WCQF: Vancouver Canucks vs Nashville Predators (VAN Leads 3-2)

[Baby Pettersson]

Boo yeah LFG Canucks!

 

[BonMorrison]

Preds keep playing like they did in the second and third, this ain’t going past 5. Absolutely brutal.

Fun day of hockey. 9 Beers later! Looking forward to tomarrow. What a great time to have a week off work .

@ACLEVERNAME you were talking about former Leaf property Dakota Joshua?

 

[Bobby9]

Canucks controlled the game all night. Preds need to be much better 5 on 5

 

[Orca Smash]

Big game for joshua. I know there is some speculation he is a ufa having a career year, but he has been really good all season. Hes big and fast which is something vc forward group badly needs, and he has good hands. I dont think this is a flash in the pan but someone having a late breakout, but it will be interesting to see his future.

I thought he was a St. Louis Blues legend

Need to be much better at everything. Zero HDCF on the power play as well tonight. Putting up 6 shots per period total. Just no offense to be had. Demko probably won't even need to shower.

Drafted by the Leafs they didn’t get him signed.

 

[MessierII]

slow start but turned out to be a good game. That sequence by the Canucks was wild.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

The Leafs/Bruins GDT was open hours after the final. East coast bias

 

[snipes]

Good game tonight.

Joshua was a beast. JT Miller was fantastic. Zadorov played well as did Myers. Hughes got going in the 3rd.

For Nashville, ROR and Josi had noticeable games.

Gotta love playoff hockey

 

[Another Empty Netter]

Have we seen a line with Miller and Joshua ? Maybe throw in Hoglander? At any point in pre-season or regular?

We did when Lindholm was injured, Miller played between Joshua and Garland a bit.

It was fine, but not an effective use of Miller, who can play with anybody.

 

[DFAC]

Lindholm was fantastic. Thought Myers, Cole and Zadorov were all solid as well.

Andrew brunette is Bruce Boudreau 2.0

Surprised they are scratching Barrie. Seems like they could use him on the PP.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Canucks have aura

 

[Senor Catface]

Canucks have aura

There's a clinic on Bute they can get checked for that.

 

[PuckFather]

Lindholm was quietly effective both on the dot and defensively.

 

[DimitriL07]

The barn was bonkers. Haven’t heard it that loud in a min

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Andrew brunette is Bruce Boudreau 2.0

His powerplay sucked bad in NJ too, didn't it flame out also in Florida in 2022? He's an excellent 5v5 coach, the Preds just don't have the horses to play his system like 21-22 Florida and the hand he had in 22-23 NJ. They'll get there but the lack of game breakers will sink them as evident in Game 1

 

[Three On Zero]

12 seconds of love...

That’s what he wanted

 

[BonMorrison]

Preds not having their stretch passes intercepted in the neutral zone challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

 

[Three On Zero]

Inexperienced playoff team #1 outplayed inexperienced playoff team #2. Go sports!
