GDT: WCQF GM02 | Vancouver Canucks vs. Nashville Predators | Tue. Apr 23rd | 7:00PM PST | SNP/CBC | Great State of Dakota

[Petey O]

Re-signing Pettersson before the playoffs cost this team at least a million dollars in cap, and probably a guy like Zadorov coming back. Or being able to ship his ass out for players who don't look like bambi for an entire season.

Frustrating.

 

[TruKnyte]

Saros has been the difference maker as well.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

This is so disheartening. Spend 6 months doing everything right as a team and then have to watch Casey DeSmith and Noah Juulsen in playoff games.

This is a continuation of the struggles from the past 3 months.

Special teams has sucked. Offense has been drying up. It's been coming.

 

[Flik]

We already know how they will respond. Not interesting at all.

Eh, it's all gravy for me, I'm as disappointed as the rest of us, but whatever, if the team flames out in the first round so be it

 

[Donuts]

too much passing. start shooting.

hope for deflections, rebounds, tip ins

 

[biturbo19]

Oh wow that was a gift bounce off the official randomly in the way of the clearing attempt. Still nothing.

 

[Regal]

I still haven’t seen anything from Nashville worth worrying about. This is all on the team to step up

 

[Lawzy]

It can only go up from here Petey.

 

[GranvilleIsland]

Despite DeSmith looking like a slice of swiss as per usual. Team needs to score more than 0 goals to win.

 

[TruKnyte]

also Tocchet needs to pull DeSmith if he wants any chance of winning this game

 

[Red]

saros looks great today

ugh

 

[Nucker101]

Canucks got away with one

 

[Jay26]

Somehow Lafferty misses right in front of the net.

 

[Bobby9]

So done with Pettersson

Interesting.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I hate that this team made me care about them again.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Totally dominated the Preds but pure skill issue puts us behind. Frustrating

Shooting talent on the wings and puck movement from the back end aside from Hughes-Hronek. These are the major weaknesses of this team. On full display this game.

It's on management to a certain extent but such is life.

 

[calnuck]

How very 2011 of this team

 

[Bubbles]

Kirk McLean still in the building? Better option than DeSmith at this point

 

[Svencouver]

I mean if the team just sucks and is outright worse than their wildcard opponent it doesn't matter whos in net

 

[Red]

desmith looks 5'5" in net

 

[MS]

DeSmith was ,879 after January 1 and this isn't really surprising. We overnight went from having a top 3 goalie in the NHL to the worst starter in the playoffs.

 

[coastal_nuck]

Pettersson just doesn't have it. No drive. Horrible execution. Bad pass only to follow it up with missed assignment. Just bench him at this point.

 

[Jay26]

This is a continuation of the struggles from the past 3 months.

Special teams has sucked. Offense has been drying up. It's been coming.

Absolutely. None of those surprises me

 

[Nucker101]

Why do the Preds look angrier than the Canucks?

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Game quickly becoming a comedy of errors
