Vancouver will win this, guaranteed. I have seen this movie too many times.

Bet accordingly

Wonder why the Canucks didn't just acquire like 8 extra goalies and put them all on LTIR?

Preds in 5

This is very likely after that garbage Game

5-1 Preds tonight

Preds winning 3-2 next Game

Saros is a darn fine goalie, but holy moly, the Preds were blocking a lot of shots last night as well. Nothing was getting through.

Why do I have no confidence in the Preds and their rope-a-dope tactics being sustainable for the entire series?

That third period was a disaster waiting to happen. One shot (the ENG) and like 3 shot attempts in the entire period.

Canucks need shooting practice, if shots weren't being blocked, they were missing the net. Dakota Joshua can't be expected to lead the way offensively every night.

I was watching some post-game coverage last night and some people were blaming DeSmith for this goal, but what the heck is Soucy doing here giving Filip a free pass to the net?

Best I can figure, he was backing into O'Reilly (who was already defended against).

APPROVED

And Juulson was left in the dust in the corner
Got caught on the wrong side of the puck

The Canucks need Buble Demko

I went down to Rogers infirmary
I heard my goalie moan
And I felt so brokenhearted
Nashville might be sending us home

Well I've tried so hard to keep from crying
My heart felt just like lead
Our all star goalie is busted
Just kept wishing it was me instead

Now he on the shelf, yes he's gone
However long it may be
May he have the same doctor as Mark Stone
And be fully healed for game three





/reaching deep into the musical vault.

I'm quite proud of this one, fwiw.

It's a heck of a lot better than that 'one time for Thatcher Demko' sludge

 

[mattola]

Which seems to be always this year

I don't think it's an injury

 

[mattola]

This is funny


I will think Preds win

Regular season is one thing but the playoff games in Toronto used to have a pretty decent atmosphere.

That sounded like a cemetery at some moments.
