CRAZY_4_NAZZY

Please split up Hughes and Hronek. They are a defensive mess together. Losing battles and blown coverages all game long.

I, CRAZY_4_NAZZY state my regret of any criticism towards Brock Boeser. I hereby decree, this official handle as C_4_BB6 now. I am not worthy Brock

Beyond Zadorov, all the 5 dman were really really bad tonight. Legit like none of the 5 other dman could move the puck or defend to save their life. Hughes - too slow to move the puck, held onto it too long in a lot of situations and got stripped or out muscled Hronek - couldn't move the puck out the zone numerous of times and lost all his battles Myers - He is so uncoordinated. You either get stellar play or bewildering play from him. Soucy - guy looks lost out there for a 2nd straight game. Missed assignments and making bad reads in all three zones, the worst of the 5 tonight. Cole - just doesn't look quick enough to make the right plays off his stick or reads defensively. Just molasses out there.

Im not sure...I was listening to sportsnet radio and Thomas Drance alluded to having 3 recalls for the playoffs. Im trying to find the CBA language around it but don't see anything to be honest. But usually you don't see many in the playoffs but a mass recall usually. I would certainly hope though that they recall up a lot of guys from Abbotsford. Lots of players deserve it. Would even say some AHL base contracts deserve it too like Chase Wouters and Marc Gatcomb (althought they can't be recalled).

Maybe? The group above are guys who have seen NHL games and are experienced. I believe the recalls in the playoffs are limited to 3 in the postseason. No recalls have been used yet for the playoffs as Silovs and Tolopilo were both used as emergency recalls.

The only thing that would've made yesterday perfect was hearing Shorty make the comeback call. HNIC, ESPN, TNT, and sportsnet french radio do not convey any level of enthusiasm of the spectacular comeback. So monotone and almost disappointed that we did. Shorty is a beauty, miss his calls already. He made round 1 magical to listen to.

Reinforcements for the parent club coming up. Dries, Podkolzin, Karlsson, Bains, Wolanin, Brisebois, Irwin i'd imagine

Pettersson and his line need to start contributing or this series becomes a short one in Edmonton's favor. Petey seem to find his legs a bit late in the series as did Hoglander and Mikheyev. But we can't afford them to have another slow start to this series. We need everyone all in and they are the lone trio that hasn't really made a mark this post season. We need more from them, and its time they show up in a big way Wednesday. Pettersson is the big swing factor in this series. Miller and Lindholm I think can win their matchup against McDavid and Draisaitl but thats when we need to capitalize on Pettersson vs McLeod.

Players are getting in their own way. Poor execution on the powerplay, self-inflicted penalties because they stopped moving their feet or lack of discipline, and just sloppy plays in the ozone leading to one and done plays. This team's lack of offensive depth is getting exposed but a hungry and tenacious Predators team. They simply wanted it more.

This has been a horrific second period. This team can't seem to get a grip here

Canucks still tied with the Preds inspite of their number one powerplay unit. They are making this game far too complicated for themselves.

Forsberg diving like a princess

Pettersson needs to be moved to another line. Mikheyev and Hoglander aren't doing a lot to support him.

It was reported that Jett Woo had a fractured Ankle. 4-6 weeks recovery. Abbotsford's round 2 starts Wednesday I believe. Woo is still likely another week or two away from being ready to come back, but likely won't be back until the division finals (if the Abby Canucks get there). AHL series' are shorter in the first two rounds (best of 3)and then best of 5 in the final 2 rounds before a 7 game series in the final.
