GDT: WCQF- Game 4 YOUR NASHVILLE PREDATORS hosing the deranged oreo dolphins 28 APR 2024, 1600 CDT

[TheBeard]

I blame @Three On Zero.

I'm not even sure he likes hockey TBH.

 

[IronCladCane]

That’s what I’d expect a Chevy guy to say

They will need to play a H*LL of a lot better than they have vs the preds and Demko better be back

 

[TheBeard]

Even if you win round 2. You really think you are getting past Avs or Vegas? That's cute.

Vegas hasn't looked all that good in their series.

 

[Three On Zero]

They will need to play a H*LL of a lot better than they have vs the preds and Demko better be back

They match up a lot better against Edmonton, they don’t need to try playing such structured defence

Jesus Christ Vancouver hit another gear I never knew they had. This is the kind of playoff Depth that teams dream about and don't have (like the Leafs).

 

[BWJM]

Mediocre teams playing mediocre hockey lmao

How'd your Leafs make out with their starter last night?

 

[thefutures]

Feels like the two worst playoff teams in the West.

Oilers kings. Neither can play defense or goalie

 

[wetcoast]

They also got a bit lucky.

They did but that was a devastating loss for Nashville and now they have a huge hill to climb and the Canucks can play better.

 

[Hammer79]

Canucks beat the Oilers for the division with deSmith in net. Edmonton has soft goaltending and weak D, Canucks feasted on it all year. Not sure where this Oilers confidence is coming from, other than sheer partisan hate rather than looking at what happened on the ice.

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

Holy hell incredible.

What a resilient team.

Hughes looks hurt. Normally he's a cheat code with the puck, in this game for long stretches he was getting rid of it. I'm sort of guessing it's like a bruised rib or sternum or something. But the guts he shows to come through when it matters.

Was looking like such a demoralizing game. Team feeling rattled by the lack of their general back there (Demko) and then they adjust to DeSmith, and then HE'S out.

But to come back like this. Wow. This Canucks fan is still vibrating. Just absolutely ecstatic.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Noticed ROR was looking gassed at the end of the game. I don't think Preds can keep playing him so many minutes. I really haven't noticed any of the other Preds centers so maybe they don't have much option.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Feels like the two worst playoff teams in the West.

And the angry Oilers crew starts to arrive.
Still stinging from the seasons sweep.

 

[Jay26]

It's going to be tough mentally for Nashville to come back from this one.

At some point, Vancouver is going to play a complete game, so missing out on these opportunities is crippling.

I can't really explain what we're seeing from the Canucks so far. I mean the problem with low volume of shots has been there all season but this is just....weird. I hope they're all battling the flu or something. Tonight's win was fantastic to witness but this isn't going to cut it going forward. Hope you're right that at some point they're going to play a complete game.

 

[Petey O]

And the angry Oilers crew starts to arrive.
Still stinging from the seasons sweep.

It's unreal that fans of a team who lost to the Canucks 4 times in embarrassing fashion this season are so cocky.

 

[IronCladCane]

They match up a lot better against Edmonton, they don’t need to try playing such structured defence

I guess we will see, this is there first time in the playoffs in four years we don't know how they will matchup in the post season the regular season means nothing matchups wise.

I'll also admit to not having watched much of either team

 

[Szechwan]

For 55min I think that was the worst game I've seen the Canucks play this entire sseason.

Walking out of Nashville with two Ws is absolute larceny.

 

[Joe Sakic]

Ultimately, Saros just isn’t good.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Hughes looks hurt. Normally he's a cheat code with the puck, in this game for long stretches he was getting rid of it. I'm sort of guessing it's like a bruised rib or sternum or something. But the guts he shows to come through when it matters.

Impressive... but I doubt he'd be able to play through a tummy ache.

 

[TheBeard]

Feels like the two worst playoff teams in the West.

Winnipeg is looking more like SJ than how they did in the regular season. If Helly isn't playing like the Vezina winner he is, they'll be done by Weds.

 

[Jay26]

I find it amusing how the Canucks are destroying Saros' career playoff Save%.

 

[Gjman2019]

Ultimately, Saros just isn’t good.

Smaller goaltenders are at a disadvantage in the end....

NHL shooters are just too good.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Oilers kings. Neither can play defense or goalie

Preds don't have defense either. Whenever the Canucks decide to actually try to score they do at will this series. The rest of the series is the Canucks handing the puck back to the preds and working on their defensive game.

There is absolutely no way the Canucks can play this level of hockey and win against the Oilers. They will get mauled and I say this as a Canucks fan.

 

[IronCladCane]

As I said before the the regular season doesn't mean much come playoff time.... and if Demko isn't back I don't think it will matter much... especially since 3 of the four came when they were playing like a lottery team....

Heck my Canes were also unbeaten agaist the panthers last year in the regular season we know how that turned out.

 

[Three On Zero]

The games are a lot more open, Nashville is doing a really good job of shot suppression and protecting Saros. Edmontons defence leaves skinner out to dry most of the game
