Sept 22 GDT - Canucks vs Oilers in Edmonton 6pm - TSN

[Southern_Canuck]

Pinozzotto vs Alex Plante... both landing punches, but Plante with the size advantage...

Fight night in Edmonton - at least that suits the roster - next Schroeder vs. Eberle?

With the 2-man advantage just over, it's a nice passing play Ebbett to Mancari to Nolan who slams it home.

1-0 Canucks

Speculation: Duco fight next...?

Horcoff is terrible

Cody stronger and faster.

Close s_c, Duco went for Hall

And we have a winner...sort of...Duco wanted to go... and he had no problem going with Smyth LOL

[Southern_Canuck]

Ummm... how did the Canucks end up 2-men short?

Bad call on Sulzer for holding - clearly an even up.

Then Duco gets a double minor for basically hitting Hall, whereas Peckham only gets a 10 min misconduct for coming off the bench?

NHL refereeing at its best.

OK - how much did Nolan help his cause by scoring on the powerplay?

Possibly an option for the "front of the net" role on either the 1st or 2nd unit?

I don't think any of the other fringe NHLers competing for the 4th line can play that role as well as Nolan... so I think that's a big positive for Nolan's quest to make the team.

Hodgson has play 4:32 in the 1st period...that's about what he gets for a game when he's called up

[Southern_Canuck]

Hordichuk running around - tries to take out Pinozzotto against the boards near center ice but misses.

Same old Hordichuk.

TSN shows he got 6:08 in the 1st ~ averages out to 18 or so. Not bad provided he plays well enough to justify it.
Here's hoping...

Wooo hoo! He's looking good and making his case. I'm happy for CoHo, I really like the kid.

Lack leaves the game with 10 saves on 10 shots - not too many great chances against, but has yet to allow a goal in his two appearances in the pre-season.

Canucks 1 for 4 and Edmonton 0 for 3 on the powerplay...

Probably time for another fight soon.

Duco beats Danis on his own rebound shorthanded...!

Who knew?

2-0 Canucks

Oh. Now Eberle scores with Parent and Baumgartner both backing in.

2-1 Canucks

We have a hobbit in net.

Fedoruk and Hordichuk trying to improve on their square dance from earlier.

Fairly even.

How much Hordichuk could a Fedoruk chuck if a Fedoruk could chuck anymore? Goodbye Todd, and good luck.
