Popular Post The Duke Posted May 5 Popular Post Share Posted May 5 The Oilers just seem super volatile to me. Their top end is undeniable… but even with improved structure, their D beyond Ekholm and goaltending are huge wild cards. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing I see, I think this is going to be a long series, but Vancouver has better defense and better overall depth. Somebody pass Pettersson the smelling salts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silovs ceiling is way higher than Casey. DeSmith is an experienced career back up who probably has a higher floor than Silovs, since he's so young. But i agree, Arty is dialed in, it would be silly not to play him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody pass Pettersson the smelling salts! Can Mikheyev show up this series. We need his speed. I'd maybe even move him to play with Lindy and Garland to give that line more speed against Mcdavid 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd maybe even move him to play with Lindy and Garland to give that line more speed against Mcdavid Ya that's not a bad idea. Put Joshua with EP40 and Hoglander to give them some size and truculence. We need Mikheyev to start scoring some goals. He's done it in the past. Hopefully he can turn up and give us a good series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would put PDG on Petey's line though. Can't remember if they've been together before and if so, was there chemistry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe on a short leash if he poops the bed in the first period. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone are the days of having someone who can just play that role. Juulsen could earn hero status... so could Podz, MDG or Lafferty even Myers, although I'd hate to lose him for part of the playoffs. Still think it would be a good trade off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other trades if you suck at your job your gone. There needs to be consistency. The stripes shouldn't be the stars of the show. And it should be regular season and play offs. It can be frustrating. As soon as my team bows out so do I. To many inconsistencies for me to put up with, for me to want to support anything other than the team I love No arguments from me on that one King. It is so frustrating so see the same year after year... Some refs call it like the regular season, and some put the whistles away. But its when they start to mix it up during the game it gats frustrating. it is, what it is... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their top end is undeniable… but even with improved structure, their D beyond Ekholm and goaltending are huge wild cards. They are volatile, their special teams in the first round make them even more unpredictable. I think their PK was what.. 12/12 while their powerplay went 9/20? I'd be surprised if the Oil don't get their share of powerplays, this series will probably be more open than our series against Nashville, or their series against LA. Goaltending is a wildcard for both clubs imo, neither DeSmith or Silovs are Demko, and Skinner has shown he can be both shaky and lights out. Silovs has looked very good but he's still inexperienced at the NHL level, either tender stumbling could be the difference maker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
