Why was the Stanley Cup at Bridgestone Arena on Thursday? Because Tim McGraw brought it out during his concert the day before a Predators playoff game
Andrew Brunette thinks the Nashville Predators need to do improve in several areas in order to take Game 3 against the Vancouver Canucks.
Casey DeSmith has fond memories of the last time he was at a Stanley Cup Playoff game at Bridgestone Arena. "I was actually here when the [Pittsburgh Penguins] won [the Stanley Cup] in Nashville and that was one of the most electric buildings I've ever been in," the Vancouver Canucks goalie said Thursday. DeSmith was an extra for the Penguins during the Stanley Cup Final in 2017. The 32-year-old will make his second straight start in place of Thatcher Demko, who is week to week after sustaining an undisclosed injury during Vancouver's 4-2 win in Game 1 on Sunday.

The Vancouver Canucks were dealt a brutal blow in between Games 1 and 2 of their best-of-seven series against the Nashville Predators. The Canucks, who won the opener, 4-2, announced that goaltender Thatcher Demko would miss some time — perhaps the remainder of Round 1 — with an injury unrelated to the one that caused him to miss considerable time down the stretch. Vancouver has plenty of star power outside of Demko, but there's no question that losing the American netminder for more than a few games would put a serious damper on Vancouver's postseason chances. As hard as it
NHL playoffs time means it's time for playoff beards. Here are the Nashville Predators who have the best and worst playoff beards.
Nashville Predators General Manager Barry Trotz announced today that the team has recalled forward Juuso Parssinen from Milwaukee (AHL). The 6-foot-3, 212-pound forward recorded eight goals and 12 points in his second NHL campaign, with two of his goals coming on the power play. Parssinen also added 62 hits and 16 takeaways for Nashville in 2023-24.
With just 24 hours until the Vancouver Canucks return to the ice for Game 3 of their playoff matchup with the Nashville Predators, head coach Rick Tocchet is laying out what he wants to see from his team. The Canucks have gone 0-for-6 on the power play so far in a series now split 1-1 with the Predators. Game 2 saw the team pour increasing pressure on Nashville into the third period, but despite 84 shot attempts, the Canucks managed to put just 18 on net.
The Nashville Predators have added Juuso Parssinen to their lineup ahead of Game 3 against the Vancouver Canucks.
The Vancouver Canucks have travelled more than 3,000 kilometres for Game 3 of their first-round playoff series against the Nashville Predators. The journey across North America has brought them to Music City, where they'll want to steal at least one game after splitting the first two battles in Vancouver. The Rogers Arena crowd was loud in their support of the Canucks during the first two games and now the team will need to embrace the opposite role as the series changes locations. The Predators have gone on some deep playoff runs over recent years and their fans have a reputation for being rowdy.
With a potential 2-0 series deficit against the Vancouver Canucks staring them in the face, as well as 18,960 fans of Rogers Arena, the Nashville Predators tweaked their game slightly to play the perfect road playoff game. Now the Predators get to take Smashville back home for Games 3 and 4. Here are some takeaways from Tuesday's Game 2. Block parties are usually joyous affairs, where the neighborhood denizens gather together under the sun for some relaxation and libations.
Earlier in the day, Vancouver head coach Rick Tocchet announced that goalie Thatcher Demko would not play due to injury. Tocchet would not elaborate on the injury, only saying, “It might have been in the game, but I'm not quite sure because he skated yesterday.” Demko played all of Game 1 for the Cunucks on Sunday. The Preds struck first when Anthony Beauvillier tipped the pass in from Filip Forsberg just 1:14 into the 1st period to take the early lead, 1-0.
Filip Forsberg scored a goal and had an assist, and the Nashville Predators beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-1 on Tuesday night to level their best-of-seven playoff series at 1-1. Anthony Beauvillier — a former Canuck — also had a goal and an assist for the Predators, Colton Sissons and Kiefer Sherwood had goals, and Juuse Saros made 17 saves.
Elias Pettersson was far from his best on Tuesday night as the Vancouver Canucks lost Game 2 of their first round series against the Nashville Predators. Pettersson had a wide-open target and hit the side of the net. The missed opportunity was a frustrating moment in a game full of them. The Predators had 30 blocked shots on the night and made it difficult for the Canucks to get anything through.

Coach Rick Tocchet confirmed Tuesday that Demko would miss Tuesday's matchup. Demko will be treated as day-to-day going forward, Tocchet told media, adding that the first-string goaltender skated with the team on Monday. Backup goalie Casey DeSmith is expected to start and was on the ice with Arturs Silovs.

Dakota Joshua said it was a “spectacle.” Quinn Hughes called it “electric.” Rick Tocchet described it as “incredible.” Canucks fans welcomed the return of Stanley Cup Playoff hockey back to Vancouver with a jet airplane roar.
Many moments decided the outcome of the Nashville Predators loss to Vancouver Canucks in Game 1, but Alex Carrier's mistake stands out the most.
Since not everyone can go to a Canucks playoff game as they faceoff against the Nashville Predators, be they in Kitsilano or Kitimat, here's an attempt to capture some of the energy from Rogers Arena as a fan whose earliest hockey memory is the raising of Stan Smyl's #12 into the rafters but who's never seen a Stanley Cup game in person. It's electric; that's a term I don't like to use often since it's a cliche, but having shocked myself a couple of times and watched with my own eyes Quinn Hughes fire a shot in from the point, I can say there's surprisingly little difference. If you're looking for a break down of the game, Daniel Wagner has you covered here. Like Dante in Clerks, I wasn't even supposed to be at Rogers Arena on Sunday, but luckily scored a last-minute Game 1 ticket, from my sister's partner — a season ticket holder who bought early.
Elias Lindholm had goosebumps as he took the ice for warm-ups on Sunday. For the first time in nine years, the Vancouver Canucks were hosting a playoff game - and the crowd of 18,967 wasn't shy about showing their appreciation for post-season hockey, waving white towels, cheering and jeering consistently for more than three hours. Vancouver hockey fans were treated to a show as the Canucks stormed back from a second-period deficit for a 4-2 win over the Nashville Predators in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series. Dakota Joshua scored twice and contributed an assist, while Elias Lindholm and Pius Sutter also found the back of the net.
This looks like a winnable playoff series for the Nashville Predators. But what they showed in Game 1, it's not going to suffice against the Canucks.

In 1993 Kim Campbell became Canada's first female prime minister, the fidget spinner and Beanie Babies were rolled out, the World Wide Web became a thing, Jurassic Park was the most popular film, the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series — and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. In fact, those talented Canadiens were the last Canadian team to get their mitts on the coveted Cup. Canada has four teams trying to end that 31-year drought this spring — the Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks, Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers.
