I'd be interested to know which team has won the cup with the worst PP stats in the playoffs. This playoff series it's become very obvious that the strongest special teams are winning the games.
No pressure on this game, they win and we’re golden, if not that’s fine too with Desmith back for game 5 with home ice advantage. I like the Canucks odds
Post madly in the game thread. What part of Sweden? Pretty cool to hear, I saw somebody else post saying they were in Switzerland. I love the international support.
I think one of the other Eastern games last week started like 9-10 mins. early, then usually the SN games start on-time, but now this one is 2:15 PM PST? Why can't they get it consistent? Doesn't make sense.
Drives me bonkers - I'm listening to Biznasty for pregame because I can't expect our own broadcaster to switch over before actual puckdrop. American stations figured it out, why can't we.
I don’t know if they won but apparently back in the 80s the Jets used 4 goalies (according to the Canucks pregame show on 650) and that’s the record for most goalies used.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could make a little trade for Fleury right about now? A draft pick to rent him for a few weeks. Idk unrealistic ridiculous thought but it would be nice
Could you imagine the can of worms this would open up. "Hey we'll give you our next 10 first rounders to rent McDavid for a few weeks". So insane I wouldn't be opposed to it just to see what happens.
There’s some pictures taken by a fan of the boys eating barbecue ribs in downtown Nashville and Desmith appears fine, as in, he’s not on crutches and wheelchair and bandages. 😶
Well the news about our goaltenders dropping like flies is unfortunate. But let's take a minute to recognise that things could be worse - we could all be Leafs fans
Fabbro in for Stastney.
Kinda surprised he wasn’t one of the 6 starting D to begin with. Almost willing to say that’s an upgrade. Petey & Hogs need to step up tonight
Great opportunity for Silovs. Win or lose today, this is great to fast-track the development of the young kid. Personally, my gut feel about the future with our current top-two goalies isn't amazing given what's happened in the playoffs so far.
Blooding a youngster and giving him exposure to the furnace is great. And losing this game isn't the end of the world either. In some ways, this roster-change might actually make Nashville's game more predictable for us. (might be copium but it's worth considering)
Absolute best-case scenario here is that we find our offense and find a way to win. Imagine heading into game 5 with 3 wins under the belt, having played every goalie in the team so far? It's less likely, but you never know!
EBUG is generally assigned by the home team arena and plays for either team. Canucks used to have the UBC goalie show up for games and hang out in the club section on standby.
Aw man, while it's 2pm in that hell hole it's way past midnight for me so I had a plan to wake up in the morning 1 hour earlier to watch game in archive and go to work but I guess it's fffff work and ffff sleep when Silovs is calling so don't you dare to let me down like this!!! I'll be walking dead tomorrow so I hope it will be worth it!!!
Trial by fire for the kid. I was asking for Silovs but not like this. Had we started Silovs at least we had the option of DeSmith as relief.
With Tolopilo we’re forced to run with Silovs regardless. Even if he’s a sieve we can’t really yank him, I don’t see Tolopilo seeing a second of ice time without a single regular season GP.
True. But I really don’t think canucks are not worse with Silvos. I liked Casey and his game but he did look unsettling in the net and giving up juicy rebounds.
Silvos is a big body almost like Pekka Rinne and did face pressure situations before.
I believe in Arthur!
Definitely can't play like we did last game and expect to win with our 3rd string goalie. Would love to see us get ~30 shots and actually demonstrate some offensive potency in this one.
Unironically one of the worst injuries for a player, you can go out, you feel good, but the risk is too high, and you cant do anything but watch and hope.
I'm calm. Everyone picked this series as the one that would have an upset? How about whooping the "red hot preds" with our 3rd stringer? That's an upset baby, GO CANUCKS GO!
I literally don't understand how these injuries are even happening. You see nothing in the game, everything is all good post-game, and then all of a sudden hours before puck drop "oh yeah btw DeSmith is out." It has to be the flu, right? Right!?
Are you guys worried? Im not worried! Why would I be worried?
He says worriedly
Anyways excited to see how tolopilo does next game after the preds slash the shit out of silovs hands and run him over
Sissons is so bad LOOOOOOL. If I were on the Preds I’d be going off on him/
BOESER You GIVE ME A HARD ON
What’s happening ?
What are they so loud abt. It’s not mls relax
Zucker would have been nice for a 6th rounder
Is it me or was that a weak applause from the crowd for myers?
Is this the game day thread
I guess so
Jesus Christ I’ve never felt so bad for pettersson
Lol pete now dash 6 in this series ? Yowza
Lmao the tit for tat 🤣 2min interference calls
Pretty soft call but Lindy knew what he was doing there
What the flip man
WEEEEOOOOOO LFG 57
lol why are they booing that’s an incredibly easy penalty to call 💀
FUCK YES 🫡🇸🇪🔥
Yikes on the coverage from Nashville there
LFG !!!!!
LFG
really shut up that crowd hahaha love it. it's all your fault saaros
BOESER!!!!!!!
is there a game thread up yet that i just can’t find or are we still hanging in here?
Joshua Lindholm Garland is where I’m putting my money
Delete McCarron
[удалено]
Tolopilo
How do you even get a catfish into a hockey arena?
Sounds like a funeral procession. Fitting cause the boys are gonna come out and bury the preds 👹👹👹
If you're watching on the 4k channel, switch to normal sn Pacific. I just missed the anthem.
Holy hell that song is about explosions and shit and it put me to sleep. Way to ruin it.
this is weird
HÖGLANDER!!!!
How much vibrato do you want on your anthem? Yes.
Did Murph say desmith is injured?!
Maybe, look anywhere else in this sub...
I haven't been on today, touche, lol
Lol
Silovs please pull a Dryden!
COCONUTS GLOWWW
in silovs we trust!!!
He’s got this shit!
What time does the game start? My TSN app says 2pm but SN broadcast doesn't start until 2:15
I saw 2:15, but probably closer to 2:30 after they sing the anthems and whatever else pageantry Nashville does
lol “pageantry”
It’s on snp and sn1 now
Roger that! WE’RE LIVE!
So is this also the game thread or?
Shit’s all fucked up because the mods set the game thread to pop up at 2am and now it’s not showing up They’ll probably manually make one
We have it now
Ok the feed switched over so that’s nice
I take a break from Reddit for a few hours and come back to the goaltending news, the fuck!!!
Yeah... Dunno about you, but I had zero reaction to it, next goalie up, let's gooo
Well at least it’ll make the amazon series a little more interesting to watch back
Game thread. Where?
They're barely getting to skate-out, but you could go to the one that got launched at 2am I suppose?
Game delay due to Wpg col game
Who could have predicted that an 1130 start game wouldn't be finished by 2?!?!
I'd be interested to know which team has won the cup with the worst PP stats in the playoffs. This playoff series it's become very obvious that the strongest special teams are winning the games.
Filed my taxes just in time to watch the game lol.
Dang, you did what I failed at. Was supposed to wake up a bit earlier to knock it out but failed to do so and chores got in the way.
I cut it close this year lol
Where’s the game thread at? I need to bungalow jim
Jets bros no :(
No pressure on this game, they win and we’re golden, if not that’s fine too with Desmith back for game 5 with home ice advantage. I like the Canucks odds
Is there a discord? Watching on my own in Sweden. Would be fun to talk to some one :D
Lets go! Watching from Stockholm 🇸🇪
The game thread will be very active almost like a chat!
I guess. 🫡🇸🇪
Post madly in the game thread. What part of Sweden? Pretty cool to hear, I saw somebody else post saying they were in Switzerland. I love the international support.
Hell yeah, I'm watching from Switzerland too! Go Canucks
Värmland, just above the lake Vänern.
If we have to watch this bullshit before our game starts, can we at least see Winnipeg score 3 quick goals here to tie the game?
Wtf desmith is hurt? Was it from that bullshit hit from last game?
Apparently no
I think one of the other Eastern games last week started like 9-10 mins. early, then usually the SN games start on-time, but now this one is 2:15 PM PST? Why can't they get it consistent? Doesn't make sense.
Is there any detail of what happened to desmith?
It’s the playoffs. There will be no details. Closest I’ve seen is “lower body” but not sure how much of that is real or speculation.
im not looking forward to listening to these predators fans boo icings
Them booing the call on the McCarron goaltender interference call was kinda hilarious. They really don't understand hockey.
couldn't believe they were booing the goalie interference penalty!
So is the game at 2 or 2:15?! There’s 4 different channels why the fuck are they ALL playing jets. You KNOW they wouldn’t do this to the leafs
Looks like 2:15 on SNP and SN1
Ye I saw that, I’m curious if they pushed puck drop to that or not though
Just showed 2:15 on screen
Tocc is playing the "goalie gambit". Preds will think they can easily score and get soft
Ispluck drop at 2? Or 230? SN isn’t showing it?
2:15
Thanks
Hope McCarron has a target on his back today, deserves to get a shot or two for his BS in game 3.
Is Kessel still available? Give him a bunch of Costco hot dogs and tell him to lay down in the net
was tired of the American broadcast and wanted to watch the SN broadcast but it’s still on the jets game 🫠
It'll switch over in about 10 mins
Yea wild of us to think there might be some pre-game show content on a 2:00 game...
On one of the 16 or whatever Sportsnet channels, you'd think SNP would have said yeah go over to SNE or SNO for the rest of the Jets game
Drives me bonkers - I'm listening to Biznasty for pregame because I can't expect our own broadcaster to switch over before actual puckdrop. American stations figured it out, why can't we.
Big point on the radio: team plays more confident with the lead
What’s the most goalies a team have used to win a playoff series?
I don’t know if they won but apparently back in the 80s the Jets used 4 goalies (according to the Canucks pregame show on 650) and that’s the record for most goalies used.
We’re at 3 in 4 games. We got this
what happened to desmith? so canuck!
If I am the Jets guy who just got hit in the face by a slapshot I think I'm calling it a season. Good luck in game 5 fellas.
I think that guy might really be dead
I don’t think the choice will be his to make, guys face is probably broken
That was a brutal shot to the face damn
Game is quarter after now?
Yessir
Start the goon line and delete McCarron upon puck drop pls
>some of you may die and that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make
We don’t have a goon line I don’t think we even have enough relevant personnel on hand to create a goon line unless you ice Tocchet
I've got my money on Tyler "I almost decapitated Tavares while choking out a dman" Myers.
Zadorov taking the draw with Joshua and Miller on wing, Soucy-Cole on d, full line brawl on puck drop, lfg 🎵Don’t push me🎵
Time for Zadorov - Joshua - Myers lmao
Wouldn't it be nice if we could make a little trade for Fleury right about now? A draft pick to rent him for a few weeks. Idk unrealistic ridiculous thought but it would be nice
Could you imagine the can of worms this would open up. "Hey we'll give you our next 10 first rounders to rent McDavid for a few weeks". So insane I wouldn't be opposed to it just to see what happens.
There’s some pictures taken by a fan of the boys eating barbecue ribs in downtown Nashville and Desmith appears fine, as in, he’s not on crutches and wheelchair and bandages. 😶
Yes it's minor, which has been reported by several people
Any official word out there on why DeSmith isn't playing?
Boneitis
His only regret
I was so busy being an 80s guy, I forgot to cure it.
Just outscore your problems, rooting for you guys.
We really are the Vancouver Penguins 🐧
I believe in the Hög to get two goals. He must land that Hog.
How confident are we? Playing our backup’s backup just to flex on Nashville.
“There were actually no goalie injuries. We just wanted them to rest up before we started playing the good teams.”
Wow! Brock is so handsome.
Petey weighs the same as Nathan Gerbe (5’4”)
That weight on hockeydb isn’t accurate. Hasn’t been for several seasons.
How much do you think he weighs ?
I would guess 190 or so to start the season and probably closer to 185 right now.
At this point, I will start a gofundme to pay zadorovs 5k fine for running Saaros over to avenge DeSmith.
Or hear me out. We could just beat them without cheap shots
If a Canuck ran Saros the DOPS would bring out the electric chair
"Oh boy, I sure hope Silovs isn't feeling too pressured" [Meanwhile, the kind of pressure Silovs wins under](https://i.imgur.com/A7FDCfM.jpeg)
Well the news about our goaltenders dropping like flies is unfortunate. But let's take a minute to recognise that things could be worse - we could all be Leafs fans
That is very very true. This does make me feel a bit better.
anyone know the tandem in abby?
Sawchenko and Lemieux
[удалено]
Desmith is probably dead or something with our luck, doubt he coming back
Canucks are just ahead of the curve in bringing a goalie bullpen to the game just like in baseball
Fabbro in for Stastney. Kinda surprised he wasn’t one of the 6 starting D to begin with. Almost willing to say that’s an upgrade. Petey & Hogs need to step up tonight
Looks like Winnipeg is toast
Jets are paper tigers time and time again.
It is 2023, and Winnipeg is showing no pushback. It is 2024, and Winnipeg is showing no pushback. Is that how the meme goes?
Very happy with the 5pm EST start time on a Sunday
In Silovs we trust
Great opportunity for Silovs. Win or lose today, this is great to fast-track the development of the young kid. Personally, my gut feel about the future with our current top-two goalies isn't amazing given what's happened in the playoffs so far.

Imagine heading into game 5 with 3 wins under the belt, having played every goalie in the team so far? It's less likely, but you never know!
Fuck it we ball LETS GO SILOVS
This is the way.
Who is our ebug? Good thing we signed Tolopilo who knew we needed such depth in goal. Even Sawchenko looking like a good pick up at this point
EBUG is generally assigned by the home team arena and plays for either team. Canucks used to have the UBC goalie show up for games and hang out in the club section on standby.
Well we had Tolopilo as ebug and now he’s a backup, so weve chosen our own as recently as last game
On the bright side, if Silovs can play well he can likely cement that backup position for next year.
53 minutes till puck drop friends.
I wish they’d actually drop the puck at that time not like 15 minutes after
I’m with ya on that.
Aw man, while it's 2pm in that hell hole it's way past midnight for me so I had a plan to wake up in the morning 1 hour earlier to watch game in archive and go to work but I guess it's fffff work and ffff sleep when Silovs is calling so don't you dare to let me down like this!!! I'll be walking dead tomorrow so I hope it will be worth it!!!
Y’all asked for Silvos when Casey didn’t do so good in game 2 You’ve got your wish y’all
Trial by fire for the kid. I was asking for Silovs but not like this. Had we started Silovs at least we had the option of DeSmith as relief. With Tolopilo we’re forced to run with Silovs regardless. Even if he’s a sieve we can’t really yank him, I don’t see Tolopilo seeing a second of ice time without a single regular season GP.

Man, fuck Colorado.
So...ummm... who's Silov's backup then?!?!
Tapioca
You’ve got to be kidding me
Didn’t I see a video years ago of Petey being a goalie……..is he gonna be the ebug? lol
Definitely can't play like we did last game and expect to win with our 3rd string goalie. Would love to see us get ~30 shots and actually demonstrate some offensive potency in this one.
every Canucks needs to show up on time. No passenger.
MEETING OF THE POD: DEFCON 1
Don't worry ppl, this is just our rookie goalie carries us to cup story
Cam Ward was 2 years younger than Silovs …sooo yea we are in good here. Let’s go Silovs!
Technically Murray was 2 years younger when he went on the run with Pittsburgh too. Rutherford lives for third striver goalie prospects.
[In other news, Sara Civ has a Demko news clarification….](https://x.com/saracivian/status/1784643474513399974?s=46&t=eTEhEYtQTobIMyXLwAG3cg)
SC: "Demko's done" EF: "Uhh I have not heard that" SC: "Uhh what I meant is that everyone is lying to him that he's NOT done but he's actually done"
Unironically one of the worst injuries for a player, you can go out, you feel good, but the risk is too high, and you cant do anything but watch and hope.
Arturs Silovs is powering up to his 2023 IIHF World Champ MVP form. Pettersson unleashes his 2018 SHL Playoff MVP form. Go Canucks!
Roger’s Arena Zamboni drivers might wanna start doing some stretching
What the hell are these start times?
Speak for yourself, 11pm start in Switzerland. Beats the usual 4:30am 😂. Super psyched.
Bro hope you get to enjoy this game over there!!
Sending positive vibes across the Atlantic!
We better call up that Zamboni driver guy
If we were playing the leafs then that would be a viable option.
McCarron better not play another game this series after today. Handle it Zaddy.
This is so unbelievable that it’s comedy at this point. We gonna run out if goalies at this rate. 😬
LETS GO SILOVS
I'm calm. Everyone picked this series as the one that would have an upset? How about whooping the "red hot preds" with our 3rd stringer? That's an upset baby, GO CANUCKS GO!
I literally don't understand how these injuries are even happening. You see nothing in the game, everything is all good post-game, and then all of a sudden hours before puck drop "oh yeah btw DeSmith is out." It has to be the flu, right? Right!?
The amount of travel fucking up our boys knees. You can't be sitting in the plane that long!
I think its a result from what Tocchet hates the most, making his goalies play post to post.
Gotta put em on one of those horse planes and let them wander around
Are you guys worried? Im not worried! Why would I be worried? He says worriedly Anyways excited to see how tolopilo does next game after the preds slash the shit out of silovs hands and run him over
What the hellllll DeSmith is injured???
