The game against LA really exposed the third line. LA’s third line had all the goals that night. Spreading out the talent is going to be necessary to winning against all teams. McDavid and Nuge can carry the line and having less talent but defensively responsible players support is a good idea. Hyman on the third line while he recovers from his broken nose has really change the whole dynamic of that line and they look dangerous. I trust coach Knoblauch.
Pretty sure McDavid has a fair say who he wants on his line as well. He likes Brown they played together in junior when Brown lead the league in scoring. I don't think it's necessarily bad to run Skinner with Hyman I mean we need to get some guys clicking. We might not be able to trade Skinner so now's the time to shuffle guys around while we still have enough games left in the season to try it.
Skinner needs to replace brown on the top line
Wrong side of the ice. Skinner is a LW and Brown is a RW.
Agree with Louie that the Oilers need to be more physical. They are too easy to play against and this will rear its ugly head in the playoffs.
brown should not be on the top line, Knobber has his obvious favorites.
