If the Canucks do not improve on their passing skills and battling for the puck along the boards, their playoff run is going to end very quickly.  Out of 36 pass attempts they were successful on 29%.  Their battle for the puck along the boards was only 16%. Not a playoff quality skill level. 

Welcome.  But tonight's game is a success so far...not willing to "go there" at this point in time.  Stats don't tell the story tonight.

Kelly Sutherland strikes again

Ya that definitely felt like they were looking for the first opportunity to let Vegas back into the game.

SHOOT THE PUCK AT REAVES' HAND

I like these lines, hopefully Green doesn't change it.

It was also hooking, come on now.

[JoshuaGuy]

Haha. Completely bails when "Little Squirt" lining him up for a hit. Pussy. 

[Twilight Sparkle]

THEY HAVE VEGAS RUNNING AROUND SHOOT IT

Brilliant read by Green.

 

the problem last game was only 1/2 Canucks would carry the puck up the ice from the defensive zone 

 

that didn’t work so....   just treat your own zone like the offensive zone.  All(well a lot) of players help bring the puck up the ice.

 

that works.    That was the Vegas advantage - they attacked at the weak point - I guess the Canucks got away with an easy carry upside the last 2 series.   Now the advantage is gone.

 

Brilliant read by Green.

Tofoli is just loving playing with Petey.

Every time the camera catches him, he’s got this huge grin on his face.

[-NucksFan]

Vegas under pressure, music to my ears 

[xereau]

Vegas is cheating with 3 men at the blueline. TAKE IT DEEP.

[b3.]

Sutter is doing a killer job on the wing.
