You have Belanger playing both 3rd and 4th line . One thing that is correct Jones is scratched tonight.

They would give Belanger more ice time...


also i dont really like Gilbert-Whitney, both somewhat immobile coming off injuries.

prefer Smid-Gilbert, Whitney-Petry

Why would the coach separate PRV and Hemsky who started to show some chemistry against the Canucks? And why would he separate Hall from Eberle and put him with *******?

My thoughts exactly. We've been waiting 2 years to see something between Paajarvi and Hemsky, they finally show signs of figuring it out and are split immediately. Whatever.

Because of the wildcard coff!

We as Oilers fans should get t-shirts made that say The Coff

They are double shifting Belanger in order to validate/disprove the "Belanger Triangle" theory.

Separating Hemsky and PRV after they show some chemistry?
Double shifting Belanger?
Scrathing Jones (well this not so much)?

One of those Belangers must be Lander right? 3rd or 4th line?
Hopefully shaking up the lines works. I thought the lines we had were working okay, though.

Regulation win, please.

I don't think it will happen though. The Flames get up for the Oilers much more than the Oilers do for the Flames. That shouldn't be the case whatsoever, but it seems that way to me.


P.S. What the reason for scratching Jones? He's one of the few players out there who plays like he gives a damn.

I should have bought a couple of high percentage beers for this game to ensure I was out cold after the 1st.

Set he tone early. Play with emotion off the hop. Start the game with the 4th and play an in your face style of game and gain momentum. That's the kind of start we need.

Here's my fantasy forecast: Dubnyk gives up 3 goals on first 11 shots and gets the pull after 1. Danis comes in and stands on his head while spinning plates on his nutsack in the second to keep the Oil in it. Ebs gets a late goal. In the third period, it's all Oilers. They tie it up! They win!!

Ah, that was fun. Now I don't need to watch the actual game, which will probably be like a 6-1 loss or something.

GO REBUILD!!!!

Actually two triangles only make a square or rectangle.

Same. Moving Paajarvi away from Hemsky kind of sucks, but I think that seperating Hall and Ebs has been needed for a little while now. Those are the only two guys on our team that can consistantly generate an attack all on their own, and consolidating them on one line reduced our overall ability to attack IMO.

I was thinking more like 2 belangers + 4 wingers = 6 sides = hexagon lol.

You can never have enough scoring with Belanger playing on two lines. Play not to lose, right Ralph? Ralph? Right?
