WCQF - Game 2 - Vancouver Canucks vs. Nashville Predators, 10pm ET, ESPN2

[Caboose]

Feels like I'm watching a different game from many posters here, Canucks have dominated the play. They have had many many more high danger chances, wide open nets, break aways, point blank chances. They just cannot hit the net and convert.

With even average shooting they would have run Nashville out of the stadium both of these games.

That makes one of us!

Also, a nice shot by Zadorov.

Hockey is meant to be entertainment, why get hung up on how a team performs? Take the good with the on ice circus and you’ll be in a much better place

 

[Ol' Jase]

Crazy the each team in the Avs-Jets have more shots than these two teams combined.

That’s pretty soft. Nucks better figure out a way to take advantage of that gift

1st was a fluke deflection that goes in 99% of the time.

2nd was an elite goal after the entire Canuck team let Forsberg walk in completely uncontested.

Canucks are playing terrible. It happens. They have to get pucks to the net in droves to have a hope.

1) A good goalie may not make the save, but he hasn't completely lost his net with no chance either.

2) No need to open up the short side with a right-handed shot and a defensemen covering the middle. He wants to shoot there. Make him deke backhand to the middle.

That type of penalty call doesn’t belong in the playoffs, soft as baby shit.

I agree but Preds are blocking everything.

They missed the EP slash on the hands while on the powerplay I guess.

Something AHL level goalies learn

[Divine]

Hughes happy to kill the clock like they're not down 2

Strange decision

Vancouver not getting any breaks tonight.

Saros and specials teams are the turning point of this game. Can’t go 0/5
