Post-Game Talk: Preseason GM05| Vancouver Canucks lose to Edmonton Oilers in Shootout | 2-3 (Bains & Smith)

[Jovofan]

It's not gonna happen and it ultimately doesn't matter but I'm cheering hard for this abysmal lineup beating Edmonton on the road. It would be hilarious.

My gawd......Kudryavtsev and D-Petey are being thrown to the lions in this one. That's a blueline that would struggle to keep the puck out of their own net in Abbotsford.

If they can survive this one, they'll be able to sail through anything they're likely to face in the AHL.

You seriously think that Desharnais, Juulsen, Friedman, Wolanin, Pettersson and Kudryavtsev would be a weak AHL group?

 

[TruGr1t]

Seen a few instances of Suter-Sprong. Wonder if that’s 2/3rds of the initial 4th if Blueger can’t go to start and Raty holds over on that consistent unit.

Then when Blueger is back you can swap him in, or shift Suter to wing if Raty has been performing.

No indication at all they’re considering Sprong for Pettersson. Sat was on SN650 this morning and said his bet to start is Sherwood with Pettersson-DeBrusk.

It's a positive sign for Felton that he's not in the line-up tonight.

(At least I think it is. Now watch him get sent to Abbotsford before the final exhibition match.)

 

[Slapshot_11]

So basically the majority of the players getting cut are getting thrown to the wolves for one last game

 

[timw33]

I love these Sin Eater lineups that you only get in preseason.

He also called Derrick Pouliot the next Drew Doughty
I doubt he actually believes any of the wild hot takes or 180 flip flops he posts though, he's just Ben Kuzma or someone like that trolling all of you with "And Now You Know the Rest of the Story" blog posts

Tocchet wasn't that complimentary of Felton after his game - praised Mynio and Kudryavtsev heavily but just said Felton was "good"
Don't think Tocchet thinks much of him at this point so he's probably cut after this game

 

[Coffee]

Yeah I’m not watching tonight’s game. Cya next game.

You have to shotgun a beer if Canucks win

 

[Orca Smash]

I'm pretty sure he did something similar last year, played better players earlier in the preseason and then played mostly ahl line ups later until the last game. Not sure why he does that. Would be nice to get this pp some reps in, practice didn't help it last season.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Wait. So Buffalo and NJ play their season opener while teams are still playing their pre season the day after. I get they’re in Czechia but really?

I’ll shotgun you instead (and not in a homicidal way).

Should have some semblance of a NHL team by this point. That roster is disgusting

I noticed that as well. Nobody in management or even in media has been as positive about Felton as some posters here have been.

I could easily see your prediction being correct. But I'm still thinking it's possible it'll go the other way.

If they win I’ll shotgun a beer nude on my front porch with a canuck jersey tied around my neck.

I don't really get these "thrown to the wolves" comments, getting them this game and got a lot of them last game.

It's the preseason, big whoop. The good players on the other team aren't even going to be trying that hard, and even if we do get shelled nobody is going to care or remember a week from now.

To me, "thrown to the wolves" is more like when we played Dipietro vs the Sharks a few years back.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Rejoice!

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Weird decision to go with so few NHLers with only 2 games left in pre-season. Feel like we have seen a lot of these guys.

Tell that to the cops

 

[TruGr1t]

I am here for the situation if he doesn't play Friday.

 

[wonton15]

Remember when Green stapled Nic Petan to Pettersson’s hip all preseason to live out his Portland Winterhawk fantasy and then surprisedpikachuface.jpg when we stumbled out of the gate

 

[BluesyShoes]

We're gonna get destroyed. Some of these guys should have been sent down already. Like why are Mueller, Smith and Bains still around? They've done not much of anything, and clearly aren't making the team.

At least looking forward to seeing more Kudryastev. Probably mostly watch the Seahawks game instead.

Sending the vets to Edmonton for a pre-season game would be a punishment more than anything. Granted there are some other guys they could send.

This might be one of those games where they send some guys to get absolutely spanked so they don't feel slighted when they get sent back to Abby.

Predicting fan trade outrage if Podkolzin, playing along aside a generational player, looks good.

I’m not worried. I can’t see that McDavid line doing much against our stacked top line of Bains Suter Sprong.
