GDT: GM 1 | Vancouver Canucks @ Edmonton Oilers | 7:00PM PST | Sportsnet

[MS]

That defence the oilers have is f***ing dreadful, Let’s just outscore them, Slow down the McDavid and drai to around two points only!

6-5 Canucks! Lets do this

It is far, far better than our blueline.

Nurse is arguably the only quality defenseman in this game

 

[alternate]

Interested in seeing Ceci vs Poolman Round 1. One of those "what ifs" for the history books.

And Dowling on the PP, no Hog n Pod. I don't care about Chia on the first unit if it was to keep the 2nd unit chemistry in tact. But ffs Green figure shit out already.

 

[Canucks LB]

It is far, far better than our blueline.

I was not talking about our defense, I was talking about the oilers defence and it’s absolutely awful.

But if you want to know, yes I do believe our defence is pretty awful also.

Especially with Hamonic out, Our right side might be the worst in the nhl

Barrie is good offensively, But other than that, It’s so poor.
I wonder what J fresh has them ranked
I guess the analytics crowd Likes ceci now though

 

[Hansen]

Im really not convinced by Ceci

he was a trash defender for years on Ottawa and then he goes to a much better team and suddenly is good? I think he benefitted from stronger systems and org. Hes going to go back to shit on Edmonton

 

[Paulinbc]

Firs… oh wait..

 

[Canucks LB]

Found it, Yup as I thought.
Yikes

Disagree big time on Nurse. Looking at his career last year was an obvious outlier.

 

[MS]

Found it, Yup as I thought.

Those JFresh graphs aren't fit to wipe your ass with.

I misread this completely, I thought you said the only quality defenceman on the oilers.
I would love to see what you wrote before last season, When he was was great offensively and defensively, and tore up the first couple rounds of the playoffs.

I guess people have short memories

 

[Canucks LB]

Those JFresh graphs aren't fit to wipe your ass with.

He at least gives charts, actual analytical work that he puts into it, You just give your opinion.

Which is fine, nothing wrong with that, The guy is growing a pretty decent reputation right now

 

[AppleHoneySauce]

What does the Canucks one look like?

 

[Canucks LB]

What does the Canucks one look like?

Very similar actually.



Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that Canucks are a better team, they aren’t.
The Oilers are built off forwards, and they have better forwards, we have also great forwards.

All I am saying is that the Oilers defence is terrible, losing a guy like Larsson is such a massive blow, I still have them second place in the division.

 

[krutovsdonut]

beat me to it

I like Hughes but he’s got some to prove still. Obviously great offensively, as is Barrie, who I am not overly fond of.

 

[Pip]

Easy money


Will Connor McDavid (EDM) score 2 or more goals in the game?

• Yes+400
• No-800

yeah I went for it

 

[Canucks LB]

I like Hughes but he’s got some to prove still. Obviously great offensively, as is Barrie, who I am not overly fond of.

I’m just not a big fan of the whole Barrie Hughes comparisons because I truly believe that he was has a higher ceiling even though very is putting up crazy points right now with the oilers.

I believe hughes is a more talented player, I can’t imagine what kind of points he would get with McDavid and drai

 

[Pip]

Regardless I’m sure we can agree there won’t be much quality defending from either side. Should be an entertaining game to say the least

 

[Canucks LB]

Anyways nice chitchat guys before the game, Let’s have a great effort tonight, I’ll see you guys during the game

Absolutely, expecting a very high scoring game

 

[krutovsdonut]

Green is the worst thing to happen to the Canucks since the day Sopel left.

does that mean if we fire him, he will get rehired?

 

[Nucker101]

Anyways nice chitchat guys before the game, Let’s have a great effort tonight, I’ll see you guys during the game



Absolutely, expecting a very high scoring game

watch it be a 2-1 game now

 

[Johnny Canucker]

30 years of getting kicked in the nuts and here I am again. Never fails. I’m a glutton for punishment.


Let’s f***ing go.

5-2 Oilers with empty net
Starting on the road in Edmonton is never a good sign
