Winning 4-1 with only 13 SOG has to be a record surely,that's an EA sports type stat line.
VGK just beat the stars 4-3 with only 14 or 15 SOG
I dont think Nashville can block that many shots for 15 more wins. Might get em through the first few games but The Johnny Knoxville defense won't last long.
@@mattysims4323Johnny Knoxville defense lol first time I’ve heard that one. We were off for almost a week. Little bit rusty and will pick up momentum at home. Should be a good rest of the series
@@mattysims4323 thats not true at all. Defense is built on blocking shots and denying the slot. This game was text book defense by the preds.
@@hotdogstandman14 and 15 are still bigger than 13.
I like how whenever the road team scores, the crowd goes so silent you can hear what the players are saying after
Saros stole this game.
Elias Pettersson missing two open nets with no traffic is crazy 😂
And no Demko = no cup !
@@MrManflyPiss off 🤡
@@MrManflycouldn’t see the Canucks beating Florida, Boston, Dallas, or Florida anyway tbh.
Marner of the west!
and the giveaway on the 2nd GA
Saros has really had some big-time rough patches this season but my word… We wouldn’t be anything without him. Totally different creature in the playoffs.
I didn’t think he was this good in game one but game two he was locked in
Beauvillier took that trade personally
Redemption arc. Dude was a 30-40 point player on New York. Just got to a bad start on nucks and Chicago.
@@Deadly_Ricardo_67 He was playing really well for Chicago actually. Just a chance to get more capital tbh.
isle fan.... hes a good player hes very underrated dudes got heart hes a big boost to whatever team he plays for imo
@@matthewblaszkiewicz9063 well and Chicago only has bedard and kurachev who put up points
@@Deadly_Ricardo_67 pretty much haha. Dickinson had a surprisingly good season too. But not your top end roster goal scorer lol.
This is the Predators first playoff road win since April 15, 2019!
We don’t have an NHL goalie and our $12m had a beautiful assist towards ur 3rd goal and missed 2 wide open net shots!
@@AlanGarner1992 We'll see. Still have war Flashbacks to getting owned by Scott Darling in 2015. Still a lot of series left. Good luck gents
@@wittybanter96 its over man has a canucks fan this isnt the team that played during the winter at all. There is no coming back unless demko is playing in the next two games
they will finish Chinucks in 6 games
@@AlanGarner1992I wouldn’t say over still more games left and the Preds could just throw it away you never know
Saros was solid 💪🏻
Different man should bear the name The Rock.
Saros and defense were all solid especially that third period. Saros should have been the first star of the game tbh.
Beyond solid. Dude was god tier today...
From a preds fan, really cool to see the nucks fans give a standing ovation even on a loss. Nucks played great and I'm nervous
If Saros is able to maintain his current form over the course of a season and his team fights in front of him he’s the best goalie in hockey. Nobody reacts to the cross like him. Most goalies just get to the other post. He manages to get there and make a move toward the shooter. Amazing.
Did you watch the Tampa Florida series? Bob and Val having a goalie battle on god mode
@@mitchelldalton7405 Oh yeah. If that one doesn't go at least 6 I'm gonna feel cheated. I wouldn't say Saros is close to that level but consistency throughout a season could get him up there.
The Canucks are doomed without Demko, especially when 40 is a no show.
It's Silovs time
It was hella awkward when everyone was chanting his name and he lets one in. Other than that I don’t think it was his fault tonight. Nashville blocked all our shots and we missed like 3 empty nets.
Not to mention we were 0-3 on the power play. No one to blame but ourselves on this one. We could’ve easily had this game
@@stevocanuck How much did Casey pay you to make excuses for his poor performance?
3 goals after 15 shots 🤣😂🤣
Man DeSmith is so unlucky, I was so happy to hear the chant for him then immediately a crazy tip the redirects completely, Beauvillier couldnt do that for Canucks. I am not sure if it is intentional or not with how the Canucks leave DeSmith hanging on defense, letting anyone just literally skate up to him or leave a man completely wide open on the other side. He really deserves better his confidence has been trampled on like crazy.
idc what anybody says, When Saros brings his A game, he's the #1 in the league, he's faster than anyone, he makes key saves one after another and looks good making these saves, awesome style game sense and technique.
When Saros puts god mode on. It is over.
No DemKo in the other net is the difference
Petterson had one of the worst games. The first chance with the goalie down and out he chosed to make a stupid pass that only a few can handle. Then he misses a wide open net on the 2nd chance. Then he turns over the puck on Preds 3rd goal. Then the rest of the game he just mishandles pucks and loses them in the offensive goal. TERRIBLE.
In defense of DeSmith I can tell he was nervous trying to fill in for Demko, and he did okay it wasn't entirely his fault. The main problem for this game was Canucks god awful power play and it's like they lost steam and commitment after they couldn't score having 3+ power plays. Petterson couldn't wake up tonight either, the whole team fell asleep in the 3rd. Good job to Nashville though, their defense is strong as hell, this is going to be a fun series.
It's the most pathetic and lazy form of criticism that people are laying onto him.
What about the 0/4 powerplays??
What about all those penalties the likes of Zadorov took??
What about Pettersson's performance??
What about the defensive lapses that led to the goals?
What about the fact that they had over 80 shots but had 40% of them blocked?
What about the fact that they only ended up with about 18-19 on goal?
What about the fact that again, they take far too long to create scoring chances, allowing the opposition to set their defence?
We always blame DeSmith, and it's driving me insane.
@@conorcahill5422 Canucks scored one goal. You are not going to win a lot of games with one goal. Pettersson missed 2 empty nets. He's suppose to be winning games for Canucks, but he's costing them, by not scoring and worst of all, costing goals against.
@@conorcahill5422 i feel like people who blame specifically the goalie for the game are the casuals who don’t know much of hockey, it’s easy to blame the goalie on everything.
I’d agree a healthy Demko would’ve performed better, but a lot of people act like DeSmith did terrible, he didn’t. You’re correct on the those other points, Petterson’s performance, canucks power play, and it felt like every shot canucks took wasn’t thought out, they just took a lazy shot everytime after the 1st period while the predators were locked in on that defense.
empty stands in Vancouver, why is it that they don’t believe in the team?
in Winnipeg, sold out
Edmonton Stadium is packed with spectators, super support=Kings torn apart
@@user-vf2un4iz8h The seats were full until the near end of the game, were we watching the same game?
Pettersson had such a horrible game man. He needs to start stepping up his game. There's no way he's worth 12 mil right now
Rookie Petterson > 11.6m Petterson
He never was.
Just not a playoff hockey player
He truely pisses me off. He always has a smug look to him as well. Like get out there and hussle you free loader! He's worth league minimum these past 2 games.
@@deebrandt007🤣🤣🤣
34 shots on goal combined is crazy
Alright I’ll say it.
1. Props to Nashville, your D structure is basically flawless.
2. Petterson is actually a liability. He tries to be too cute. Refuses to shoot. Falls down. Gives the puck away. But most importantly just seems to be unable to play fast paced hockey. With time and space he’s a great player. Without it he looks like an ahl player.
He's coming from SHL, bigger rink, more space and more time. Petey adapted quite fast in his rookie days, but lately he has always been a step behind. Petey's ability was to read the game, but lately it just seems he's not able to.
Nashvilles D structure is flawless lol? They looked like absolute garbage, literally any other team in the playoffs would be up 2-0 and would have annihilated Nashville 7-0 this game. You just blow
@@Nic_Garscum dude they blocked so many shots it wasn’t even funny. They kept most other shots to the outside and were aggressive at the point. Half our zone time is just cycling the perimeter until we force a shot or get stripped.
2nd point is spot on. I cannot believe this guy is signed for 8 years at 11.6m..
Petterson can't play fast? maybe 'Nucks should trade him to Boston! hahahahaha
I've been a Canucks fan since their inception, over the years us old timers have fallen back on a saying you young'uns should get acquainted with; 'There's always next year'.
Yeah, but what a waste of a great regular season.
@@sucraf1 You'll get used to it lol.
Truer words have never been spoken.
Haha...I like that! I heard it for the 28 some odd years I lived in the Vancouver area. Been saying it myself, then I moved away now I don't have to keep repeating myself, in regards to my leaving Vancouver. As for the Canucks....yeah I guess there is always next year!
But they need someone loud with playoff series winning experience inside that room. Not just Tocchet.
Thinking about it 🤔 like maybe a Cory Perry type man...not just boys!
I stopped following the Canuck’s after the 2011 Stanley cup loss. I jumped back on the band wagon this year but I fully expect disappointment. I will never get my hopes up until I actually see them lifting the cup and that’s just the reality of being a Canucks fan.
some great goaltending these playoffs. Nashville was exceptional once again
saros was so good
Preds showed how opportunistic they can be. Tremendous discipline. But they will have to get more of the play to win 4. 13 shots on goal will not do it every night.
Exactly
One loss and all the canuck fans are off the bandwagon lol.
Can we just assess and discuss the game without the same stupid remark
I’ve been a fan since 2005 the fact that they made it here is a big deal I’m just grateful that we get playoff hockey win or lose
@@samslone9457 my assessment is that the Vancouver playoff riot is going to be wild this year
That's Canucks fans.
@@trobertw Than you haven't been invested much. There is always that mention of the riot, getting pretty boring. You obviously haven't seen soccer fans in Europe. You live and die with your team and you riot when the situation calls for it.
Last game the Preds were in the lead and let the Canuck’s comeback. This game was different they got the lead and kept at it! Keep going Predators!
I was praying they would keep the lead they did but still the entire game it felt like the Canucks could come and tie it up
I went to bed right before the 3rd period and I was hoping there would be no comeback because thats what happened the 1st time.
@@Luke13753 yeah game one I went to bed after the second and was quite disappointed when I woke up so I stayed up last night and was not disappointed
Stealing one in a visiting barn is huge in a 7game series, Nashville brings momentum back to an enthusiastic crowd, every series is entertaining and I’d love to see Edm -Van division final, show Tocchet the difference between a regular season series and a playoff series
Moemanncann895 its going to be the same results 😂😂😂😂Edmonton won't get past L.A 😂😂😂
Nashville and Vegas are both way better than the regular season standings show. Could potentially be a western final.
What a disastrous game, We smoked the boards and smoked people all game. Our top line is not playing like a top line at all.
Pros: 80 shot attempts
Cons: 1 goal
empty stands in Vancouver, why is it that they don’t believe in the team?
in Winnipeg, sold out
Edmonton Stadium is packed with spectators, super support=Kings torn apart!!!!!!!!!
Canucks looked so good just couldn't score. They keep playing like this they will win the series.
It's not like the Canucks played poorly.
The Predators spent about 70% of the game hemmed into their own end.
Amd the Canucks had at LEAST 3 "Onigod how did you possibly miss that?!?!" scoring opportunities tonight.
The shots just weren't going in tonight, that's all.
We'll get them on Friday.
Totally agree, this game reminds me of when we played the golden knights in the series where they out played us badly and we somehow stayed in but the better team prevailed. Clearly the Canucks are a super deep team and it’s not just dependant on our goalie we had a lot of chances but it didn’t go our way and that’s hockey. We will get em on Friday. Just believe we got this
Mate the shots haven't been going in for months.
@@jonathanlynch5031 But we've been winning.
That's the much more important result.
The Canucks performed way below their usual level. To a man. Even Hughes and JT Miller weren't connecting on passes, were fanning on shots etc. Add to that a frustrating "collapse on net, get bodies and sticks in shooting lanes" flawless strategy from Nashville and a bunch of really unlucky bounces and that's how the game was lost. As they've done throughout the season, they'll re-focus and bounce back. Looking forward to Game 3. There's a whole lot of hockey left to play and honestly, it's ridiculous seeing so many of these ignorant comments saying it's over already. The series is tied 1-1, it's not like it's 3-0! LOL
@@NeilEvery I was also wondering about what the ice quality was like last night as well.
I've never seen so many guys completely lose their footing and fall while just skating.
Something is wrong with Petey, no way would he miss that empty cage in his life. Hope he can find himself fast
He won't. He's a fraud.
He's got a hip injury from all that money in his back pocket
@@martinleegad5868😂 facts
There is nothing wrong with him. That's just petey. Lazy and soft. He sure robbed the Canucks with his new contract. He's one of the worst players on the team right now.
Petey is moniker given to a solid respected friend. It's a name that is earned!
Ha ha! I absolutely loved it when that prizefighter from 1906 Forsberg just walked in and absolutely roofed one on Desmith. That was nasty!
The thing is the Canucks just let him lol it was awesome
LET'S GO PREDS!
We had at least 10 chances and 80 shot attempts just couldn’t execute any of them…hoping it’s a matter of luck and we bag game 3 if not we are done
Good luck w that, Nashville is much louder
And it will be that much quieter after game 3. Had the canucks executed a quarter of their plays, this game could have easily been 5 - 4, 6-4, etc...
@@felipepineda1585 lol like Rogers arena in the 3rd??? hey whatever makes you feel better eh buddy
Without Demko we’re done. Gg Preds. Hopefully Canucks can take one back in nashville
Pettersson was FAR worse than DeSmith this game.
I mean you could try and not hang DeSmith out to dry so often. Of the three goals he let in one was a tip, another was letting Forsberg walk right in and the last one the puck cleared the zone and then Petterson passed it backwards to the preds. In a game when you needed your defence to be as tight as possible they totally blew it, even with the tip still going in then it's a 1-1 game at the end of the third.
@@oryxland3994 Thank you. At least someone has more sense than those that lay all the blame at the door of our back up goaltender.
Desmith can play some nights, he’s learning how to handle the pressure of being our starter. You’re absolutely right it’s not all on him, we had a lot of chances to score and we just couldn’t put them in. Demko is like the backbone of this team though and I imagine it did have some impact on the players hearing the bad news. But it’s gonna take more than goaltending to win the series. We will see how Casey does in game 3. I don’t expect the same result. Some positives were the pressure we were putting on Nashville’s defense, keeping the play going. Nashville blocked 31 shots. And they were quicker and more collected this game. It should still be a close series.
Just another fake fan, its only the second game and you act like they lost, i will be more concerned if they lose 3, but right now its tied 1-1 /7 , Canucks had this happen in 2011 also and pushed through multiple teams , nothing ventured nothing gained.
Let go Nash! Wasn’t the greatest game. Not a bad first period. A really good second period. And a whole team effort in the third. We got some work to do. Glad we got the W! Let’s go back home and get some more!💛💙
That third period was definitely something not the usual way we play a third just blocking shots the entire time but it worked. Hopefully SMASHVILLE can be alive for them Friday.
Mad skills by Saros, stole that win!!!!
There’s the Canucks we all know and love!
We need to get EP40 into the game, he is a ghost rn. Lotto line needs to be reunited ASAP
We needed to trade him that's what we needed to do. This is the NHL. He's got no heart, balls or grit in his game. How can he succeed. And his stupid helmet looks ridiculous on him it actually makes me mad 😂😂
Как будто Задоров один играл!!!
Canucks were the better team all the way through, but Predators just wanted to block every single shot. Canucks also had over 80 shot attempts as well. Pettersson needs to elevate his game and be better, this lost was on him. Missing an open net, turnover the puck that lead to the 3rd goal, game is different if he doesn't do that.
Desmith exceeded my expectations with his 0.800 save percentage. Good job, Casey!
DeSmith is an AHL goalie.
@@CorryGal 1 of those goals was his fault
Petterson messed up and that tip by Beauvillier was perfect.
Should've bring Silovs instead of Desmith
Yep )) he is a MAN )) 3 goals after 15 shots 🤣🤣
@@sebastiang6986 Only one was his fault?
How much did Casey pay you to write that?
Saros heating up…..does not fair well for the Canucks!
That's what playoff teams do to win.
Did you miss out on Nashville's goals...Nashville's defense?
This team wants to win!! Period!
Predators are heroes to block that many shots
It was great bet they are all bruised up don’t know how substantial it is to block that many every game
nice of the Canucks team finally show up half way through the 3rd. 11.6$ missed 2 wide open nets on the pp.. 1st, saucer passed it to the corner well over every teammate, the 2nd, completely missing the net... and lets not get into the brutal giveaway that lead to the 3rd strangle hold goal. This guy has been a complete liability on the ice since signing his new shiny contact and tonight was by far the worse ive seen form him since donning a Canucks uniform.. Loui Eriksson 2.0 CLEARLY in the making. would rather see brad Hunt suit up instead of this waste... only bright spot on the ice tonight was Zadorov, what a beast.
couldnt have said it better.
Даже палено стреляет раз в год😂😂😂
Love how the crowd tried to support Desmith by chanting lets go Casey too bad he gave up a goal immediately after
im not a canucks fan and that was heartbreaking to watch LOL
@@samslone9457 Oh, shut up. You're just another one of those neanderthals that just jumped on the anti-DeSmith bandwagon for no goddamn reason.
@@samslone9457 Only one Goal was his fault. I wouldn't give up on him just yet
First shot of the game too, that hurt....
It's a sad sad situation... - Saros seems to the hardest word (phenomenal goaltending!)
As a lifelong Canucks fan, I really hate seeing how easily swayed and hot/cold our fans can be. We win one? "Stanley Cup here we come!" Lose one? "Our season is over!!!"
It was a hard fought game and the bounces really didn't go our way. Consider the psychological effect of Demko getting injured that morning. We still have a ton of potential and this series is far from over.
Y'all need to stop crying after each loss.
“Let’s go Casey” 😂😂😂
Petey is such a baby! This contract is gonna kill us!
He is no Sedin that is for sure!
Loui Eriksson 2.0
He's lazy and soft! Absolutely no balls on him too. Idc if he has his clutch moments. He's not worth more than 3 million that's for sure.
He may not be ready for playoffs, but there is potential. The guy helped us get here at least. I know there is potential because we saw a much better version of him in 2020 in the playoffs. I was more in favor of trading him than paying that money. But we did, so maybe he will develop into the player we want him to. There is still plenty of time in the series. It's still tied.
Mitch marner/William nylander of the west. I’d actually argue Peteys worse than both tbh
How quickly things change!
It's a series for a reason, PLAYOFFS!!! Anyway Desmith gets game 3 and if we lose its all up to Silovs going forward. Petey needs to figure this out.
GO canucks!
Who is this Petey guy...your friend?
Silovs should get game 3, 4, 5 and 6 if required
@@PeterJ16 Clearly you don't watch the Canucks,
@@CODLAKAI97 the Canucks need help from experienced playoff guys, accustomed to winning a series. A guy with voice!
Btw...having lived in that city for 28 yrs I have watched more than a game or two.
What a bummer of a game for Vancouver. Glad I had my expectations low, I knew the Preds would come back with a vengeance for this game.
They should get Silovs some playoff experience before its too late. Desmith can’t hold onto a puck
This was painful to watch. So many close calls from the Canucks. The biggest ones were 1:40, 6:39, 8:06, and 8:31.
DeSmith deserves better.
1:40 Petterson knows he needed that. Hopefully he’ll start producing
Can't really blame DeSmith when the defense in front of him was shocking. As for EP40, dropping him for game 3 might be the wake up call he needs.
DeSmith belongs in the AHL! Can’t really blame the offence when your goalie is letting in the first shot he faces. It’s a huge morale killer.
Defo needs dropped, for the sake of the team if anything, total liability both ways.
Elias Pettersson's subpar performance lately reminds me of an over-paid, under-achieving Swede named Louie Ericksson.
Let’s go Preds!! Bring it home now. We will show you home atmosphere
Yes it’ll be great for them especially the players that have never experienced home fans during the playoffs. SMASHVILLE better be alive on Friday
Home ice advantage is not a factor in today's NHL. They should stop mentioning it.
The Predators on average scored every four shots on goal and the Canucks could only get 18 shots to the net.
Nashville blocked 30 shots in a herculean defensive effort that allowed Predators goaltender Saros to earn a .944 SV% highlighted by an incredible pad save.
Anyone else missing Kuzmenko? I sure am.
As a flames fan I’m not! 😂
yall r crazy, lindholm is so much more consistant, hes not a highlights guy but hes doing everything, killing penalties, forechecking, playmaking, defence, kuzy is exciting and fun but way too streaky. only reason u guys r saying the trade was a mistake is cuz you guys only watch the highlights
@@Sam-ty6ho he got like 16 pts in the last 9 games for you guys didn’t he…….Conroy absolutely fleeced Alvin.
Кузя хорошо играл в паре с Петерсеном и эту пару надо было развивать.
13 SOG for Nashville!! Goaltending wins championships
This is a good series
Vancouver fans blaming Desmith is the epic fun.
master class 1v5 for quinn hughes as the rest of the team doesn’t know where the net is.
however good pressure in the 3rd, most likely from a tocchet talk in the second intermission, hopefully a rally will be made as we regroup when we meet them in nashville
I see it's possible...Nashville did that tonight.
But we are talking about the Canucks.
ohhhhh so that’s what the islanders wanted to do 😂
Regroup boys get it back Friday
Great game Petey! Can't hit an open net, might as well cough it up for a Preds goal. Next game just shoot it past DeSmith. 12mil my ass.
He already shot it past DeSmith once tonight lol
Hey Canuck fans, be sure to try the hot chicken when you come to Nashville
-------- Beast Mode - Former Canuck Ryan Kesler ------------
Kesler is widely viewed as instrumental in getting the Canucks past Nashville, their second-round opponent during the 2011 cup run.
The two-way forward earned the nickname “Beast Mode” after racking up five goals and 11 points in the six games it took the team to down the Predators.
“ We could beat you any way we wanted to. If you wanted to out-hit us
we would out-hit you.
If you wanted to skate us into the ground, we would skate you back.
If you wanted to out-skill us, we are up for that, too ,” Kesler said of
his 2011 teammates. ”
----------- “ It was a team that could win any way,
and I feel like this team has a lot of similarities. “ -----------
Go Preds!❤
BEHIND EVERY GREAT VICTORY IS A HARD FOUGHT BATTLE Canucks are a good team keep fighting
What’s with all the power plays it’s crazy how many there calling this year
This game was a crime against hockey... can't believe how little action there was.
Surprised the fans there stayed awake.
That's how the Canucks play. Low event boring hockey
Lets go Preds!!!!!
Goaltending wins series and goaltending loses series. That's what this game shows.
You don't go from missing the play-off's to winning the cup the next year, its rather delusional to think that way. Vancouver had a stellar year for sure, I was waiting for the tires to fall off the bus but it never came. Thank the coach for sure with that one, keeping his team focused. This series isn't over yet. get it done Canucks... I want to see Oilers vs Canucks in round two.
Косатки вам не повезло.
Надо собраться и не раскисать, болею за вас и надеюсь на победу!!!
Ванкувер вперед и больше голов в ворота противников!!!!!
Играть надо очень по взрослому!!!
Get Demko in there!
Not too disheartened by the shoreline. Canucks had PLENTY of shots but looked one dimensional. Think we take one of the games in Nashville
Damn neither team reached 20 Shots on goal
53 sounds better if the preds skaters didn’t block 33! 🤯
If I was only given that blocked shot stat and no other information, I’d be safe to say Preds won
Go Preds go, surely every neutrals favourite?
Both teams looked kinda slow .... Nuks looked sloppy as well. The ice at Rogers is def not the best.
Hughes and big Z were definitely standing out today. What Hughes does with the puck at the blue line is beautiful to watch.
Can we rent Bobrovsky for the rest of the playoffs?
......на воротник
Фортуна улыбалась Нэшвиллу.
And three Canadian team are series tied 1-1 hopefully oilers can go up 2-0 tmw 😁 LGO
If only every Canadian team would get eliminated in the first round. That would rule.
You know they will.
@@elitetrader5468...haha
Sour puss!
Petey wasn’t even targeted by the Preds, like Hughes was by the LTIR Cheaters during the 2020 playoffs, and he still wasn’t even able to make himself noticeable on the ice.
Let's Go Preds!
hell of a road playoff performance
Glad I listened to this one on the radio instead of staying up to watch it. It's piss poor to blame De Smith entirely for the loss. Nashville played a better game and the Canucks were missing a lot of key opportunities.
Hats off to Nashville from a Canucks fan.
Even though we really should have tied it with some guilt-edged chances, in the end, I'm not complaining with the result. Nashville looked the more composed and more up front. Wanted it more.
And I think tonight, we just witnessed the biggest fall form grace for a Vancouver Canuck. Elias Pettersson has sadly exposed himself as a one hit wonder. He cannot handle the pressure that is put on him, especially in these playoff games. If he doesn't step up his game, he will be in serious danger of becoming the worst in history.
Canucks fans NEED to pick a new team to cheer for. The ownership has ruined this franchaise for good. The problem with this franchise starts with the owner, then moves onto management and coaching. You've got an owner who behaves like a child and cares more about his tweets than the actual team.
The problem with the Canucks the past decade was that they never commited to building a cup contending team. So what does francesco aquilini do? Brings in Jim Rutherford. A person who wants to build a cup or bust team. He even said in a phone interview that he doesn't want to commit to a rebuild and wants to speedrun it. So great. Canucks didn't commit to rebuild the past decade, now you put out the same issue again?
So then the problem moves onto coaching. You've got Rich Tocchet who hasn't done much other than have a good regular season. He puts on a tough guy persona, and criticizes his players even when they score hattricks. He benches players for not performing. Yet, he is inconsistent with his benching. Myers creates turnovers all the time, yet he never gets benched. Casey DeSmith is an awful goalie. Yet he still choses to start him over Silovs in a crucial game. This tough guy persona isn't gonna work well once the team goes back to losing next season. Before you know it, he will lose the room and there goes another coach.
How you gonna build a team when half of your team is going to become free agents this summer? Any sort of chemistry built this year will be gone. A cup winning team is built through years of tough playoff losses before they can win a cup. It's not built in one season.
Now that Demko is injury prone, Canucks don't even have a franchaise goalie to rely on. They should have spent time developing Silovs for the future.
All the flaws will be exposed next season when all the excitment dies off. Only will Canucks fans then will realize how badly the ownership has trashed this franchaise.
Night of unfortunate bounces. Canucks got Preds exactly where they want them, thinking they got a chance. Lol!
LETS GO PREDATORS!
4:50 did Pettersson put in his own net ?!?!?
Hahahaha, go predators.
Weird game, 32 shots total combined. Preds with 16 total.. Knuks on goal 2 and 3 had4 players defending from the circle in and on the one goal pinched to the middle allowing Pred to walk out from the boards and score. This series isnt even close on paper and the Knuks are far from playing the game like they have in regular season. Welcome to the playoffs, Preds sure looking like underdoggies going in are rising to the moment. A five game series now panic button is far from being pushed and a lot of hockey left.
Man, I wanted the Canucks to win
I think we should have kept slapping it from the blue line,, clearly working.
Every game Casey de smith plays there’s a 90 percent chance that there going to lose so I would rather watch a movie
Agreed. He belongs in the AHL.
