Canucks got the first Win. Anyone believe them?
- Thread starter Good-life
- Start date
It was ONE game. And if the Oilers had had a goalie in net this would have been a 6-1 game easily (I had guessed a 9-1 blowout but Jarry ... oh Jarry!)
So I believe they will be a bit better team this year. And I believe that the owner will start rubbing himself gleefully with thoughts of potential playoff revenue. And I believe that the team won't make the playoffs but will probably screw themselves out of a decent early round draft pick.
Canucks hockey. It's predictably mediocre and frustrating.
I view this one as an Oiler loss vs a Canuck win but a win is a win.
And I have always been a fan of Malhotra. If he is given the right tools, he'll shape the team right.
Looking at the NHL news from last night, Babcock did not hold back calling out the pathetic defensive play of his team. Same old same old when it comes to the Oil.
Culture change is needed.

They will be better than last year but by how much depends on Demko,he wont be back tell xmas now.Peterson should be better and the Bro line looks like it will be the top line,Cotter looked good but its a long season 83 more to go.
Sure it was fun but we also beat Calgary 6-1 first game last year
Cotter our new Sherwood
But on a side note, Oilers ain't goin nowhere with Tristan Jarry in net and a McDavid wont be sticking around, Gretzky all over again for them 😂

Yes agreed they didn’t address the goaltending and their defence is still weak …mind u it looks like Bouchard may an early Norris candidate .
What a f'n barn burner tnte
Only 2 games but the boys are showing more fight than any point all last season

What a crazy game last night! The Oilers jumped out to a commanding lead, going ahead 5-0, 6-1, 7-2 8-2 and 8-3 on the 3rt period. Wonder how many fans shake their heads and left before the Canucks staving off a furious comeback. You’d think the scores were a joke, 8-2! How’d it get to 9-7? Best Canucks loss ever and a good game to watch, especially on the 3rd period.
Tough for any team to stay with the Oilers when their offense clicks like it did last night. The Canucks showed real effort and heart to come back as they did.What a crazy game last night!

Mind you
I have been saying this for a long time, the Oilers are not a complete team. Their collapses and pathetic defensive play, goal keeping included has been and is their Achilles heel. The Canucks did exactly what you do when you come across a team like what Edmonton has been in these two games, stay with it, show your heart and you will win. I would go so far as to predict the Canucks to be in the playoffs come spring '27.
