Pre-Game Report: Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks
The Edmonton Oilers visit Rogers Arena on Saturday night for another Pacific Division clash this week against the Vancouver Canucks. It’s the first time these two teams have met since the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs where Edmonton bested the Canucks in game 7. Edmonton’s PK is ranked last in the NHL (59.5 percent) and has seemingly failed to find the necessary stops at critical moments, allowing a PPG in five straight games with at least one against in 11 of their 14 games this season. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl hope to carry the offence for the Oilers, which is ranked 30th in the League.

I sure hope we can beat the Vancouver Cucks, I mean Canucks!
๐ฟ
Hello austin, i just gotta say our pp has been terrible. our last 2 4 minute powerplays we got like 4 total shots. Also im not that far into the video so i dont know if you mention this but boeser is probably not going to be playing. So this will be a close one!
Got a bad feeling about this one – Vancouver playing very well, starting to click and connect. Hoping on some random prayer oil can get it together tonight
Other than saying that their PK will be awful, it is impossible to predict what the Oilers will do tonight. Who will be playing against Vancouver? Dr Jekyll, or Mr. Hyde? Will Hyman keep on extending his scoring good trend? Will Skinner have one of his 'good' games? And what about McDavid? Many questions… ๐คจ
Lankinen plays poorly against Edmonton (VAN should actually play Silovs, despite his terrible start) but heโs also undefeated this season. Edmonton will need a hero and they just might have a few.
Regarding Nuge- he still has more points than Heiskanen (whom I also have in my pool) and he is not the main factor in our poor offensive showing. I agree he should move down the lineup and come off the powerplay until he finds his game.
Edmontonโs key to success: start a fight!๐
Oilers lose to vancouver 6-2
Vancouver unfortuneately are the better team so far this year
go canucks go!
Oilers fan from Vancouver here, I canโt wait for this one ๐ will be bringing both jerseys and whoever is ahead Iโll rep LOL
Good luck tonight Oiler friends! ๐
plenty of time to get back to the playoffs. Letโs focus on moving forward now and get things back on track. We got this.
Hey Austin started checking you out last playoffs. I've been a Canuckle-head for way too long. I appreciate your prediction but I'm sure you're doing some reverse psychology mojo ๐๐
Canucks swept the California series for the first time ever so we seem to be firing on all cylinders.
For players to watch the Van media is already preparing a statue of Quinn Hughes, comparing him to McDavid and has the Hart trophy locked up. They are not far off. His control of play is staggering, has improved his shot and has not been hit all year.
Good to see Podz doing well. It was just a numbers game to get rid of him so most Canucks fans are rooting for him, even tonight if he pots one, we will be happy ๐
Cheers dude. Hope we get an exciting and close game ๐
Hey Austin if Trump ends up getting rid of income taxes, do you think it will ruin Canadian teams ability to sign and retain star players?
As a Oiler fan I don't expect they will win! Better start Pickard cause Skinner gets dumb founded around the Canucks.
This one will be tough. I don't think Joshua is playing. We just lost Boeser and of course we all know about Demko. Overall Van is outplaying Edmonton this year but we're quite shorthanded. If we both play out best game I'm not quite sure if Vancouver can match. If you play to the level you did against Vegas or worse I think Vancouver wins. If you play better than that we likely lose.
Atleast we practiced the PP and Pk all week so if we lose tonight we are absolutely in trouble this season. But on the positive side we have to play the game and find out! Lol
