[JT Milker]

Score prediction: 16-2 Canucks.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

I heard McDavid wrote a book about the last game

 

[Josepho]

I think we should have more modest expectations of this game.

5-2 Canucks

 

[Kryten]

Too early for a thread. Didnt we learn our lesson in preseason @Vector

 

[Angry Little Elf]

4-1 Canucks

Worked for the last game.

 

[Jay26]

5-4 Canucks in OT.

 

[rypper]

I said to myself at the outset that winning one of this home and home would be a good outcome, but why not go for 2?

 

[sandwichbird2023]

I think the Oilers will want revenge from the last game. Hopefully the team is fully healthy by tomorrow.

Still can't believe we beat them 8-1 when Demko and others were playing through a flu! As if a huge win against McDavid isn't enough, that just make it so much more impressive.

 

[kylek023]

5-4 canucks

[WetcoastOrca]

Got to tighten up the D and PK this game. Can’t be giving up that goal to a plug like Draisaitl.
3-0 Canucks.

 

[nucks88]

Score prediction: 16-2 Canucks.

You really think they can score two on Demko?....

 

[WetcoastOrca]

You really think they can score two on Demko....

Agreed. But there’s always a few haters.

[nucks88]

Who do we get tomorrow then?

 

[Vector]

Who do we get tomorrow then?

Probably the same two dinguses we got on Wednesday. There is a chance that Garrett is the colour guy, though.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Probably the same two dinguses we got on Wednesday.

This is Mark Lee and Kelly Hrudey all over again.

Actually, it's even worse.

Get bent Rogers.

 

[LemonSauceD]

I’m expecting a more closely matched game.

6-2 Canucks

 

[StickShift]

I don't get the grudge towards Harnarayan Singh.

He genuinely seems to get that excited whether it is Edmonton playing or Columbus playing. It is a little over the top at times, but I really don't sense the Edmonton bias that often gets declared here.

Maybe its from watching more regional games in the US it doesn't stick out so much to me,

 

[nucks88]

As Canucks fans we may have been shit kicked by horrible hockey teams throughout the years but we have been spoiled
by our Play by Play and colour guys...Robson, Larscheid, Hughson, Garrett, Shorthouse....high bar...

I don't think he calls a game well regardless of who's playing. Misses plays, gets players wrong, and is always a step behind. There's frequent awkward silence as he process what's happening.

 

[supercanuck]

It's only the 2nd game of the season, but I can't remember the last time I have had this type of anticipation for a regular season game. Hoping for a hard fought win.

 

[StickShift]

I am 100% expecting Edmonton to play better and for us to come back to earth.

But ooh baby would I love it if the Canucks can do it again.

If they could carry that momentum through their eastern road trip:

PHI​

TBL (No Vasilevsky)
FLA (No Ekblad, Montour, Bennett)
NAS​

Playing Tampa and Florida this early is a treat. Our playoff competition will play them later when they will presumably be more healthy.
