GAME DAY: Oilers @ Canucks

The Canucks and Oilers go back to back tonight, and the first home appearance of the season for the Canucks gives the fans a look at a number of new faces tonight at GM Place. Darcy Hordichuk will make an appearance on the 1st line with Henrik Sedin and jannik Hansen, while the much anticipated 2nd line has Pavol Demitra and Steve Bernier centered by this years 1st round draft pick Cody Hodgson. Alex Burrows is on a 3rd line with Mark Cullen and Alexandre Bolduc and newcomer Ryan Johnson centers Mike Brown and Micheal Grabner. Luongo will get the start in goal for the first half, with Sanford playing the 2nd half for the Canucks. The Oilers iced a lineup that will probably look like the one they will start the season for them, minus just a couple notables like knuckledragger Zach Stortini, so you can expect him and Hordichuck to renew aquaintances tonight. At press time no word on the Oilers line up and once again the game is available on Rogers Sportsnet, team 1040 and streaming on Canucks.com. Being the shameless homers that we are, we're gonna call the Canucks on this one.
