[Manhattanboy]

Fun night to be a Canucks fan.

Getting lots of thank you Conroy texts from Nucks fans.

I really question your motives on here

Kuz is a high skill player but he was a throw in for cap space. When the Canucks don't win the cup and the Flames still have all the assets it will be hard to call anything a win for them.

Dallas, Colorado, Vegas would absolutely destroy either team

Woo, good job Canucks!

I thought it was a tied series. Hopefully the whales can end their series quickly and rest & prep to drub loserville.

And then get destroyed in the most lop sided Western final in history

Likewise to Alvin for sending us that king's ransom.

Precisely!

[Meers]

Good to see Boeser gearing up for some four goal efforts against the Oilers in Round Two.

Canucks are kryptonite for Edmonton this season.

I think the winner of VGK/DAL/COL is rolling whoever comes out of the other (weaker) bracket.... easily. I can live with that victim being the nucks.

The horseshoes never end with this year's Canucks.

Unbelievable sequence of Nashville not being able to score an empty netter, and then collapse.

Preds just don't have enough finish in general. Outshoot Canucks heavily every game but can't ice it.

They think it's over now. The Vancouver mentality.

Seems everyone does yet the Preds have been the better team...3-1 comeback is not all that rare. Next game is big IMO

Yeah I think it's 1/11 chance to come back and win. Seems a lot more likely in this one than the eastern series.

And that includes all the times the Leafs lost a series leading 3-1.

[Toonage]

Nah. Canucks can go ahead and finish Nashville off now I suppose. Then get healthy to, in all likelihood, face the Oilers.

[Sylvanfan]

So if I'm not mistaken, Saros is now 4-10 in his playoff career. Although it's 3-7 if you don't count that playin loss to Arizona. He's got to start playing better. He's now the 4th best goaltender in this series.

If the Kings move to the 2nd round, I don't know if I cheer for Nucks

You’re right. So 3 losses away from improved draft position for the Van 1st rounder

Ah.. "horseshoes"

Pre-mapping the excuses for two weeks from now I see.

Of course the next game is big. If the Predators don't win they will be eliminated.
