TheGuardian_ Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Win three in a row, lose three in a row. This could be the 1rst of 3 in a row, both teams the Nucks play will want to make a statement, that next season they will be better than the Canucks. It is a rivalry thing. Tonight the Canucks get to play against a team that is so close to breaking out and dominating for a decade with the Nucks looking at their behinds in the standings. I remember when reaching the playoffs was the goal of the season, going any further required the very good teams to be eliminated by other teams. Edmonton has played one game over the 8 days and they got the arses handed to them by the other rival, so I expect them to come out and win the final home game, with vigor. 6-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's changed about the culture in the room that is going to turn this team around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apricot Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Canucks win 3-1. Oil are going for the last overall pick again, they're the ultimate tank. They're not gonna want to win the game especially when they're tied with Toronto for last place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJSkingz Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Edmonton come out flat in their last game at Rexall, embarrass themselves in front of the Oil alumni and the Canucks cruise to a worse draft position. 5-2 Canucks Goals from: D.

If the room lacks "culture" then it is up to the guys running the team to provide it, once it is achieved then they leave the room. They have a strong leadership group in management willing to make a bold move via trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 The Oilers will lose their last home game at Rexall tonight, like the losers they are. The Canucks will win 5-2, and after the game Henrik will tell reporters that the Oilers didn't try hard enough, so don't get too excited about the Canucks 4th win in a row. The Oilers fans could care less about the loss tonight, as they'll be reminiscing about the glory days 30 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiarelli is a decent GM, but also was the GM that traded away Seguin... McDavid is talented, but again, just one player. Hall is a talent, but plays a game that lends itself to injury more often than not. Defense? Goaltending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Last game at Rexall Place - Oilers better show up for a change. Still can't believe with all their 1st over all picks, that they are in the basement.... Go Canucks Go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They either have it or don't. Sure thing. Although Tryamkin is looking like he may buck that trend somewhat. As well, if Benning drafts Chychrun (who is considered to be well beyond the developmental bell curve for defensemen) that theory may get tested. Any skill in the NHL can be developed by the right training and coaching staff. This includes skating, positioning, stickhandling, and shooting accuracy.
