Will be updated as we get info.  Last preseason game before the real deal.  Expecting a spirited match after last game.  Let's see how many infractions McD gets away with tonight.  

 

Most important of all:  I'M GOING TO THE GAME!!!

I hope it's not MacEwen vs Edmonton everyone!

Looking forward to this one! Surprised by the lack of cuts so far, heres hoping we play a pretty complete team and not a bunch of tweeners again

What even IS this? (he REALLLLLY ticked me off when he had a hissy fit and turned to get his stick up high on Petey...of course, burned all the evidence):

Congrats Deb, enjoy the game.

So are we going to see an almost opening night roster or give those competing for final spots one last chance?

I still and hoping to see what OEL and Petterson look like when look like on ice together.  Think their games compliment each other well.

Really pumped for this game! Last preseason game so we'll probably see close to the starting lineup for the Nucks this season. It'll be the last audition for players on the bubble too so they'll be hyped. Any word on the starting lineup yet? Whatever it is, the team is gonna put on a show for the home crowd.

I predict a big 5-1 win over McDavid and the small (Oily) fries!

edit: Darn, I see no McD tonight. So it's 8-1 over the Oily fries!

Final rehearsal before regular season boys, having said that let's kick their butts.

I'm glad to see Smith is fine. I was worried he injured himself with his physical comedy.

Time to roll out a loaded lineup and run the Edmonton depth guys right out of the building.

  We throw the word fine around loosely these days, don't we?

[CRAZY_4_NAZZY]

I wonder if Jack Rathbone gets his 7th straight preseason game tonight.

 

Has anyone ever played all preseason games for us before? I've never noticed it before.

Something close to the pracrice lines yesterday, I would imagine. This is what they lookes liked:

 

Pearson-Horvat-Höglander

Petan-Miller-Podkolzin/Bailey

Garland-Pettersson-Chiasson/MacEwen

Di Giuseppe-Dickinson-Dowling/Highmore

 

Hughes-Poolman

OEL-Myers

Rathbone-Schenn

Hunt-Bowey

 

Demko Halak

I kind of recall Motte and Boeser playing a lot if not all of their first preseason with us.

Smith drives me nuts with his diving.  I'm actually much more interested in hearing how kassian is doing after that concussion, but no mention of him.

Interesting that some big boys for the Oilers aren't playing in their last pre-season game.

 

Interested to see our roster, but if we do play a lot of NHL guys, we should be expected to win this one. Depends on who we ice.

The Twitter says that they are not playing so they will get away with all the infractions this game. Have fun!

In the absence of Brock it looks reasonable. Except lines 2 and 3 get switched around. I like the D and goaltending as is.

There was an update earlier that said he appeared "ok" other than a bruise on his head.  He was making jokes, etc. so I guess it's a matter of "time will tell".  Hope he doesn't suffer any long term effects.
