shazzam Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 i'm predicting a high scoring game Edm's forwards are gona be coming out guns blazing, lets see if they can keep the puck out of their own net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 All I really want tonight is for someone to clean Yakupov's clock, whether it's Edler, Kassian, Volpatti, Weise...actually no. You know what'd be even better? A patented Keith Ballard hipcheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 The Oilers always seem to get destroyed by the Nucks physically Eberle down thanks to Edler and Ballard Hall down thanks to Edler Nugent Hopkins down thanks to Oreskovich Hemsky down thanks to Glass Sutton down thanks to Volpatti (he still on the oil?) Stortini down thanks to Rypien Hordichuk down thanks to Ballard Plante down thanks to Weise Who's next? N/J.Schultz? Yakupov?

allkill326 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Good to see Luongo starting in net. However, I did expect AV to give Schneider another opportunity to make a good start for this season for Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 As badly as I want Luongo to stand on his head and pitch a shutout to steal the #1 spot back, these Oilers have been playing all season long and are in mid-season shape. They've embarassed our defence before and they'll do it again, but we can't start 0-2. 4-3 Canucks win, the Sedins with 3 points each and Kassian with a goal or two. Our PP tears up their PK in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allkill326 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I did too, but Luongo was scheduled to start and both goalies know that AV sticks to his scheduled starter in almost every instance. Some reflection time might be good for Schneids too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc2001 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The canucks need a 2nd line that can AT LEAST get some hits and energy so our 4th line can do some scoring.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown33429 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Oilers don't have the D to stop the Sedins. I expect a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Well, I didn't anticipate AV would use the goaltenders in tandem, because he has been doing this for the last two years, and despite its effectiveness, Schneider wanted more ice time, whereas, Luongo opted to be traded. Ideally, tandem goaltending, at this stage of the game, I thought, would be the best strategy for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 As long as Kassian gets more icetime then Volpatti tonight, I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazzyfan1993 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I say 6-3 Oilers. Just a gut feeling. Oilers score 6 straight, but the Canucks dominate the 3rd period with goals from Raymond, Burrows, and Kassian. Not enough for a complete comeback though. Lu is kept in for all six goals.

stawns Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 What exactly did Kassian do to make so many Canuck fans in this thread clamour for more minutes given to him? He was -1 and didn't even register a shot. Volpatti, at the very least, threw a couple of heavy hits, a very big one on Bryan Allen. What did Kassian do? Honestly?

DeNiro Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 He carried the puck into the zone very well, he played with a decent physical presence, went to the net and was good, positionally, in his own end. I thought he was solid from beginning to end, and I noticed him on almost every shift. If he played with a better c-man last night, I think he would have done some damage. That's just how I saw it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I predict an Oiler's win, but a closer game... Vancouver will be embarrassed by last night, but the Oilers have too many advantages over them in this game - the biggest one being games played. However... Dubnyk hasn't played yet, so maybe if the Canucks get him early... But, I'm saying 4-3 or 5-4 for the Oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
