That was the biggest difference I noticed. Big guns performed as always, nothing new. They scored just like they were supposed to.
Difference was we actually have a PK and a healthy goalie now.
If both sides can click we'll be having alot more happy post game threads this year.

I would like to say 8-1 is a pretty close score.

I got the flu too right now. Can't even fathom playing goalie in an NHL game right now lol.
Good job Demko!

My voice is shot. Holy balls.
Junior and I had an amazing time. Hearing him yell “get off your knees, ref, you’re blowing the game” early on and getting a huge laugh from our section had me unsure of how to react.
8 goals. 4 from Brock. What a quintessential dismantling of the Oilers.
Also, f*** the Oilers.
Arguably up there with watching that beating was the fact that I didn’t have to hear Singh and DeBrusk slobbering all over the Oilers all night. But picturing them being depressed at the outcome is funny.
I think that’s the most goals I’ve seen the Canucks get live in person. And my son was on cloud 9.
Lafferty can sure fly. Garland and Beauvillier were tough on the forecheck all night. The defense was strong top to bottom. Petey and Miller controlled the puck and the play so well at all times. Boeser’s first goal was a total flashback to his rookie season, and to have a 4 goal game is crazy.
Hope Demko kicks the flu in short order.
What a night.
LET’S GO CANUCKS!

Pettersson now officially over point per game for career
He couldn’t catch up to last season was always 1 or 2 away

What a game and what a win. This is the first season where I'm starting to believe. Our core has matured up and are at their prime. I think this is the year we get into the playoffs if everyone stays healthy.
Oh yea and Ian Cole, such a great pick up. Solid stable defensemen, reminds me of the Edler/Tanev days.

Man this shit pisses me off. There are kids at the game it's just embarrassing. Happy to see both the Oilers fan and the Canucks fan (got dumped at the end by security) got what was coming to them.

McDavid is such a baby, whining about the Canuck goalie change.

Big props to our pro scouting department. Suter, Cole, Hronek, Lafferty looked great today
Wow. Really unbelieveable. With the flu and the injuries felt we'd get blown out. (and I hope we breathing heavily on the Oiler players). One of the craziest Canuck wins I can remember - maybe all those wins at the end of last year were not in vain.
Good
Boeser - lot of at the right place at the tight time but give him credit for going to the net and for having a great stick when he got there. On pace for 168 goals.
Pettersson - best player on the ice. Needs of lot credit for play in his zone. Get out the checkbook
PDG - another very solid game. got to be a believer at this point.
Hughes - actually minutes a bit down (likely b/c of score) but, per usual, was central to much of the good done in this game
Hronek - outside of the occasional misplay was I thought the best defenseman in the game. Long time ago you could say that about a Canuck defenseman with Hughes around
Garland - did so many big and little things well. Canucks need to get something if they are going to move him. He is a very handy player although still have many doubts about him being first line material. His commitment to both ends of the rink is excellent.
Demko - outstanding -gave up so little around the net. God help us if he is injured.
Cole - quietly very solid. Anticipate the play very well which makes job easier.
Lafferty - was good on the forecheck and took the puck to the net. Meat and potatoes type who plays an honest game. Podkolzin should watch how this player plays
Suter - very good game. Created turnovers and created chances. From game to game in the pre season and in this one has shown good development. HIs skating makes him a huge improvement over Dries.
Others
Kuzmenko - guy looked a little under the weather. Ok but lacked his usual spark.
Myers - had some very ragged shifts. Another maybe fighting the flu. (looked very fatiqued at times). He is only effective if he is getting quickly on the play and and staying on the front foot. Got pushed back into his crease too much.
Hirose - could see that lack of size hurt him in different situations. Has a ways to go
Juulsen - got better as game went on but obvious he is very marginal. Maybe with time he can do enough to not be a negative. Did go to the body well in the third.
Joshua - needs to move his feet more and not get into hooking situations
Hoglander - has to get more fluid in his play - too much stop and start. Did his best work along the boards in the offensive end. At his worst in defensive transition and in getting puck smoothly through the neutral zone and out of his end. Lafferty at this point is probably the better player.
Beauvillier - generally effective - especially on the fore check but needs better touch around the net.
Long ways to go but great start and at least tonite a good night to be a Canuck fan. One thing you have to like is the way they evenly distributed the time in this game. Of course, that was made easier by the score.

Trouncing the Oilers is always a good way to start a season. Don't recall the last time this team looked decisive early on. Relieving to see Boeser pot a couple of snipes as well as a few right-place-at-the-right-time bounces, if we get to see a return to form we're in a lot less trouble.
As always, it may have been that the Oilers were simply flatfooted because quite a few of our goals were bang-bang plays that seemed to be too fast for them to read and cover so maybe we shouldn't expect us to be full throttle just because of this one result. But at least it's good to feel optimistic about October for once.

He is, unironically, not even 1/10th the leader Hughes is
