Neal - McD- Ennis - I assume they will flip since Neal likes the right.
RNH - Drai - Yamo
Ach - Shea - Kass
AA - Khaira - Chia
I don't mind the lines as I don't think you can have 2 small players on McD's wing.

Nice that you have that option though as Archi seems to fit almost wherever he is played. Best looking forward group this team has seen for a long time. Hope they can bring some energy tonight and put some more space between them and the teams chasing them. Must win goes almost without saying.Keep the winning streak going!

Sounds like Smith got banged up a bit today.

Listening to Stauffer's show. Took a K.Russell shot in a bad spot. Stung a bit but he's fine and ready to go.
I am looking forward to when Klef is back to see what happens. I assume it's either Jones or Russell. My guess is the vet gets the nod but Tippett doesn't seem to be one to always go with the norm in my opinion.

I told you we should have traded Russell away last summer!
FWIW, I think it's even money that it's Russell who comes out. He's not supplanted Jones on that pairing with Larsson and Jones has been getting the TOI push over Russell. That should be a tell as to who the coach trusts more.
|
As much as I don't like Russell's contract, he IS an NHL Dman. IF we do make the playoffs, we are bound to have some guys banged up, and it's nice that we will have at least a couple of options to step in if needed.

I totally agree. The Oilers have to in my opinion get rid of one of Sekera or Russell this past offseason. In order to improve the defense, one had to go just to free up a spot. I don't think they could have gotten rid of both. I think now with the emergence of Bear and Jones playing well, they can afford to dump Russell this offenses.
