Tim Wharnsby with CBC Sports is reporting that the Vancouver Canucks were hoping to stay in the city for Mother's Day. That dream will not be realized as the Nashville Predators took game 5 just a few hours ago 4-3, and both teams will leave for Nashville on Sunday morning. Is it possible to force a game 7? Time will tell.
"Tonight, the parts of the Sedin twins were played by Ren and Stimpy." While I wouldn't go that far, the twins have not been able to produce, and Pekka Rinne has been able to rob them both time and time again. While checking several message boards, I have found that some Vancouver hopefuls are calling for the coaching staff to cut their ice time. I've seen Nashville fans have similar reactions time and time again, and I do believe that the Vancouver staff will keep their money on the twins.
On Roberto Luongo: Luongo, Luongo, Luongo, you suck, it's all your fault.
Joel Ward scored two 3rd period goals in game 5 to keep the Predators alive. While he did very well tonight, I can't help but look back to game 3, where Joel looked tired from the start. Being consistent is key to stay alive. For the long haul, I believe that Joel Ward is going to be a definite need in the Predators future. He does have some issues to work out, but they are workable.
This series, and this season, has been all about first times. History is being made.
Happy Mother's Day Everyone! Well... not to everyone.
