A brand new Vancouver Canucks season will begin tonight against one of the league’s elite teams, the Connor McDavid-led Edmonton Oilers.
The Canucks are expected to be a bit less painful to watch, as speedsters like Sam Gagner, Brock Boeser and Michael Del Zotto try to make the Canucks a bit more competitive. The Oilers — who were one win away from reaching the final four last season — will provide a great challenge for these “rebuilding” Canucks.
Things have changed between these two. For nearly a decade, the Canucks pummeled the Oilers and it usually led to division championships.
