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

[bringbacktheskate604]

Neither would consider Nashville lol.

Why not? Maybe it's my SEC bias from college but Nashville is like one of the few cities in the States I'd love to live in. But TBF I fell in love with the South while at LSU but NHL players in polls rave about Nashville as a place they love playing away games in and Brunette is a fun coach that with a few horses can play a fun style.

Stammer would be a great piece to add, so would Sam and both are already in a Southern market.

You are to hard on your team and city. There are tons of Canadians that love the southern culture, the kind hit county songs write about.

Pretty sure there were plenty of 'refs you suck' chants from Preds fans. Pp chances doesn't need to equal if one side is more deciplined. The last cross check was a cross check.

The issue with the last call was they let others go that were more egregious. By the books it was a penalty but let's be real, if refs called every little infraction there would be 20 penalties a game. Plus I don't think that play led to Vancouver getting the puck or out of the zone.
Again I get it was a penalty, but consistency matters.

If I am Stamkos I resign with Tampa buy a yacht and make boats and hoes videos with my step Brother and retire a Lightning legend
Reinhardt should look at his team and realize the cup window is open for at least 5 years and resign with Florida.

I'm actually impressed that the Canucks won without Demko.

Ian Clarke is a wizard, HHOF level goalie coach, he's unbelievable.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Vey happy for my fellow Latvians. Another brick in the wall?

Please show me where anyone has stated they don't want to play here.

Take a break Eeyore.





We need more talent, I said that going in. Our top line is good, our 2nd line is pretty much Evangelista and that's it.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Well, said it before the series that the Preds need the young guys Novak and Evangelista to step up if they want to win.

They had 1 point combined. Especially Novak was a complete non-factor.

You can't expect to do anything in the playoffs if there's no 2nd line.

I specifically was referring to the 2 players mentioned. Yes other players should seriously consider Nashville but it’s hard to see Stamkos or Reinhardt considering Nashville over other situations

It was hard imagining O’Reilly choosing us last season.
I think Trotz tries to find another guy like Nyqusit though.

A fun series to watch from a coaching perspective — both Brunette and Tocchet totally deserve their Adams nominations. Now we gotta watch Tocchet vs McDavid’s kindergarten teacher

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

She loves me.

 

[petterdaddy]

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.

FWIW I recall reading that Silovs is Clarke’s favourite of the goalies. So given that, I think it’s fair to assume Silovs will win 6 Vezinas and never allow another goal again.

 

[JTmillerForA1stLOL]

Weird series. Nashville's stifling defensive play made it difficult to differentiate between Vancouver having anemic offense or Nashville having excellent defense.

 

[Kranix]

Sissons with two weak efforts that lead to the winning goal

 

[winnipegger]

Vancouver didn't look that great. Edmonton is going to have a field day.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

You can blame Scissons for missing an empty net in Game 4 that would have brought this series to a 7th game.

 

[petterdaddy]

A blue line featuring the defensive talents of Darnell Nurse literally doesn’t inspire fear in anyone lol

 

[PettersonHughes]

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

Nothing lmao, I clearly saw your username before commenting
Let's say I said "you guys" for any future Predators fans commenters and leave it at that

 

[jackjohnson]

Is this Silovs coming out party? I see him taking over after Demko

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Respect to the Preds. Being interviewed after being eliminated from the playoffs is one of the toughest jobs in sports. They handled it well. None of them channelled John Tortorella and went ballistic on a reporter. All class.

 

[Rowlet]

After taking a night to consider the series, that was one of the best coaching duels I've seen in a while. There were so many interesting adjustments over the series.

From Tocchet starting by line matching Lindholm to Nashville clogging up all the lanes and letting the Canucks cycle forever, to the Canucks adjusting by using the behind the net space, to the Predators playing the man behind the net, to the Canucks using that to pull their defense away from the front of the net.

This wasn't two anemic teams struggling to get anything going, it was two extremely well coached system teams.

[Tempo]

All that matters is we beat the f***ing refs.

O’Rielly’s brother and parents live in Nashville though
