After that good Dallas performance it would really be nice to see us stomp the Canucks. Big test to see how quickly this team can just be satisfied with themselves and start taking things for granted again.

Canucks with a huge comeback win last night then had to travel. Hopefully they are physically and emotionally drained for tonights game.

The Canucks played last night. Got in late. They are missing their starter. They can score and have a decent PP but their defense isn't very good and their PK is dead last in the league. This is a game the Oilers have to win.
Interesting that they healthy scratched Bear last night.

I read this and I'm like, hmm, is Bear a Canuck or Kraken, so had to google. I very much missed the trade back on October 28. If either guy works out, this deal is a steal for the Canucks. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/canucks-acquire-defence man-ethan-bear-from-hurricanes/
The Vancouver Canucks have traded for defenceman Ethan Bear from the Carolina Hurricanes. Carolina will also send minor league forward Lane Pederson in exchange for a 2023 fifth-round draft pick while also retaining $400,000 of Bear's salary in the deal.
Interesting read from the network of sites that includes OilersNation talking about last night's healthy scratch:

Either way, sounds like the Canucks D is really thin and they should be tired with their starting goaltender still out injured to boot. Will the Oilers yet again play down to the competition?
I'll be watching this one at a pub with close to equal numbers of fans for both fanbases. Hope I am on the receiving end of the likely beer bets placed before puck drop!

I also missed the trade with Bear
Interesting. Canucks honestly are not a bad team this year. They have played some very good games at times against some tough competition. They remind me of the oilers minus the talent. They seem to play to their competitions level at the best of time though. They can lose to anybody but they can also beat a lot of the top teams. This should be a good game with hopefully the oilers coming out on top.

I don't pay a ton of attention to the Canucks but I thought I read Bear was playing alright for them so when I saw that on twitter, I was surprised.

Oilers lines
Hyman - McD - JP
Foegele - Drai - Yamo
Janmark - Nuge - Kostin
Holloway - MCLEOD - Ryan
Nurse - Ceci
Kulak - Barrie
Niemo - Bouchard
Skinner
Campbell
I didn't expect McLeod, I thought everyone was saying he wouldn't be back until maybe New Years so that's a nice surprise. Think the Oilers are actually dressing 12 legit NHLers for a first time in awhile. I am digging the 4 centers. Pretty deep group there.
