LET'S GO !!!!!!

Miller being injured would be a big blow to the team. Hate new covid protocol which makes everything Vague.

Yeah...still think he's the most important forward on the team. Without him I think they'll struggle to possess the puck both in transition and on the forecheck.

 

[Fatass]

Sure sounds like no Miller in Edmonton. Not good.

 

[Canucks LB]

Miller might not travel.
Oh my god, Hockey season is officially here!

 

[M2Beezy]

LET'S GO !!!!!!

Man I love this team

 

[Fatass]

Miller might not travel.
Oh my god, Hockey season is officially here!

Without Miller how much do our chances of losing to the Oilers go up? Is Sutter going to play that D zone face off role with Petey?

 

[M2Beezy]

So with Miller out is that what we do,

Pearson Pettersson Virtanen
Roussell Horvat Gaudette
Motte Sutter Boeser
Hoglander Beagle MacEwan

Hughes Schmidt
Edler Myers
Benn Harmonic

You can’t share your entire game plan come on man

The fifth key to success - Don't tell anyone your fifth key to success

Remember last year when Miller didn't take the pre-game skate, then he was playing come puck drop? I think Green just likes messing either with the other teams, or the media/fans, or both.

 

[canuckking1]

Sounds like no Miller. Boeser clowning Jake defensively is amusing considering he hasn’t been all that great himself.

If a guy has a positive Covid test would the team still hold their practice that day?

Green saying in today’s presser he’s going to play Petey’s line against the other teams’ top lines. I believe Petey can do that, but not Jake. We are going to very much miss Miller.

 

[Canucks LB]

Brock low key called out Jake for his Defensive play lmao

 

[HankNDank]

If a guy has a positive Covid test would the team still hold their practice that day?

Considering they already cancelled a practice when a player got a (false)positive test, I would say no they wouldn't.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Always nice to start the day off or in this case the season, with a nice

I know that our Goaltending is in question, but that’s definitely an area we can expose of theirs

Hopefully our D can force Connor & Draisatl to the outside and hold them there more often than not

I’m not as concerned about the rest of their forwards hitting the mark

While our Forwards perhaps can deal out some punishment forechecking their D

Looking forward to watching Quinn run the Power Play with a Season under his belt, backing the opponent into their zone:

If our Boys do all that, by the end of the night

Go Go​

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Woof, that Oilers D is awful. Dare I say one of the worst in the division?

Outside of McMuffin, Drysaddle and Nugent, that roster is also looking kind of meh. A whole lot of nothing

We look more or less the same minus Miller, Pettersson, and Hughes.

 

[HankNDank]

We look more or less the same minus Miller, Pettersson, and Hughes.

Simply not true. Horvat, Boeser, Schmidt >>> Yamamoto, Kassian, Nurse (or whoever their next 3 best players are)

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Can’t wait for the over-reactions either way:

Win = start planning the parade
Lose = taking a step back this year

Just like last year, all I want to see is another year of progression from the kids.

 

[alicia]

Hog is going to be so so so fun to watch, and I’m excited to see the boys in blue get back to it.

Going to be hard to judge this years team I think until we’re about 10 games in, so I’m going to enjoy the ride, win (we better win) or lose, in the start here, but it’s going to be great to see how it all comes together.

I think this year will really show how the loser point screws with the standings, especially in our division where theres a lot of parity.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Simply not true. Horvat, Boeser, Schmidt >>> Yamamoto, Kassian, Nurse (or whoever their next 3 best players are)

Which is why I said more or less. I like their depth forwards a lot better than ours.

 

[JAK]

5-4, OT winner by Pettersson.

 

[4Twenty]

The games are going to be really sloppy for the first two weeks, I wouldn't base too much on those games, but usually you know enough about the teams by the 25 game mark, the problem with that is 25 games is almost half the season.

 

[geebaan]

No Miller and our forward group already looks suspect as hell. Hopefully it’s only a one game thing.

 

[Breakers]

Im predicting a blowout.

One of these teams is going to come out flat.
