Nashville looks like the Sutter Flames. Just slapping players together to play with the mainstay goalie, winger and defenceman.

I don't have much confidence in either team to beat the Oilers after watching this.

Not happy at all.

He bled shots and high danger chances against. One of the worst on the team.

It probably has to be the Western Conference or Finals to take them out

So who matches up best against them? Dallas... then Florida? I guess those are who we should be rooting for. Maybe Vegas if they can get their goaltending figured out.

True. I'd say a poor man's Sutter team. And Vancouver is very unimpressive so far considering the opponent.

This is truly unbelievable. Probably the weakest Mickey Mouse bracket to get to the WCF.

Nashville or Vancouver with no goalie. Get to play LA who do nothing. Head to the WCF rested vs a team coming out of a bloodbath.

What a joke.

The Predators are actually quite good. 16-0-2 is nothing to sneeze at. But no, neither of these teams are the Hurricanes.

Canucks having a terrible time hitting the net tonight; with lots of zone pressure.
Nashville parking the bus and blocking everything.

Yeah, the Canucks have been a pretty lucky team this year so they're overdue for some of this.

Buffalo had a 10 game winning streak a couple of years ago and still ended as one of the worst teams in the league. Nashville isn't Buffalo but even bad teams go on extensive runs. Their roster seems like a cast of misfits.

Vegas or Colorado if either get goaltending.

This game is why all the fans who shout shoot all the time during a powerplay don't know what they are talking about. Lots of shot attempts with few quality shots against.

They're also way under the cap and loaded with draft picks. Where are all the people who hate "cheating" teams?

Canucks played scared hockey. Can't hang that on DeSmith the team in front of him was a mess.

Nashville is a good team, I think they will be proving it to some people in the next month or so. Roman Josi is as good as anyone.

Since Oilers will wipe out the kings I feel like oilers/canucks/preds are a game of rock paper scissors in the West . Preds can be trouble for the canucks, but oilers would beat the preds with their offensive power. Canucks could be trouble for oilers, but the style of the preds gives the Canucks problems.
Bottom line- Canucks need to figure out the preds because the Canucks can take the oilers, the preds cannot.
