Tom Gazzola ‏Verified account @TomGazzola 2m2 minutes ago Lucic - McDavid - Rattie. Rieder - Draisaitl - Chiasson. Khaira - RNH - Kassian. Cave - Brodziak - Puljujarvi. Klefbom - Larsson. Nurse - Russell. Manning - Benning. Sekera - Petrovic. Practicing now on the 4th pair, Klefbom also back. Here's the sad thing. People are freaking out about that lineup, and you make three flips, and it's probably the best lineup they can ice: Flip Lucic and Cave. Flip Cave and RNH. Flip Puljujarvi and Kassian. That's the best this group can do, IMO. And flip Sekera and Manning when the time is right. This^^^^ At the moment, and really Cave/Malone likely interchangeable. Though recency has taught us that these lines will only last 5 minutes. *Though about the lines in practice... *showcasing* Lucic?? We’re going to look back at this season in a few years and have a really hard time remember a lot of these players. You sure? They're all pretty memorable... Guy MGMT SWOONED over for years - Connor - Preseason Art Ross Boy Guy we drafted who scored on us, never for us - Leon - Secondary Scoring The big brown guy Hitchcock loved - Nuge - Kass The Chia Killer - Twice Oiler Brodz - Prospect 198 that didn't pan out Oscargasm's mascot - The guy we traded Taylor Hall for (aka: one for one) Kia's Brother (aka: Donovan McNabb's Nephew) - Shot blocking analytic nightmare Guy who cost Connor the Calder (aka: Collarbone assassin) - Jim's Nephew Reggie, our latest Lubo experiment - YEG native who's fav team was the Dallas Stars Now you won't forget any of them

Nice.

Although, I think "The big brown guy Hitchcock loved" might be too vague.

Was thinking of hitch's view of his Lines.

Guy that shows up once a year - McDavid - Guy with excessively long sideburns
Guy who has yet to show up - Draisaitl - guy that was really good for a month over a month ago
Guy that shows up once every 3 weeks - RNH - Guy that shows up once every month
Guy - Brodziak - Guy that's making me look bad
My only hope - Broken back guy
God among men - demigod among men
ugh - brainfarter
handsom fella - mediocre cycle stopper
