Nashville Predators Drop Game 3 to Vancouver Canucks: Special Teams and Spencer Stastney



Filip Forsberg, Roman Josi, and the Nashville Predators took the ice at Bridgestone Arena for the first home playoff game in two years against JT Miller, Brock Boeser, and the Vancouver Canucks. While Nashville controlled much of the game at five on five, it was special teams that helped Vancouver get the road win in Game 3. On a special Saturday postgame Locked On Predators episode, Emma Lingan of The Hockey News joins us to talk about the 2-1 game. We recap the loss including our “one word” to describe the game. We take a closer look at what went wrong on special teams for the Predators and discuss why the missed opportunities for Nashville weren’t just about quantity but about game changing quality. The Predators lost one of their young defenders in last night’s game. We debate what comes next for the blue line if Spencer Stastney can’t return. Finally, we look ahead to tomorrow’ s Game 4. What do the Predators need to do in a game that at least feels a little “must win”?

  1. It was a mirror image of game two with the Canucks doing to Nashville what the Predators did to Vancouver last game. It's going to be a long series.

  2. Canucks fan here, I enjoy your show, always great info and always fair! 🔥🔥 I expect this series to go to game 7. Both teams play similer style, both are well coached, AB is a great coach so is Rick, best series in first round!

  3. Canucks fan here. So happy our pp finally showed up. Our pk has been really good all series. 5 on 5 Nashville dominated. I think it waa their best game of the series so far. Luckily DeSmith was good and we kept things to the perimeter. Preds stole game 2 and Canucks stole game 3. I'm worried about game 4 though. Nashville's pp is overdue and you have an excellent coach. I expect you to get it working soon. Canucks need to be sharper 5 on 5 or Nashville ties the series. Also I hope Nashville opens it up. That was the style they played in the first 3 meetings of the season and it worked out very well. The first half of the season Vancouver played a more open style and they actually had a better record. I think Tocchet has in his mind that this style won't win in the playoffs but in the case of Vancouver vs Nashville I see Vancouver having the superior fire power and I mean that respectfully. I actually think playing this low event shut down style against Nashville may be a tactical mistake

  4. Long time preds fan here gotta give credit to Vancouver. They played excellent defensively and gave us a taste of our own medicine after game 2. With that being said though can't be too upset with the game Nashville put up an impressive 5 on 5 performance that left us frustrated. Feel like the result should be different but there is a lot of positives from this game. My only major concern after game 3 is that special teams have to be better. It's going to be a good long series and I have no doubt that is they keep up the good play this could be a 7 game series.
    Go preds💛
