Popular Post IBatch Posted January 24 Popular Post Share Posted January 24 (edited) 18 minutes ago, Tusk said: this is the weakest comment I have seen in a long time. Swap brock with who? Demmers? JT and Brock can adapt to Pizza man, HogΩ, Petey or whoever. Boeser doesnt get swapped unless its for Crosby. This wasn't what I was saying. Swap Brock from the JT Miller line, to play with EP. Instead of moving EP back to Kuzmenko, and Ilya Mikheyev, the post I was responding to, move Brock over to EP, and let Miller center Kuzmenko and Ilya M. And why is that weak? My main point is, Miller can do it with anyone, which he's already proved. Green's last season and Bruce's first. I don't personally think, it matters much whom he plays with. EP, apparently it does. So if they want to shake it up, shake it up. I still think that Millers the "line driver " and EPs the "game breaker". The Lotto line always ends up failing, and somehow, the dialogue has been that's on Miller. I don't think that's the case. The math adds up too. So why not give him, the "lesser players". And see how it goes. As fans, maybe we will finally know too. EPs not the first line. Millers and Brocks like have been all year so Millers line. That's who Tochett has tasked to play the best on best, right off the hop. If EP wants his 12, then go out and earn it. It's nice to have both for sure. And a one line team, as many people have already stated, isn't going to work. Tochett is a great coach. He's playing the keys like a master pianist. Why not do that?

Popular Post Chon derry Posted January 24 Popular Post Share Posted January 24 4 hours ago, Goal_thecup said: Yeah, the TV Jocks should have to repeat a caveat every time they gush over the FN Oil, something like: The Edmonton Oilers are unbeaten in their last 15 games, but they haven't had to face The Vancouver Canucks at all in that stretch. All hockey fans are therefore cautioned that, as always, listening to HNIC gush about an Edmonton Easy-Streak can be Extremely Hazardous to your Mental Health. Please keep your games PVR-ed and fast forward through their Endless Drivel, or you'll end up like Craig Simpson, a Long-Winded, Drooling, Simpering Fawn Boy: They wouldn’t gush about the oilers so much if the leafs weren’t sucking so bad. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyfan-observer Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Just two games left before the break - hope for a strong effort tonight from the good guys against an improving Blues team. Would like to see in the last couple of games - more scoring from the 2nd line + to continue solid D box-outs to keep vision lanes clear for Demko / Desmith as opponents seem to be driving a bit more nowadays. Seems that every team is putting their best foot forward against the Canucks - so we should try to match that effort. It would be nice to keep the points coming, given the Oilers don't appear letting up. Edited January 24 by hockeyfan-observer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ek is about 5M Would that work one for one? Ek hast been recorded as to like to play with Petie. He's a steady 20 plus goal scorer but also faceoffs are what we need. One for one or does one of us have to add something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF we keep Kuz.... and with Lekk & Podz in the pipe, it is a trade I'd do in a heartbeat. Boeser has definitely changed my opinion of him this year, but the move would give us solidify longterm depth at C, and allow room for growth in the top 6. In addition, Ek at 5.25m for 6years is ridiculously good value, and immediately opens up cap space for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets my vote. Hogz has been playing great for a long while. I think Hogz works with Miller/Boeser. Doesn’t help that we have 9 day break in between January 27 and February 6 games. I hate the all star game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just say swap EP and JT.... I mean thats what you are saying. And I think that could work because JT can for sure fix MIK and Kuz.

Goal_thecup Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Still first overall in the league in points with 68(!) and just barely second to Boston in %-age. Warning: Math: .723 - .728 = -.005 . Can't wait to see the baaaad tv jocks squirm, whimper, and moan as they become required to report on Canucks' Successes. They'll even try to look like they're talking Vancouver up, but we'll know differently: Rats are Rats even if they're Smiling Rats. Like Tony Gallagher trying to smile when the Canucks were winning; his face just wouldn't work properly! Squirm you rotten rats, squirm. We're #1. With a bullet. Oh, its going to be so good.. "Squirming rats on TV mom!" Squirming rats on tv: You know who you are. MacLean, Simpson, Hrudy-Toot; we know who you are; now squirm.
