An extra day off before we do back-2-back games. During this time, we should do our dance lessons.

What is the time line for Frederic's return? Because these forward pairings have gone beyond stale. Knob needs to try something else.

I just came inside from doing some errands today and my fingers were so cold that they ached after they warmed up. It's March 12. I'm turning 30 in 3 weeks. The Oilers are playing like shit. I am not happy.
 
Bah.

He ain’t getting them better in areas they lack.

I like the player and I hope he has a role on the club next season, but he’s kind of a dime a dozen player frankly.
Yeah, he may eventually grow into a 4C role but he got schooled in own zone faceoffs, and you don't want a rookie there in the postseason against savvy vets.

I wonder if Nuge may end up taking that own zonestart faceoff role in the playoffs (from the third line) since I don't see anyone else on the roster who can do it, and Ryan doesn't look like hes an option anymore based on his AHL play.

To what end?

It probably is better that he play high minutes in the AHL versus getting 8-9 minutes with the big club. Either way, he’s not moving any dial for what ails this group.

We don't have another possible 4C. Kapenen and Ryan aren't it. Need to get him in to see if he's an option or not and get him some reps.

Not just getting a 4C was another needless and dumb decision by this management team. This hole could have been filled for a low draft pick, but instead we have to roll the dice between an undersized 100 year old, a shitty winger playing C, or a rookie with zero experience.

You aren’t wrong. Respectfully, I cant even debate this. But it’s so far down the “what needs to be better” list at this point.

It’s like a house sliding off a cliff and its foundation, and the homeowner says hey, we really should re-paint the living room.
