Last preview I said I didn't feel much emotion personally in this series. That all changed during Game 3. It's getting more feisty out there. The games remain super-close. That was nail-biting and an excellent, crucial win. These games are all huge at this point as the series goes along and the anticipation is building. Yep. It's on like Megatron. I'm feeling it now. The controversy of the OT penalty to Nashville and the Canucks' ensuing GWG put some gas on the fire as well.
I was bagging on Ryan Kesler's ZERO goals in the Game 3 preview and it was super to see him get that monkey off his back with 2 goals AND an assist.The Sedins however...UGH. Being checked to hell and not looking impressive enough yet. They HAVE to get going. Persevere. Thank god Line 2 was so dominating and the Canucks went 2 for 4 on the PP in Game 3 or it could have gone the other way. And speaking of that, special teams are a huge factor now. The Preds' power play is ice cold. No PP goals in 12 opportunities against Vancouver in this series. The Canucks are now 2-for-10. The Preds have scored all 4 of their goal in this series at even strength. The Canucks have only 5 goals in this series and 2 are with the man advantage.
So the Canucks' special teams are on the rise and hopefully stay that way. Their faceoff percentage is steadily increasing. They are taking less penalties per game on average. Good signs. Even so, the series remains so damned tight that any team can win on any night. So get used to having no nails on your fingers because they will continually be chewed off.
As an aside, last game was the first time the Predators lost a playoff game after scoring first. Also the first time they lost a game when leading a game after the 1st period.

-Ballard plays the waiting game. (Vancouver Sun). I don't like it. Did he crap in AV's poutine fries or what?
-David Legwand roasts ref Timmy Peel post Game 3 (The Province). TBH I didn't like the call on Weber either but I'll take the break.
-Barry Trotz is still pissed about the calls on Smithson and Weber in Game 3. Not liking Luongo's antics either. (Vancouver Sun)
-Steve Sullivan will miss Game 4 with a lower body injury. (On The Forecheck)

I can’t take another one of those…why can’t the Preds employ such wonderful goaltending as the Flyers??

If Kesler prior to game 3 was Kesler with a monkey on his back… well, I have no way to complete that thought, but I don’t give half a fuck if he scores another goal this year if he plays the way he was playing.
Something tells me he will though.

Beanton forgets Bieksa when discussing Canuck players with great games in this playoffs so far.
And maybe Higgins and Hansen too.
But yes, KesLord is best.

Yeah. People were on him for not getting any goals, but a couple of his assists pretty much set up the goal on his own

Riiiiight. A guy that scores over 40 goals during the season has no intention of scoring in the playoffs because damn it he’s the best shutdown guy. You know Kesler wanted to bag one. That is called a monkey.

Getting a monkey off your back is ending a problem or burden. If you think Kesler had a “problem” prior to last game when he shut down every line he played against and still had 5 assists, you’re not understanding Kesler’s value.
Nucks Misconduct's Prophet of the KesLORD and Senior Meme Correspondent
"Because you are the most arrogant poster I have ever encountered. And I knew yoata pretty well. I hate arrogance."
he had a specific problem though, e.g. not scoring. thus that money has been de-backed.
It’s not saying he hadn’t been contributing (a lot!) to other aspects of the game
It’s saying there was a problem, I’m saying there wasn’t. No goals for Kesler wasn’t a problem, imo, since he was dominant without a goal and made his line successful. I realize what you’re saying, but it’s no more right than my argument. I took issue with the phrase “bagging” on our best player I guess.
Nucks Misconduct's Prophet of the KesLORD and Senior Meme Correspondent
"Because you are the most arrogant poster I have ever encountered. And I knew yoata pretty well. I hate arrogance."
I’m saying: In Kesler’s mind you have to think that he wanted to score goals rather than have a goose egg in that category. Any scorer wants to score regardless of the defensive role he’s accomplishing. But hey, we’ve been successful so far and of course I know how great he’s been without scoring. But I will bag on a 40 goal scorer scoring nothing in the playoffs regardless. That’s just me. I have high expectations.
Hey, at least I’m bagging on the Sedins too. They are drawing way more of my ire than Kesler :)

Well technically they tied the game last night. They won on aggregate though since they won 1-0 in Montreal.
I was so pissed at that fuckin diver in the box giving the Impact the Penalty Kick. Nobody touched him and he goes down like he got shot. Such a brutal call.
I was at the game in Montreal. Their supporters are awesome but unfortunately the game was at the same time as the habs-bruins game 7 game. It was great being the only Whitecaps fans on one side of the field. How do I know? When the only goal was scored, we were the only ones cheering.

Henrik/Daniel
I’m really not worried about them. The effort is there. There is no quit. They look a bit tired, and I think they are both banged up, but there is no laziness or slacking.
I, for one, will not be shredding them should they continue to struggle. They’ve done more for this franchise than they get credit for, and I will be cheering them from now until the day their numbers get raised to the rafters at the Garage.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
I honestly feel
If we get past Nashville they will start to really start putting up points. Chicago and Nashville have both had excellent top D pairings that have done a great job at disrupting the Sedin cycle game.

I couldn't agree more
Nucks fans have to be the most fickle group in the world. I do think Hank is playing hurt. But they’ll come through before all is said and done.

You say we are fickle, which we can be, but then you throw in that Hank is probably injured because he is futile..what the hell man? Making excuses for the guy? Silly.

OT, but:
C’MON DETROIT! Stop mucking around and win a game or 3 at least. I was hoping to go to a conference finals game (assuming we are fortunately enough to get past Nashville), and it would be nice to have half the games start at 7 or 8 EST rather than all of them starting at 10 EST.
Seriously Wings. Get it in gear.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
No disagreement there.
My other concern is that I said before the playoffs that it was either SJ or VAN winning the Cup, so I’d like to see SJ not make the conference finals.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
I'd like to see that series go long
mostly so that Vancouver is facing a tired and banged up winner.

Yeah. Was really pulling for the Wings last night. Just drag it out a little longer.

3-1 Nucks, Dank
Guess this means I will have to stop watching the game at least three times. Each Canucks goal in Game 3 came while I wasn’t watching.
Kesler’s first goal, I was helping my wife with something.
Higgins’ goal, I missed the beginning of the period and was checking up on baseball scores. (hey, crappy no-hitter was happening!)
OT goal? Fell asleep during the intermission, woke up to see the celebratory group hug.
Frowns, but if that’s what it takes to get Vancouver goals I’ll have to be ready to walk the dogs at night or something.
Work hard, play harder, rest easy.
List of errands for jwolf:
- Vacuum
- Clean out the fridge
- Wash the car
- Take the dogs for a walk
That should keep you busy enough during the period!

3-2 Kesler
I have had enough waiting for the Sedins to break out, so I’m not going to bet on them anymore.
Instead, I’ll choose Ryan Kesler. You can’t go wrong with that!
3 – 1 Going with Dank again. Let’s hope they worked on some plays to get Rinne moving side to side more often. I’d like to get this thing finished on Saturday since it looks like we might be the longest going series.
So, if we do have the longest series, say in 5 games, will they start the next round right away or still leave the break until when this round was supposed to finish??

Lapierre, Raymond, Ehrhoff (GWG), Burrows, H. Sedin (EN)
Fisher, Suter for Preds.
I think Samuelsson is hurt. Haven’t seen his patented nasty seeing-eye wrister that he’ll rip from anywhere. More along the lines of faking it, then passing off.
As far as Weber’s hooking penalty, sure, it was weak, but it was probably an even-up call for him punching Kesler in the back of the head just moments before.
Choker of chickens.

We are spoiled getting to listen to Hughson every game so far.
Regrettably, CBC realized that, and did their best to temper that pleasure with pairing him with Simpson.

The longer we get Hughson
The longer everyone else has conniption fits over his homerism. Win win

He's broadcasting on a Canadian national network...
…about a Canadian hockey team that happens to be the last one left in the playoffs. I don’t have a huge problem with it.
And Hughson, even though he is a homer, is a freaking amazing announcer. Which means his homerism should be more tolerable.

I kinda like......
Shorty + Larscheid > Hughson + Larcheid.
Shorty and Larscheid combo had that chemistry that made me want to listen to the games more than watch them.
That being said, when your colour analyst isn’t very good (cough cough Simpson cough Garret), I’d say Hughson does a better job alone than Shorty does.

if you’re into soul music the biltmore is having a soul night tomorrow night. it’ll be rife with hipsters, but the good thing about hipsters is that they hate paying for booze so the drink specials will be off the heezy. and soul music is good music, for realsies.
