KNOW THY ENEMY
-The resurgence of Nikolai Khabibulin. (Oilers home site). Khabby has been superb for the Oilers. He has a 0.72 GAA (1st in the NHL with goalies having played more than 1 game), and a .969 save percentage (2nd in the NHL with goalies who have played more than 1 game). Devan Dubnyk has been solid as well. Just...not against the Canucks.
-The only game in which the Oilers allowed more than 2 goals against was in their 4-3 loss to the Canucks on October 15. So while they are surprisingly 30th in the League in goals for, they are taking care of business in their own end as well.
-Ben Eager should be in the lineup this time around. Whatever. But the Oilers will have Ryan Whitney playing for them this time against the Canucks. Whitney is the horse. The quarterback. The point-getter. Oh, and add Sam Gagner to the list. So this is a better Oilers squad than what we saw last meeting.
CANUCKS MISC
-The Canucks' special teams is slowly improving as the games go on. 5 on 5? Not so much.
-All eyes will be on the newbie David Booth. Line 2 is going to be a thrill to watch. Now let's see how long it takes Booth to get going.
-Intriguing is Cody Hodgson being demoted to the 3rd line with the arrival of Booth and the stellar efforts of Chris Higgins. Cody on a checking line. Let's see how he does there. He was benched for much of the Canucks' last game, a 4-3 win over the Wild.
VIDEO
-David Booth talks about joining the Canucks and leaving his team and family back in Florida. (hat tip to Shand for the Fan Shot)

How about America "Fuck Yeah" for that video Semi? Or use the killer software to turn the "F" into a "P"
The Oilers will get a goal at some point to give the Occupy Luongo guy ( is it not enough time for that? Send someone down from “Season ticket renewals” for a little chat? Use that superfull waiting list as a subtle reminder ?) something to bitch about, but that is it.
4-1 again. The Team America line gets two( Booth scores in his first game ), including Ryan Kesler on the power play for the winner.

Sicne no one seems to be
running away with the prediction thing early on and I haven’t even bothered yet I am going to predict today. It might be my only one all year but I think if I get it right I could win the whole thing. Cause you all are so hopeless.
5-2 Canucks. Booth FTW.
No one else pick that score and winner combination or I will PA3 your ass.

I’m trying to give people a head start before I pick it up to defend my title.

I gave them like 6 games
before I started guessing. And I might only guess once a week or so. I feel I will still win.

2-1 Nucks
Kesler GWG
Booth and Higgy with the assists!
This year.
Goaltender is a normal job. Sure. How would you like it if at your job, every time you made the slightest mistake a little red light went on over your head and 18,000 people stood up and screamed at you? - Jacques Plante
4-3 Nucks
CoHo demoted and MAD! CoHo GWG and ends the night with 2 goals and an assist.
Booth gets a helper on a Kesler wrister.
But yeah CoHo MADD!!
Since I suck at this...
Here is my prediction. Noone else should choose this one, because it won’t happen. Apologies if you already have.
3-1 Vancouver. Higgins GWG. Because why not? Ryan Nugent Hopkins gets a single assist on Edmonton’s goal. It becomes the new ‘hat trick’. Hats fly, no delay of games are awarded, and if Mark Lee is around, he swoons with infatuation when Nugey Hopkins takes off his helmet and shakes out his hair.
I think that covers everything.
"I'll play on one leg, I don't care..."
2-0 Canucks
Booth with the winner, because FUCK YOU HORDICHUK

Salo GWG…….Mark Lee reports it as a win for Edm as RHN touches the ice.
Now that Sammy is gone, who will tell Sweden to fuck off?
has there
been any sign Ballard may get second unit PP time now that Sammy is gone and Salo is on the #1 unit?
Also, I may have missed it, but did AV ever give any indication why he split up Juice and Hamhuis?
He never said it that I am aware of. He just did it, AV style
