Thread: Should we be worried
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueCanuck</b></div><div>Keefe has shown that he's willing to change the lines mid game so practice lines are nothing to look too much into. It's likely just seeing how guys work with other guys in case they need to in playoffs. Hyman has earned his spot in the top 6, he can contribute anywhere he plays. I'd probably guess that the lines are the way they are because Keefe wants a defensive shutdown type of 3rd line and Kerfoot fits that mold better. Both play a similar game of being the first forechecker and out working their opponents but Kerfoot is slightly better defensively, faster, and more versatile than Hyman. Kerfoot being a natural centre fits that line better because if Nash gets waived from the circle Kerfoot is the far better face off taker.

Overall, I wouldn't be worried. The team has greatly improved this season and Keefe tinkers with his lines frequently so it's nothing new.</div></div>

Hyman is much better suited for a 3rd line defensive role than Kerfoot is, and hyman has looked ELITE on the 3rd line. Also I think Hyman is faster, more versatile and better defensively than kerfoot

Thread: Lines at practice today
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oilers4Days</b></div><div>I do get why you're mad that Hyman is on the 1st line. I too think for the most part that he should be on the 3rd so he gets easier matchups and can kill it down there. But I don't have a big problem with him trying the 1st line out, don't worry too much about it.

Kerfoot is only at 2LW because of Hyman being on 1LW. They're not gonna put Foligno at 3LW you know what I mean.

The problems you mentioned are only because Hyman is on 1LW. When they're dunn trying that out the lines will go to normal.

Lastly, Freddy is a Vezina candidate wdym he shouldnt play??</div></div>

Freddie lost 2 games in the AHL, Vezina candidates don't lose AHL games. Andersen is one of the worst goalies in the league. You just love him so much you aren't willing to admit it, but it's true
