Breaking Nashville hearts like a Dolly Parton ballad.

 

Or braking hearts like Ryan Kessler did, single handily beating Nashville in 2011, and there poster wife Carrie Underwood.

Wondering why the NHL.com, Canucks.com or any site have the Canuck's playoff schedule? The only reason I learned it was a game on Sunday was from the Sportsnet game announcers.

 

Its up on NHL.com now

Going to game 1! Bringing my 10 year old to his first ever playoff game. Going to be an awesome CORE memory for him. 
 

I think we match up fairly well against the preds but you never know how a series will go. Canucks in 5 might be optimistic but I think we can do it. To me Petey and Lindholm are the X factors. Hope they show up. Also, watched a lot of Calgary games when they were in the playoffs, I thought Big Z was awesome. Can’t wait to see him throwing his weight around- you know schenn will be.

 

go Canucks go, been waiting for this for a long time.

Agreed. Suter is a nice utility player that it seems you can plug in on any line, but he doesn't necessarily make the line better. Doesn't really hurt you but doesn't really help you either.

 

Defensively he does at the very least and f/o

So excited for this series. I think the back end is gonna step big time in the physicality department.  Big Z and Soucy especially I think will dish out some big hits.

I do think that the Canucks win the series in 6 games. I'm not going to lie. I wanted Vegas for our first round opponent (much like Chicago in 2011... playing the defending champs in the first round). 

 

Can't wait for Sunday! Go Canucks Go!

If you can put a player costing $1.6m into your top 6 and that line remains in the top-5 ranked lines in the league for %goals, then that makes a massive positive impact on your roster.

 

He's not going to have the impact of a $6-7m winger but imo Suter is our 6th best forward and has earned that spot.

 

People have suggested putting Podz into the top 6...he's on pace for 9pts over 82 games, compared to Suter who is on pace for 36pts.

I thought we might not match up to the size of the Preds roster but we match up quite well. Plus Garland will prove that size doesn't matter!

Lol 5'10.  In his own words he has never bothered to correct the NHL's mistake about his height.  Cheeky gremlin.

sorry, can't find it... but I saw a picture of Garland next to either Meyers or Zadorov in suits... reminded me of Tyrion Lannister with the Hound.

-about the Predators blocking outside ticket sales... I thought the NHL wanted to broaden the fans interest. 

allowing opposing fans to buy/attend games is GOOD for the game. Maybe they should limit the number of foreign ticket sales?

I understand wanting to pack the stands with homer fans, but if WE tried to do that Bettman would probably slam us with a MAJOR fine.

I think we should do the same then. Our rink sells the tickets and there's great demand from OUR fans for them.

 

I'd love it to be the norm actually. It's awful when our rink is flooded with fans from other teams.

we should even do this for regular season home games... I hate seeing more Laff or Hab fans than ours.

"You mean as a kid that grew up in Kerrisdale and wants nothing more than for the Vancouver Canucks to win a Stanley Cup? A kid who grew up with a transistor radio under his pillow so he could to Jim Robson and Tom Larscheid past his bedtime? It's huge, it's great..."

I remember that very first interview from his home when he laughed and said "Well I'm actually not 5/10, I'm 5/8. He's a fireball this year.
