Yeah if Hemmer is gone it just means lack of forward depth so he's in by default. Though I'm not so sure that's a bad thing...(frank) knows...would it be better to have Yak playing through this?

So what happens tonight?

Move Joensuu to the 4th and sit Brown/ Gazdic?
- Salvo

Have to think that's what happens.

"Coach Eakins says Yakupov will play tonight, Joensuu is going back to Edmonton to nurse an injury. Larsen to OKC, Ryan Jones recalled."

The main reason is Yak is playing poorly.
- Lahey

He's trying to do too much. He will settle down and catch fire. He's too good. Players go through slumps but eventually come around.

You got destroyed by Unclemuscle. Me.

But I hear you, with busy life and especially without $$$ involved it's easy to slip and not update rosters and check poop daily

I do it twice a week.

Eberle doesn't try to do it all himself from our hash marks.

That and the minute thing is such a load of BS. I did the comparison last week to Hertl and Galchenyuk. Yak was getting more time and primo PP time with great players and wasn't getting it done.

If he can't get it done on the PP with great players then it's all on him.

As bad as Eberle may or may not be, he still has 4 points in 6 games.
- Lahey

but when a player only gets pp time with out much really playing time then how that hell he's going to perform on the pp been cold,and why he try to do everything by himself is simple,the players he have been playing with so far dont help,and I think most of his bad play is due to frustration,yes he had his bad games,but lest remember what happen last season once He was put with players that had more skills then the current ones He was put to play this season so far.

People also seem to forget that Hall had similar treatment from coaches. Only difference was Hall even as crappy as he looked was still one of the best options. Can't say the same for Yak, this is a good thing though.

I do it twice a week.
- Lahey

Yeah when I have the time it takes like 15-20 to set a roster for the week but as I've quickly learned I have to tune in more then that for minor injuries and the like.

Ya. Just spaced out on it.

50 pages....

I wonder if RC is cluing into the fact that the hits were not due to him....

All of a sudden Matt and Ryan are the two most popular Oilers bloggers I the world...

He wasn't only getting PP time. He was getting 15 minutes a night. People complain about his linemates, yet crappy offensive guys like Smyth and Gordon are producing. Arco an unknown is producing as well. Will Acton and Gazdic have goals so does Joesnuu. It's the NHL and the team is trying to make the playoffs they aren't going to gift wrap minutes for him if he isn't doing anything with the time he is already getting.

I just want to see him play top minutes with linemates he had last season and then judge from there.

Well this is obviously false.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that this morning.

He needs to earn it first. Either that or he needs others to start playing worse than him.

Well this is obviously false.

What's up buddy?

You are (frank)ING right, sir!

I think there's some of that already.
