PRE-GAME RANT

Nothing like going up against a team that has recorded points in its last 14 games (club record) after enjoying our first win after a 7 game skid. The Canucks have gone 12-0-2 in their last 14 contests and look to accomplish their first 8 game win streak since 8 years past. These are the kind of games where some crap team gets to play spoiler, so hopefully the boys are up to the challenge and can send the Sedin sisters home crying. This game kicks off a 5 game road trip for the Oilers, so hopefully a change of scenery is all they need to start winning again as last night’s win was the only of 5 games in a row at home.

Per TSN:
“Gilbert Brule bruised his abdomen, according to head coach Tom Renney, and is day-to-day. … Jim Vandermeer suffered a right ankle injury on Thursday against the Islanders and did not return to the game. He is expected back in a few of days.”

Well this is good news, Hemsky, Vandermeer, and Brule took part in the morning skate although there will be no changes to the line up from last game. Promising news none the less. We’ll be battling the back up tonight with Schneider getting the start. Canucks have a lot of options for offence so hopefully a good team defensive game will be played to limit the amount of rubber sent Khabi’s direction.

I have to keep this one short as I have a pretty busy day today. But, the Oil hope to continue their streak tonight when they take on the Canucks. The Oilers are 7-2-1 in their last 10. They may have gotten lucky in their last game, vs. the Lightning, when Khabibulin stole one for them. The Canucks are 5-4-1 in their last 10. They also won the only regular season game between the two teams, so far, on November 2. The final score was 4-3 for the Canucks. This was of course the game in which the NHL’s most dangerous Mexican, Raffi Torres, scored a hattrick.

I’m going to venture a guess and say the fun ride stops here tonight, for the Oilers.

Prediction: 6-3 Canucks, but I hope I’m wrong.

PRE-GAME

Alrighty folks. Big break again since our last game on Friday, so I’m excited as hell for this one. Just when we get some momentum going, the league throws us a curveball of some time off. Hopefully this hasn’t cause the Oil to cool off. They won big in Chicago (7-4) after putting together a more honest effort (than previous games) against the Flames in a shootout loss. Let’s hope that they keep things going and take it to the Canucks.

Prediction: 5-1 Oilers (I’m crazy) Continue reading 'GDT: Oilers 3, Canucks 4 – Game 10 – 2010-11-02 @ 7:00 PM – SNET'»

Well, the Oilers are now on a big 2 game winning streak, after taking it to Dany Heatley and the San Jose Sharks on Sunday. Those guys are in serious trouble, as they seem to be falling into their annual, end of the year / playoff meltdown already. The Oilers seem to be playing a bit better, in light of having the weight of the world off their shoulders now, and also a bit more improved defensive play, for the most part (despite having a pretty inexperienced crew) – although they definitely need to work on holding a lead, as usual. As far as the Canucks, they seem to be going fairly strong, being 6-2-2 in their last 10.

Vancouver has taken 4 of the 5 games so far this season. I think they’ll likely take this one as well.

Prediction: 5-2 Vancouver
