Game Day Post: Canucks at Oilers
The best way to forget that embarassing loss against the Philadelphia Flyers ever happened? Just get back on the ice and get back to winning. Tonight, the Canucks start a home-and-home, back-to-back weekend set against the Edmonton Oilers.
I expect the Canucks will be a lot better than on Wednesday. Not that that's a tall task, but they simply have to be. Playing with a little more emotion will help, and certainly, paying more attention to detail on the defensive end. An even-strength goal or two would be nice as well. As it stands, the Canucks have scored a grand total of one even-strength goal this season and that happened exactly a week ago.
Here are some preview pieces:
