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

[moiderer]

Nice to see Dermott still rocking the Pride tape.

 

[arttk]

Our PK is elite

Looking forward to a 90%+ pk

 

[Paulinbc]

I lied.

After several hours cogitating, I have come to the determination that my severe hockey addiction and infatuation with this team has superseded any potential disinterest in watching this game tonight based off our humdrum quality of fine young professional hockey players that is set to play that may not be the most well endowed, adroit, masterly, or proficient in the sport in which they make their yearly vocation of subsistence in their respective livelihoods in which they are duly rewarded far more than the average citizen that ravages this landscape.

I find that if I watch preseason, I start to get hockey fatigue in the playoffs, and that's just not cool. I caught a bit of Saturday's game, but that's It for me.

Epic CGI goat.

 

[andora]

Loving the piss and vinegar of Sherwood, even in preseason. Love these shit disturber type players.

Now that we have some yes amen

 

[Vector]

If it comes down to Aman vs PDG. Aman probably wins out because of the lack of center depth in the bottom 6 at the moment.

Is Aman actually a centre? He’s got the size and speed but can’t win a faceoff and has no offensive vision at all.

 

[wonton15]

Mueller and Kudryavstev have impressed, again.

 

[Tables of Stats]

The Oilers seem to be having trouble handling the elite offensive group we've sent out tonight.

Darnell Nurse isn’t in the lineup to give some mean looks.

 

[Vector]

This is the best hockey I’ve seen Mueller play.*

*I haven’t watched him much

I mean if he’s good at it we wouldn’t talk about waiving him

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

The difference between PDG and Aman in this preseason is pretty big, especially given Raty’s potentially strong play at C. Think I’d rather waive Aman. Not a big loss if we lose him but think he clears

Yeah I disagree they both have been okay nothing more. With Bluegers health a question mark and Aman being used more on the pk down stretch last year I would be surprised if they chose PDG over Aman.

 

[moiderer]

Our guys have some wheels tonight, a little impressed.

Daniel Sprong looked crazy fast with the puck in his last OZ shift.

 

[Diversification]

I mean if he’s good at it we wouldn’t talk about waiving him

I mean a man is just another guy.

 

[wonton15]

So basically Juulsen kinda sucks

 

[tyhee]

Was late turning the game on, after seeing the proposed Canucks' lineup. Shocked to find the game scoreless 14 minutes in.

 

[arttk]

I mean a man is just another guy.

Pretty much. I mean PDG is a better player but doesn’t play center.

Hog and defense, if that doesn’t improve he’s going to be traded

 

[wonton15]

Podkolzin missing a McDavid tap in lol

Podkolzin missing a McDavid tap in lol

Trying to make us feel better about the trade

 

[wonton15]

I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know Lekkerimaki was playing until 16 minutes into this one

 

[Vector]

I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know Lekkerimaki was playing until 16 minutes into this one

He’s really not ready. Is better prepared than I thought he would be but definitely needs AHL time.

 

[PG Canuck]

Haven’t watched much preseason. Who starts in net opening night?

 

[Blue and Green]

The difference between PDG and Aman in this preseason is pretty big, especially given Raty’s potentially strong play at C. Think I’d rather waive Aman. Not a big loss if we lose him but think he clears

I agree, and when Blueger comes back there are five options available at centre without Aman as Suter can move there if needed. Phil D has definitely earned it based on level of play.

 

[Phrasing]

Haven’t watched much preseason. Who starts in net opening night?

Looks like split duties riding the hot hand. Money on Silovs.

 

[logan5]

I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know Lekkerimaki was playing until 16 minutes into this one

Though he does lead the team in pre-season scoring.
