After dropping a 4-1 decision to the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night in Salt Lake City, the Vancouver Canucks' preseason schedule continues against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.

I think there is going to be a lot of regrouping done this year.

dbot does live in a different hemisphere.

This lineup certainly doesn’t instill confidence for a win over the oilers lineup, oh well bottom 3 finish.

I've been wanting to see Boeser and Pettersson. Baertschi back with Horvat. Goldobin keeps dropping down the line up. That defence can't be so horrible every game can they?

Turned that game off last night after the markstrom penalty and listening to the kings broadcasters

4-2 Canucks

Gaudette/juolevi/demko sitting. All assigned to utica after the game?

I hope so. 4-3 oilers. I expect EP and boeser to pot a few together.

I liked Boeser and Pettersson on the PP, but I’m not sure Pettersson is ready for 2nd line centre duties. But we will never know unless they try him there.

I think that Leipsic is close but still not NHL ready, Eriksson needs a career ending injury. Not nice to say that but, he is not a desired player in any trade.

I can see Hutton and Tanev logging big minutes tonight, and I can also see our defense getting burned by the oilers speed.

The direction that Vans players take have them always just waving their sticks at the puck.

Other teams seem to find loose pucks more often. Van players are just never in the right places.

Nilsson still blows...EP has had a few nice defensive plays already. Kid is damn smart

Needs to stop dropping to a knee.

I'm disappointed in you bro, mom didn't raise you to be so uncouth.

I'm glad he is on the top line, it's the best way to get some value out of him IMO.

Definitely going to be a long year.

I like Stechers game so far

Imagine having one of the worst Defenses and goalie tandems in the entire league... then bringing them ALL back the following year. :S

Trump hates that.

"Canuck goaltending last year, not great"

I know, I know, this is just between us though right, and good luck getting any value at all.
