WCQF Game 4: Nashville Predators @ Colorado Avalanche | 10 PM ET | SN, TVAS, NBCSN, ALT, FS-TN

With a healthy Varly we'd be leading this series, disappointing for sure.

Doubt that you're leading 3-1 if you have Varly...

You will never know but I'd not pick the Avs to win even with no injuries

 

[adsfan]

I think either the Jets or Vegas will do very well against them.

I expect them to do so.

 

[Canuck16]

Huge win, obviously.

Nashville with 3 awesome goals.
Forsberg with potential Goal of Playoff so far.
2nd goal was a remarkable play finished perfectly by Scissions.
Craig Smith with a snipe top shelf. Smith is an underrated goal scorer. He gets chalked up as depth which is fair but he is similar to Hoffman in Ottawa.

With a healthy Varly we'd be leading this series, disappointing for sure.

Knowing our opponent now - I suspect they'd have run him by now and he'd be out anyways

Preds are a bunch of scummy thugs

 

[TheForsbergShow]

Once again, goaltending was the difference. Bernier is incredible at (not) making the crucial save.

The guy made like 8 saves in the first 5 minutes, but yes lets use him as the scapegoat as to why they lost this game.

 

[Foppberg]

Doubt that you're leading 3-1 if you have Varly...

? I mean that's literally what I just said.

 

[Joe Sakic]

Now that this game is over I can say that this was hands down one of the absolute worst referred games I have ever seen.

For both sides.

 

[zhok]

Avs are fighters, I'll give them that. Almost had a heart attack there late in the third.

While were giving the Avs things, how about a 5 on 3 gift wrapped, goaltender interference goal, and a cross check to Ekholms face.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

New

I just realised we cannot be this good but here we are giving a real challenge against a team who is gonna get far in the playoffs this year if we let them.... They are a really good hockey team and frankly so are we​

Despite our frustration with our team's play, don't think you'll find a Preds fan in disagreement. Avs have played some excellent hockey.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

You mean like missing a 5 minute major and game misconduct

and allowing a goal that shouldn't have counted.

 

[Alex Jones]

The guy made like 8 saves in the first 5 minutes, but yes lets use him as the scapegoat as to why they lost this game.

Yea but goaltending is about more than being good occasionally. Varlamov would not have given up those last two goals.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Nashville will be swept or out in five games max if they play like this vs Winnipeg.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

? I mean that's literally what I just said.

Yes and I think you're pretty arrogantly just mentioning that.
When you're down 3-1 gotta grasp on maybe's huh?

 

[adsfan]

They’ve literally played decent 4 out of 12 periods.

I have to agree with you. I was happy that the Preds gave up zero goals in Period 1 tonight. That is kind of backing into the next round.

 

[adsfan]

Hartman can go **** himself

Not tonight!

 

[stl76]

Riddle me this, why IS that a good goal and NSH goal against Luongo isn't? Go look at the incidents, both times the puck was 'loose' but NSH got it disallowed for impeding to make a save.

This f***ing play again, seriously?

The puck was UNDER Luongo (aka covered/NOT loose). This puck was sitting out on top of Rinne’s pad. Dear lord...

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Yes and I think you're pretty arrogantly just mentioning that.
When you're down 3-1 gotta grasp on maybe's huh?

Yeah super arrogant to suggest that if we had our #1 goalie we might be doing better...

Wait, what?

Someone is being arrogant here, that's for sure

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Not tonight!

Yeah, here's hoping

 

[Mighty Makar]

With a healthy Varly we'd be leading this series, disappointing for sure.

It’s easy to say that. It would have been nice to have him, EJ and Girard, though.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Wait, what?

Someone is being arrogant here, that's for sure

You guys are the ones thinking the series that you're actively losing would be yours in a maybe world. Gotta go with the results of the real world.

 

[Gnashville]

Yep great game. Intensity from both teams. That said Preds need to be better if they meet WPG.

Forsberg and Mackinnon both treats to watch.

everyone talks about Winnipeg like they are the 1984 Oilers. Didn’t they get housed in game 3 vs Minnesota and the Avs are better than Minnesota. Both teams are leading 3-1

 

[Jugitsu]

Nashville will be swept or out in five games max if they play like this vs Winnipeg.

I don't believe they will get swept but they definitely will have their hands full with the Jets. That's probably going to be the most interesting series going forward. Jets have already lost some important personnel against the Wild, so I honestly don't think their depth or defense will be enough to beat Nashville, but it's definitely going to be tight.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

You're just proving my point about the arrogance even further

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

The guy made like 8 saves in the first 5 minutes, but yes lets use him as the scapegoat as to why they lost this game.

Can't speak for recent seasons (or how Varlamov fares against us) but Bernier used to utterly own us on the Kings (never had issues vs. Quick).

 

[Foppberg]

Yes and I think you're pretty arrogantly just mentioning that.

Not really no. Coming into this series I expected to get steam rolled by Nashville, I'm not sure if it's Nashville just not in their groove, us playing well, or a combination of both, but if we have our #1 goalie I think we'd be ahead in the series. I don't see why you'd get offended over it, but it is 2018.
