I still think Benn has been decent. He came as advertised; a solid 3rd pair guy with some physicality and decent passing. He struggles at times when asked to play 2nd pair minutes, but he hasn't been bad. Fantanberg has been a nice surprise though, it's sure great to have 7 legit NHL defencemen. 2 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the defense is going to welcome the minutes taken by Edler to ease their workload after the stretch without him. Besides, I have a feeling Benn has been playing with a bit of a knock (plus some of the other D as well). 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyotasfan Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Fantanberg has been better than Benn the last few games, still a tough decision. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinky-Winky Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Tough game, really comes down to if the canucks actually show up and play 60mins or they only show up for 20 ...if they show up for 60mins, they should win, if they dont...than easy win for edmonton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Edler returning gives the D a boost and we win big! Ew, Victoria to Edmonton. What a culture shock! My condolences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to take a vet out but you gotta respect Green keeping a guy in thats earned it. I’m willing to bet that Benn doesn’t think he’s playing his best hockey either. Im assuming it’s: Edler Myers Hughes Tanev Fantenberg Stecher 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so bad though, being able to get a new 3 bedroom house on an average income is pretty great.

Then there's the whole LD/RD issue. While Benn and Fantenberg are known to be able to play the right side, why put them on an off side when there's a perfectly capable player to play that side already?

Timråfan Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I think this will be an easy win as Oilers doesn't have the depth as we. We score from nearly every position and I hope Green has spoken with the refs so Nurse can't go for another Oscar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the golf season is far too short I lived in Sherwood Park from 1976 - 1984 and actually really enjoyed it there. Short golf season and long mosquito season weren't much fun though.....

I think its a toss up but they are definitely our bottom 2 guys who are probably going to take turns sitting out. Fantenberg brings a little more to the table and will probably be a regular now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester13 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 There's nothing wrong with Benn getting some rest. We're going to need a healthy lineup for the late season push. I feel a blowout for us tonight 5-1. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
