Pre-Game Talk: Exhibition: Canucks vs Jets - July 29th - 7:30 PST

[wonton15]

We're most likely going to see our game 1 roster out there -- there's minimal time for real game warm ups and you can't be not ready.
We'll probably see:

Miller Pettersson Toffoli
Pearson Horvat Boeser
Roussel Gaudette Ferland
Motte Beagle Sutter

Hughes Tanev
Edler Myers
Fantenberg Stecher

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

All I’m asking is no one gets injured

 

[krutovsdonut]

i would rest guys like edler and sutter who know the score.

and dress guys you need to evaluate now in case they have to play: graovac , mcewen, juolevi, and chatfield,

After watching the PHI/PIT game, I don't think we should sit anyone we're going to be playing. Incredibly rusty play even from all star players playing with their regular linemates.

On one hand I get guys wanting to get into playoff mode, up the their intensity etc but I wouldn't mind if they played like an all star game and, everyone came out healthy.

let the guys shake off the rust. practice is so different from in game situations. some guys might be better equipped in gamelike situations than others. lets see how it all plays out before vrsing the wild on sunday.

So we can carry an extra forward and D for this game? MacEwen at forward probably. Extra D is Chatfield, Rafferty or Juolevi with Benn still absent?

Truth is for me, I hope they play Juolevi in that extra D spot.

Also have to wonder if Green gives Virtanen one more chance ahead of McEwan.

 

[BWJM]

Just make it through this one healthy.

God has accepted this challenge

Sitting your 6th leading goalscorer (4th in PPG, 1st in GWG) because he did not play well in practice. There's something not right there if that happens.

Yup. So much rust and sloppy play. Teams that are more in sync and less rusty are going to win the qualifiers. It’s pre season level of play.

Game day finally!
