Minnesota Lines?
 

Anybody know the lines against Minnesota tonight?

Willie(plugger) Mitchell-plugger
plugger-Nick(I don't wanna be a plugger) Schultz
plugger-plugger

Dwayne (used to be a plugger) Roloson
plugger in place of Manny (really not a plugger) Fernandez, possibly,
Dieter (ultimate plugger) Kochan

With this being the 4th of 7 regular season contests I'm pretty sure that all the guys on the bubble will be in the lineup and that this is the make or break game of the pre-season.

Guys on their way to Toronto will be let go so that they can get into the groove down there and hopefully the last three p-s games will see the Oilers "a" team on the ice gaining chemistry.

Minnesota lines directly stolen from Ceber(thank you):

Both local papers have this, so I'm assuming it's somewhat accurate.

forwards
Johnson, Dowd, Dan Cavanaugh
Bouchard, Zholtok, Daigle
Park, Wallin, Brandner
Antti, Darby, Mika Hannula
defensemen
Mitchell, Bombardir

Zyuzin, Roche
Zbynek Michalek/Schultz, Brad Brown (the papers disagree on Schultz & Michalek)

Roloson starts in goal, apparently.

I really wish I could see this one, lines look interesting. Anyone know if Edmonton will have radio streaming anywhere? It's on KCCO again in town.. I'd rather not have to sit in the car.

A quote from the startrib:
These pairings mean Lemaire wants to take a hard look at Daigle and Brandner. "You put them with the best players, and you know how good they are," he said. "That's how it works."

(So, what does that say about Park and Wallin? Good thing I don't have press credentials.. Lemaire would get sick of my questions pretty quickly.)

lol :joker: :bow: :lol:

Thanks for the Wild lines, but I was talking about the Oilers' lines. Anybody know those?

All i know Smyth is not playing and York has a good chance of playing tonight.

I won't know until i get to the rink and they hand me the line up sheets. Sorry.

What ive gathered from the radio

rita sarno salmo
torres stoll wright
chimera horcoff york
moreau reasoner pisani

semenov - smith
ferguson - cross
luoma - bergeron

Makes sense, I think the final cuts are coming tonight.

I think Allen and Salmo are gone tonight and after the next preseason game the final cuts will be made.
