Nucks v Oil GNT

[puckhead]

Oil dressing a pretty close to regular season line-up

Smyth-RNH-Eberle,
Hall-Gagner-Pitlick,
Paajarvi-Horcoff-Omark,
Hordichuk-House-Petrell

Canucks sending nothing but prospects, plumbers and tryouts.
Legace gets the start.
Hodgson, Eriksson, Nolan, Ebbett, Schroeder, Mancari, Pinizzotto
Fedoruk, Baumgartner, Dimitrakos...


let Edm collect the W's in Sept

Might as well drop this here (courtesy of jstew):

Ben Kuzma tweet:
A dozen projected Oiler roster players in lineup tonight. Canucks will ice four at best.

Dan Murphy tweet: (turn sarcasm detectors on)

I can't believe that AV is MAKING Cody Hodgson play for the 2nd game in a row. How much more can the young man take from this organization

so which thread do i use? lol

and will you re-post this in the other thread dash? lol

interesting canucks first line: Dimitrakos/Hodgson/Nolan ... oh the humanity!!!



/I know I'm an ass!

 

[dash]

A Greek, A Canadian, and an Irishman together...Now's that a party line.

 

[puckhead]

oops, sorry Dash... had this one open for a bit looking for more Nuck players before posting it.

At least CoHo will have a winger who used to play in the NHL tonight.
a step up from tuesday

kurtenbloggers saying all the big loose meat is playing tonight ... expect donnybrooks and fisticuffs (also brouhaha"s)

/can you have message sending in preseason? Oilers dressing Hordichuk who chirped when he signed that he was ready to get in canucks grills this season ... too bad Eager is concussed and will miss out on some lumps

 

[dash]

No score yet, but two scraps already.

Volpatti vs Peckham
Fedoruk vs Hordichuk

Ding Ding Ding

 

[dash]

Pinozotto vs. Plante makes 3 fisticuffs on the evening...

 

[dash]

Owen Nolan opens up the scoring on the PP...Pretty goal.

1-0 Vancouver

 

[dash]

Duco hammers Taylor Hall into the endboards, they have words, Ryan Smyth steps in, Duco and Smyth start to go, and then Theo Peckham jumps in.

It's a brou-ha-ha...

 

[puckhead]

What I have learned in the first period:

Oilers' starting line-up is pretty competitive with an AHL team
Eddie Lack is a pretty damned good goalie

 

[dash]

It may be early in the pre-season, but I think RNH could use another year of junior hockey...

 

[puckhead]

What I have learned in the second period:

Lack woulda had it :sad:

 

[Automattic]

Owen Nolan is still alive?

 

[puckhead]

Owen Nolan is still alive?

And scoring like a champ.

Although he's had two opportunities in the past two game to call his shot and hasn't done it.
Missed the net both times, too. The old bastard.

He looks younger than Ryan smythe though

 

[puckhead]

Gonna be a loooong season in Edmonton

LMAO!!

Well Oilers fans were told it was going to take some time. I think it's going to take longer than they thought.

Coho looked great tonight

Coho looked great tonight

this

He looked faster and stronger out there. Made some very nice passes as well.

yup ... what impressed me most was he looked very good in his own zone ... almost like a veteran checker ... best play was when he drew the penalty on Hall ... dug the puck out ... used quick hands and feet to turn it around to move the puck out and drew the trip

looks like he got the AV message (and most importantly he's healthy) ... attention to detail defensively first, work hard, and the offense will come
