[ProstheticConscience]

Honestly torn. Head says lose for Mathews, heart says KILL OILERS.

Defintion of win/win

 

[Josepho]

You must've had a hella healthy heart the past decade or so.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Going to be on a plane for this one.

I still hate Edmonton so a nice beat down with a McJudas hat trick will suffice.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

my first canucks home game since bure was still on the team. welcome home and happy boxing day to me.

 

[polarbearcub]

Morning skate underway at Rogers Arena. All players on the ice except Miller, Tanev, Sutter, Hamhuis & Sbisa.

This teams defense is effed

Well, we're playing the Oilers. So is theirs.

The resistible force meets the movable object.

That's crazy

 

[polarbearcub]

No miller , tanev, higgins

Willie says sutter has skated a few times on his own but is more than week away

[polarbearcub]

[thepuckmonster]

Oh Lordy.

 

[valkynax]

Edler-Bartkowski

There are no Christmas miracles for Canucks fans, only weeping.

 

[thepoeticgoblin]

Oh god, now Tanev is out too? Poor Marky... Oh well. At least he'll be seeing plenty of NHL shots - which will help us judge whether he's ready or not.

Pedan - yay!

 

[thepoeticgoblin]

So, the injury list right now: Miller, Hamhuis, Sbisa, Tanev, Higgins, Sutter.... One could understand why the casual fan (my friends whom play NHL 16) think Van is actually doing okay considering circumstances.

Wow, you guys seem to have the injury bug much like we have.

Missing Klefbom and Davidson has been really bad for our already poor defence.

Also sucks to miss McDavid and Yakupov. We are happy to have Pouliot, Hendricks and Eberle back though. Too many injuries.

Management will use it as a crutch for their excuses.

 

[thepoeticgoblin]

Management will use it as a crutch for their excuses.

Oh yes, I fully expect them to.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Management will use it as a crutch for their excuses.

I'm fine with them using it as a crutch to trade vets at the deadline and tank. Anybody can see that this was a horrible roster that he put together and the excuses didn't save Gillis his job after a terrible year. Once the fans start chanting fire Benning it won't take long for Benning to be fired out of town.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

I'd probably be happy enough this season if the only games we won were versus the Oilers.

3-1 Canucks unless Miller's playing, in that case the other way around.

 

[canuckfan75]

Willie will be the first one gone..

he is well aware of this.... no playoffs and Mr Travis Green will be your coach next year.. regardless they will not renew Desjardin's contract after it expires after the 2016 / 2017 season

He will use it as a crutch to be given another reason to give it a shot at the playoffs again.

"We were hit hard by the injury bug, and therefore couldn't be the 100 point playoff team we know we are. We have next year"
