Vancouver vs. Nashville – The Vancouver Canucks and Nashville Predators would get things going on the very first day of conference semifinal action. The Canucks fought hard through seven games, and overtime to advance. Nashville, on the other hand, took their series in only six games, giving them a few more days rest.
Many wonder whether or not Roberta Luongo will be able to carry the team after several sub-par performances in round one. For Nashville, Pekka Rinne is expected to continue his outstanding play against a very potent Canucks attack.
Game one featured outstanding goaltending, on both ends of the ice, but Luongo was better. He made 20 saves for Vancouver in the shutout effort, his second of the playoffs. Rinne made 29 saves, missing only one, which turned out to be the only one Vancouver would need. Let’s take a look at the game highlights for a full breakdown.
