[nhlisajoke]

pretty sure Khaira will be 4C if he isnt claimed

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Vancouver is a wild card. The loss of Markstrom hurts them but they gave the Oilers problems last year too.

 

[McTrashBoat]

Who's doing the GDT? Need a gooder to start the season

 

[Weitz]

Anyone else think that Smith will get the start because reasons?

 

[KlefDown]

Oilers 3 - 0 Canucks

 

[Hemsky4pm2]

5-4 Oilers in OT. Barrie with the winner.

 

[backhandsauce]

These were the Canucks lines the other night. The bottom 6? Wow.

Miller-Pettersson-Boeser
Pearson-Horvat-Hoglander
Roussel-Gaudette-Virtanen
Motte-Beagle-Sutter

Elder-Schmidt
Hughes-Benn
Juolevi-Myers

Honestly even their 2nd line isn't that great.... Horvat is a good player, but those wingers ain't much. It's also a travesty that Hughes has to play with Jordie? Benn

Think Hughes was with Hamonic yesterday.

Still, this Canucks team doesn't scare me.

 

[Draiskull]

They seem to be high on Hoglander. And has Juolevi finally cracked their roster?
Should be a good contest.

 

[Draiskull]

Other than Hughes that D looks to be on the slow side

 

[Gordian Knot]

6-1 for Oil and I think it might be pessimistic prediction.

Kahun 2 goals
JP one goal
RNH one goal
Barrie one goal
Draisaitl one goal and 2 apples
McDavid 3 apples

Larsson scores one to own net

 

[GreeningOil]

7-3 Oilers, Canucks lineup looks like trash on paper. (We’ve been fooled about paper lineups as Oilers fans) but I fair to say that this Oiler team might be decent

 

[BudBundy]

At least on paper, the Nucks lineup doesn’t scare me at all. More question marks than we have. They are still good enough to beat us if our team doesn’t show up like they should.

 

[OilerMcLord]

3 - 1 Loss.

The Oilers get a quick goal from McD in the first 2 minutes, and then sleepwalk through the rest of the game with zero intensity / effort until the last 4 minutes or so.

Does this scenario sound familiar?

On the bright side, after this loss, the Oil win the next 4 out of 6.

BTW I PRAY that my prediction is wrong, and that the Oilers stomp the Canucks 5 - 1.

 

[FlameChampion]

5-2 Edmonton !

 

[Mez]

4-0 Vancouver Im trying setting my expectations low so that there is only room to go up!

This really is the most believable prediction lol

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Khaira in as 4th Center...he's awful other than on the PK

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Feels nice to have motivation to post again. Need to get my meme game back in shape.

 

[Sanchez]

3-2 Oilers in Overtime. Kevin Quinn screams OVERTIIIIIIIME WINNER from the rafters while Remenda screams WOW over and over again! When security comes to escort them out, Drew starts talking how good the San Jose Sharks are.

 

[Oilhawks]

Khaira in as 4th Center...he's awful other than on the PK

Yup, too bad no one saved this team from him.

 

[McDNicks17]

If he squishes Motte(who will undoubtedly be running around like an idiot), he gets a pass.
