Best first round match for the Canucks. Need to take this in 4 or 5.

 

[StickShift]

Pending the schedule being released and confirming a Sunday afternoon/night game on 4/28—will be headed to Nashville Game 4 to see the boys!

 

[Bobby9]

Pettersson.

Would love that

Lawyers involved is all I can say... This gonna get messy

 

[Siludin]

Not gonna take the back-half Predators lightly - they made some shrewd deadline moves and they still have an amazing defense and goaltending

 

[olafsson]

So f***ing pumped for this. It’s been way too long since we’ve seen playoff hockey, and living in Calgary I don’t get to see the games often as is. I think this is the best possible matchup for us and I think they can take it in 5 or 6 as long as they stick to their original game plan and play the way they usually do.

 

[Zombotron]

wouldn't it be funny if, a decade from now, we lament about how this series was undone by some stupid shit like 1-2-3-4

glad we're a model franchise where those things don't happen

 

[valkynax]

Let's all not forget what happened to the Leafs and Panthers last year.

The only easy game is last game, no such thing as ideal matchups in playoffs.

Chaos reign above all but Lord Stanley himself.

Hey does that mean Myers will be our X-factor???

 

[VanCanucks53]

For those of you saying Canucks in 4 or 5… where does that confidence come from and I wonder how it must feel?? I’m always expecting the worst and have a sense of impending doom at all times.

Playoffs are going to be so bad for my heart health.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Updated the OP with season series highlights and the top 3 Canuck point getters in their career vs. Nashville.

 

[Josepho]

kinda neat that the 2/3 ranked and 4/5 ranked teams will be facing off

 

[brock hughes007]

boldest prediction in this series. brock boeser will go off. and have a snipe show on these predators.

He is the one player I'm watching the most during the playoffs.Just hope he doesn't do a disappearing act.

IIRC, the Preds' Lauzon just set a single season record for hits, and Luke Schenn is the all time NHL hits leader, no?

Gonna be a physical series.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Are we doing no pants for the playoffs or?

 

[logan5]

LMAO.

It’s the Art of War. Make your opponent think your power play is weak. Hide your strengths til you truly need it.

 

[MS]

Nashville were heading toward missing the playoffs at 27-25-2 when they dropped a 16-0-2 before finishing 4-5-1.

We're theoretically better pretty much across the board but they're obviously capable of getting hot and playing well.

Lauzon is going to be a handful. Wouldn’t surprise me if he finished with 50-70 hits this series.

He was a guy I wanted as cheap filler, but Juulsen has been just as good (IMHO)

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

 

[Nucker101]

Gonna go against the grain and say Nucks in 7, feel like the Preds will start off the series strong and the Canucks will finish it stronger after a bumpy start

 

[Aqualung]

Got tickets to game 2! Also, I mortgaged my home-- my gawd are these pricy.

 

[Petey O]

Key to this series will be EP matching Forsberg, in my opinion. If we can't get within the Filip Forsberg stratosphere of player out of him, the Canucks are going to have a much harder time in this series.

 

[canuckking1]

Got a weird feeling Mikheyev's gonna be the one to open the scoring for the Canucks this postseason

Forsberg has been the better player this season
