They're playing great and we're on our 3rd in 4 nights. This feels like a scheduled loss to me, hopefully I'm wrong.

When you hear all those crickets at night, it's mother nature having a giant orgy
Why are we so abysmal defending home ice? Rogers Place isn't their fav rink to play in or something?
*double checked the stats and the Coliseum has a little worse record but the decade of darkness definitely messed with those stats! This year the Oilers are bad at home but maybe this game changes that around! Should be a good game

Coming back from the eastern road trip with a few guys banged up. They’d have played 6 games in 10 days. This all adds up to one thing..
An Oilers victory.

My guess for the line up tonight.
Podkolzin - McDavid - Draisailt
Skinner - Nuge - Perry/Kapanen
Janmark - Henrique - Brown
Caggiula - Ryan - Kapanen/Ryan
Ekholm - Bouchard
Kulak - Emberson
Dermott - Stetcher
Skinner/Pickard
I don't know who starts.
I assume Hyman and Arvidsson are out tonight.

Feels like a scheduled loss against a team we barely ever beat lol. In before Boldy scores.
A loss is probable. Boredom is a certainty.

If that many holes in the forward corps, would have loved to see Philp get the opportunity.

Seeing Kaprizov on TV is one thing. Seeing him live is another
The stuff he does away from the puck might be more impressive tbh. He's just on another level

Getting a little worried about Arviddson at this point. Seems like a walking bandaid kind of like some predicted
Hopefully Hyman not out too long and its a bit of a mental reset for him
Might be good to have some new energy in the lineup. We suck against Minn anyway
Hopefully Eriksson Ek and Boldy are hungover and not able to dominate us

Then why hasn't stacking the top line worked the last 200 times we tried it?
The kid hasn't played hockey in a full calendar year, the Oilers were pretty clear that they want him to consistently play 20+ minutes a night in the AHL instead of ping-ponging back and forth to the NHL and playing 8-10 minutes a night while he's here. He'll get the call sometime in 2025, and when he does he's not going back.
Actually it’s 3 top 6 forwards with Kane out.
Going to need another yeomans performance from the 2 big guns tonight.
Didn’t we win last game stacking the line?
Or did you already forget since there was nothing to complain about

You're right, we did win that game.
Yet somehow this is never a long term solution when the rest of the lineup cannot score.

Top line stack seems reasonable given all the talented support forwards are out of the lineup.
Gonna need 29 & 97 to combine for 6+ points to have any shot in this game either way so may as well make it easier on them.

That's fair, he's small but very aggressive, this kind of thing happens. I think, even if he was close, they can stretch it out to give him a long rest.
They want him for the long haul, so if they brought him back still nicked up it could end up worse. If he doesn't come back after the little break, I'll be very concerned.

Fair enough, he just seems distinctly more equipped to play and contribute than Derek Ryan at present.

I’m optimistic tonight. We’re down some forwards that for whatever reason have been struggling to produce this year. Maybe injected fresh new blood into the lineup will help.

Yeah, but no. He's playing great hockey in the AHL, he should be up, but if you think you'll use Philp in the bottom-6, fine, then recall Savoie. Caggiula is silly.
