CaribouCanuck Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Nashville is probably going to be desperate like were in game 2 as they will be on the verge down 3-1 and the only game they have won is when they played that super desperate style. I do feel good about the fact that the Canucks at least partially mitigated their problems getting offence going by getting traffic to the net and screening the goalie which should make them able to handle that Nashville sheer desperation a little better. I feel like this going to be very similar to game 2 but hopefully with a better result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyone Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I just had a thought...... could Rutherford's big picture plan be : Petey gets "injured" in late January, then makes his return on the first game of the playoffs fully healthy. Thus allowing the team to add up to $11 mill in players at the deadline. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks were dominating, but couldn't score. Canucks can beat them both ways, clearly the better team. That said, the better team doesn't always win in the NHL.

Popular Post -dlc- Posted April 27 Popular Post Share Posted April 27 I feel like they(Preds) have a lot of pressure on them this game. At home after a loss...they'll come out hard but hopefully wear down again. Then we strike. Would be SO fantastic to come back with 2 road wins in our pocket. Just play smart and beat 'em at their own game. 106 shot blocks coming up. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This or Preds score first and Canucks have to turn it on and dominate puck possession and run them out of their own building. Preds can't skate with our team when the Canucks move the puck around fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip The Mesh Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Former Vancouver Canucks defenceman and Hockey Night in Canada analyst Kevin Bieksa shared an intriguing story from his playing days during last night’s game between the Canucks and the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena. As the Canucks faced off against the Predators in Game 3, Bieksa found himself in familiar territory, remembering an incident from the past. Back in 2011, during the Western Conference semifinal series between the Canucks and Predators, Bieksa experienced firsthand the Predators’ attempts to make life just a bit more difficult for their opponents off the ice. One tactic involved blocking off the closest hallway to the Canucks’ dressing room, forcing them to take a longer route. Not one to back down from a challenge, Bieksa decided to respond in a similar way. Taking matters into his own hands, Bieksa orchestrated a retaliatory move by blocking off the Predators’ usual walkway to their dressing room, mirroring the tactic employed against his team. However, there was one exception: a Predators staff member known as Partner, who was allowed access to the restricted hallway. Reflecting on the incident, Bieksa explained the rationale behind allowing Partner exclusive access, stating, “Partner is the gentleman who works for the Preds and we always try to get him on our side as he does the laundry.” Amidst the playful banter, Bieksa revealed another amusing detail about the encounter. When asked if someone had alerted then-Predators head coach Barry Trotz about the situation, Bieksa said, “Somebody tipped off Barry. He came walking down when I was putting the tape across and he was like, ‘What are you doing?’ And I go, ‘Fair is fair. Barry.'” As Bieksa reminisced about the incident, it raised questions about whether similar tactics are still in play during the current matchup between the Canucks and the Predators in 2024. If it is the case as a playful nod to past rivalries or a genuine attempt to gain a competitive edge, it’s stories like these that add a little more entertainment to playoff hockey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree it's all about the win, but the wins are extremely limited when getting sub 20 shots on net and sub 3 goals Like what are the averages for shots/goals this series? I guarantee it's not good. Yeah it's the team we're playing but it's not a winning recipe man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
