Canucks need some more Higgybum in Rinne's business. Wait, that's doesn't sound right.
The Canucks need to bugger Rinne. Nope, that's not right either.

Game Day Recon: Western Conference Semifinal Game 5 - Predators @ Canucks
Two weeks ago, the panic level amongst Canucks fans went through the roof, as the Canucks failed, then failed again, then failed again, to eliminate the Chicago Blackhawks.
Well that was then, and this is now. And the Canucks aren't playing the Blackhawks anymore.
Can the Vancouver Canucks prove that they're ruthless and eliminate the Nashville Predators tonight?

Kesler went into BEAST MODE on his game winning goal.
Then he showed the Predators faithful his best Byfuglien impression.

Game Review: Western Conference Semfinal Game 4 - Canucks @ Predators
The Vancouver Canucks played arguably their most dominant game against the Nashville Predators last night. And it was a well-worn cliche that finally got them there.
On Thursday, the Canucks' best players were their best players. And once again, #17 led the way.

Ryan Kesler, you are a magnificent beast. Can you wrap it up in three periods though?

Game Day Recon: Western Conference Semifinal Game 4 - Canucks @ Predators
The Vancouver Canucks finally got their bounces. They got none in the opening round against Chicago, and none through the first two games against Nashville. Those lucky bounces and goals seemed to be going AGAINST the Canucks, but Game 3 saw that change. As the adage goes, "You have to be good to be lucky and lucky to be good."
So has the Canucks puck luck finally swung in their favour?
If so, can we expect the Sedins, specifically Henrik, to finally break out on the scoresheet tonight?

Score. Score score score score score. And then again. Score. Just like that.

Game Day Recon: Western Conference Semifinal Game 3 - Canucks @ Predators
The Vancouver Canucks find themselves in a familiar position - Tied 1-1 in a second round series and headed into enemy territory for Game 3. At least this time around, the enemy territory isn't the United Center. But the Canucks face a daunting task in getting one of their best weapons into gear - their offense.
Can the Canucks' guns start firing against the Predators stifling defense and their rock-wall of a goalie?

If the Canucks can get Rinne to flop and slide (see above) they might score more than 1 goal.

Game Day Recon: Western Conference Semifinal Game 2 - Predators @ Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks slugged out a win in Game 1. It was boring, it was uneventful, it was a battle of two Vezina nominees. It was ugly but it was a win. And in the playoffs, it doesn't matter how you win. It just matters THAT you win.
So what do they do to make it more convincing?
