Post-Game Talk: [EX2] Canucks lose to Oilers - 1-2 (OT) (Hughes)

[Vector]

Any word on the Canucks roster yet? Would be disappointing to see them frees another nothing roster

No Pettersson and that's the only info out there.

 

[tradervik]

If the Canucks want to field an AHL lineup with the minimum number of "veterans" required by the NHL while the main group of players focus on learning Tocchet's systems and "right way to play", that is fine with me.

 

[rypper]

The Canucks will probably ice another nothing line up and win, because the it's the preseason.

 

[Kryten]

On play now, the odds for EdM win only pay out 1.34, but the over 6.5 game goals pays 1.76. Easy choice

You betters are going to give me a migraine, aren’t you?

I wonder if this is even worth watching, considering it's going to be an absolute slaughter, even if McDavid and Drai are going at 50%.

No Pettersson to match up vs McDavid means a guaranteed loss.

The secret is that no pre-season games are worth watching.

I like watching fringe and young guys working their asses off to make the team and potentially surprising.

Other than that, yeah. It's pretty painful to watch.

I mean from a pure hockey perspective who doesn't want to watch McDavid? So there's that.

 

[wonton15]

Still going to watch every preseason game, overanalyze and moan about it

How hasn’t the practice group or travelling team been leaked yet?

 

[Play]

How hasn’t the practice group or travelling team been leaked yet?

the Canucks aren’t no Mickey Mouse franchise.

We’ll find out the group when the team intends us to

Edm -1.5 is 1.83, no brainer

 

[Kryten]

Edm -1.5 is 1.83, no brainer

Im not cool or smart enough for pucklines

 

[credulous]

I expect the Oilers to be on a post-Vegas series revenge tour all year and generally drop-kick most of the league in the regular season, so assume this will be the beginning of multiple beatings at their hands.

i think they should be the preseason cup favorites

 

[Huhu]

Can everyone just throw their sticks into a pile at centre ice and then we just pick teams so that the game is at least watchable?

If the Canucks send the AHL lineup again none of the players on either side will be gaining anything from the game anyway.

The secret is that no pre-season games are worth watching.

I went to a pre-season game against the Flames in 2008 where we won 6-1. Our young guys in Kesler, Raymond and Hansen were fantastic in that game and Demitra looked good.

Funny thing is we kicked their asses again in the season opener a week later.

Lol still a bit weird. Not a single reporter was at the UBC practice? It’s like they’re scared to announce the AHL roster again

 

[StreetHawk]

Predicting the Oilers play their whole NHL team and the Canucks play about 25% (no one from the top 6 or top 4). We lose 9-1 and we take pride in scoring a goal and only letting 9 in.

Kind of typical for road games unfortunately.

 

[krutovsdonut]

are there any guys left in camp not expecting to be in the ahl and deserving of a cup of coffee.

because i would expect jt miller, hughes and cup of coffee guys with the top of the ahl and bottom of the possible nhl lineup making up the rest. de smith with the start.

 

[wonton15]

Could be an early indication of a lineup tonight

Looks like it could be
Petey line
Blueger line (Aman and Studnicka)?
Hughes McWard
Brisebois (Myers?)
Martin

Yes, slow day at work.

 

[Deeds26]

Should give us clues on whose flying to Edmonton.

Petey, Hogs, Martin, Hughes, McWard, Soucy, Kuzmenko? Aman? Other?

 

[Deeds26]

 

[Vector]

 

[wonton15]

Looks like DeSmith, Garland, Myers, Sasson, Soucy, Dries, Raty also travelled

Theres the squad!
