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

[notsocommonsense]

Nashville is getting almost every break so far

Yea, they’ve gotten more bounces tonight but the Nucks have only themselves to blame for dogshit execution all night

 

[Raistlin]

A cannot believe after 2 periods they got 12 shots. Just freakin blast the point shots into the blocking players. Eventually you'll cut them all down.

Agreed, canucks top players all don't look like they even want to shoot the puck minus miller, and he's trying to do it all himself which always ends poorly

 

[Raistlin]

Vancouver not getting any breaks tonight.

Biggest break being not surrendering 3 goals on 7 shots.

Nashville playing a bold game, they keep blocking 30+ shots a game and they risk injuries.

I'm watching both games and Canucks are playing just like the Jets. Seems like they're just not interested in winning. I know they both want to win but somethings lacking in both teams chemistry with linemates.

Zadorov EP and Hronek should be the ones blasting it on goal, if they want to block it like they have been, good luck with that.

They look a bit mentally frustrated, instead of going for the net they are trying for re-directed tip shots due to Nashville clogging the lanes. I do agree they should just start hammering pucks down the middle

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Nashville reminds me of the bubble Canucks. Relying on puck luck

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Elias Pettersson is playing like a minor leaguer out there. Looks absolutely brutal.

 

[5 14 6 1]

That was a butter soft call on Nashville at the end of the second

 

[Three On Zero]

Cassie Campbell looks like she’s aged 20 years in just a couple years

Hard to do anything but laugh at how bad DeSmith has been, most of this game has been controlled by Vancouver

I think she has totally stopped dyeing her hair

I think she has totally stopped dyeing her hair

And embraced the wrinkles

LOL @ Casey DeSpaz.

Somewhere, a sad Hextall/Petry/DeSmith supporter is reconsidering what garbage pile he put all of his trust in.

 

[RedRocking]

That’s one way to try and even up the goalie situation

Same guy who let 8 in against Minnesota

Running Saros. Dirty.

I’ll never understand why people throw each other on their goalies, pure stupidity

Really hope DeSmith can get his sh*t together (enough) to get you through until Demko comes back.

 

[William H Bonney]

Pettersson has been really poor in these opening two games, not surprised if Tocchet is indeed sending a message

 

[Three On Zero]

Unlikely, he’s going up against Saros at the other end with a top notch defensive system. DeSmith would be fine against a team like Edmonton that tries to play offensively and makes a ton a mistakes. Nashville is too defensively sound

 

[Xirik]

Holy cow did both teams decide to adopt the Islander strategy? My god the shots are low.

Yea, well, we’ll see. Playoffs will be lessened without this fun Nucks team.

2nd game in a row. Worst series so far. Other teams are out there putting up more shots and scoring chances per period than either of these teams are per game.

You'd think Nashville would be motivated with Demko out but they're still trying to 0 event their way to another win, even after it cost them game 1.
