I think people have to remember that this is all part of the learning curve.

At the beginning of the year we would have been thrilled to get a wildcard spot and take a good team to 6 or 7 games.

Now, I'm not saying that we shouldn't adjust our expectations and want more, but remember that each phase of this season is a learning process for this team.

Petey mentioned that it's an adjustment playing in front of a playoff crowd. I think part of what happens is an adrenaline dump where you try too hard in the wrong direction, and then your legs get heavy.

I'm trying to remind myself that a lot of people express their hope and anxiety through fear and negativity. But it's pretty exhausting reading comment after comment of people just shitting all over the team.

Making absurd comments about Petey being a 'prima-donna' and saying we need to dump him. Or that Tocchet is a bad coach (lol) is just wild.

Like, I'm nervous too, but if you're not having fun, or find it boring, or hate our team given what's going on then perhaps you should become a fan of a different sport. Or just become a true bandwagon fan who cheers for whatever team is doing well that day.

This honestly feels not that different from what happened with Willie D in 2015.

FINALLY! A Willie D reference.

My feeling is Petey just needs one, and to get that he needs to play with Miller and Boeser imo. Go back to the “balanced” lines after he scores. He throws them together 2-3 times in a period and you can literally see Pettersson’s excitement. He’s got to get him going, not reply on him to carry a line with average wingers - he can’t and I don’t think he ever has (I’ll be corrected if I’m wrong about that).

yup he has been a pedestrian coach these playoffs. your team is generating less than 20 shots.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Am I the only one who finds the commercial of the fan being permitted to smuggle a big package under his jersey into the arena by security a little…problematic?

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Man, watching Nylander turn into a superstar makes that miss in 2014 hurt so much more.

 

[mossey3535]

How did Luke Gazdic get on the panel? lol

He sucks, but he's on Sportsnet broadcasts so I guess that's his in.

 

[LemonSauceD]

I don’t think I could ever live in that lame ass hillbilly place Nashville

 

[Bobby9]

The strategy should be ‘what would we do if we didn’t have Quinn Hughes’ because this strategy of ‘everything has to be done by Quinn Hughes’ is not working.

I understand leaning on your best player but this is pushing that narrative

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

either everyone got bad at once or the team didn't have another gear to take it to going from regular season to the playoffs

Underrated comment, this team faded just as the league was amping up post all-star.

Yeah, I also wonder if we started getting heavily scouted and tape watched around this time, and seen as more of a threat.

 

[Canucks LB]

Feels like a concert lol

 

[TraderJim]

2nd periods have been our worst periods all season. Hold on everyone.

 

[Grub]

Honestly this is the third game where we are taking so few shots, this Tochett system is getting exposed. With the offensive talent we have we shouldn’t even be matching with Nashville.

 

[LemonSauceD]

The strategy should be ‘what would we do if we didn’t have Quinn Hughes’ because this strategy of ‘y has to be done by Quinn Hughes’ is not working.

Yep, think Owen Power would do wonders tbh

Love it. The Vancouver crowds have been so epic this playoffs. It's so great to see.

 

[M2Beezy]

Post within the rules for the 2nd period please

 

[VanJack]

The 'inconvenient truth' is that since the all-star break, the Preds have been a far better team than the Canucks.....I guess we're now seeing why.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

It's okay because they're both white.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

FINALLY! A Willie D reference.

It was Real Guud.

 

[alternate]

Winner take all for this game. So done with this series.

 

[wonton15]

Silovs me. Silovs me not

 

[Flik]

Post within the rules for the 2nd period please

 

[mossey3535]

As long as Silovs is tracking those clear sighted shots I have confidence he will be good in this game.
