WCQF- Game 3 Vancouver Canuck @ Nashville Predators 4/26 6:30PM CT

[tny760]

Nyquist has got to put that puck on the ice and hope for a rebound.

hero play

he knew he f***ed up immediately but i HATE excusing selfish plays like that, that had to go to the crease and let them jam it in

 

[Hammer79]

He was mediocre. Predators have no offense.

Yeah, who are those Josi and Forsberg guys anyway?

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Well that was a brutal watch.

I will however, take it and run.

Casey DeSmith with a great performance. Despite half of our board ripping into him for the last 3 days.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Gutsy effort by VCR. Kudos to DeSmith, the backup, coming in and doing yeoman's work.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Press choke the same way Canucks choked in game 2

You know Canucks will dominate G4

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Id say Vancouver got lucky. They were out hustled all day and outshot horribly. DeSmith won that game more than the preds choking.

Preds had nothing offensively till the last 5-10 mins of the game, Canucks were awesome defensively & won the special teams battle.

 

[Oliewud]

wow that was an easy win nashville isnt very good

and we won with our backup LOL

 

[Rowlet]

What's the record for winning a game with the fewest shots in the playoffs ?

Pretty sure the Avs have had 12 twice

 

[StickShift]

Vancouver won the PK/PP battle today.

Special Teams.
Special Plays.
Special Players.

 

[Petey O]

Awesome game, Preds. Pure playoff hockey. Love to see it.

 

[Three On Zero]

GG Smashville, but that was too easy for an away game

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Pressure swings onto Nashville going into game 4.

Bizarre series tbh.

 

[Dolemite]

Vancouver’s discipline and depth.

WOW….just…WOW.

 

[kanucks25]

Nyquist has got to put that puck on the ice and hope for a rebound.

Just horrid. Glad that wasn't someone on my team because I'd be choked lol

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

Canucks are clearly battling the flu here that is going around. They look very tired.

Good character win.

Ya that's pretty obvious. Completely relying on their defensive systems.

 

[eviohh26]

Stressful to watch. DeSmith with a big game. LETS GO NUCKS!

 

[Another Empty Netter]

wow that was an easy win nashville isnt very good

and we won with our backup LOL

He’s not our backup anymore

 

[theripper]

all that matters is the scoreboard. desmith definitely stepped up. hughes looks like he's got the flu. did you guys see how red his nose is?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Preds were the better team once the Canucks got up 2-0.
But series is 2-1 and that’s all that matters. Team needs to play a hell of a lot better if they want to go any further.
Turtling from the first period on doesn’t seem like the best strategy.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

all that matters is the scoreboard. desmith definitely stepped up. hughes looks like he's got the flu. did you guys see how red his nose is?

I thought he did nothing. Defense made more saves tha he did.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Ya that's pretty obvious. Completely relying on their defensive systems.

Credit to Blueger for holding the fort in the last dying minutes of the game as well.

 

[Pip]

So the opposite of game 2 lol

 

[Clint Eastwood]

hero play

Sharp angle shots that players roof drive me up the wall. I can maybe excuse a star player doing that because they're the stars, but DeSmith, despite being very good tonight, was throwing out rebounds all night.

 

[notsocommonsense]

Id say Vancouver got lucky. They were out hustled all day and outshot horribly. DeSmith won that game more than the preds choking.

Role reversal from game 2
