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!
