Carol Schram: Chris Tanev returns to action as Vancouver Canucks hit the road in Edmonton Chris Tanev returns after missing three games with food poisoning, but Nikolay Goldobin remains sidelined as he recovers from the flu. The Vancouver Canucks will look to snap a three-game losing streak as they travel to Edmonton to meet the Oilers.

Thanks Carol!

Comets are on fire.....who says Travis Green wouldn't be a decent option with Van next year? He has the ability to work with the young guys as well as vets. Good transition option for Van

Grats BB, hope UND does well & goes far

Thanks Carol!

I'd be fine with TG at the helm.
He knows our roster & seems a good fit for the rebuild.

Thanks Carol,

It will be interesting to see how Tryamkin responds tonight after WD's strange remarks.

5-1 Oilers

He gives me hope (Draisaitl) that you can still draft a phenomenal kid at #3 and have him turn into a star!!

Hunter Shinkaruk has really taken a step back this year. Wow! What a great trade JB

Hopefully Demko gets in a nice PO run.
Then 1 more year at least to be ready to make the jump.

10 of the Nux last 12 games are against teams in the playoffs or fighting for a spot like the Kings...

We should be able to go 3-9 over the last 12 games I think and lock up 2nd last overall...

Yes, he's exactly the type of player this teams needs, hopefully JB can identify him.

Just a personal opinion but I think Buffalo (frank)ed up taking Reinhart ahead of Draisaitl in 2014.

That would be super.

Getting in to the top 3 at the draft would be a huge chance at first overall pick Nolan Patrick.

Anybody have someone different for the first overall? Or he he the consensus pick at one?

I had him as first overall in that draft ahead of Ekblad.

Yup, I like them both but Drai is a (frank)ing beast.

I thought Vegas was guaranteed the 3rd pick?
