Engage Beast Mode - Canucks @ Predators Gamethread
Vancouver Canucks at Nashville Predators, Feb 7, 2012 5:00 PM PST
Don't mind me, I'm just remembering our last 2 visits to the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. As shown in the video above as a demo, Ryan Kesler was in absolute beast mode when we played the Predators in the 2nd round last spring. This will be the first time Nashville fans will get to see our boys in their arena since we eliminated their team on their own turf.
Coconuts go.

Not a good start for Ottawa – first shot on net is tipped by Chris Porter and by Craig Anderson, 1-0 Blues

One of those jerks from Nucks Misconduct
@KentBaskyNM
Holy crap. Look at Rome!!- Sean Zandberg
The Preds only have 5 blocks
the Canucks have 8 misses ( 5 Preds ) and 7 blocks.
So the shots ( 28-17 ) is maybe a little troubling, but I did not think, other than PPs, that it was THAT uneven of a game.
They are both good teams, and the cycle has been very good at both ends.
Chin up. They killed two penalties ( almost, 38 sec left to start 3rd )…and 11 of those shots are against the PP. Ours had one on net, and it went in the net! Get a PP in the third after killing this one off to start, and I like the Canuck chances

- Chance to be first team to 20 road wins by Saturday

I'll deny that
are they at their best? No. But there was a better game tonight, and a lot of well done defending in their own end while under pressure.
hell, entire PP’s seemed to spend a lot of time to the outside.
Are they clicking along and dominating? Of course not. But, for instance, the third saw only a couple half decent chances for the Preds all period, while a team with three of four new lines ( mostly ) once again dominated a third period.
Great teams find a way to win is all. Imagine when they really get going!
