Jack Michaels saying the lines are:
Nuge - McD - JP
Kahun - Leon - Yamo
Neal - Turris - Kassian
Archie - Khaira - P.Russell

Nurse - bear
K. Russell - Barrie
Jones - Larsson

That 4th line sucks. Having P. Russel AND Khaira means you are getting ZERO chance of offense. Haas can't get back fast enough.

I am OK to get Jones back in there but I am a little surprised they took out Koekkoek to do it. I thought he's been decent most games.


Tippet turned up the suck AND the Must with this lineup. Woof.


Don't understand this lineup.

Larsson and Jones will get caved by WPG, Larsson too slow, Jones too weak

P Russell Kharira will be a major weak link against a strong forechecking team like WPG, all we can hope for is they aren't a minus with the 6 minutes of ice time they'll get.




Dave Tippett man. It’s like he is throwing the game




exactly.. like you have 29 cards and you keep your jacks and throw in a few deuces

Relax. The Oilers won the first game, it's up to the Jets to earn the split.


......teams aren’t making the playoffs splitting series. You need to earn a series win.

You already had 1 ineffective Russell in your lineup, now you have 2 ineffective Russell’s in your lineup.

You say you need better puck movement from the back end, so you take out your best all around dman so far this year to put Jones back in, leaving Larson, Kowboy and Barrie in? You want better puck movers, sure put Jones in but you take out someone who isn’t a puck mover. It’s deck chairs on the titanic with this team.


Unfortunate if Bouchard isn't available. I wonder what the lineup looks like if he was healthy...

I do think they have to get Jones back in there. He had a tough start to the year, but he was generally pretty good last year. He's young and you're going to want him playing.

Koekkoek definitely had his roughest games the last couple out, although being saddled with a challenged Larsson is possibly a contributing factor. I don't have a huge issue with him coming out.

I will say, with this 4th line, I expect that we're going to get a game where they'll play really limited minutes and that by the third, unless we're way out front, it'll be three lines rolling.

I am excited to see Patrick Russell get one game closer to the record for longest streak to start his career with the Oilers without scoring a goal. I do think Tippett's love for the player is baffling. He works really hard...and gets nothing done. I don't think there's a value in that kind of player.

While he's much maligned here for what he could bring and teases sometimes, I prefer Khaira to Russell greatly because you know there's a possibility at least that he chips in.
