Game 6 : Oilers

[kelownabomberfan]

Per the interview I watched he seemed to indicate that he was under the 14 day restriction, and so he arrived Saturday night in Winnipeg.  From there I guess we do the math.  Feb 7th he would be able to practice with the team.

of note, on HNIC Saturday, they said the Jets are trying to get the quarantine reduced from 14 to 7 days because they flew him in on a private plane, rather than him flying commercial.... not sure if anything further has come of this request.

Yes, they needed the gov'ts approval, hoping to match what was done for preseason. I hope it works. I don't like the idea of treating NHLers differently; however, with the NHL's protocols, there is little risk of transmission to anyone.

Agreed.  Not to mention, he can be tested daily, so it’s not the same as Joe public.  Seven days seems like more than enough.

I was fantasizing about Dubois being out there last night with Schief's line being essentially neutralized, and how a line of him, Copp and Ehlers would have just owned the Oilers second line all night, it would have been a much different game for sure.  If they can get Dubois back sooner (and safely of course) then I am all for it.

So who do you take off line 2 to slot in PLD or does he start on line 3?

I’d put Copp back to the 3rd.

[M.O.A.B.]

The second line of Copp-Stastny-Ehlers is on fire and very productive right now. Not sure if that trend will continue by the end next week (or when Duboi's quarantine ends). 
IF it is, it will be hard to break that trio.
