Post-Game Talk: GAME #36: Canucks 4, Oilers 2: VAN wins the Sam Gagner Invitational (and is back to .500 on W/L)

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I'm really looking forward to a rival divisional match-up like the Oilers - more emotion than the average game. I just wish it wasn't our 3rd game in 4 nights. The guys may have to use emotion for fuel tonight.

Will the Bo-Jake-Goldy line go head to head with McDavid? Maybe Roussel replaces Goldy on that line. Hoping for an exciting match-up! Go EP & Brock!

I believe this will also be the Oilers’ 5th game in 8 or 9 nights or something. But I agree - good to see a divisional rival. Hopefully the game is entertaining, win or lose.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

imo, Hughes will be as good Keith. Again, it just an opinion and you have yours.

0 NHL / AHL games played. As good as a hall of famer , whose won 2 Norris, Conn Smythe and Stanley cups.

Yup. HF Boards.

 

[M2Beezy]

Not sure

lmaooooo

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

Cant wait to watch Mcdavid make Pouliot look like ECHL level..but he already is..Lucic and Rousell go toe to toe...Just hoping for Petty points really..
Might be entertaining game..

 

[M2Beezy]

Wanna see Horvat beat the snot out of Nurse again

 

[Jimnastic]

Will be looking closely at how Virtanen is used v McDavid today.

Jake is the only guy with the wheels and toughness to work on McDavid. Maybe Bo, Jake and Russo as the shutdown line.

Pettersson 5 points and I will die a happy man

Because EA is the great predictor of all things, here is tonight's result courtesy of this matchup I just played on NHL 19:

5-0 Canucks

Virtanen (Granlund, Hutton)(PP)
Pettersson (Boeser, Goldobin)(PP)
Horvat (Goldobin, Virtanen)
Horvat 2 (Goldobin, Edler)(PP)
Roussel (Unassisted)

Nilsson; 29 saves on 29 shots for the shoutout.

Book it.

Yeah and Cassels will be this and Lind will be that. Time to stop

Roussell won’t fight Looch. I hate looch , maybe in my top 10 current players I hare bur he’s likely the toughest guy in the league. (According to other players when asked )

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Yeah and Cassels will be this and Lind will be that. Time to stop

You don’t think it’s fair to say a guy with 0 NHL/AHL games will be as good as a 2x Norris / Stanley Cup, / Conn Smythe winner????

Why not?

 

[polarbearcub]

A little surprised

Has Nilsson been confirmed to play in goal tonight y'all? I thank he finna play some treal solid game tonight if so sires and madamoiselles here.

You're quite frankly asking for too much, teams don't have that large of a core of players, it usually 5-7 players that you build around. Canucks are already a middle-pack team in the league with just Boeser/Horvat/Pettersson.

I firmly believe Canucks will have success with a core of:
Pettersson
Boeser
Horvat
Q Hughes
Demko
Top 6 forward via UFA/Trade
Top 4 Defenceman via UFA/Trade

Helps when we have Horvat/Pettersson/Boeser
These are guys that other players WANT to play with. So it could help us land good FAs

 

[ErrantShepherd]

Bahahaha... phew, was getting all anxious when I couldn't find the game on, only to be reminded it's not on till 7pm.

All these road trips have had me dialled in for 5pm starts.


Let's get this on, get this done!

Especially Petey and Brock. Guys have legit been the talk of the NHL since coming in...
Who wouldn't want to play alongside either one of those guys?

Bo doesn't quite strike me as having the same buzz or profile, but I'm sure players know him well by now too.

 

[Serac]

My post stating I wouldn't mind Gudbranson back yesterday was deemed too pro-tank. In that case, boy I sure hope Biega stays in the lineup over Gud even when healthy then.

 

[valkynax]

McDavid would've danced circles around Gudbranson anyways

 

[Zombotron]

 

[sting101]

makes sense Horvat gets the McDavid assignment to start

 

[Canuckle1970]

Not thrilled with the changes, but I guess scoring has to be sacrificed in order to contain McDavid. So it's the re-fitted Horvat line up against McD. Go BO !!!

 

[Slapshot_11]

Anyone have a link to stream?

 

[Grub]

Lets go Petey. Points and we all die happy fans.
