It's just one game, but is there anything impressive about that blue line at all? Jake McCabe and Ristolainen look like the only mainstays back there, the other 4 (I have never been a Kulikov fan, watched a ton of him) should be replaced, or bumped down a pair.

this d will need a lot of help from the forward group and they'll need smart plays in the offensive zone...case in point...Franson needs to get that shot through on Thursday...it was blocked, the Habs had an odd-man rush the other way...Moulson didn't backcheck hard enough and montreal takes a 2-0 lead

He'd Be our fastest player now hope he stays

Gerbe?

Not going to win many games puting up 1 goal.against a backup goalie.
I havent read anything about taking Moulson to task on the 2nd goal in which he backchecked nicely until the critical area between the circles...let his guy go, bang goal. Looked very much like Cody Hodgson.

honestly, I would put reinhart on the second line with ennis and fasching


role them as 1 a and 1 b


then role the 3rd and 4th lines evenly, around 13 minutes a night and try to play a more up tempo game

they score

we dont


if the game was in buffalo I would say 5-2 oilers


oilers got 3 goals from special teams, flames none in a 5-3 win last night'
preds got 3 pp goals in a 3-2 win over the hawks last night

of course special teams don't matter much

He'd Be our fastest player now hope he stays

fasching, bailey and nylander all have decent wheels, and carrier has improved which is rare

we call up slow baptiste instead of bailey or nylander

very mind numbing

They like to reward scoring in the AHL it seems. Baptiste scored one off a steal last night I believe. Nylander I can understand as I'd rather give him 9 games later into the year, but yeah Bailey should be the guy to call.

The last two games Oilers had like 10 breakaways I can't believe how fast that team is

Your man crush on Draisatl is real.

He had a massive hot stretch last year, and then he cooled off big time.

He too needs to show more consistency.

I didn't get that from scouting reports

I find it hard to believe he is faster than nylander
