I'm happy to see my home team advance. With both goalies playing on their heads today, the game remained 0-0 for most of the game. The only goal of the game came late with only 1:39 left to play in regulation, when Boeser backhands a perfect pass to Suter who buried the puck to the back of the net. In desperation, the Preds pulled their goalie and was playing 6 on 5 to try to tie the game with little time left on the clock. To make matters worse for the Canucks, Lindholm commits a penalty to put the Preds on power play with 34 seconds left in regulation. Now playing 6 on 4, the Canucks scramble to hold onto their 1 goal lead and finished off the Predators 4 games to 2. The Predators never won a home game in this series. And a big kudos and big congratulations to Silovs for his playoff shutout!
Canucks face the Oilers in the next round, going from facing a good defensive team to facing an offensive power house. I don't feel so confident with the matchup against the Oilers, but I do hope my home team prevails in the next round to head back to the western conference final. Go Canucks go!
