The Canucks thought they learned that lesson after nearly blowing a 3-0 series lead and needing overtime in Game 7 to knock off the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round. They led Nashville 3-1 only to see the Predators win their first elimination game in six tries Saturday night to extend this Western Conference semifinal to Game 6 on Monday night in Nashville.
Vancouver is 1-4 when having a chance to eliminate an opponent this postseason. The Presidents' Trophy winners are 6-1 in their other playoff games this year.
"What more do you want to learn," goalie Roberto Luongo said Sunday before the Canucks left for a trip they had hoped to avoid. "We should know by now what it takes. When a team has their back up against the wall, that's when they are going to play their best hockey of the season. And for us to win that game we need to have that same desperation level."
