[GDT/PGT] Preseason Oilers @ Canucks / Oct. 9 / 6:00 PM Rogers Arena

[Elias Pettersson]

Benning left the rink and is currently trying to locate Juolevi.  Might have to convince him to come back…

The system Travis Green has them playing is awful. Too passive and bad defensively.

He's the only reason I use the word "cautiously" before optimistic before the season. 

 

He's a &^@#ing terrible coach. Horrifically bad.

What does that have to do with the play?

Because that goal was Rathbones fault

[Canuckfanforlife82]

There have been a ton of rebounds and we look so disinterested to get to them.

[Alflives]

Have we had a FIRE GREEN in all caps yet?

Just don’t like Miller at 3C. Him and Petey have good chemistry together. Guess until Sutter is back we have no choice.

 

Dickinson, and Dowling on the 4th line.

 

Agree we need Miller on winger.

 pp/pk specialists have replaced low minute enforcers on most rosters.

Now we just need a PK specialist or two.

Good thing it’s preseason hockey!

It is, but considering this is the last preseason game, Green spent way too much time fiddling around with waiver wire fodder and not enough time allowing the team to build chemistry. We should be pretty much set by now.

[EddieVedder]

Oilers look like theyll be a deep team this yr.

[KILLER]

If I had a shin pad manufacturing business, I would give them to whoever the Canucks were playing and they'd be throughly tested.

Sigh....still some work to do....and Oilers not playing McJesus and Dryguy....oh well hopefully they will figure things out when the season starts...

Where’s @Dumb Nuck when you need him?

[-Vintage Canuck-]

We had a good start to the period, but gave up two goals. It will interesting to see how the Canucks come out in the second with a power play.

Benning needs more than Juolevi, honestly Schenn is a 7th or 8th defender at best. 

[Jaimito]

Good start, can't score, then bad PK and brain fart to end it.  Nux hockey. 

[CanucksJay]

What'd I say about Schenn? Slow footspeed caused panic pass 

[Canuckfanforlife82]

No matter the score that wasn’t a very good period. Man they really are not good at scoring that first goal and I don’t think Green has ever put an emphasis on it either. I am tired of seeing them being down 1-0, 2-0 to start games.

No idea how you can blame much of either of those goals on Demko.

Oh come on.  Demko didn’t pick up the long shot from the blue line.  And he way overplayed the puck on the second one. 

Alf misses Marky.  

[De Grasse is greener]

My fav part was Hog trying to go right through that guy. Almost made it too

[Jaimito]

Need Apricot soon...
