Yeah I can't wait, tommorrow it's kind of silly that the game is at 2 because I mean come on people have work and school. Even on a Monday it makes no sense. Anyways I think the Oilers look less offensive as in there forwards are not as good as they used to be. Also with last nights game I think Edmonton will have low confidence.

Yeah Oilers have pretty much no offense, and their defense seems shellshocked (and full of players who have barely played any pro hockey, AHL or Europe), with Klefbom being super rusty. It'll hopefully be a good chance to see what Shinkaruk can do with some extra space!

Roy has looked good this tournament so he's someone to looks out for, the rest of their guys imo have been really inconsistent. Klefbom shows obvious skill, but hasn't been impressive in comparison to guys like Morrisey and Trouba. Marcinin looked really good last game, so I'm going to keep an eye on him.

I wonder who is in be for them.

It's at 5 in Ontario, so it's perfect for us east coast nucks fans. They are thinking about us! FINALLY!

I would love to see this

Shinkaruk 3 goals

Horvat 1 goal 3 assists

Subban 1 goal 1 assist

Jensen 1 goal

Odd to see the Canucks have a better prospect team than the Oilers. Been a long while since that could be said.

Unfortunately, if the guys likely moving on to camp (Horvat, Shinkaruk, Mallet, Eriksson, etc) were to sit out one game, I think this would be the game. With Gaunce potentially injured, I wouldn't expect to see him, either.

Is there any word on Grenier yet? Wanted to get a look at him.

Called it.

Surprised about Gaunce, though. Guess that means he isn't injured...which unfortunately means that he just played poorly in the first game. Hoping for a rebound.

Huh... Well, that answers my question regarding what to watch. Prospect game without BoHo and Shinkaruk on my 13" Mac Pro, or NFL Sunday on my 70" haha.

why dont they have Hunter and Hovart play all 4 games?
what is the point of having guys like Pecan, Hope and Hall playing?
