Glencross - Backlund - Byron
Bouma - Colborne - Raymond
Gaudreau - Monahan - Hudler
Bollig - Stajan - McGrattan/Jones/Setoguchi

That is what I would want to see tomorrow night.

It just seems like it would be impossible to get the puck away from them. The backchecking and forechecking from this line would also be awesome. Very high hockey IQ. Hope we get to see it sooner than later.
Backlund plays Johnny's game too. That cerebral type of game where they read plays rather than just crash the net or skate like mad backwards. They are both great at breaking up the opponents break out

I especially love the 'true fan vs not true fan' debate.

Priceless.

Pretty close to what I'd try. I'd mostly change Byron and Gaudreau around, which would look like this:

Glencross-Backlund-Gaudreau
Raymond-Colborne-Bouma
Hudler-Monahan-Byron

I think Baertchi complemented Monahan-Hudler nicely with his speed, I think Byron could do the same.

On the other hand, Glencross is an opportunistic scorer and Gaudreau can create surprising scoring chances. To me those guys might work together. Backlund is the balancing force there, who can both take part in the passing or shoot the puck himself.

EDIT:
Or put Gaudreau with Raymond, like this...
Glencross-Backlund-Bouma
Raymond-Colborne-Gaudreau
Byron-Monahan-Hudler

Backlund with Glencross has been tried many times over the last couple of seasons and it never works. For whatever reason.

I'd love to see:

Glencross-Monahan-Hudler
Gaudreau-Backlund-Byron
Bouma-Colborne-Raymond
Bollig-Stajan-McGrattan/Jones/Seto

Colborne-Raymond-Byron I don't think should be touched after last game. Colborne looks like he can handle Center #2

Backlund with Gaudreau on the third line would be sweet. Bouma would work for some size and someone to bounce shots off of.

You don't even have to make an account, just go to imgur.com, click upload at the top and that's it. You only need an account if you care about keeping track of images for future use.

you actually don't need an account on imgur, that's its best feature. Just hit upload, then it gives you a link to each image.

To be fair to Oiler fans though, the debate is mandated by management.

Tier 1 fans are true fans and everyone else is scum-sucking garbage.

Kevin Lowe said so.

The Gaudreau - Monahan - Hudler would be the best in my eyes. All play a IQ game and all 3 can finish. I've been wishing for this line since mid preseason when I drafted all 3 to my fantasy team.

I'd love to see:

Glencross-Monahan-Hudler
Gaudreau-Backlund-Byron
Bouma-Colborne-Raymond
Bollig-Stajan-McGrattan/Jones/Seto
For me this makes the most sense:

Gaudreau Monahan Hudler ---> Proven chemistry and high-end offence
Glencross Colborne Raymond ---> Colby's on fire and might get Glencross going
Byron Backlund Bouma ---> the energy line of all energy lines
Bollig Stajan Setoguchi/Jones/Grats ---> Happy to see Stajan on the 4th line. It means we've gotten better at centre.

To be fair, he was almost right.

The only thing he missed is that Tier 1 fans are also scum-sucking garbage. We are talking about the Oilers, after all.

Does anyone have video of Brodie's goal. It's not shown in the highlights.

You don't need a video, just see the picture posted couple pages back.


All you need to know is 4 oilers (including hall who should have been defending against Brodie) behind the net and Brodie walks in on the slot.


Oilers are no good

It's in the highlight package on www.dtmts.com (Don't Tell Me the Score) a great website by the way.

I'm actually quite shocked there was anyone left in the arena to throw their sweater/jersey.
