But let\u2019s face it; the Vancouver Canucks appear to be simply too much for the Nashville Predators. Up 3-1 in the series, Vancouver has a chance to close out the series at home on Saturday night!<\/p>\n<p>If there is one word to describe the Nashville Predators it is spirited. They are as pesky a team as there is in the NHL but their one glaring flaw is magnified when they play a team like the Vancouver Canucks \u2013 there simply isn\u2019t enough offensive fire power on the team! Patric Hornqvist is pointless in his last six games, Sergei Kostitsyn is pointless in six and Mike Fisher is pointless in his last five games. Thank goodness for Joel Ward and Nick Spaling!<\/p>\n<p>Poor Pekka Rinne \u2013 he is 1-3-0 in the series so far with a very respectable 1.69 goals against average.  <\/p>\n<p>The Vancouver Canucks might as well ride the Ryan Kesler wave into the next round. The dude is getting assists with broken sticks for crying out loud! Vancouver is a confident bunch right now and is not scared to throw out any one of their four lines at any time of the game. The Canucks are a handful for any team \u2013 and by the way, thanks Henrik Sedin for scoring your first goal in 16 games into an empty net to take the game over the total!  <iframe allowtransparency='true' src='http:\/\/ff.connextra.com\/Bodog\/selector\/client?client=Bodog&#038;placement=Ext_RS_Sports_250x250&#038;cxt_aff_id=151627&#038;tclk=http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/' class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" width='250' height='250' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border-width:0'><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>Roberto Luongo is 4-1-0 in his last five games since being benched against Chicago with a 1.20 goals against average.
