl with 1 shot in 24 min TOI, including probably at least 7-8 minutes on the abysmal 5 PP opportunities. Connor with 3 shots in big minutes, 5 PP opportunities, and 5v5 loaded up line in a big game, pretty invisible by the established standard. Yamamoto, zeros across the board. Foegele no shots, no hits. McCleod zero shots. Hyman no hits, a big part of why he's there is physicality on the forechceck and being a puck hound, zone retrievals. The top 6 didn't have a good night, Kane was engaged a bit more than others.

This was a special teams loss more than anything if the rest of the game is played tight. One PPG against. On the PP, no threat from the point. Lots of high turnovers, half board turnovers, static outside Connor circling the wagons. The PP gave up more chances than it generated. Without Nuge, the only guy really willing with the puck in the zone to move things around is Connor, and even he was forcing things to static targets and turning pucks over. Leon when he's got the puck is usually static, looking to pass to Connor or 3 other guys who aren't moving. I'd like to see him venture up high or around the net with possession to get the lanes & seams moving because he can make a pass, the way it is he's gotta be really easy to isolate and force for a penalty killer if he's got the puck and is nearly motionless.

Also, Koskinen wasn't terrible but the one or two extra stops that Calgary got certainly factors into the complexion of the game. Calgary was able to even out their minute distribution more because they led most of the game. They played their system, lots of hits and lots of blocks.

This team moreso when healthy is capable of the run required, if they support their own zone on puck retrievals and exits and mitigate their chances against. They still have game breakers who can be the difference. What happens in their zone is critical to support inexperienced D. They can add a goal in 4 PP opportunities if they try some creativity on the PP and stop giving up chances against by forcing pucks to static targets through killers' sticks . It's on the guys who dress, Holland has painted himself into a corner and isn't going to rescue the team with a starter or a RH D. It doesn't happen if they don't play consistently responsibly in and exiting their zone, to a man.

I don't agree with your comment about the reason Calgary was able to even out their minutes was because they had the lead.
Here is who the a completely health Flames team played at forward last night:
Backlund, Gaudreau, Lucic, Tkachuk, Colemen, Lewis, Monahan, Lindholm, Dube, Toffoli, Mangiapane, Ruzicka.
Every player except maybe Ruzicka would play on any NHL team today.

Who's a lock out these 4 to be on every NHL team? Shore, Malone, Sceviour, Benson.

So the Flames had Ruzicka in the line up as the only unknown and he played 8 mins. So pick one out of the 4 Oilers I listed to counteract Ruzicka as debatable guys. The Oilers had 3 more.

So let's have Ruzicka and Benson on par as 2 guys who are young, working on being NHLers.

Nuge is out. He's a solid top 9 player that plays center or wing. So for the Flames, take out Backlund and replace his spot on the roster with their version of Malone who's can play a NHL game if needed but not a lot.

JP is a young but good top 9 player. So to be fair, take out Colemen from the Flames and replace them with their version of Sceviour who's a guy like Malone.

Kassian is an overpaid player but he's a legit bottom 6 guy that plays on any NHL team. Lucic is the same. Overpaid but is a legit bottom 6 guy on any NHL team. Take out Lucic for the Flames and slide in their version of Shore.

So what do you want to bet that if the Flames were having the play non NHlers like the Oilers are, the mins of their top guy regardless if they had the lead or not would be way up? What do you want to bet that if the Flames were playing 3 non full time NHLers on top of Ruzicka, their wouldn't be rolling along like they are?

I didn't even get to the defense. Take out 3 NHL regulars from the Flames and put in Valamaki, and 2 others from their AHL team and what do you want to bet that the mins for the vets would be WAY up and their wouldn't be rolling along.

I am not happy with all of the moves that the GM has made. There have been some mistakes. But replacing 7 NHLers at once is next to impossible. No team is that deep.

I gotta agree... and u didn't even mention the goaltending. To me, Markstrom would have stopped that 2nd goal.
So as I see it... the players left on this team are not giving up. It is a matter of injury and goaltending.
The question is always...Why is the supporting cast for 97/29 still a work in progress into year 6(?) of McD's contract? I'm going to point the finger at the last two GMs and Coaches... Chiarelli and Holland have made crippleing decisions over their terms. Continually overpaying for players long past their primes has put the team in a continual CAP limit hell. Holland's inability to improve goaltending should be a fire-me situation at the end of this season. McLellan and Tippett failed to utilize their younger players in any meaningful way that would promote their developement.

Although it's a mystery why the PP has fallen off a cliff (who knew the NUGE would be missed so much?)... I still think this team, when healthy, is a playoff team. Even with the current goaltending. Now it is a matter of if they can get healthy enough in time to prove it.

...this time, it's for real (isn't it?).

Not always the goalie!

Coffey was rumoured to be sleeping with Sather's wife as one of the reasons things soured here (not true - it was a contract negotiation that soured when Pocklington called Coffey named in the media. Crazy thing is that the delta in the negotiating positions was something like $40K per year at that point.)

Lindros was rumoured to have slept with Rod Brind'Amour's wife leading to a dressing room dust-up and Brind'Amour's trade away from Philly (I've seen nothing to suggest this is true).

Gary Leeman is rumoured to have been sleeping with Al Iafrate's wife. I've heard from multiple places that this one actually is true.

Brendan Shanahan is married to Craig Janney's ex-wife and there are rumours that they were first hooking up while she was married to Janney and they were both playing in St. Louis.

I'll grant you, there's definitely some goalie rumours too - Ted Nolan with Hasek's wife, Comrie with Salo's wife - although I've seen both of those firmly debunked. Comrie himself commented on the Salo story and said it's ridiculous and didn't happen. Said that Salo came to his going away party with the Oilers as part of his evidence that that was all fiction.

I think most of the time this stuff is just stupid rumours. Something happens behind the scenes and people come up with the most salacious rumours possible. How many pregnant women was Pronger supposed to have left behind in Edmonton? Although it's definitely happened a few times. Not just in hockey too...the song Layla suddenly comes to mind...

In Vancouver it was Jeff Brown and Kirk McLeans wife.. but the one I heard about Salo's wife was with Jason Arnott.. I dispelled that one though when I went saw Salo and his wife at a restaurant once.. hmm.. seemed unlikely :) .. I'm sure there was another one about a goalie's wife as well.. can't remember.. after about 3 rumours I began to think its some kind of urban myth about goalie wives..

I could see Iafrate's wife hooking up with someone other than Iarate though.. not exactly a looker was Al, especially him sporting the "skillet"

Layla.. when asked when asked who was the love of her life, she picked George..

This seems really unlikely since Arnott was already gone (traded in January 1998) before Salo ever joined the Oilers (March 1999).

Sometimes its the goalie himself doing the cheating…

Martin Brodeur with the weirdest of them all.

Brodeur married Melanie Dubois (a native of Saint-Liboire, Quebec) in August 1995 with whom he has four children:[17] Anthony, born in 1995; twin sons, William and Jeremy, born in 1996; and Anabelle Antoinette, 2002. Melanie filed for divorce during the 2003 playoffs amid reports that Brodeur was having an affair with Genevieve Nault, the wife of Melanie's brother.[122] The incident was referred to by opposing fans during the playoffs.[123] The reports proved to be true, as he and Genevieve married in June 2008.[124] Their first child together, Maxime Philippe Brodeur, was born in November 2009.[125]

but the one I heard about Salo's wife was with Jason Arnott..

This seems really unlikely since Arnott was already gone (traded in January 1998) before Salo ever joined the Oilers (March 1999).

.. who was the goalie when Arnott was there? .. must've been his wife :)

I'm 90% sure the rumor was Salo and Comrie. Maybe 74% sure.

Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

Absolutely was Comrie that was the rumour:

Quote:

It was 2003 when the rumor came out that Mike Comrie was sleeping with the wife of veteran goaltender Tommy Salo. Of course, Comrie profusely denied the rumor after he chose not to comment at first. "I should have said something right away. I didn't think it would have the legs it did. Everyone thinks it happened but it's the most ridiculous rumor. It's not true.” The signs however say otherwise.

Salo’s play in 2003 got worse and worse, and although he never took any blame for his horrid play, many thought it had a lot to do with his wife and child moving back to Sweden after a possible affair with Comrie. As for Comrie, contract negotiations with the Oilers turned sour into the 2003-04 season, many believing that the alleged affair being the reason.

I trust Comrie here over the salacious rumour rag.

I'm disappointed. I think you really should have said "I'm 89% sure the rumor was Salo and Comrie. Maybe 91% sure."
