Post-Series Talk: Vancouver Canucks defeat the Nashville Predators 4-2

Not if they don't score some goals.

Not like oilers have the same D and goalie as Preds lol. We scored against preds so we will score a lot against the oil spills

 

[Zaddy91]

I remember hoping for Nashville over LA/Vegas down the stretch. Compeltely under estimated them and feel like we were lucky to win.

Wow, Silovs out dueled Saros.

Is this kid for real?

He is. If Demko continues to be injury prone I don't think Vancouver can give him the big contract he'll be looking for in a couple years and Silovs will be next up. He's the goalie of the future. Or Demko takes a good value contact and the Canucks platoon he and Silovs a la Boston with Ullmark and Swayman.

the oil cant defend us. easy goals coming soon.

GG Nashville. There’s a reason the Preds were the top team in the second half of the season, they played well.

Some may look at the low scoring and shot totals and call the series boring, in reality the series was a battle that was tightly fought to the end with not much given up by either team.

The only people that thought the series was boring or low scoring was bad are juveniles and kids. There were hits, physicality and excitement that the next goal wins.

It felt like OT all the time.d

This series could have easily gone 7. Have to give the Preds a lot of respect. Class organization with some of the classiest fans in the NHL

Yep. Preds fans are ****ing awesome and love their hockey. Some of the best in the league.

3 games, 5 goals against, 0.938 sv%

 

[Baby Pettersson]

I genuinely enjoyed this series.

 

[NailsHoglander]

Hated every second of it

 

[kanucks25]

Sissions was easily one of the 5 best Canucks in this series.

Vancouver boy was loyal.

Bubble Silovs?

 

[eviohh26]

He did very little. Nashville rarley got a shot on net harder than a pass.

What you smoking.

Literally the VGK radio guy called the Nashville - Vancouver game 'boring and dull' tonight, while his game was exciting after 2 periods. Really.

I mean...it was objectively very ugly, low scoring, low shots, low event, ultra structured, grinding hockey. It was not all that pleasant to watch. The only thing that made it enjoyable was being an invested fan.

For anybody objectively assessing from the outside, it was probably pretty darn boring...and you can tally up the the goals to realize that it was in fact, objectively "low scoring" by the metric of...counting the goals. Which even most juveniles and kids can do.

 

[Janvonpobben]

Demko is obviously not needed

 

[kanucks25]

Demko is obviously not needed

We'll see how Silovs fares against a potent offense.

 

[Nuck Bonino]

quite impressive how the preds didnt take a single penalty in an elimination game

 

[PettersonHughes]

Game management at its finest there at the end. If they’d called the rest all night, sure, but to do that in the last minute annoyed me greatly.

Unlucky Nashville. Weird series. We were better tonight.

Sorry but better is debatable. You guys had a 4 minute double minor in the 2nd and couldn't muster up anything, the best chance was Petey going high glove on Saros while shorthanded. Vancouver was getting some chances but Saros was slamming the door until Suter broke through.

 

[PettersonHughes]

Frankly both teams played awful, if these two teams faced most of the other teams in the West (e.g. LA even) I think they'd be going golfing instead, but give credit where it's due, the boys showed up when needed and pulled through. Just hope Petey can bump his slump against McD and Leon, they could really use it.

 

[nuxnux1]

Neutral fans stat checking need to gtfo, watched every second of every game and it was a defensive chess match out there, neither team was giving an inch of ice up. Well played preds.

 

[gianni]

Underrated series between the best team in the league for most of the year vs arguably the best heading into the playoffs.

Two Jack Adams Award finalists matching up, two Norris Trophy finalists going head-to-head, and elite goaltending on both sides.

 

[HockeyWooot]

The more I think about it, the amount of shot blocking by the Preds was quite insane. Seriously impressive.

Also I was less familiar but the bottom 6 group looked good out there.

 

[Oliewud]

They are gentlemen

Pps were 22-13 preds

What about my post or username would indicate that I’m a Preds fan?
