I thought Bennett and Versteeg looked pretty good, but sadly Brouwer killed every play he was in on, so get Jagr in there and Brouwer out and we might have a really good line! So far Tanner Glass is making a decent impression as well. I thought the fourth line seemed to have some good chemistry and I really want to see Hathaway stay with the big team, but of course Brouwer will slot in as RW instead of Hathaway next game and then we no longer have a good fourth line.
Get Matt Bartkowski away from the ice immediately! All I saw from him was blind passes up the board and him getting stuck in his own zone for long stretches.
Also, I wonder what the Oilers would look like without McDavid, there was not one single Oiler forward outside of McDavids line except maybe for Kassian who was noticable tonight.

How can you invest a paragraph in bashing Bartkowski, yet not utter Brodie even once? I'll take 13 mins of meh Bartkowski any day over 23 mins of the Brodie we saw out there.
