Carol Schram: Canucks beat Oilers after cutting 18 players from the training-camp roster

Thanks Carol.

Well done Carol.

Great reporting Carol.

Sutter is looking good.....really good. It is a bit bitter sweet pill as he was so frustrating to watch. If he plays that well all season (and stays healthy) then we have a real deep set of centers. We haven't had that for almost a decade.

Hughes is already getting beat up....+20 games with injuries if they slot him into the line up past October.

It's fabulous having you posting daily again, thanks for your great work.

Thanks Carol

Agree Sutter has looked like he really wants to be back with that effort level. He knows he's fighting for TOI so good on him.

Not worries about Hughes at all. Bad luck getting a stick in the face but that stuff will happen. We can only hope that he doesn't end up injury prone but have no way of knowing that yet. Pretty sure he's gonna be fine and an important part of this season.

Been a nice surprise so far for sure. Really excited to see what the whole group together can bring for pace as exhibition continues

The team shows promise, now it's on Marky to not crap the bed to start the season

Or demko to steal the job, he looks good

I don't put much into pre season. I watched the first period and demko looked good is what I saw and myers was really noticeable in a good way

Thanks Carol great reporting.

So far seen flashes of good play while in all 3 games they were out played. That trend needs to turn around soon.

It was weird seeing a big d man move around and make good plays with confidence lol

Be funny if Buff retires, he's been granted a personal leave to figure out if he wants to continue his NHL career. Winnipeg traded away Trouba and let Myers walk....whoops!

Yeah, that defense looks a lot weaker if he retires. I hope he doesn’t, he’s a unique player that’s pretty fun to watch.
