Post-Game Talk: Pre-Season GM 8: Oilers 2 @ Canucks 3 - No witty pun until TPM shows up

[Mr. Canucklehead]

For pity's sake, everyone. THIS IS NOT A LINDEN VEY THREAD.

He's got his own thread, specially for you guys to espouse how he's responsible for the Bubonic Plague, the Great Chicago Fire, the Sinking of the Titanic, and Nathan Lafayette hitting the goal post.

This is the GDT. To discuss the game. Happening tonight. In which the aforementioned player is NOT EVEN PLAYING.

I really hope the coaching staff isn't dumb enough to split up the Sven-Bo-Jake line.

 

[Huggy]

I really hope the coaching staff isn't dumb enough to split up the Sven-Bo-Jake line.

Then it would be incredibly easy to cheer for chychurn to go with Hutton to complete the rebuild.

I really hope the coaching staff isn't dumb enough to split up the Sven-Bo-Jake line.

It looked excellent. Best I've seen Baerch. Doubt WD could even be that silly.

 

[Peter10]

I would say the real question is, what will Benning / Willie do if the kid line is silent tonight and doesnt score?

 

[Josepho]

Calling a Benoit Pouliot hat trick.

 

[The Jesus*]

Calling a Benoit Pouliot hat trick.

Looks like they're converting Draisaitl to the wing this year.

Calling a Benoit Pouliot hat trick.

Their d is laughable

 

[CherryToke]

Their d is laughable

that looks like a team that would claim Corrado off waivers.

 

[Goon42]

They couldn't possible split up bae ho virt right!?!?1? Right?!?!?

 

[McHortton]

Oops

 

[ProstheticConscience]

That Bart--BoHo--Virtanen line has to be the 2nd line behind the Sedins when regular season hits.

No idea where the instinct to defend Vey is coming from. I have no idea what games people are watching if they'd give Vey a spot over McCann. Vey's just not good enough for the top 6 and just not strong enough for the bottom 6. He's the classic AHL star who can't crack the bigs.

And please wrap up the preseason by killing the Oilers again.

 

[Josepho]

Their d is laughable

IKR, I know obviously they've gotten the big personnel changes, but I'm not taking the Oilers seriously until they get some legitimate defenders.

And wow, Sutter with the Sedins. I hope to god WD brings back Virtanen to that line during the game.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Why the **** would they split the kid line up after last game...

Sutter with the Sedins is

 

[TruGr1t]

Well, McCann's being given some quality line mates at least. Big game for him since I think he's on the cusp of being sent back to junior. Sutter with the Twins is indeed absolutely dumb ... just put Vrbata with them already and be done with it.

Virtanen's gonna have to learn to play bottom six because that's likely where he'll start if he sticks around.

 

[Josepho]

Looks like Pizza Hut is a pairing again. Honestly if Sbisa can be as rowdy (can't think of a better word) as he was last game, I'll be happy. I think he slightly got under the skin of the Oilers last game.

[CherryToke]

I don't like splitting up the kid line already, or playing Sutter with the twins... but that 3rd line is intriguing. and the fact that Vey isn't in the lineup... is it possible they're actually thinking about dumping Vey in favour of McCann?

edit: I didin't see the post above me before posting this. don't kill me

 

[polarbearcub]

They split the kid line up... Omg

 

[Josepho]

did you really have to include the lafayette part

 

[Huggy]

Sutter is honestly a young Burrows, maybe it works

 

[Knight53]

What was the point in acquiring Sutter if he is playing on the wing just put Vrbata with the Sedins already
and how do u not keep the kid line together ffs

 

[canuckking1]

My moods ruin poor Jake just send him down don't want him to become a plug

 

[knives of ice]

Sutter flat out can't play wing.

 

[polarbearcub]

This is really strange... I just don't get this coaching staff... Argh!!!!!
