I imagine at the heart of the Preds game plan is to attack Hughes at all times.
Then Jeremy Hronek can show Canucks mgmt what his real price will be. If Hronek wants a contract starting with an 8 then he would show all why he's worth it.

Yep, not a lot of experience on Van's side, and not playing their best down the stretch. Some disturbing rumors of injury.

I 100% think if the Canucks play the way they can, there will be no doubt in the outcome of this series.

The question is will/can they?

Double teaming Hughes leads to alot of odd man rushes for the Canucks. I would like to see them deploy that strategy

Good point. This post season will definitely dictate Hronek’s strength at the negotiating table

I’ll be curious to see Brunettes game plan regarding when Hughes is on the ice.

While there's something to be said about 'playoff experience', I think that Tocchet has the team playing well, and in a system that it shouldn't really matter who has playoff experience and who doesn't. The intensity will be there on both sides. For age, size and overall experience, these teams are fairly equal.

Two keys to success. Wear black and don’t play U2.
But will management listen?

Vegas Golden Knights.

First year in the nhl and look at what they did. A good system would also win out of playoff experience of the Laughs would have more than 1 playoff round win.
