1. Was hoping Lehky would at least play PP/PK minutes but better safe than sorry. Going to need Georgie to Goalie the Oilers tonight

2. Atta boy Hunt keep on snipin

3. macdermid trying to defend mcdavid is the origin of all horror stories

4. Let’s see some more Hunt-bombs off the faceoff!

5. Still a *very* depleted D-corps to go up against McDrai with the division title in play.

6. Really hoping this means Hunt has edged ahead of MacD for meaningful games.

7. I hate having to play the Oily Boys without Makar, but if memory serves it was actually Sammy G who played the biggest role in shutting down McDavid in our previous matchup. Counting on you to bring it tonight, le Tornade!

8. If Hunt gets into a fight tonight and kicks some ass, then Dermy need to be bought out

9. Byram or Toews on PP1? I’m guessing Toews since they’ve scored lots of PP goals lately, even though Toews has felt underwhelming there imo

10. Sad about Lehkonen…but yay for Hunt. Much better choice.

11. At this point, as much as it sucks to say. I’d rather rest Cale and the others who may be close. As healthy as we can be by Game 1 over pushing for the division should be paramount. We were road warriors last year and wit our playoff swagger now health is more important than 1st in division

12. Sounds like Lehkonen definitely back for playoffs, hopefully some of Helm / Landeskog / Makar / Manson will be there with him too….
