GDT: Canucks at Oilers Friday Oct 17 6:30 PM SNP SNV

Post by donlever »

CANUCKS (2-0-0) at OILERS (0-3-1)


Season series: The Vancouver Canucks' top line of Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin and Radim Vrbata combined for seven points in a 5-4 shootout win against the Edmonton Oilers on Oct. 11. Edmonton led 4-2 before Vancouver tied it with two power-play goals.

Canucks team scope: Vancouver has 76 shots on goal in its two wins; Vrabta has two goals on nine. After being off since defeating the Oilers, the Canucks play again Saturday at home against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Coach Willie Desjardins would not reveal if goaltenders Ryan Miller and Eddie Lack would split the back-to-back, the Vancouver Sun reported. Miller has an .889 save percentage but two wins. Rookie forward Bo Horvat practiced Thursday but it is unknown when he will return from a shoulder injury to make his NHL debut.

Oilers team scope: Edmonton has allowed 5, 4, 6 then 7 goals in its four games. Goalie Viktor Fasth (groin) is on injured reserve, leaving the net to Ben Scrivens, who allowed six goals on 29 shots in a 7-4 loss to the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday. Forward Taylor Hall had two goals and an assist in that game, and was plus-2. Jordan Eberle had two assists returning from an undisclosed injury. Forward Leon Draisaitl, the third pick in the 2014 NHL Draft, had an assist for his first NHL point. Defenseman Darnell Nurse, the seventh pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, made his debut this week.

If I'm the coach I'm going with Lack, never play your number one in the other guys barn..

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

In North bay Ontario will watch the game 3 hours later than the rest of you. I can say that after staying here for a week watching the Nucks and working will suck.

The late nights would kill you.

Also, man are houses cheap here. My townhouse is more expensive than this house which is bigger, with huge land.

Anyways Nucks better be better than the last game in their own end.

Nucks win 4-1

Here, a feel good for y'all..

Hot off the presses (mere moments ago)..



On behalf of everyone at Canucks Sports & Entertainment, I want to take this opportunity to thank you and to celebrate a truly amazing accomplishment we’ve achieved together. On opening night vs the Edmonton Oilers, we reached 474 consecutive sellouts. It’s your loyalty and passion for the Canucks that helped fill Rogers Arena every night, beginning on Nov. 14, 2002 with a 3-2 win over the LA Kings.

As a Season Ticket Member, we wanted to let you know first that our sellout streak has come to a close as the longest active streak in the NHL and one of the most extensive in professional sports. It’s an amazing achievement and it’s been a truly remarkable ride, filled with some of the most exciting moments in Canucks history.

We are a strong franchise with a competitive team and bright future. With a season ticket base at 97% of what we had last year, we still anticipate many sell outs. And for those games we don’t, we’ll be using this opportunity to donate tickets to kids and community groups who won’t otherwise be able to experience a Canucks game live.

On a personal note, I can tell you that the past six months have been some of the most positive I’ve experienced since we opened Rogers Arena back in 1995. And the momentum continued into the first two games of the year. It’s a long season, but it’s been an exciting and refreshing start as we open a new chapter for our team.

I want to reemphasize that our goal remains the same. We’re focused on winning and to continuing to make you proud – to reigniting the excitement for Canucks hockey in our city. I know I speak on behalf of the Aquilini family and Trevor Linden when I say we are 100% committed to putting you at the forefront of everything we do.

If we do that, I believe we’ll be talking about many memorable games and a new sellout streak again very soon.

Sincerely,



Victor de Bonis

How is the "sellout streak" over if they haven't played another game at home yet?

I'm confused.
