Let's start with the big picture.
This is the Battle of British Columbia, always electric.
What's the biggest storyline for us heading into Friday night?
The storyline is confidence mixed with scrutiny.
We talked about this on Wednesday.
They're looking to prove that the Pacific Crown isn't handed out before a single point is scored.
Right.
Speed through the neutral zone.
If Vancouver can get pucks deep and pressure the defensive zone entries, they can expose any lack of experience in the bottom six forwards.
So it's a test of that bottom six resilience we mentioned yesterday.
And then there's the goalie battle.
We predicted Joey Dackard would start last week.
But does Grubauer want to make a case?
Oh, absolutely.
Preseason games are often about proving worth.
If Dackard looks sharp, he locks it in.
If Grubauer shows up, the competition heats up again.
Being first in the division gives them something to protect.
