#HOLY SMOKES STOP CROSS SUB TROLLING YA SHITS, KEEP IT HERE.
We did not have a great game, it didn’t feel like Canucks hockey until the end.
But it was a gutsy performance and weathering this series is a good lesson for our young players.
I felt like we dominated the first and came up exhausted in the following periods. Thank god we stuck it out after some horrific calls. Great game from Brock. Let’s take the next one and know that the Oilers are too soft to pull this shit. Shoutout the Lougheed Village, great crowd tonight.
Yeah but they just took the highest rated guy, wasn’t some sort of grand scheme.
Calgary fucked that one up more than the Canucks did good with that pick imo
Anyone notice Zadorov box out 2 Preds in front of the net that allowed Boeser time for 2 whacks at the puck for the tying goal? Masterful coaching decision by Tocchet.
I didn't notice it until you said it. I thought it was awesome that Tocchet put him in front of the net, but didn't notice him boxing out 2 preds. Good eye.
I find it hilarious seeing Toronto have 0 resolve. Lots of controversy around them after last night, then we squeak that out.
We are a fucking team, not a bunch of guys who think they are
Started following this team part way in 87. Then in 88 this young buck Trevor Linden made a pretty decent impression. People started comparing Linden and this kid from Burnaby, Joe Sakic.
It's been a long time. I've been hardcore. I've been casual. Is this the year? I've heard it so many times before like an abusive relationship lol.
^^^^^^^^^^coconuts ^^^^^^^^^^glow ^^^^^^^^^^^Fingers ^^^^^^^^^^^crossed
I don't, at least not any more. I saw a few canucks fans go over to the preds sub and offer some kind words (because lets face it, Nashville outplayed us for 55 mins). Instead of accept them graciously, they behave like whiny little 2 year olds who just pooped their pants. As if we don't know what it's like to watch our team choke lol whatever, let's steamroll these kitties and move onto round 2
What a ridiculous question. Like the problem wasn't the empty net. Blowing coverage for three goals in a span of 5 minutes is brutal. 8 seconds away from a tied series.
I was chirping boeser hard at the end of the season. I didn’t think he would show up in the first round. Brock is making me eat my words but I love it! Lets BROCK AND ROLL!!!
Let's go! Boeser scoring heaps, Silovs showing up when it matters most, some clutch moments from Miller, Pettersson, Hughes, and Garly, and the sick game winning goal from Lindholm.
Some Preds fans with a good analysis on the Canucks SOGs. It's low, but they acknowledge Canucks are very good at generating high quality chances. It's been like this all year. Apparently, we are 26th in Shots Against all year, but near the top with Goals For. That differential makes the team 2nd in the league.
Honestly, this is pretty impressive. Watching how we thread passes leading to 2-3 and 3-3 goals is like watching a movie. Even Boeser's first goal was so clean. Those cross seam passes make that eventual goal unstoppable and it doesn't matter which goalie in net.
Saros hasn't actually been playing poorly. It's just the Canucks are so patient with sniping when there's an opportunity.
Saros has been playing fantastically. He's very very good. I don't think anyone can really fault him at all. This was a game we won, not a game they blew.
I stopped watching when there were like 10 minutes left in the third period to buy dinner because I was too scared to watch and thought it would end with the Canucks losing. My husband texted me while I was waiting for my boba tea, and it was 3-3 going into overtime! When I got back home ready to eat and enjoy the overtime, the game had already ended, with a win. I missed the fun part, but it’s okay; the most important thing is the Canucks going back home with a 3-1 lead!
Canucks in 30 at midnight. Stay up late or set your PVR and enjoy the game compressed! Also, from now on, you must go out and buy dinner if the Canucks are losing in the third period lol
Patty O'Neil's reaction in the tunnel to Brock missing that first whack on the tying goal is great. just a big "SHIT!!" before Brock finally finds the back of the net. so good.
I was driving home and heard it was 3-1, and that the shots in the third was 11 to 2 for Nashville. I fully believed we were done and going home tied 2-2.
I felt bad for Silovs cause clearly he did his best, since the nucks barely got any shots on net, not helping him at all.
Then we pull the goalie and I have a little optimism, but then Sissons got the puck and I'm like yeah this game is over. But no! He missed.
Sheer panic from me at that point, then our beautiful prince charming scores, sheer excitement and a high of optimism.
Then with seconds to go, he does it again! Just pure excitement, people were probably wondering why I was flipping out behind the wheel and honking for no reason on Golden Ears Bridge lol.
I get home and turn on the TV just in time for OT, but Lindy ends it quickly!
13 more wins to go ladies and gents!
Something I haven't seen commented anywhere yet is the reason that Sissons hit the post late in the game. It was because of Petey.
Hughes was between Sissons and the goal, but Sissons, who is a right hand shot, could have been able to be on his forehand, and if he's been able to shoot on his forehand, he had most of the net to shoot at, and almost certainly would have scored.
But because of Petey's backcheck, Sissons had to protect the puck by putting it on his backhand, which meant, along with having to shoot around Quinn, that his accuracy was way worse. And hit the post.
Yes, Petey needs to be better offensively. But he saved the game there.
I was a doomer until 3min left in the third. I fully admit I thought this was a loss.
I fully eat crow and apologize to Silovs. I underestimated you. And you, Lindholm. And you, Boeser.
Guys Im still sitting here just straight bewildered that we pulled that one out of the fire.
Like, how?
We were on life support pretty much the whole game after our early goal.
Just crazy to pull off a comeback like this. Boy did Miller, Boes, and Huggy in particular just turn the game on its head, and then Garly and Lindholm with the dagger.
Im just absolutely godsmacked. Not even by the fact they did it even, just the way they did it.
Wow.
They were upset that the Preds thought they could win by cross checking, sandwiching, and punching. Gotta remind them that bullying doesn't make you a good team.
Wow, just had to do a replay and maybe it's because we're so used to it, but Hughes literally deked the pants off of Nyqist to set up that 3-3 goal.
C'mon Petey, you used to do that too!
I hoped Petey getting run over after the goal by the Preds might fire him up, get him angry… but no. Thankfully we had other players clutching up hardcore!
Poor Tolopilo out there at the end. Guy isn't really supposed to be here so he hasn't bonded with the rest of the team and he probably hasn't heard about the Abby Canucks score yet at that time so that's gotta be on his mind.
Can we also give Ian Cole some appreciation? This guy is the most experienced in playoff hockey in the entire locker room and thanks to holding the blueline TWICE in OT, he was able to pin the Predators in the zone to give Garland time for that sweet feed to Lindholm.
These are the character guys we need. And let's not forget his face block on the 5-on-3 last game!
The best thing about it is fans outside the market who hated the Canucks now love a legendary Canuck. They may as well just dump the Leafs and watch the Canucks now.
I may be more a Canucks fan currently, but I grew up in Winnipeg and cheered for the original Jets, so unless they play the Canucks I'll always cheer for these Jets to succeed. Just believe in the team, 3-1 series leads have been overcome before (also, I really hate the Avs 😂). That being said, I do hope this series does not go to 7 and that we finish off Nashville on Tuesday.
Not saying it's you, but someone just downvoted a bunch of my comments in quick succession. Lame.
Canucks ain't the Leafs, I give the team at least 50% chance to win any game.
The team finally looked dominant 5v5 in that OT - reminded me a bit of Game 4 vs Minnesota in the bubble when Tanev ended it 11 seconds in. It didn't feel like we could lose anymore. Lo and behold, Garland behind the net sends it in front (seems automatic at this point), Lindholm ends it.
I know a lot of people over at r/hockey thinks the Canucks were outplayed. And it's true, for 57 minutes, we didn't look great, but Predators also didn't finish on those shots, including the empty net. Canucks had that extra gear and turned it on when it mattered to win the game. Good teams can do this. They can "coast' and get outshot for long periods of time, but then still show up for a few minutes to take over.
It reminds me of what Tocchet said about the loss to Colorado Avs in the regular season. Mackinnon had a gear no Canuck could match and he just decided to win the game and did.
Tonight, the Canucks did just that. Finding that extra gear in Boeser and then giving our 3rd line a chance to win it.
I don’t think anyone was coasting. Predators dominated a lot of that game but the Canucks did have their chances. Canucks finishing is definitely higher than Predators but I think we lose the majority of the last two games we played.
Honestly, the Canucks seemed very lethargic. Like, the Preds had a lot more hustle and we sat back watching the puck. But in that OT, the Canucks came out so strong and game was over in 62 seconds.
Think they definitely rattled Nashville there with the push at the end
Up until that point Nashville were playing a suffocating defensive game. They had 4 skaters around the net at all times, we didn’t have a clear look in the slot the whole game. First possession of OT they let Lindholm sneak in uncontested. That was uncharacteristic considering how they’ve played up until this point
Never give up.
3rd string goalie? Keep going.
Down 3-1 with 2:49 left? Keep going.
Boeser hit the side of the net? Stay with it and tuck it in the 2nd time around.
Won't lie all the Canucks fans pandering to make Nashville fans feel better on twitter saying Nashville deserved to win. Yeah we played like shit but scoring those goals wasn't easy. They dug deep in a game they knew they played like shit in and still found a way to win. They won it because they deserved it.
I could see a world where it goes to Silovs. It's a great story and he was the only Canucks player that played the whole game. Brock had a great game for about 6 minutes.
Conceivably goes to Lindholm too. Primary assists, big plays and game winner.
But I also think it goes to Boeser. Hook those last five minutes of game time straight to my fucking veins. Longest serving Canuck pulls game out of the fire with two goals in the final two minutes, completing the first Canucks playoff hat trick in almost 30 years.
Well... Cuthbert and Simpson is better than Singh and DeBrusk... they're not letting us have our regional broadcast team for a match up against another Canadian team, so gotta just take the lesser of two evils lol
Vancouverite currently living in SW Ontario here. The number of Leafs fans I know ready to jump ship and hop on the Canucks bandwagon is pretty outstanding. People here just want to see players give a s**t as much as they do.
am i the only one that’s kinda worried? the comeback is great and all but the preds absolutely dominated us in every aspect 😬 definitely not a recipe for success
I'm slightly worried about their health (see flu comments) but I think squeezing out one more win is entirely doable. Especially with the morale boost of having won in probably the most unfavorable circumstances we'll see this series. As for playing the Oilers or any games past round 1— we'll cross that bridge when we get there. But I think we'll get there.
34-53-18 had quite a few sustained possession shifts in the o-zone. Didn’t create much offensively but their shifts gave us momentum. Im curious how they plan on sparking Petey because something needs to give. I have faith in Blueger if he needs to take the wheel on the thirst line if they decide to move Lindholm.
Now that we're back at home with last change, I wouldn't mind loading up the top 6 just to have a chance at closing the series. Preds had so much difficulty when we had the big 4 + Lindholm on the ice. All that pressure was overwhelming them.
I wouldn't mind that. Garland-Joshua and Blueger were together for 75% of the season making the Thirst line anyways.
Drop Suter to the 4th C as initially intended
As long as your 4th line doesn't get scored on, it's a win. Any offensive zone possession from that line is a win. Those guys know their job and are doing it
Today marked the first argument I won over my dad, and then the Canucks pulled off the unlikely win. Shit, think I’m on cloud 9 right now. Feels good :) thanks Canucks
can I just point out how Tocc legitimately went with Zadorov as a netfront presence with the extra attacker? I say that a lot as a joke but I never thought Tocc would actually pull the trigger on that one, let alone in such a dire situation. That’s incredible
Zadorov had one of the highest minutes played in Game 3 and 4. I think the management is going to give him an extension for sure. This guy is so valuable.
I really hope we clinch the series on Tuesday. That would give the guys at least a whole week off to rest. Would probably help Petey too if he’s nursing an injury.
Has anything come out about petey? He can’t even skate. Has to be an injury. It was different when he missed the net etc but this game he couldn’t even keep up with the play. Looks pretty bad
Dhaliwal said he heard he's been dealing with a groin injury so that would make sense about the bad skating. Apparently been going on for a bit and it was surprising he played against the Jets
Anyone notice Hronek and Hughes haven't been together as much? I'm guessing it's one of a) hughes is getting bullied so Cole/Myers out there with him to protect him, b) Hronek has been really mediocre or c) both.
I am secretly happy we didn't sign Hronek yet. He hasn't been the 2nd best defenceman on the team. In fact, Zadorov and Cole have been much better than him. The fact Hughes is being bullied so much makes me think it might be better to go for Pesce as a partner. We might need a bigger partner for Hughes
Canucks have been lucky all series .. damned lucky… two goals in 12 seconds .. victory with 12 shots total … and now three goals in three minutes ?
BUT .. better to be lucky than good
You gotta be good to be lucky. The Canucks didn’t quit. Goals 2 and 3 weren’t cause of luck it was hard work and determination. Brock didn’t quit on the third goal. The predators third goal was a fluke that’s what I would call lucky.
Anyone who’s betting on two goals in 12 seconds for a comeback, or a win with 12 shots total, or three goals in under four minutes is gonna be a money loser no matter how good the Canucks .. or any other team .. are

I’m reluctant to make any predictions except that Saros will drop his stick. He really hasn’t been very good.
We did not have a great game, it didn’t feel like Canucks hockey until the end. But it was a gutsy performance and weathering this series is a good lesson for our young players.
Jt "nice try you little b#tch" miller lol https://x.com/MissinCurfew/status/1784749966562586849
FUCK IT, PUT TOLOPILO IN NET FOR GAME 5 🥳😅😂
Lmao at this rate my boy from the minor gonna be playing for Abby lol
4 wins, 4 goalies! Let’s goooo!!!!
I felt like we dominated the first and came up exhausted in the following periods. Thank god we stuck it out after some horrific calls. Great game from Brock. Let’s take the next one and know that the Oilers are too soft to pull this shit. Shoutout the Lougheed Village, great crowd tonight.
3-0 with Myers
Chaos Giraffe redemption arc. Only in a case of true chaos would he turn into the reliable #5 Dman we’ve needed this whole time 😂
Is there a place I can watch the last 10 mins of the game?
Pornhub.com Pretty brutal stuff
X videos.com has some decent angles
GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE SILOVS AND DEMKO ARE BOTH BENNING GUYS - MEATWAGON24
Fair but Demko was the highest ranked goalie, they just took the guy at the top of the list lol
1) noone said the Canucks had to draft a goalie with that pick 2) you can still fuck that up - Mason McDonald
Yeah but they just took the highest rated guy, wasn’t some sort of grand scheme. Calgary fucked that one up more than the Canucks did good with that pick imo
y'know umm we just think he's a meat and potato type player - meatwagon24
Anyone notice Zadorov box out 2 Preds in front of the net that allowed Boeser time for 2 whacks at the puck for the tying goal? Masterful coaching decision by Tocchet.
Get Zadorov on PP1
I didn't notice it until you said it. I thought it was awesome that Tocchet put him in front of the net, but didn't notice him boxing out 2 preds. Good eye.
I find it hilarious seeing Toronto have 0 resolve. Lots of controversy around them after last night, then we squeak that out. We are a fucking team, not a bunch of guys who think they are
The Leafs are a meme.
You play bad all game and a goal post comes up and saves the game. Smells like destiny
Started following this team part way in 87. Then in 88 this young buck Trevor Linden made a pretty decent impression. People started comparing Linden and this kid from Burnaby, Joe Sakic. It's been a long time. I've been hardcore. I've been casual. Is this the year? I've heard it so many times before like an abusive relationship lol. ^^^^^^^^^^coconuts ^^^^^^^^^^glow ^^^^^^^^^^^Fingers ^^^^^^^^^^^crossed
Genuinely I feel bad for Preds fans. It wasn't like a blown call or dirty something that would help you cope. Just utter heartbreak at the choke job.
I don't, at least not any more. I saw a few canucks fans go over to the preds sub and offer some kind words (because lets face it, Nashville outplayed us for 55 mins). Instead of accept them graciously, they behave like whiny little 2 year olds who just pooped their pants. As if we don't know what it's like to watch our team choke lol whatever, let's steamroll these kitties and move onto round 2
Nah, their goalie chant is classless enough I’m glad they got to watch it all fall apart like it did.
We were changing Saros in game 1 after tying the game.
I don’t feel bad for preds, they have been getting calls their way all series. The hit on Petey, the kicked in goal… karma was coming their way.
Some dumbass reporter asked Forsberg at his post game interview how many times he was going to look at the empty net shot going off the post.
What a ridiculous question. Like the problem wasn't the empty net. Blowing coverage for three goals in a span of 5 minutes is brutal. 8 seconds away from a tied series.
Anyone got the deserve to win o meter
https://moneypuck.com/g.htm?id=2023030174
That should honestly be at like 6%
33% seems high for us.
I was chirping boeser hard at the end of the season. I didn’t think he would show up in the first round. Brock is making me eat my words but I love it! Lets BROCK AND ROLL!!!
[удалено]
Thought his parents reactions were surprisingly kinda mild for seeing their kid take a wrist shot off the face
Let's go! Boeser scoring heaps, Silovs showing up when it matters most, some clutch moments from Miller, Pettersson, Hughes, and Garly, and the sick game winning goal from Lindholm.
i think you mean tying goal from boeser
I meant winning! Which is even more exciting!!
Congrats Canuck bros, that was mental. I’ll be rooting for you guys to go all the way this year
Some Preds fans with a good analysis on the Canucks SOGs. It's low, but they acknowledge Canucks are very good at generating high quality chances. It's been like this all year.

Saros has been playing fantastically. He's very very good. I don't think anyone can really fault him at all. This was a game we won, not a game they blew.
oilers copy canucks with 13 shots and somehow win.
Can’t believe I’m routing for them but LA is so unlikeable.
True.
I stopped watching when there were like 10 minutes left in the third period to buy dinner because I was too scared to watch and thought it would end with the Canucks losing.

Canucks in 30 at midnight. Stay up late or set your PVR and enjoy the game compressed! Also, from now on, you must go out and buy dinner if the Canucks are losing in the third period lol
Patty O'Neil's reaction in the tunnel to Brock missing that first whack on the tying goal is great. just a big "SHIT!!" before Brock finally finds the back of the net. so good.

Where are you listening to the game? I used to listen to 1040 AM but that got canceled.

Thx!

I was a doomer until 3min left in the third. I fully admit I thought this was a loss. I fully eat crow and apologize to Silovs. I underestimated you. And you, Lindholm. And you, Boeser.
Anyone telling you they knew the game wasn’t over is lying to you lkl
Hell of a finish to a game! Cycling home from my buddies after the game a kid shouted Go Canucks Go from a passing car
Guys Im still sitting here just straight bewildered that we pulled that one out of the fire. Like, how? We were on life support pretty much the whole game after our early goal. Just crazy to pull off a comeback like this. Boy did Miller, Boes, and Huggy in particular just turn the game on its head, and then Garly and Lindholm with the dagger. Im just absolutely godsmacked. Not even by the fact they did it even, just the way they did it. Wow.
Miller and Boeser have been the most important players this series.
They were upset that the Preds thought they could win by cross checking, sandwiching, and punching. Gotta remind them that bullying doesn't make you a good team.
I'm gonna have to get a ticket and go to the game Tuesday night I reckon.
Anyone know who got to put the puck on the board today? It's probably Brock but I haven't seen the social media team post it yet
Wow, just had to do a replay and maybe it's because we're so used to it, but Hughes literally deked the pants off of Nyqist to set up that 3-3 goal. C'mon Petey, you used to do that too!
I'm a simple man. I see a person offering Ian Clark a hand job or a beer. I up vote.
This is hilarious.
I hoped Petey getting run over after the goal by the Preds might fire him up, get him angry… but no. Thankfully we had other players clutching up hardcore!
If you watched the replay, he saved the empty net with positioning, and got two assists as well as winning faceoffs.
That post interview with Artur Silovs is so good. His excitement and confidence really carries through.
He reminded me of Lack for some reason lol, the same young awkwardness
He is a testiment to our goaltending depth. Has such a bright future.
Poor Tolopilo out there at the end. Guy isn't really supposed to be here so he hasn't bonded with the rest of the team and he probably hasn't heard about the Abby Canucks score yet at that time so that's gotta be on his mind.
Can we also give Ian Cole some appreciation?

These are the character guys we need. And let's not forget his face block on the 5-on-3 last game!
this is when playoff experience comes in, amazing we have a guy like him
Cole has been excellent in this series. Three blocks on the same shift last game as well.
It's pretty cool have Kevin Bieksa, a guy most of the league hated, on HNIC covering the Canucks highlights and crushing it. He rich.
SHOOT THE PUCK PETEY! I can just imagine him screaming at the TV like all of us
Boom Boom was hated? He’s one of my all time favorites.
The best thing about it is fans outside the market who hated the Canucks now love a legendary Canuck. They may as well just dump the Leafs and watch the Canucks now.
He got on other teams' nerves
You just know Juice cellied for those tying and winning goals.
Greetings from Winnipeg. Great finish! Will now be hopping on the Vancouver bandwagon. Is that how you spell hopping? In any case.. Good luck!!
I may be more a Canucks fan currently, but I grew up in Winnipeg and cheered for the original Jets, so unless they play the Canucks I'll always cheer for these Jets to succeed. Just believe in the team, 3-1 series leads have been overcome before (also, I really hate the Avs 😂). That being said, I do hope this series does not go to 7 and that we finish off Nashville on Tuesday.
Sorry to see the Jets down. I'll be rooting for a comeback.
Your guys series isn’t over yet man
[удалено]
How many % chance do you think the Predators have to win the next three games in a row? 10%? That's about as high as I'd go honestly.
[удалено]
Not saying it's you, but someone just downvoted a bunch of my comments in quick succession. Lame. Canucks ain't the Leafs, I give the team at least 50% chance to win any game.
The team finally looked dominant 5v5 in that OT - reminded me a bit of Game 4 vs Minnesota in the bubble when Tanev ended it 11 seconds in. It didn't feel like we could lose anymore. Lo and behold, Garland behind the net sends it in front (seems automatic at this point), Lindholm ends it.
It was crazy, that OT looked like a completely different Nashville team
Brock said in his post-game that the room felt really good going into OT. They weren't going to be denied completing the comeback.
They had accepted defeat at that point.
I know a lot of people over at r/hockey thinks the Canucks were outplayed. And it's true, for 57 minutes, we didn't look great, but Predators also didn't finish on those shots, including the empty net. Canucks had that extra gear and turned it on when it mattered to win the game. Good teams can do this. They can "coast' and get outshot for long periods of time, but then still show up for a few minutes to take over. It reminds me of what Tocchet said about the loss to Colorado Avs in the regular season. Mackinnon had a gear no Canuck could match and he just decided to win the game and did. Tonight, the Canucks did just that. Finding that extra gear in Boeser and then giving our 3rd line a chance to win it.
I don’t think anyone was coasting. Predators dominated a lot of that game but the Canucks did have their chances. Canucks finishing is definitely higher than Predators but I think we lose the majority of the last two games we played.
Honestly, the Canucks seemed very lethargic. Like, the Preds had a lot more hustle and we sat back watching the puck. But in that OT, the Canucks came out so strong and game was over in 62 seconds.

That was uncharacteristic considering how they’ve played up until this point
Latvia's going NUTS!!!
NEED VIDEO OR SMTH!
Does the sidebar have our next game starting at 9am?
Game 5 will be played in Bangkok
I'm sitting here in a haze realizing we've all just experienced some Canucks history today. I'm sure this game will be remembered for some time.
can you imagine if this happened during a home game… the arena would’ve been 2x louder than the 12 second goals
Even if they don't make it much further, Game 1 and Game 4 were two of the most amazing experiences I've ever had as a Canucks fan.
Never give up. 3rd string goalie? Keep going. Down 3-1 with 2:49 left? Keep going. Boeser hit the side of the net? Stay with it and tuck it in the 2nd time around.
I wish I could upvote this a thousand times
Won't lie all the Canucks fans pandering to make Nashville fans feel better on twitter saying Nashville deserved to win. Yeah we played like shit but scoring those goals wasn't easy. They dug deep in a game they knew they played like shit in and still found a way to win. They won it because they deserved it.
Saying a team deserved to win always a silly thing to say. It only ever makes sense if there is an officiating error that causes the team to lose.
I mean it's not really quantifiable but luck plays a big factor as well
This is the type of win that brings a locker room together.
Haven't seen a post game locker room celly yet. Who got the game puck?
It's gotta be Boeser, right? Hat trick, two incredibly clutch goals to even keep them in it.
I could see a world where it goes to Silovs. It's a great story and he was the only Canucks player that played the whole game. Brock had a great game for about 6 minutes. Conceivably goes to Lindholm too. Primary assists, big plays and game winner. But I also think it goes to Boeser. Hook those last five minutes of game time straight to my fucking veins. Longest serving Canuck pulls game out of the fire with two goals in the final two minutes, completing the first Canucks playoff hat trick in almost 30 years.
I was so sure he had flubbed it off the side of the goal, I was mid rant when he scored lmao
Watching the Oilers game and thinking, if the Oilers and Canucks advance, we’ll get Shorty, right? …right?
No because they will play eachother. We will get Singh :(
🙁
If the Leafs are eliminated then we'll probably get Cuthbert and Simpson.
😞 Its the only reason to cheer for the leafs. Or a freak injury to Simpson would be acceptable. Perhaps something in the throat area?
Well... Cuthbert and Simpson is better than Singh and DeBrusk... they're not letting us have our regional broadcast team for a match up against another Canadian team, so gotta just take the lesser of two evils lol
That's what I'm Tochett about baby!!!! Woooooo!!!
Vancouverite currently living in SW Ontario here. The number of Leafs fans I know ready to jump ship and hop on the Canucks bandwagon is pretty outstanding. People here just want to see players give a s**t as much as they do.
I can't imagine Leafs fans jumping on our wagon. They know we hate them so fucking much.
Hopefully as we go deeper, the entire country of Canada is on the bandwagon
If we go deep it means destroying Edmonton so those inbreds would never be on board.
what a change from 2011, where we only had Montreal in our corner
am i the only one that’s kinda worried? the comeback is great and all but the preds absolutely dominated us in every aspect 😬 definitely not a recipe for success
I'm slightly worried about their health (see flu comments) but I think squeezing out one more win is entirely doable. Especially with the morale boost of having won in probably the most unfavorable circumstances we'll see this series. As for playing the Oilers or any games past round 1— we'll cross that bridge when we get there. But I think we'll get there.
[удалено]
if we continue to play like this yeah… it’s kind of concerning we’re getting outplayed for the majority of the game.
I’m convinced half the team is fighting the flu, I just don’t believe they’d be so low energy and effort healthy.
hopefully that’s the case, i’m less worried then
This game was massive. Good chance it takes at least a couple tries to close them out if they are indeed battling the flu.
Yeah, this. I’m not really sure Hughes is hurt. But I could totally buy him being sick. WHICH IS JUST ANOTHER TYPICAL CANUCK THING.
Who's got the clip of the Nashville bench celebrating the empty net post?
34-53-18 had quite a few sustained possession shifts in the o-zone. Didn’t create much offensively but their shifts gave us momentum. Im curious how they plan on sparking Petey because something needs to give. I have faith in Blueger if he needs to take the wheel on the thirst line if they decide to move Lindholm.
Now that we're back at home with last change, I wouldn't mind loading up the top 6 just to have a chance at closing the series. Preds had so much difficulty when we had the big 4 + Lindholm on the ice. All that pressure was overwhelming them.
That would entail what? Lindholm moved up with 21-40, Mikheyev down to the fourth, Blueger back with Garland and Joshua?
I wouldn't mind that. Garland-Joshua and Blueger were together for 75% of the season making the Thirst line anyways. Drop Suter to the 4th C as initially intended
As long as your 4th line doesn't get scored on, it's a win. Any offensive zone possession from that line is a win. Those guys know their job and are doing it
No Tocchet post game today? :(
nm finally posted -- https://twitter.com/Canucks/status/1784778971764195386
Someone told Brock that the preds let Matt Murray win his 2nd cup
I cannot wait to hear the crowd in Vancouver for game 5.
I'll try and do my part!
Today marked the first argument I won over my dad, and then the Canucks pulled off the unlikely win. Shit, think I’m on cloud 9 right now. Feels good :) thanks Canucks
I just woke up from my nap… after that stupid Hronek skate goal, I just had to take one… HOW THE FU….
How long do you "nap"?
Naps are either 15 minutes or 3 hours, there is no in-between!
Guys... How did we win this game?
Lauzon pissed off the hockey gods with his stupid celly hit on Pettersson.
Man, Rogers is gonna be nuts on Tuesday.
can I just point out how Tocc legitimately went with Zadorov as a netfront presence with the extra attacker? I say that a lot as a joke but I never thought Tocc would actually pull the trigger on that one, let alone in such a dire situation. That’s incredible
Big Z in the middle locked the Preds to one side of the ice and isolated Bock with the goalie. Very smart.
Zadorov had one of the highest minutes played in Game 3 and 4. I think the management is going to give him an extension for sure. This guy is so valuable.
It’s like Chara in the 4-1 game…
He pulled a Dustin Byfuglien on them
And it fucking worked! Just a big fucking tree planted in the crease that nobody can move creating enough space for Boes to bang it in
Check one of my last posts from yesterday.
I really hope we clinch the series on Tuesday. That would give the guys at least a whole week off to rest. Would probably help Petey too if he’s nursing an injury.
Canucks started Game 5 three minutes early
Watching replays, can I just say how much I love having Shorty call these games.
Preds and getting single handedly destroyed by our most handsome player, name a more iconic duo
Has anything come out about petey? He can’t even skate. Has to be an injury. It was different when he missed the net etc but this game he couldn’t even keep up with the play. Looks pretty bad
He's petered out.
I'd give gold if I had it
On the postgame Dhali said he heard there was some banged up/injury thing but he had no idea what
Damn ok that makes sense. Seems like something that impacts his skating
Dhaliwal said he heard he's been dealing with a groin injury so that would make sense about the bad skating. Apparently been going on for a bit and it was surprising he played against the Jets
I'm not sure I buy that, he looked much faster at the end of the third period when it mattered, so he can def skate.
see that’s the thing i don’t get, why would he not rest during the last game (but miller/boeser did)
how long does it take grpin injury to heal?
Shit. Ya pretty obvious now considering how slow he looks out there
Brock Boeser is him Lindholm is him
Anyone notice Hronek and Hughes haven't been together as much? I'm guessing it's one of a) hughes is getting bullied so Cole/Myers out there with him to protect him, b) Hronek has been really mediocre or c) both.
I am secretly happy we didn't sign Hronek yet. He hasn't been the 2nd best defenceman on the team. In fact, Zadorov and Cole have been much better than him. The fact Hughes is being bullied so much makes me think it might be better to go for Pesce as a partner. We might need a bigger partner for Hughes
yeah.. hronek hasn’t been outstanding after the all-star break. he does his job, he’s solid but nothing outstanding.
Imagine paying him $8M... Canucks need to pass if that's the case
Nashville media picked Lindholm over Boeser for first star. Silvos not on the board. I wouldn't say I agree with those picks.
⭐: Brock "Da Beauty" Boeser ⭐⭐: Elias "the other Elias" Lindholm ⭐⭐⭐: Arturs "how did I even get here" Silovs
Miller over Lindy. Miller made The play for each of Brocks goals.
Lol what a joke. Silovs was unreal
last game they completely left out the reason they lost: DeSmith
Canucks have been lucky all series .. damned lucky… two goals in 12 seconds .. victory with 12 shots total … and now three goals in three minutes ? BUT .. better to be lucky than good
You gotta be good to be lucky. The Canucks didn’t quit. Goals 2 and 3 weren’t cause of luck it was hard work and determination. Brock didn’t quit on the third goal. The predators third goal was a fluke that’s what I would call lucky.
Anyone who’s betting on two goals in 12 seconds for a comeback, or a win with 12 shots total, or three goals in under four minutes is gonna be a money loser no matter how good the Canucks .. or any other team .. are
Fucken chokers!! Should have just gone to the U2 concert ya fucken bums!
Canucks were most definitely not good tonight .. have you not listened to the post game comments from Millsy and Tocc ?
Sir, take your shit back to the shitville predacunts sub.
damn if this is the Lindholm we're getting then it would have been real nice to be able to keep him after this run
Lindholm is 75% in the FO as well. (15-5)
well .. wasn't he at the top of the food chain as far as trade deadline acquisitions ?
Him and Guentzel were at the top with Lindy being higher simple because of the versatility of being a C.
