Mabuhay Red Wings 177 Report post Posted April 29, 2011 how is this game? seems like rinne is standing on him head? He's played well so far. The Preds haven't had any sustained pressure whatsoever and the Nucks are dominating the faceoff circle. Nucks also dominating puck possession in general.

Firehawk 305 Report post Posted April 29, 2011 Can someone give a quick synopsis of the 1st period for me? How is Nashville looking against vancouver? Is vancouver showing any signs of wear/tear or letdown? I thought the game started at 10 or 10:30 so I just sat down to watch it and it's 1st intermission! DOH!

Vancouver is dominating on the dot and controlling most of the play. Rinne is playing very well. The Preds have had very little sustained pressure. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the Canucks score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't see any signs of weardown on Vancouver at all. They got some quality shots and chances. Rinne has been solid though. Nashville hasn't had much time with the puck, imo.

Firehawk 305 Report post Posted April 29, 2011 Have the preds at least been laying the smackdown on Vancouver? Frankly I don't have nashville standing a chance, but maybe they can beat Vancouver up by hitting them every chance. Thanks for the summary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 38 Report post Posted April 29, 2011 I'm a stickler about quality. Yes, I realize this is funny after what I just admitted too. I can never find too many high quality streams outside of game center, but then I have to deal with the blackouts. I like to watch TV in general though so cable isn't a complete waste. Preds PK takes care of business. 1:29 of fresh ice PP time for the Preds when play resumes in the 2nd. Hockeystreams.com has no blackouts and is less than half the price of GameCenter.

Mabuhay Red Wings 177 Report post Posted April 29, 2011 Have the preds at least been laying the smackdown on Vancouver? Not really. The Nucks are seriously 2 or 3 steps ahead of the Preds right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Save The Octopus Report post Posted April 29, 2011 Hockeystreams.com has no blackouts and is less than half the price of GameCenter. I've looked at them before. It doesn't seem kosher if you know what I mean. The Preds are lucky they have Rinne and are even luckier that he is not playing as poorly as he was against the Ducks.

Mabuhay Red Wings 177 Report post Posted April 29, 2011 On that PP I wish that the Preds would just give it to Weber and get out of his way but the Nucks are doing a great job taking away his space to wind up and shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firehawk 305 Report post Posted April 29, 2011 Having watched about 10 minutes of this game it doesn't look like anywhere near the intensity of the chicago series. Is nashville really that inferior or are they rusty? WTF? Well, given what Rinne is doing maybe we should be fortunate to draw Niemi and his dangerous 86% save percentage.

Guest Save The Octopus Report post Posted April 29, 2011 Would you be more worried if you were a Preds fan, inability to generate any kind of offense, or a Canucks fan, inability to bury the puck despite dominating every facet of the game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Save The Octopus Report post Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Nashville is rusty. Trotz implied as such during a short mid-game interview that their compete level is pretty bad right now. They've had an entire period to work out the rust. That should be more than enough time for an NHL team to get back in the swing of things. The Preds are just playing against a much better team right now. Any game where Luongo's name isn't mentioned is a game that the Canucks are going to win. So far, that is ringing true.

Guest Save The Octopus Report post Posted April 29, 2011 The way Nashville has played, that may be the only goal Vancouver needs tonight... QFT. The Canucks could play with 5 forwards for the rest of the game and not give up a goal. The Preds are completely pinned in their own zone and generating absolutely nothing.
