Pre-Game Talk: Oil vs Rat - The Sequel

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

When Brown comes back, where do you stick him?

JSkins comes out, or Arvy. Reunite Kane, Henrique, Brown to go up against their 3rd line.

Prefer Arvy to come out over Skinner. Going to need deeper goalscoring punch vs Bob. Brown more than replaces what Arvy brings.

 

[Captain Controversy]

I’ll call out anybody who calls Bouchard an ECHL dman. What a f***ing tool that guy is, typical Canucks trash fan

Don't let the trolls get to you. Bouchard is #2 all time in the post season my man.

I agree with Ard, for some reason I wasn't even thinking of him.

 

[Sheikyerbouti]

Frederic needs to amp up his physicality...he plays smaller than he is....

Frederic can't heal while playing. His reputation has always been that compete makes him 2 feet taller, so you are definitely mistaking the injury for the player.

Consider this instead: he's playing with a high ankle sprain, has played less than 20 games on a new team, and the coach is still picking him for key situations at the end of games (during the semi finals).

When Brown comes back, where do you stick him?

1 in the surf, 2 in the turf?

If anyone wants a fun read, I suggest looking at the Oilers/Kings thread after game 2 on the mains. Lots of takes that have aged just horribly.

It’s a toss up between Jeff and RV for me. Frederic is here for series like this. Also he’s close friends with Tkachuk, can’t have him sitting out of these games. It’s really too bad he wasn’t fully healthy when we got him but considering he’s playing hurt I think he’s playing decent.

If Arvy comes out, whos gonna be winding up for a one timer every shift though.

 

[UpHere]

I dunno, the fight that Arvidsson showed on the boards was well worth another look - for a little guy he was engaged - this is a good problem to have

Amen brother.

Will we get banned if we reply to a few? lol

Just realized we can't. Too bad

 

[Coffey]

Don’t worry guys, I’m fighting every Finn I see on the mains. I know how euros argue, it’s like a literal 12 year old and I feel that I can win.

That poster will report you like the coward he is lmao.
He's already in the finals thread regarding both teams defense, and to nobody surprise, he labels Bouchard as the worse of all like he did in the kings, vgk, and stars series. Such a miserable life that poster has to log on HF and act that way. Must have nothing to do in BC, typical nuck trash.

Oops I wasn;t supposed to tag him. That was leftover from a previous post I did not post lol

Lmao what a deranged group of people

What a gut wrenching feeling that must have been. I’m sure he’s played it over in his mind 1,000 times, how he never wants to feel that way again. He’s beyond motivated, as are all the boys. Can’t wait for this series to begin.

Yup, I think they go with the LIFO on this, and Skinner comes out. Makes the most sense based on the opponent. But he will likely get his chance at playing at some point.

I would put Brown on McDavids line and shift Perry down.

A very good lesson to those who count their chickens after 2 games. How many of them will look back and learn anything from it? Nah, they're probably blaming someone else.

 

[KCC]

That was my thought process as well but I guess we will see.

 

[Greatzsky 99]

i hope they make a physical statement in gm1, somehow
overwhelm panthers, i think oilers got 1 level more
in them, they could sweep the rats!!

the whole team seem totally locked in and willing to suffer
whatever it costs to win, it could be the difference maker,
the rats has already won 1 time, are they willing to suffer
as much as the oilers are? i dont think they are.

i hope kane goes agter matthew hard first game, take a fight from the start

its been a long time since i wanted a team win something so bad
for McDavid Drai rest of oilers team, the org, the fans, the city and
BEN

 

[syz]

I dunno, the fight that Arvidsson showed on the boards was well worth another look - for a little guy he was engaged - this is a good problem to have

He had an xGF of 98% in game 5. Florida's one weakness up front is their 4th line. Podkolzin-Janmark-Arvidsson 4th line would likely destroy a 4th line matchup. If nothing else, they shouldn't get scored on.

 

[Pucklington]

I think Brown for Frederick would be a better trade. But no 2nd round pick this time

Don't see it. Knobber likes size on every line.
