So for what it's worth, Oilers starter Cam Talbot is out with an illness (flu?) so AHL starter Laurent Brossoit gets the nod tonight...

Good. The jets will lose 6-5. At least it will be entertaining. 

             

 

Still weird that Maurice split up Ehlers-Scheif-Perrault and Trouba-Buff...  don't get it

And with only 10 min playing time and non against the Bruins PP is Stuart in Maurice's dog house?

I hope so ...

McWho? So far anyway ...

Nice road win despite the crappy shorty goal by the Oilers. Pavs looks like he's picked up where he left off late last season.

Curse you Pavelec!!!

Woo. Jets barely beat the worst team in the league. Pav was ok. Oilers maybe had 5 quality shots on goal. Listening to the announcers verbally jets off McDavid all night was annoying and him being stopped to lose the game was pretty nice. Cbc announcers were almost crying.

I haven't seen Stuart on the PK as much as usual...is this why the PK seems to have improved?

Undoubtedly ...

No. It's never just 1 guy and stu did have pk time. They are just more aggressive. They played a passive box b4... now they play a more aggressive one. 

The less Stu, the better...

Stu had 2 minutes and 3 seconds of pk time. Same as trouba 

That's a lot less than he used to get..........the less the better.

Ship him out with Ladd.

Trouba can't seem to stay on his feet lately ... not really making a point just an observation.

Supposedly really bad ice in Deadmonton last night...

That's strange, Rexall is usually noted for the best ice in the league. I don't think it's the ice that ails Trouba of late.

I almost started a thread on Trouba a couple of hours ago. I'm okay with giving him a two year bridge and seeing how he turns out.

He doesn't hold a lot of leverage. Two year bridge for 3.75m and 4.25m. Same for Scheifele and then 1.9m and 2.1m for Lowry, 900k for Hutch and 2m per year for two years for Armia.

Armia is a keeper. Don't get all this criticism for the guy. Too high expectations for him at this point.

Criticism?

2 million for Lowry seems like a million 2 much. 

Armia is one of the brightest (potential) of the young ones IMO. He is big, fast and has a sick pair of hands. Just needs some seasoning. In a year or two we can laugh at Buffalo for sending him to us as a throw in for Kane ...

Armia is playing like you'd expect a mid 1st rounder. He has skill and if you watch, you can see his potential.

Just because he isn't lighting it up now does not mean he isn't good or won't be good.

Good thing some posters on here aren't talent scouts.

Armia has tons of potential and would probably be putting up better numbers if he was playing with a Center who has the ability to score. 

Lowry quite frankly should be on the 4th line as a winger. However since Maurice is dating Lowry and won't do that.... 

Here's what I'd do 

Ehlers Little Wheeler 

Perreault Scheif Armia 

Ladd Lowry Stafford 

Thorburn Copp Burmi 

Stafford isn't good enough defensively to be on the 2nd line. Imo he's actually dragging Perreault and Scheif down right now
