Vancouver Canucks need to prohibit themselves from committing mistakes
After looking at the Canucks performance in the last game, the Canucks coach concluded that the team needs to commit fewer mistakes if they want to progress further in the play-offs and earn a spot in the Stanley Cup Final.
The Predators first three goals were all scored as a result of turnovers in the opposing defence. There were several more occasions where the Canucks looked out of touch and if it hadn’t been for the misses, the score would have been quite different.
The goal scorers of the first three goals were David Legwand and Joel Ward are very dangerous and if they continue to give them chances then they can bid farewell to their Stanley Cup Final hopes.
"Obviously it would've been better for us to get it done (Saturday) night, but that being said, hockey is a game of mistakes. We made some and they made us pay for it", coach of the Canucks, Alain Vigneault, said Sunday (May 8, 2011). "We're not going to
be perfect tomorrow; we're going to make mistakes also. We just got to find a way to win a game".
One of the star players of the team, Ryan Kesler, who also scored two goals in the 4-3 loss, said the Western Conference top seeds need to improve and commit fewer mistakes if they want to win.
Coach of the Canucks, Vigneault also added to the statement that the Sedin brothers were capable of coming up with strong performances. He was hoping that they would get better and show the dominance that they are capable of.
Daniel Sedin, who is the younger of the two twins, said that the two were unable to shine at the moment due to the fact that they lack on bounces. He has only come up with two assists during the series so far and is only minus 5.
His performances in a game surely effects the Canucks and if they want to move on in the play-offs then they surely need Daniel and Henrik Sedin, both to perform to the best of their abilities.
"I think both me and Henrik look after games at what happened and analyze the game", he said. "You earn your bounces and it's all about hard work. If you work hard enough, you'll get your bounces".
The Canucks also suffered a setback after the injury of Mikael Samuelsson, who got into a collision, with Nick Spaling that has effectively put him out of game six of the series. Though the coach didn’t give any clear cut answer as to who would replace Samuelsson,
he was hoping that whoever the replacement is, he would surely rise up to the challenge and win the game and series for the Canucks in the end.
