Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Oilers - 6-1 (Rafferty, Beagle, Baertschi, Jasek, Horvat, Gaudette)

[wreckless]

He’s a fringy fungible 2nd line type who was just a placeholder until we found guys who were better ... that we for some reason gave money and term to and now, once we have upgraded, we’re kinda stuck with and who doesn’t fit anywhere.

lol, what else is new

haven't watched any game this year, how has Horvat been playing?.

 

[HankNDank]

Not watching the game live, but just saw the beagle from Schaller goal. Ha ha, made me think of this place and how it would probably get some good reactions out of people.

 

[Consistencee]

Pre season hockey sure is... something

This game is so obviously being played at half speed that it's almost like watching it at 0.5 speed. Just zero intensity from anybody on the ice for either team.

 

[Nomobo]

I think Rafferty is going to surprise this year.

 

[wonton15]

Snooze fest of a game...

 

[JumpierPegasus]

This has been a really good game from Rafferty. I am also impressed with Brisebois, but I am always impressed with his poise.

Not liking Fantenberg much, we could send him down to Utica and run 7 defenders, I wouldn't be upset. Biega earned his spot over him thus far

Man the Oilers without McDavid and Drai are one boring team. Hopefully Tippett at least lets those two play creatively or it’s going to be a long season for the Pacific.

Every year I look forward to the start of hockey season......always forgetting the purgatory that is pre-season....until it's upon us.

 

[ephmrl]

Rafferty is looking good so far

Yeah...hopefully the Oilers trademark doesn't become snoozefest hockey..

 

[wonton15]

Bo is going to have a career year. 70+ points

 

[Canuckle1970]

Bear Cheese!

My quick thoughts from half watching mostly listening to the game thus far:

-Jasek is in over his head and not contributing anything out there tonight.
-Rafferty has some offensive flair but is a bit of an adventure in his own zone.
-Horvat's line is mostly just going through the motions.

 

[The Stig]

Smooth as silk.

Nice pass by Horvat to set up the Baer for a goal.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Stecher looks really good this game.

 

[MS]

That pass from Horvat was all-world.

 

[krutovsdonut]

canucks rolling. koskinen looking suspect on that one.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Well....we seem to have some finish.

 

[Bgav]

Jasek has played much better today

 

[The Stig]

Their goaltending is going to be a serious problem

 

[Peen]

lol

jasek and baertschi added to the list of canucks players having weak games but scoring

 

[The Stig]

Jasek has played much better today

Might be a good Utica guy.

 

[THRILLHOIAF]

Jasek playing good defensively - have liked several of his back-checks to help out his D on a couple of his plays

had that bobble in the neutral zone on his first shift

capitalizes on the powerplay

good for him
