This isn't last year's Vancouver train wreck. They've been playing well as of late. Going to take a solid effort to get the "W."

Was just looking it up, and they actually are not playing well- lost 3 in a row and 10 of their last 15. 3-5-2 in last 10.

But this game really scares me- has "letdown" written all over it

The crazy thing about them is their Home/Away records. They are backwards.


Home: 3-5-3
Away: 8-5-1

Uh oh, we have a toxic locker room. This wouldn't have happened if Weber was still here

Little tomfoolery like this is always fun to read.

 

[Jonesey]

Good thing I didn't take them in the NPPG!

 

[Pred303]

forsberg should have quipped, "good, we've been trying to get you to shoot the puck more than once a game anyway".

 

[Adz]

We have the opportunity to pull even with the Blues and jump Winnipeg.
Focus.
Shoot the puck, protect your goaltender...
Be businesslike and deadly.

I want to win this game. 2 points and another W for posterity.
Watch out for the Sedin twins. They're like me--old but tricky.

Go Preds!

 

[PredsV82]

Hate to hear about Dorsett career ending problem. Hate playing a team that just got bad news. Bad situation all around

Vamos los Perds!

While I'm feeling good about this one at home, VAN has always been one of those teams that just seems to have our number, even in off years. Actually went to Hockey Reference.com to confirm:

Nashville Predators Won-Loss Records | Hockey-Reference.com

Canucks are the second lowest win% for us of any team. Guess who's #1? (answer in spoiler below)

Spoiler

DET, not a surprise at all given 1) their historic run of success from the 90s through ~2010, 2) us being a recent expansion team / pretty terrible for a good 6+ years of said run.

 

[Cashville]

Nooo, not Arvi; looked pretty hurt trying to get off

EDIT: Arvi is back!

 

[Armourboy]

Jesus Josi

 

[GoldOnGold]

Uncharacteristic mistake from Josi there.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Jarny with a surprising shot followed by a long possession in their end. Ekky with a bomb of a clapper as well.

 

[Armourboy]

If Jarnkrok has time to settle it he has a pretty mean shot.

 

[GoldOnGold]

Some mistakes that shift in the d-zone.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Gagner is still playing!??

 

[Armourboy]

Glad to see Watson didn't lose the aggressive play after the suspension.

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

Wow this goalie Is alright

 

[PredsV82]

Wow this goalie Is alright

Yet again we make backups look like Vezina candidates

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

No screens in front of Nilssen. They'll get one by soon.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

irwin and bitetto get pinned every time on the ice

 

[Cashville]

How was that not icing?

 

[GoldOnGold]

Irwin and Bitetto have been especially bad so far this game.
