NSH will be hurting soon, Burke talks a lot about the accumulation of physical play throughout a series grinding teams down, from where I stand we are the team dishing out most of the pain. Attrition. Keep on them. Break them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckfanforlife82 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 2 minutes ago, Boudrias said: The team is not close to being done. Laughable. Canucks were not treated nicely by the hockey gods. The carried the play by a huge margin. Sure we were all hoping to leave Van up 2 games. Being positive losing last night might pull the team closer. DeCasey: didn't lose the game. Petey: that gapping net will have given him nightmares last night. People talk about a lingering injury but I don't see anything on the ice that indicates such. It looks like confidence to me. Net front: My biggest disappointment in the game was lack of a direct physical challenge infront of the Pred's net. Ya, old school, but I thought they should have crashed the net and bumped the tender. The Preds did that a couple of times against Demko whether intentional or not. Milling about after the whistle, grabbing a jersey and talking isn't enough. Hitting the tender or scrapping is what it will take. Canucks have to show the Preds that they want this series more than they do. Not close but if the stars on this team continue to struggle to get offense and their pp gets nothing, this series won’t be a long one. It’s the biggest issue right now. I also thought the Canucks didn’t do a very good job of getting to the net and screening the goalie. He saw everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballisticsports Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 1 hour ago, Guadeloupe Jones said: Vancouver dominated the game. The shot attempt counts, how much they were in Nashville’s zone. Few empty net chances were killer and Saros had some big time saves. One would think if Nashville is going to rely heavily on blocked shots that Vancouver will tire them out. Lets ride. -GJ They did the rope a dope on us in that game (hopefully we don't get tired and frustrated) Was good to see the Canucks dominate the game though, as a good sign in a bad outcome Hopefully we find away to open up space Had we been dominated all game, I would be concerned, I think the guys will get this done 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I just knew I had an open net, and I think the puck stood on high edge, but either way, I've got to score," he said postgame. "I put us in a bad spot with my mistake on their third goal, (that) can't happen," Pettersson said before reiterating his regret about the open-net miss. "If I score in the first period, and it's a 1-1 game, maybe it's a different outlook." Pettersson put the defeat squarely on his shoulders. "I'm always my biggest critic, and I take a lot of blame for this one," he said. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2899998/amp Edited April 24 by Rick_theRyper 2 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rmok Posted April 24 Popular Post Share Posted April 24 Just watched a Nashville based hockey podcast. They were all pretty unanimously in agreement that the Preds are lucky as hell to have won that game and be 1-1. That Van has been the better team in both games and in game two Van was the WAAAAAAAYYYY better team but had bad bounces both offensively and defensively. That Petey missing open nets like that isn't something they can depend on. That half the game looked like a Vancouver PP that the ice was so tilted in Vans favor. To be honest even though they won the people on that podcast looked shell shocked... They looked and sounded very worried about the series after that game (after a win) So for Van fans even though its tied we should take solace in the fact that Van has been the better team in both games and even the preds fans see that. If they keep playing with that intensity they will win. They just need to bare down on shots more, stop hesitating and stop trying to over pass through skates. Tocchet needs to sit miller, boes and petey down and say listen.. you are shooters on the PP.. if you go out on the next PP and don't move your feet and don't shoot the puck and constantly stand still and pass off then you will sit for the next PP and we will use someone that will shoot the puck. 4 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFaithfulcap Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 1 hour ago, Ghostsof1915 said: I think Petey needs to train with the Twins this offseason. He has to regain his shot. And really needs to strengthen his core. I think the Twins can work with him to get his timing, accuracy back. Maybe the Twins can figure out what's going on in his head. I think he should visit forsberg or someone with more edge. He's being too playoff sedin out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea, not sure what is going on?, remember when just last year when we were a bad team and people were saying Petey wanted to bolt because he stated he wanted to be on a winner (I hope as a passenger is not what he meant) A Stanley Cup team needs intensity and commitment from everyone, and not just being ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Preds were on their heels for huge swaths of the game. Adding Myers back in will most definitely help. He and Zadorov have been two of the best players in the series so far, with Zadorov being the best player yesterday. Miller was trying his hardest to make something happen, as was Hughes. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of Nashville players are nursing injuries from that shooting gallery. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzukes Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 7 hours ago, quattrob said: Petey at his current state should not be centering a line with Hoggy (hasn't done much so far) and Mik (guy that can't score atm). You're just making it worse for Petey when he has linemates that aren't helping. So you gotta either give him Boeser or garland/Dak.. or put him with Miller and Boeser. Yup, I agree Hoglander has done jack squat. I really noticed him yesterday ... in a bad way. Everyone else was going hard but I saw him sitting on the edge of scrums way to often and not flying in on the forecheck and making life miserable for the opposition like he usually does. I would put him back on the fourth line, maybe bring in Aman and move Lindy to the Petey line with Mik and put Blueger back with Joshua and Garland, or like you say give Petey some kind of quality linemate to help him out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll need to keep battling like this to win without Demmer, they just gotta put the puck in the net.

Popular Post HKSR Posted April 24 Popular Post Share Posted April 24 11 minutes ago, Bob Long said: Meanwhile hasn't Helly let in 11 goals in two games.... Yup, and last I checked there are several series that are tied 1-1. Canucks outplayed Nashville last night by quite a bit. Out shot, out hit, out chanced, etc. Did everything right other than having the luck. If even 1/2 of the high quality chances went in, the Canucks would have won. Unfortunately, I'd say ZERO out of the high quality chances went in... that's some damn bad puck luck IMO. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I hope Tocchet demands a rigorous, grueling off season training plan for Pettersson. He needs to build a lot more strength, falls down too much, gets pushed down, bullied off the puck. Just so soft (aside from his sneaky reverse hit). The body language with missing shots as well, falling to his knees and looking at the sky. Someone should replace the title with "PETEY" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since 82 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Just watched the highlights of the Panthers vs Lightning....we aren't going very far without Demko. I really like Casey and think he's excellent this job , but he's a career backup. Sorry not wanting to be negative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 1 hour ago, Barnstorm said: 18,000 people chanting at Casey seconds into the game and before he’s even touched the puck was a really stupid thing to do. As if he wasn’t already under enough of a spotlight. I'm watching and hearing that. "Let's go, Casey" " Let's Go, Casey" goals goes in, and in my head I hear "Timing's, everything".
