Like the 3rd line... could be the best in the NHL!..

Good to see he's signing and strengthen out top 9

Hughes, Petey, Chaisson, Myers all over 80% CF just gotta bury a couple in third

It's like we came into to this game thinking easy win with Oilers half line up and our starter line up. Poor passing, lack of defensive game, poor effort and there's a sh!t ton of work to do still. Win the third at the very least!

POdz lookin better each outing.. jusr needs to convert to goals

One of the top Captains in the NHL! Bo Knows...

Agree, this is a stacked forward group that rivals any team in the Pacific D. Our 7-8 D men are looking pretty good for depth, but Hamonic would be allow all D to slide into their roles better. OJ and Rathbone rotating in and out depending on their performance.

Even though we have a 2- 4 record we have the 3rd best Team Corsi through the preseason. 57.43 CF Something we couldn't brag about last year Wonder if Brad Shaw is having an impact here.... I hope so!

Chiasson may have had his best over all game as well. great net front presence that we don't have right now, 6.4" frame difficult to move. Sign him up Jimbo! We need size / skill combo

Best game of the preseason! Petey and Hughes earning their pay, Podz, Petan, Dickenson, Halak, Lockwood, Bailey stood with others playing well. MacEwen and Hunt had a few blunders but Mac did play his tough guy role well Looking forward to the starting line up next game in Van.

Connor cares deeply..

I see Rathbone - Bowey being our 7-8 right now and Juolevi- Schenn 5-6 until Hamonic arrives but they still need to see how these guys are going to show, especially against a stacked oilers team Hopefully this is correct as I hate to see Juolevi risk waivers and lose him after all this time put in, and the fact that he is part of our 2nd pairing PK right now and solid on his defensive decisions and outlet passes this preseason IMO. should be interesting tonight... McJesus is probably salivating here to pad his stats tonight on our B team.

Maybe they already know what they have in Juolevi and giving the other 2 as much time with pairings as possible. He's had a very good camp defensively and PK which what they need more then another offensive D man right now. Hughes, OEL and Myers have us covered pretty well

yes , Larson was in so just 2 regulars out, where we had 4 of our top 6 forwards out as well as a top 4 pairing. Looking forward to meeting them again in reg season when it counts.

Juolevi = Edler 2.0

Maybe once the Canucks shore up their backend Murph'll do the same.

What's with Murphs hair doo... seems he needs a cut on the backend there?.. lol

Lines / Pairings prediction Hogs- Bo- Pearson- Di Giuseppe- Dickenson- PodZ- Highmore- Dowling- MacEwen- Dries- Focht- Lockwood- OEL- Myers Juolevi- Burroughs Rathbone- Schenn

Agree on Highmore for the PK. Petan appears to have the inside edge for 4C right now so will be interesting if they play him on the PK for his remaining games. Also Podz is been deployed more on the defensive end so he could slot in as well on the PK. If the real games are tight Bo and Miller are almost guaranteed to spend time there as well. need to get one of Sutter or Motte back sooner then later!

Agree on Bowey, I believe if he can maintain his ground control, adapts to changes, it could bring him some FAME. regards Major Tom

See Rathbone and Juolevi staying with team if Hamonic not ready to go. Rathbone being first call up leaving Juolevi/ Schenn as 7-8 if we're all healthy, as his PK skills will be needed on the left side.

Chaisson could be the wild card here. 6'4" in our top 9 could really help against the many heavy teams in our division. If they can afford to sign him with Hamonic sticking.

OEL playing like a 7M D man tonight. Hope this is the re-invented version for the season

He had a 93% corsi last check... just a work horse

Will take Juolevi over Rathbone so far, but Hunt has shown well. Thinking he could sneak up the middle to start the season.
