I personally like having Schenn as his RD. Built-in protection. You can certainly rely on OEL to step up to the plate to protect his teammates. He may not win the tilt, but its about showing up to the dance, not killing it. Both times OEL stepped into the role to protect |Podkolzin.

He's better in a lot of different ways that some don't give him credit for. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with Hughes playing with all skill sets allows us to mold the d-core on a game to game and even shift to shift basis. I do think in heavier games, you likely see Scdhenn spot duty. In speed and skill, perhaps OEL, Myers etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's also the only one in the group photo that isn't smiling. Is he having a bad day, or just super focused on dominating the back end? I like to think he’s super focused on the back end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS4quality Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Lots of good things happening this season. At this rate were gonna have 30+ players on our roster. Cuts are gonna be tough this year. I'm looking forward to going to Abbotsford for a few games if I can. I just hope this team is ready to roll from game 1. Last season even the pre-season looked depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have gone crazy from the bench had I seen my teammate turn his back. Wish Burroughs would have gotten to McNabb first.. Burr woulda held his own and swung for the fences. Regardless, I gained a lot of respect for OEL and how he isn't afraid to jump in. Sure he doesnt fight but at least he does something unlike Bo "skate away" Horvat Edited September 25, 2022 by Outsiders 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he doesnt fight but at least he does something unlike Bo "skate away" Horvat This is where Horvat reminds me so much of Linden as a leader and team captain. Both very well-respected, big, physical guys who could hit if needed and get their noses dirty in the corners, but would only fight if they were physically dragged into it. This used to drive Tommy Larschied crazy about Linden, especially in those instances where he should have been fighting to stick up for a teammate. Being the huge Stan Smyl fan that I always was, this was the difference in Linden's leadership style and personality that used to be especially hard for me to accept as well. It's also an issue that's not popular to bring up for either Horvat or Linden, considering how classy and widely admired both are. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a number one D man, which means we have two ones. Good trade by Benning. A Nonbusteroo then? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
