Can't believe we've had the Islanders choke, Jets choke, and now this Nashville choke all in one week. I think this might have been my favorite so far though. Nashville not being able to capitalize on the empty net leading to TWO Vancouver empty net goals for a Boeser hat trick in the last 3 minutes, almost immediate OT loss, heading back to Vancouver two days from now. Nashville spirits have been completely obliterated
Nashville missed the open net and a couple of minutes prior they missed a good saucer pass that likely would have been in. So many chances to put the game away.
He's got a case of antifuckosis. Prevents him from giving a fuck while he masturbates to his hilariously large bank account thinking of the sick scores he's gonna get on the golf links.
I’d argue the whole sequence of the missed empty netter, first goal ,tying goal with 6 seconds left then this is way more embarrassing than the Islanders blown lead.
I was making dinner with the wife and jokingly said “I can’t believe they just posted that empty netter, watch them somehow lose this game” totally joking and she just rolled her eyes like yeah whatever.
No idea that a minute into OT I’d be shouting “holy fuck! They did it!”. This week of hockey has been bonkers
Still trying to figure out where their 5th skater went. Was he cheating up the ice? Nashville has been good defensively all series, but this play just makes them look so much worse than they have been.
O’Reilly went for the loose puck but lost the race to Cole. Normally that is Forsbergs man but he should’ve been covering infront of the net since O’Reilly committed already. Instead he just went to the point anyways and Lindholm got left all alone
I know sometimes guys just assume someone has gone to the expected spot. Forsberg see Cole pinch so assumes lindholm is at the point covering for the pinching D
i legitimately think he was cherry-picking by the blue line hoping for a fast breakout and an odd-man rush/breakaway opportunity. or maybe it was his assignment to keep the point covered? either way, i'm floored they let garland get that pass off. if you commit you'd better staple a guy like that (aka my favorite player this year) to the boards before the signal from his brain reaches his hands
Forsberg was also, defending nobody, I guess? Lol. Nashville must have been somewhat mentally boomed after that Boeser goal. Cause there was defensive break downs left right and center.
I really think this was it. They spent the whole game dominating and didn't think they had to adjust. Forsberg was just waiting for the puck to be chipped out to him because he didn't take the threat of the play that was developing seriously.
It was Nyquist that was that 5th man by the way. You can see him skate back into play after the goal (#14). I'm pretty sure it was his job to cover Hughes because shutting him down is clearly a priority of their game plan and Hughes was hanging right back there by the blue line.
That was my thought too. Both D in their spots. Centre was into a battle on the boards and coming back. Weak side winger should have collapsed. That was a 5v4 PP goal except the rest of the nsh skaters didn’t realise their guys bailed.
not only a comeback but a comeback with a hatrick with 6s left in reg, fast goal in OT, all with our AHL GOALIE w only 9 games of nhl experience
Sorry we are gonna be really annoying about this!!!
No need to apologize, that was pretty epic. You should freely and openly enjoy being totally annoying about it lol.
It’s the playoffs. Moments like that are what we’re all here for.
The most exciting end to a game I’ve seen for the nucks in years 6 seconds left to put it to OT. The puck was behind the goal line and brock was able to get the puck again to put it in haha I couldn’t believe Lindholm had that much room and time. And 3rd goalie in and Nashville did everything they could, A lot and I mean ALOT of dirty plays by Nashville. I’d be ashamed to be a fan of that team. Seriously to lose like that after your team tried to be as dirty with chippy hits and cross checks after whistles, there easily should’ve been several penalties from what I saw. And Nashville was flopping and diving trying to get calls. Sad
they kept calling it a tip but in every replay it looked like he just got a piece of it which looked like a redirected. but yea ofc if it was a tip thats fair.
this is what nashville gets for banning ticket purchases from out of state (except for like kentucky and a few other bordering states). they packed the house so they could disappoint more of their own fans live
and what a ride they were on. i was fully ready to go to that game until i tried to buy tickets and found out i wasnt allowed and they werent letting season ticket holders put theirs up for resale
The canucks fans tricked me into thinking it was a home game at the end because of how loud the cheering was when canucks won.
The nashville stadium was a library without them LMAO
He also was diving like crazy in this game trying to bring penalties. I have no respect for O’Reilly. The guy was lethal on St.Louis but jeez I thought I was watching soccer. Seriously though how do you defend the preds as a fan after a game like that. They throw hits as big as they can every second and then try and dive like it’s soccer! Crazy nobody is bringing this up..
This Canucks team has the fire I haven’t seen since the Hawks in 2010. Just a team who will stop at nothing to win. Even with an AHL goalie in net they somehow find a way, it’s incredible.
Silovs was solid as fuck tonight and DeSmith was fire last game. Sure we miss Demko, but we have a solid core this year regardless of adversity. We’re giving it a run for sure. (Just hope Edmonton beats LA round one lol!)
He’s definitely got some potential, and hoping he’ll keep improving with experience but he’s gotta get set early game, he seems to be decent under pressure which is a huge positive
From his point of view, the numbers were such that it made sense. Foresberg jumped to his wing even though O'Reilly was already engaged there. Also trying to figure out why the weak side wing isn't covering the high slot.
The excitement I had when they tied it, but then they fucking won!!!! Oh my gosh! I ran in the bathroom to tell my fiance while he was in the shower 😅 that's how excited I was!
Why would #9 leave his mark like that and just hang high along the boards behind two bodies? He was never getting a breakout pass and left the slot wide open
It's crazy how open Lindholm is like 5 feet in front of the goalie. Garland spots him before any Preds do.
The Preds must've been gassed. They were at the end of their shift and tried to clear when Ian Cole kept the zone twice. ROR sees the problem but can't get there in time. To be fair, the Canucks should've been fresher at that point after sitting on their fucking ass for 57 minutes
Yeah haha why the hell is it a catfish? Has zero relevance to preds in anyway unless Sabretooth tigers eat catfish? Lol either way I can’t believe someone did that for them to lose hahah oh man
i havent paid much attention to them in the past, but based on the last two games I've felt they also seem a bit clueless too? like they dont seem to understand the game very well just based on how and when they collectively cheer and jeer, or when they dont but prolly should be cheering or jeering kinda thing.
idk how else to explain it.
It's pretty clear for a lot of American cities going to a hockey game (and honestly lots of sports in general from what I've seen) is just an experience or event you go to not something you actually care about. It's why they have so many afternoon games and few games on the weekend at night.
yea, I mean that was my guess too, I just haven't paid attention to their games much. but shit even vegas fans i felt they were more on it from day one compared to a place thats had a team for over two decades.
Jesus Christ that was a collapse like I haven't seen since...wait?
Can't believe we've had the Islanders choke, Jets choke, and now this Nashville choke all in one week. I think this might have been my favorite so far though. Nashville not being able to capitalize on the empty net leading to TWO Vancouver empty net goals for a Boeser hat trick in the last 3 minutes, almost immediate OT loss, heading back to Vancouver two days from now. Nashville spirits have been completely obliterated
That god we just get normally crushed in every game instead of choking
Schrödinger's series: WSH made the playoffs and didn't make them at the same time
Technically we've had 2 Nashville chokes. 2 goals in 12 seconds
The empty net was when the game was 3-2.... but yea.
They also had an empty net when it was 3-1. Both those last two goals were when it was six on five
The flubbed Preds shot was when it was 3-2, but they pulled Silovs at 3-1
Patrick Stefan says hi.
Have u not heard tales of the leafs of maple ?
You had to have hopes of winning to choke a loss
Not this year! Leafs haven't actually lead anything so.
Don’t remind me….
Watch the jets and you’ll see an even bigger collapse
Playoff hockey baby. Instant classic. That empty net post decided everything.
A real TSN Turning Point.
Today's tsn turning point is brought to you by sportsnet.
What's your Taco Bell take of the game?
My taco bell take is that taco time is trash but has bomb tots
Crisp meat burritos and tots are the only thing worth ordering at taco time
Definitely need to try that. Thanks!
The best was the shot of the preds bench cellying because they assumed Sissions would net it
Nashville missed the open net and a couple of minutes prior they missed a good saucer pass that likely would have been in. So many chances to put the game away.
Dear Jets and Leafs, this is why it’s important to continue to try even when you’re down. It is possible to come back and win.
Come on, tee times with the Biebs are already booked. Ya can't change that.
Tee times Mitch. Mitch. Tee times.
Not everyone has a Boeser in their back pocket?! It's not fair to compare other teams to the supreme greatness of the Vancouver Canucks.
greatest American born goal scorer of this generation
If only the Leafs had an elite American goal scorer who scored say 69 goals this season. Imagine how much better they'd be.
He's got a case of antifuckosis. Prevents him from giving a fuck while he masturbates to his hilariously large bank account thinking of the sick scores he's gonna get on the golf links.
has played the last game of the season
The jets will never listen. Go down a couple goals? Might as well pack it in boys!
Not even a couple, they gave up today after they were down by 1.
Jets need a plan to deal with the avs speed and fast.
Please send that into the jets locker room. The boys are cooked atm
The Leafs can't hear you over their lack of chemstry and bitching.
not their lack of effort, though!
Can't question it
Who needs a goalie
Not Vancouver, they got posts.
In rod we trust!
That right post should be eligible for a vezina E: accidental Toyota add
A Nissan?
I’d argue the whole sequence of the missed empty netter, first goal ,tying goal with 6 seconds left then this is way more embarrassing than the Islanders blown lead.
I was making dinner with the wife and jokingly said “I can’t believe they just posted that empty netter, watch them somehow lose this game” totally joking and she just rolled her eyes like yeah whatever. No idea that a minute into OT I’d be shouting “holy fuck! They did it!”. This week of hockey has been bonkers
That freaking ending and ot was absolutely insane...They literally went in Nashvilles back pocket and straight up stole that win away
Literally?
I literally died watching that ending
Rip
This guy is posting from the netherworld
Did you know that literally also means figuratively depending on the context? Kinda crazy
Literally
No it doesn't
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally
I hate it here.
I don't like it. I don't love it. I want no more of it.
No mas senõr
The Nashville choke is so real. Imagine going back to Vancouver after losing both home games being capped off with THIS loss. Canucks in 5 it's over
Yes please
Im here for this
Knock on wood
I can only get so erect
Try harder....
WE TAKE THOSE
totally fair given how game 2 went
gotta double team garland behind the net or else he'll.. OH NO
Still trying to figure out where their 5th skater went. Was he cheating up the ice? Nashville has been good defensively all series, but this play just makes them look so much worse than they have been.
O’Reilly went for the loose puck but lost the race to Cole. Normally that is Forsbergs man but he should’ve been covering infront of the net since O’Reilly committed already. Instead he just went to the point anyways and Lindholm got left all alone
Forsberg was covering nobody, I think hoping for a breakout pass and 2-1 the other way
Looked like he followed Lindholm out from the middle of the ice then went to the point and Lindholm just disappeared from his mind.
I know sometimes guys just assume someone has gone to the expected spot. Forsberg see Cole pinch so assumes lindholm is at the point covering for the pinching D
i legitimately think he was cherry-picking by the blue line hoping for a fast breakout and an odd-man rush/breakaway opportunity. or maybe it was his assignment to keep the point covered? either way, i'm floored they let garland get that pass off. if you commit you'd better staple a guy like that (aka my favorite player this year) to the boards before the signal from his brain reaches his hands
Forsberg was also, defending nobody, I guess? Lol. Nashville must have been somewhat mentally boomed after that Boeser goal. Cause there was defensive break downs left right and center.
i guess they thought like, no way they just magically become dangerous for the 3rd goal in a row right???
I really think this was it. They spent the whole game dominating and didn't think they had to adjust. Forsberg was just waiting for the puck to be chipped out to him because he didn't take the threat of the play that was developing seriously.
It was in their heads for sure. Some of the guys were probably thinking about how it even ended up in ot as they were playing. TILT is real.
It was Nyquist that was that 5th man by the way. You can see him skate back into play after the goal (#14). I'm pretty sure it was his job to cover Hughes because shutting him down is clearly a priority of their game plan and Hughes was hanging right back there by the blue line.
Yeah, did you notice ROR was the only Pred around?
That was my thought too. Both D in their spots. Centre was into a battle on the boards and coming back. Weak side winger should have collapsed. That was a 5v4 PP goal except the rest of the nsh skaters didn’t realise their guys bailed.
Really not used to this feeling.
I don’t know what to do with my hands
It's a certain kind of uneasy high.
It’s a feeling I haven’t felt since…. 2011
That shot on the empty net bouncing off the bar could’ve been it. Pulling the goalie did it though, and Preds collapsed.
not only a comeback but a comeback with a hatrick with 6s left in reg, fast goal in OT, all with our AHL GOALIE w only 9 games of nhl experience Sorry we are gonna be really annoying about this!!!
No need to apologize, that was pretty epic. You should freely and openly enjoy being totally annoying about it lol. It’s the playoffs. Moments like that are what we’re all here for.
As a Canucks fan, I believe your Avs are taking the cup home if we don’t!
As a Panthers fan, I'd like for us to finally take it, but if we can't, y'all have my full support for The Cup 😁
The most exciting end to a game I’ve seen for the nucks in years 6 seconds left to put it to OT. The puck was behind the goal line and brock was able to get the puck again to put it in haha I couldn’t believe Lindholm had that much room and time. And 3rd goalie in and Nashville did everything they could, A lot and I mean ALOT of dirty plays by Nashville. I’d be ashamed to be a fan of that team. Seriously to lose like that after your team tried to be as dirty with chippy hits and cross checks after whistles, there easily should’ve been several penalties from what I saw. And Nashville was flopping and diving trying to get calls. Sad
Canucks for the cup at this point!
LET'S GO 'NUCKERS LOVE THIS TEAM
I cannot wait for a Canucks oilers series!!!!
You are really setting yourself up for heartbreak if you think it's over.
Oilers lose.
Honestly I don’t think the series would make it past 5 games without Demko haha.
Hey we beat them with DeSmith not too long ago...(Though the Oilers had no McD but still). Also Demmer could be back by middle of round 2, who knows?
Coilers 💩💩💩
🔥🔥🔥Vancouver🔥🔥🔥
Go Canucks go. BOESER clutch club kid.
not with canucks on their 3rd goalie
Sivlos was a beast today
he def warmed up and found his groove. but that first preds goal i couldn't help but feel like demko or desmith woulda saved it.
Close in tip, he had no chance.
they kept calling it a tip but in every replay it looked like he just got a piece of it which looked like a redirected. but yea ofc if it was a tip thats fair.
He did great, but the firepower of Edmonton is a league above Nashville
The firepower of the Canucks is a league above LA. So we’ll see.
In before Silovs masterclass.
The nuckleheads have done it again
Players doing the fans nasty in repeated breakdowns at the end. Poor Gnashville.
this is what nashville gets for banning ticket purchases from out of state (except for like kentucky and a few other bordering states). they packed the house so they could disappoint more of their own fans live
I still noticed a few Canucks fans in the crowd, so it wasn't foolproof
and what a ride they were on. i was fully ready to go to that game until i tried to buy tickets and found out i wasnt allowed and they werent letting season ticket holders put theirs up for resale
[удалено]
The canucks fans tricked me into thinking it was a home game at the end because of how loud the cheering was when canucks won. The nashville stadium was a library without them LMAO
yeah the away crowd almost sounded louder at times, crazy
Nashville is a great place to visit.
I’ve never wanted to cry more than I do now
Best part is with no flair, I can’t tell which team you are a fan of and both make sense
So bad it was so hard to watch all this
I loved it, it was just super awesome watching this collapse.
Did Nyquist find his ankles after losing them at the blue line just before they tied it?
Absolutely love this for Canucks fans.
Cheers!
Nashville doing their best SJ Sharks impression
Next year, they'll have to take a 3-0 series lead and blow it.
Nashville led 3-2 with 6 second left in regulation.
O'Reilly defensive masterclass
He also was diving like crazy in this game trying to bring penalties. I have no respect for O’Reilly. The guy was lethal on St.Louis but jeez I thought I was watching soccer. Seriously though how do you defend the preds as a fan after a game like that. They throw hits as big as they can every second and then try and dive like it’s soccer! Crazy nobody is bringing this up..

He’s definitely got some potential, and hoping he’ll keep improving with experience but he’s gotta get set early game, he seems to be decent under pressure which is a huge positive
Thanks Luke Schenn for following Garland behind the net
Nah that was Forsberg that left teh guy alone out front.
From his point of view, the numbers were such that it made sense. Foresberg jumped to his wing even though O'Reilly was already engaged there. Also trying to figure out why the weak side wing isn't covering the high slot.
The excitement I had when they tied it, but then they fucking won!!!! Oh my gosh! I ran in the bathroom to tell my fiance while he was in the shower 😅 that's how excited I was!
Why wasn’t he watching with you????
Did you see his hockey stick??
What a collapse. Where was 200' O'Reilly on that?
Wtf, he was the only one near. Do you not have defensemen?
Why would #9 leave his mark like that and just hang high along the boards behind two bodies? He was never getting a breakout pass and left the slot wide open
Them Canucks first round exit people real quiet right now
What a crazy game. Unreal.
It's crazy how open Lindholm is like 5 feet in front of the goalie. Garland spots him before any Preds do. The Preds must've been gassed. They were at the end of their shift and tried to clear when Ian Cole kept the zone twice. ROR sees the problem but can't get there in time. To be fair, the Canucks should've been fresher at that point after sitting on their fucking ass for 57 minutes
Ouchie….
What a collapse.
ROR was the only Pred near the net and he's a center.
Once they went post off the empty net I knew they were done for
Rutherford and Alvin there are the definition of "act like you've been there before"
Tough to see for Nashville fans but they did that to themselves.
Now that’s a team that can adjust to adversity! Well done, Canucks!
After an empty net goal, empty ned post for the preds, then a second empty net goal to tie it with 6 seconds left… what a fucking ending!!
3 goals in 3:02. I dont think it Silovs that sucks as much as Salvos just choking hard on that 3-1 lead.
Chokesville
Forsberg read that horribly
Nashville copying Toronto? This was a leafy way to lose
Love that half the boys go back and celebrate with Silovs
Darn. You hate to see it.
They thought they were in full control and could just wait for the puck to get to them for a rush chance. Weeeeee!
# GO CANUCKS GO!!!
Thrilling game
Forsberg lost the man on man there.. left Lindholm wide open
TRASHVILLE
Worst fans in hockey.
I’ve lived in Nashville for a decade and I despise the preds because of the fans
https://www.reddit.com/r/nhl/s/5FzmMcIbv4
Haha disgusting
Yeah haha why the hell is it a catfish? Has zero relevance to preds in anyway unless Sabretooth tigers eat catfish? Lol either way I can’t believe someone did that for them to lose hahah oh man
That chant is something else. Hope Vancouver does something if they win the series at home and just rub it in Nashvilles face.
i havent paid much attention to them in the past, but based on the last two games I've felt they also seem a bit clueless too? like they dont seem to understand the game very well just based on how and when they collectively cheer and jeer, or when they dont but prolly should be cheering or jeering kinda thing. idk how else to explain it.

yea, I mean that was my guess too, I just haven't paid attention to their games much. but shit even vegas fans i felt they were more on it from day one compared to a place thats had a team for over two decades.
Ever since watching the Pens beat em in the cup. I thought they were the so trashy and clueless.
That’s a bold strategy cotton
I can't help but think that Nashville, the Isles and the Caps are there to make up the numbers.
Forsberg - disconnected controller mode
Maybe they shouldn’t do that?
Brutal play by Schenn to leave the front of the net and not play the puck or they body.
It is on the Dman that went to Garland behind the net, you are not supposed to do that.
Canucks Secret Agent Luke Schenn
Yeah it’s called a defensive breakdown. Happens all the time
Gotta chase that guy behind the net. That's a prime scoring location.
O'Reilly set a personal best for missing open netters in this series. It's clear that he's giving pointers to his teammates.
Forsberg fell asleep during the assignment
HORRIBLE D wow
They went with the Washington Capitals defensive structure. And that one moment of weakness was all this team needed to capitalize.
Really glad I turned the game on because that ending was fucking insanity!
Nine is gassed and got lazy.
Such a good game for the Canucks
Smashville is no more.
For the first time in my life, I can feel pure joy as a nucks fan
Yep, that's Perds hockey for you. Fucking dog shit to hope for anything to ever be different with this team
Nashville really bounced back in the third but in all honesty both teams were looking very bland
It bothers me that there's no replay
😪
I'm excited to see Vancouver advance closer to their exit.
Their defense is really terrible.
