Tocchet said we can’t play with only 12 guys but I guess the Oilers are playing with only 2
There’s actually a route to essentially benching Pettersson and I don’t think it’s that ridiculous.
You’d go back to Blueger with Joshua and Garland, and then move Mikheyev up and put Podkolzin on that line.
Run Pettersson on a fourth line with Hoglander and PDG or whoever.
Now I definitely think there’s better solutions but Lindholm/Podz/Mikh looked good together and the other line is a known quantity.!
We're seeing on D - when Hughes is on the ice, we look great. When he's not, less so. Tocchet seems to have figured that out.
Up front I'd go:
Suter - Miller - Boeser
Hog - Petey - Garland
Joshua - Lindy - Pod
Meh-keyev - Blueger - Laff
Garland maybe the guy to get Petey going.
Hope we stick with Silovs next game vs panicking and going with DeSmith just to switch it up.
Burn the gym downWelp, all 4 Canucks loses come at the hands of me working out on those days. Time to scrap the gym and take one for the team until they the series comes out a win.
I’m in desperate need of a gym week off anyways.
Nah, you win with what got you here.
As bad as Pettersson has been, now is the time to overplay him. That way, whatever happens is on your franchise C. Give him the opportunity and it's up to him to seize it, or not.
Tocchet has called out his manhood in the presser, he didn’t signal him out by name but he knew what he was doing.

He was asked about Petey and responded that there were at least 5 guys who weren’t showing the will necessary to win in the playoff. And completed the comment by adding a few guys, including Petey needed to be better.
That’s not too short of a straight callout by name if it isn’t one.
I agree, for me….this is the Cup series
It sucks tonight because I know we had them in ot if it got there
That said, we have way more upside than the oilers to this point and the series is tied with us having home advantage
We can do this but we need a full team effort
And Kane to be suspended for the next game
He does control it because he could have put all the offenders on two lines and then only played 2.5 lines down the stretch.I love the blame Tocchet comments.
They actually almost stole this one and he's right too many passengers not stuck in.
Most of the blaming doesn't even make sense or eludes to him controlling the teams effort level?
And if Pettersson played like a 11.6m player and cole didn't score on us like 5 times we would've swept
Whats yours point bud
Hard to imagine getting a win here on out against a team firing on all cylinders
Ahh, yes. A team firing on all cylinders that barely managed to hold onto a lead, only went 1/2 on the powerplay and whose best player was kept off the score board.
We lost tonight because we showed up for one period and tried to cheat our way to yet another comeback. It finally caught up with us. Nothing about tonight was the Oilers firing on all cylinders.
The same can be said about the Canucks lolStill funny that Edmonton almost choked that one away. They can’t defend leads. That 4 minute power play was a killer, as well as Juulsen’s miscue. I think the boys come out fired up for game 5
Worth a try, it’s hard to breakup that third line but if it can get them skating and actually playing let’s see. The difference between game 3 and 4 is how they started out. Joshua laying the body early in game 3 really helped this game it was the Oilers starting out with really good puck possession.We're seeing on D - when Hughes is on the ice, we look great. When he's not, less so. Tocchet seems to have figured that out.
