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

[wonton15]

Blocks 32-6 Nashville
Shot attempts like 80-30 for Vancouver

This is insane

 

[bbud]

the crowd kills me... want to call holding on Schenn, but then they see its Schenn and we love him, so we wont boo yet, we'll think about it a bit then bring out the ol "ref you suck" for not calling a non-call

Wrong uni f him be nice when he's home fishing not tonight

 

[biturbo19]

Hronek should be breaking ankles with his shot from the point if they want to block them, but he refuses to shoot the puck.

He's not really a Sami Salo cannon though. He's more..."get the puck through" like an Ehrhoff. Or Quinton Hughes.

 

[WTG]

Have the Preds had a shot this period?

No

 

[ForecheckBackcheck]

 

[SillyRabbit]

I actually don't want a PP.

The last 4-5 shifts have looked better than our PP.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Preds will take the split all day long, if they hold on going home with no Demko means they have all the momentum. They're just trying to block everything.

 

[NailsHoglander]

Honestly f*** this game, just blast shots to break some ankles for game 3

It should be the strategy at this point

 

[Raistlin]

EVERY TIME Pettersson gets the puck, he holds it, stickhandles it a bit and then shoots it into the body of a defender

Every f***in time. What is wrong with him? It was crisp precise passing from everyone, he's in the right spot but doesn't shoot. It seems he forgot how to play, brain's on loop.

 

[LemonSauceD]

f***ing lotto line garbage

Wtf really

 

[Baby Pettersson]

I'm not even mad anymore. We are absolutely dominating.

We win in 5.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Of course Saros picks tonight to be a god

We’ve hit multiple posts, missed multiple open nets, had sticks obliterate on good looks - he hasn’t had to be good tonight. Our puck luck has been insanely bad.

 

[MS]

At least Nashville can't be taking a lot of confidence out of winning playing like this.

This makes the LA Kings look like the '84 Oilers.

 

[TruKnyte]

Preds will take the split all day long, if they hold on going home with no Demko means they have all the momentum.

I have no faith in DeSmith in the road either

 

[drax0s]

Honestly f*** this game, just blast shots to break some ankles for game 3

With how this game is going, it'd be our ankles. Hronek would murder Joshua with a pointshot which would ricochet off and hit Garland in a weak spot in his neck protector taking him out till next year.

That eventually catches up d can't skate with 20 bruises each real well just keep it up

 

[Grumbler]

game should have been tied. Pettersson scored two goals for the predators.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Attack their top line physically at the end

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

How do you have 16 shots on goal with 80 attempts?

80.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

81-26 attempted shots for Vancouver. Almost double their possession time.

This should be like 8 to zero right now.

 

[Bleach Clean]

You are incredibly disingenuously ignoring 60+ games of elite play from an obviously excellent team to go to a 20-game sample with Casey DeSmith in net and Elias Pettersson playing like absolute garbage to say 'THIS is the real Canucks'.

It's incredibly lame anti-fandom because you're still upset the team isn't tanking right now and won the division instead.

I'm done with this absolutely stupid discussion. Have a good night.

What a poor response, again.

That 60+ sample included low shot hockey. It is incorporated into their good play.

The comment about tanking is just you perpetuating a narrative driven analysis that lasers in on one thing while ignoring everything else. Myopic and pathetic. I'd like to think it's all Pettersson's fault the team has generally had low shot volumes this whole year, but I just can't buy any that latest story from you, sorry. Tell me another one.

 

[Canucker]

He's not really a Sami Salo cannon though. He's more..."get the puck through" like an Ehrhoff. Or Quinton Hughes.

Not suggesting he’s got a cannon of that variety, but its a hard shot he should be using more.

 

[Lawzy]

These guys are gonna be sleeping in ice bathes tonight at this rate.

It is, but they have to just figure it out.
