Canucks Kill Oilers In Edmonton In Preseason Action

The Canucks were all over the Oilers in this preseason game, destroying the home team 5-2. Sven Baertschi had 4 assists. Bo Horvat had 2 goals and 1 assist and Jake Virtanen had 1 goal and 2 assists. 10 points for that line. All that and the heralded Connor McDavid had no points and was a -1 on the night. Beautiful.

The Canucks went 2 for 3 on the power play and were easily better than the Coilers in the giveaway and takeaway stats.

What a beauty. This just further fuels the convo fire of which kid is gonna crack opening season lineup. Cool! We need more debate, AND Oiler losses. We like those! OK, I'm relaxed, it's only preseason......
