Let's take some time to appreciate the fact that YOUR Vancouver Canucks are currently 21-9-2 through 32 games and are sitting 2nd overall in the NHL.

Something something "tough game" something something "must win"

This.

Looking at the Preds lineup.... it's terrible on paper. 

 

With that said, 

 

I smell a loss.

Erudite, insightful, inspirational, educational, transformational...

Canucks have looked tired on this trip. Hopefully they're settled now and ready for tomorrow with some energy. Keep the train a rollin'

[NHL Tyranny]

Preds are on a streak. Nuks will break it and bring them back to midland middling reality. I look forward to watching Kuzzy and Pettey ramp up their play before the home stand.

Another tough test for the boys. I want them to be methodical, business like about their game. Hit with intention but avoid penalties.

Beauty GDT @John.Tallhouse! Thanks.

 

Supposedly a day off; wonder if Tocchet would have preferred a practice day?

Whatever it takes. 

GO CANUCKS GO!

Actually in the scheme of thing this game is pretty average, not really that much of a "must-win". Even the last two weren't really that meaningful for me - two bad teams, b2b, early starts.

 

It'll be nice to beat Nashville but not fussed if we lose. The biggest game is the one after that - Dallas in their barn. That's a must-win.

 

Not sure how Nashville have found a way to hum along and do so well despite so many middle-of-the-table stats. They've got a couple of stars, sure, but they're not a fantastic team, yet they're exceeding poor expectations.

Just win...

We always seem to play Nashville and Dallas well. Let's hope that continues.

3rd game in 4 days with travel

It will be tough

A point out of it would be nice, but I predicted 4-2 Canucks win anyway

Just because 

[Nucker67]

Canucks have had slow starts to games, sometimes barely any shots. They've looked rusty and tired in the first, but then they seem to pick it up in the 2nd and 3rd, and look like a completely different team. But, as long as they're getting points in games, there's not much to complain about.

Your definition of a must win might be a little loose--like those Falls Creek evenings from way back. It'll be 4 games in 6 days for a team that's already a bit overstretched. Would be nice but not much would hinge on it, especially if they can get a W tomorrow.

This is exactly how I’ve felt about NSH since the early Vokoun days haha - just a defense and goaltending factory

They'll be better now that there in Smashville. Real nice hotel with all the amenities. I think the Wild had them in a 1980s original motel 6.

4-2 canucks. I score the winner
