karma for the Petey cheapshot.

 

Hope he gets embarrassed tonight

pettersson should have been penalized on that play for having his head up his ass.

I dont think the prefs care who's in net, nor do I think they'll alter their game plan for a goalie.  They are going to come out and hit everything that moves, make Hughes life miserable and try to the Canucks to open up 

It will change their approach to where and when they shoot. Every team focuses on the opposing goalie's weaknesses, why do you think the Cancucks are shooting under Saros' blocker arm, its because they know his save percentage there is about .680. No, it probably won't change their overall approach to the rest of the game, but it will change how they attack the goal. Another example is how is Colorado making this years Vezina winner look like a ball hockey goalie? By moving the puck side to side, something he struggles with. Now thats also a defensive problem for Winnipeg, allowing those side to side passes, but Colorado knows what the stats are for Hellebuyck.

That’s exactly it. Both teams play just as they have. We lost a game and I felt we were the better team so I wanted us to just stick with it. You gotta think Nashville feels similar. 

Difference is we lost a game and were tied 1-1. They lost and are down 3-1 instead of being tied 2-2.

Ok, my prediction a couple games ago was that the Canucks flu was impacting them, but that NAS would start feeling some of the effects by game 4, and then really feel like shit in game 5.  If true, the prediction is that NAS will have its worst effort tonight, and that the Canucks will dominate and close this thing out.
