Post-Game Talk: Preseason GM06 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Canucks def. Oilers | 4-1 (Hughes, Soucy, Bains, DeBrusk)

[Canuckle1970]

This is a pre-season win I'll gladly take.

 

[Cogburn]

I’m not against Coilers running McDrai to the ground yet again.

Skinner, McDavid and Draisaitl shouldn't ever leave the ice, outside of the latter two, there is no team to speak of.

 

[Blue and Green]

Best part was Silovs looking good.

 

[bbud]

Coilers get used to it )

 

[Peen]

Underrated part of this is Silovs having a good game.

How did Hoglander bounce off Podkolzin like that

He seems to really understand his low center of gravity / strong core. He just stopped skating and knew he would bounce off and keep the puck, all at open ice. That was neat

Solid win. Canucks missing 3 regulars (suter, garland and Joshua) and demko.

 

[Flik]

Aight LF f***ing Go! Lets see how this iteration of the team does this season.

Expectations are high now!

 

[Huggy43]

“that’s not good enough!”

 

[bbud]

Underrated part of this is Silovs having a good game.

Hes been solid and so much shit talk about him hes a great plan b will be a very good starter in a few years

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Team win when I don’t watch

 

[valkynax]

Good night, thank you for playing.

 

[Nuckles]

Pre-season games in October should be a crime. WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT 5 MORE DAYS

Can't read anything into a preseason game, but one thing this game showed me is it's going to be a fun season.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Fun game. Stoked for Wednesday.

 

[Jay26]

Gotta like what we saw in that game. My biggest takeaway is Silovs' performance. Definitely looks like a guy who's up to the challenge of holding the fort for as long as Demmer is out.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Bain looks and sounds like he is stoned.

Mr. 420

 

[LordBacon]

Would you kind folks tell me if the next game is actual nhl game that counts or yet another needless preseason game

 

[Laterade]

All I see is that Bains made the team doesn't matter what line he's on he makes a difference

 

[alternate]

Raty starting the season as an all-situations 1C in Abby seems pretty obvious now. Had a good offseason though and made a statement.

 

[Flik]

Can't wait to start shitposting with y'all this season, cheers!

Life is a journey, we all die, everything is meaningless

Really liking the forward lines. Wiilie D might have liked them more; it would be a huge advantage to roll the lines confidently and come out with fresher weapons.

Heinen was OK. Understated game but I do think he fits on the Miller line as a glue guy like Suter did.

Sprong looked really engaged. Chemistry is in progress with his linemates but it's their first game together. Petey was much better and DeBrusk looks like a decent forechecking sidekick.

Raty had the one flub on the GA but was otherwise fine. The line was driven by Sherwood and Hoglander (who were great) so hard to say he stood out. Bains was the most impactful guy on the 4th line, moreso than Aman. Blueger looked healthy and wasn't pushing it.

D was promising. Hughes-Hronek and Soucy-Myers looked great. Forbort-Desharnais scared me at times, especially against the rush, but earned their salary on the PK and bullying guys in the DZ.

Silovs was excellent. Unstoppable up close which complements us having trees on D.

Hard to say yet whether Oilers are better on F and D but can still report that Nurse is a dumbass.

 

[wonton15]

As a reminder, final rosters are due at 2PM on Monday.

Pretty clear Raty goes down now. The question is if they keep Friedman/Juulsen.
