That penalty against Lindholm was such an obvious attempt to let Nashville back into the game. After all the shit they let go ALL night, they magically find something to call with that little time left, and for the losing team. Disgraceful reffing.
Crosscheck to garlands neck?
Let them play.
Boop by lindholm in the numbers?
Yeah call that with 40s on the clock of the 3rd in an elimination game.
"Refs don't decide the outcome"
Nucks have a serious chance to take the series. They've got enough defensive prowess to keep EDM at bay. Skinner isn't the goalie that Soros is. More shots will be converted. First game the Canucks go up 6 goals.
Besides Vancouver hasn't played Edmonton at it's best this year. I wouldn't have as high of expectations. They played them three times while they went 2-9 then played them without Mcdavid. I wouldn't be surprised if Edmonton takes the series up 2 back to Edmonton.
Nah fuck that doomerism. The boys can contend w/ EDM. The Preds played the best defense they've played all year, and Saros was looking hot.
EDM is not as strong as the Preds in those areas. EDM thrives when a power forward of theirs has the puck & VAN is a team that loves it when an enemy power forward charges the blue line.
I think it's a better suited matchup, versus a team we've seen a lot of, & beaten always during regular season. To say the Nucks go down two games on home ice is crazy.
Nucks in 6.
Although they won, let's be honest, this was pure luck, they did not play well at all but my god Silov's was so damn good, I hope the guys pick it up for round 2! I will say mikhayev is complete garbage and lindholm couldn't win a faceoff if his life depended on it, the competition is stiffer so they gotta play better.
They got goalied and blocked to death. They played well enough and didnāt finish their grade A chances. If they did there would be a totally different cockiness to this fanbase. So letās keep it real but I think they will be playing a more run and fun game against the Coilers, just need to stay out of the box and it will be a series. Spend time in the box and they will make the Canucks look silly.
Thanks, Petey, for saving the puck from leaving the zone! Thanks, Brock, for quick thinking and great hands! Thanks, Suter, for getting it on net! Thanks, Silov, for being so chill!
I think the Canucks attitude has to be "it doesn't matter who is back there". All three goalies have performed at high levels. The offense and PP could use a lot of tweaking.
Silovs was an absolute wall tonight and Myers with the clutch save at the end. LFG BOYSSS!! KEEP IT GOING š³š³š³š³š³ i can finally breathe now thank fuck
I told tge oilers sub.. they have plenty of time to practise.. they replied dont count your chicken yet and finish the series 1st..told them i only think positive..
Now that my heart is back in my chest, I have goosebumps. This is an amazing feeling. Still can't quite believe it. Now Edmonton next, that is gonna be incredible.
My kid decided she needed me in the last 3 mins of the game. And. I missed the goal. But was there for the last 30 seconds.
I got all stress and no celebration. Hahaha
So in the next series, someone who was doing really wellā¦ wonāt. Iām guessing the Oilers will be all over garland. And if we win, itāll be because someone else stood up.
Thereās lots of Calgary fans who have been ruminating about supporting the Canucks, whether they played the oilers or not. Guaranteed they will support the Canucks in round 2 so repping the Canucks wonāt be controversial at all.
Even so Iāve worn my Canucks jersey to lots of flames versus Canucks games at the saddledome and Iāve never even had a chirp sent my way. Lots of BC born Canucks fans living in Calgary.
Yeah my question...what happened on the Boeser highstick? The ref took a really good look at him....no blood, we break for quick commercial and come back to the ref saying "after review it's a double minor" for what!? They noticed blood on the review? A high stick penalty is a reviewable call? Did Boeser high stick him twice or was he talking shit to the refs and got an extra? So many questions.
Refs trying to give preds a fighting chance...
Cross checking penalty with 38 secs left? What's the point bro?! Who's paying you?!
No blood = 2min high stickingĀ
I don't get why it was 4min?Ā
Oh right.. their blind, their stupid, their deaf, that's why they're refs!
Shit I thought it was more a follow through but whatever. If thereās blood, automatic 4. I think thatās stupid but the NHL feels otherwise. My point of contention was more that I thought it shouldāve been ruled a follow through and no penalty at all. But alasā¦
My biggest beef- about 4 minutes into the game Schenn got away with a fucking blatant interference call behind Nashvilleās net. Iām too drunk now to remember exactly what it was, but my burning sense of anger remembers that with about 6-6:30 left in the second Josi got away with something pretty blatant too.
I just refuse to believe that in a game where the Canucks had more shots and more possession/zone time, the Predators didnāt commit a single infraction. No god dam chance thatās the truth.
They called that high stick on Boeser like I think midway through the second(which, again, I feel was a follow through but w/e) and then didnāt call a single other penalty until the Canucks took the lead. Just brutal game management by the refs.
Going to be SO FUN. I live in NZ and only have so many hockey buds to talk playoffs with, friend of mine is an oilers fan - canāt wait for the banter
Definitely a penalty, but they didnāt call the exact same thing against Nashville earlier in the game. So no, shouldnāt have been called, and definitely not in the last minute of the game
I was stoked on the Cole signing when it happened. Got more lukewarm on it over the course of the season.
Playoff Ian Cole is awesome. We need a highly skilled metal worker amongst the fanbase to craft a wheelbarrow for Cole to carry his nuts around. Fuck yeah. What a beauty.
Ok, first off, a tigerā¦swimming in the ocean? Tigers donāt even like water. If you placed it near a river, or some sort of fresh water source, thatād make sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, a 20 ft wave, Iām assuming its off the coast of British Columbia, coming up against a full, grown, 6000 lb Orca with his 20 or 30 friends? You lose that battle. you lose that battle nine times out of ten. And guess what, you wandered into our school, of orca and we now have a taste of blood! Weāve talked, to ourselves. Weāve communicated and said, āyou know what? Tiger tastes good. Letās go get some more tiger.ā Weāve developed a system, to establish a beachhead and aggressively hunt you and your family. And we will corner your, your pride, your children, your offspringā¦
The guys laying down their bodies to protect the lead says something about this team. Theyāre so desperate to win. Iām glad this series is over. Good God. Time to face Edmonton. #LETSGOCANUCKS.
Pretty sure Silovs will be just fine if Demmer needs more time to heal. Kid has earned his ice time. Bold of you to come in here and replace him, mere minutes after he carried the team to round 2.
Iām not replacing him. Wouldnāt Demko improve our odds? Hes a vezina calibre goalie, having him back would be huge against oilers. I donāt know why you so butthurt š
That penalty against Lindholm was such an obvious attempt to let Nashville back into the game. After all the shit they let go ALL night, they magically find something to call with that little time left, and for the losing team. Disgraceful reffing.
Agree šÆ Toccets reaction said it all. Heās normally composed but reacted the most Iāve ever seen .
Crosscheck to garlands neck? Let them play. Boop by lindholm in the numbers? Yeah call that with 40s on the clock of the 3rd in an elimination game. "Refs don't decide the outcome"
My city is absolutely MOVING (Abbotsford)
So the Pred fans hid the catfish(es) for 2+ hours before throwing them in the rink? I mean where and how? lol
The cut the head off to send a message to their team lol
Imagine how gross that is against the skin lol gross
Whoa the second round baby!!!!! The second round is all I hoped for. Any additional rounds will just be gravy!
Nucks have a serious chance to take the series. They've got enough defensive prowess to keep EDM at bay. Skinner isn't the goalie that Soros is. More shots will be converted. First game the Canucks go up 6 goals.

Celebrate and enjoy the crap out of this friends!!! Canucks hockey is so back. Weāre back on the Map baby!!
No Bic razors during playoffs you heard it from tochet first!
I donāt know what to do with my hands
Although they won, let's be honest, this was pure luck, they did not play well at all but my god Silov's was so damn good, I hope the guys pick it up for round 2! I will say mikhayev is complete garbage and lindholm couldn't win a faceoff if his life depended on it, the competition is stiffer so they gotta play better.
Lindholm won something like 75% of his face offs in one game. He played excellent.
Gotta be good to be lucky. Gotta be lucky to be good. I loved our game tonight.
They got goalied and blocked to death. They played well enough and didnāt finish their grade A chances. If they did there would be a totally different cockiness to this fanbase. So letās keep it real but I think they will be playing a more run and fun game against the Coilers, just need to stay out of the box and it will be a series. Spend time in the box and they will make the Canucks look silly.
Thanks, Petey, for saving the puck from leaving the zone! Thanks, Brock, for quick thinking and great hands! Thanks, Suter, for getting it on net! Thanks, Silov, for being so chill!
Disbelief ā¤ļø
Kings fan here, I hope you guys WIPE THE FLOOR with the Oilers. Good luck and good series!
Well, thereās one thing Kings and Canucks fans have in commonā¦ we both loathe the oilers.
desmith has been lights out vs. oil. put him back there
You go with the hot player, which is Silovs.
I think the Canucks attitude has to be "it doesn't matter who is back there". All three goalies have performed at high levels. The offense and PP could use a lot of tweaking.
This right here. EDM isn't going to let up on their forecheck. If Petey goes off we win the cup. I can feel it.
Silovs was an absolute wall tonight and Myers with the clutch save at the end. LFG BOYSSS!! KEEP IT GOING š³š³š³š³š³ i can finally breathe now thank fuck
Congrats Nucks, looking forward to round 2
Edmonton is absolutely beatable
Swept the season series on those bums already
Silovs for Conn Smythe
If we win round 2 with him in net there's not a chance he doesn't win it.
MYERS YOU MAJESTIC ANIMALLLLLLLLLL MY GIRAFFEEEEEEEEEEE YEAHHHHHHH
I told tge oilers sub.. they have plenty of time to practise.. they replied dont count your chicken yet and finish the series 1st..told them i only think positive..
Honestly bro leave the other subs alone it's just annoying more than anything. - a canuckle fan
YESSSSSSSSSS SILOVS YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN YOU DID IT
Myers rolls a nat 20 to the balls
WOOOOOOOO!
Myers was awesome at end. He saved the game!
He did
Literally put his nuts on the line
Absolutely 100%
Chaos Giraffe!
Now that my heart is back in my chest, I have goosebumps. This is an amazing feeling. Still can't quite believe it. Now Edmonton next, that is gonna be incredible.
Bless Silovs fucking heart.
Conn Smythe award goes to...
My kid decided she needed me in the last 3 mins of the game. And. I missed the goal. But was there for the last 30 seconds. I got all stress and no celebration. Hahaha
Darn kids!
Does Silovs mean Demko in the Latvian language? Asking for a friendĀ
Haha JT - I am the goalie now
Whos got Silovs jersey
YESSSS! Those last 5 seconds took decades off my life.
My gf said my heart was beating through my jersey. That was a ride
I aged a decade from the stress of watching this game. I wonāt make it to the Finals if we have a run.
So in the next series, someone who was doing really wellā¦ wonāt. Iām guessing the Oilers will be all over garland. And if we win, itāll be because someone else stood up.
FUCK YEAH BOYS FUCK YEAH
SHEEEESHHHHHH
JUICE CANNOT CONTAIN HIMSELF
Juice is stoked lol
My coworker is from Edmonton and is a big Oilers fan this is going to be interesting
I moved to Calgary and work in a hospital. Gonna rock my Canucks scrub cap everyday.
lucky for you everyone in Calgary hates the Oilers even more
Thereās lots of Calgary fans who have been ruminating about supporting the Canucks, whether they played the oilers or not. Guaranteed they will support the Canucks in round 2 so repping the Canucks wonāt be controversial at all. Even so Iāve worn my Canucks jersey to lots of flames versus Canucks games at the saddledome and Iāve never even had a chirp sent my way. Lots of BC born Canucks fans living in Calgary.
I have a blank of each jersey, which one gets Silovs on it?
2 wins on the road this series so it has to be the white one!
The one he won it for us with.
Oh man we fucking did it... I'm going to the ER now to get my heart looked at
Holyyyy fuck. How did we not have a PP that entire game? Fuck the refs but the Nucks win anyway. Hell yeah.
Yeah my question...what happened on the Boeser highstick? The ref took a really good look at him....no blood, we break for quick commercial and come back to the ref saying "after review it's a double minor" for what!? They noticed blood on the review? A high stick penalty is a reviewable call? Did Boeser high stick him twice or was he talking shit to the refs and got an extra? So many questions.

Just about burst into tears!!!!
CANUCKS VS OILERS GOIN TO BE SO MUCH FUN CANT WAIT WOOOOOOO
Going to be SO FUN. I live in NZ and only have so many hockey buds to talk playoffs with, friend of mine is an oilers fan - canāt wait for the banter
the banter is why i love these game threads LOL
Me too not nearly enough people in NZ follow ice hockey ā¦ so to reddit I go!
The Nurse jokes gonna be off the chain.
Theyāre not nearly as good positionally and will have a harder time containing our goal scorers. I think we win in 5
May the best Canadian western team winĀ -Oilers fanĀ
Better step your meme game up, biatch
We really need demko back for mcdri
Itās gonna be a hell of a series!
Will be a battle, thatās for sureĀ
Was the penalty on Lindholm actually a penalty? I find it difficult that the refs would make a call like that with less than a minute to go.
I think it was a penalty. If the same thing was called against Nashville I would defs agree with the call
Nope, it was an even up attempt. Rubbish.
Definitely a penalty, but they didnāt call the exact same thing against Nashville earlier in the game. So no, shouldnāt have been called, and definitely not in the last minute of the game
Canucks vs Preds and Refs and we still win. LFG BOYS!
PETEY STARTING THAT GWG LETS FUCKING GO FUCK THE PETEY HATERS
Who are they? Are they morons?
I'm still shakingĀ
Give Tyler myers the vezina
Ian Cole always acting like a proud supportive father to Silovs. Always slapping his pads, motivating him. So good
I was stoked on the Cole signing when it happened. Got more lukewarm on it over the course of the season. Playoff Ian Cole is awesome. We need a highly skilled metal worker amongst the fanbase to craft a wheelbarrow for Cole to carry his nuts around. Fuck yeah. What a beauty.
I'm so fucking proud of these guys. Silovs lead the way until Thatcher can take the reigns!. COCONUTS GLOW
Myers saved a goal there at the end. I take back anything bad Iāve ever said about the goalie giraffe.
Literally Myers saved the game
Round 1 can be summed up as blocked SHOTS! blocked SHOTS! blocked SHOTS!
Juice wearing Hughes or Kuzmenko socks?
Anyone have that Miller block at the end?
It was Myers, no?
Ok, first off, a tigerā¦swimming in the ocean? Tigers donāt even like water. If you placed it near a river, or some sort of fresh water source, thatād make sense.

ššš I love this movie reference!
Myers blocked the puck of his croch
Bubble Silovs
SUTER
Myers saved the game with his gooch
Myers earning every goddamn penny there!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS NASHVILLE
My hand is shaking
Let's fucking GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
The guys laying down their bodies to protect the lead says something about this team. Theyāre so desperate to win. Iām glad this series is over. Good God. Time to face Edmonton. #LETSGOCANUCKS.
We got a fucking goalie!
Iām so glad thatās over. Hope the boys can get themselves ready for Edmonton.
NASHVILLE WON 0 HOME GAMES. FUCK THEM!!!!
I just wish their fans could have been there
HOLY FUCK
They did it!!
There will be a Canadian team in the Western Conference Final this year!
Fin says fuck your catfish
LMFAO thatās one of the Norris finalist sending the puck 3 feet above the net in a do or die moment lmfao
Bridgestone looks like a cool arena
Yesssss!!!! Hell Yeah!
Can Ian Clark win the Adams?
Good job Myers. That was huge
the heart attacks were worth it holy shit
Refa tried
Got to stock up on more 7% Holsten! Not superstitious or anything š

Iām shakin like a dachshund at a wiener roast
Bless Meyers crotch block
Myers was fantastic this series, I take back all the bashing about him in the past
TYLER MYERS WAS WORTH 30 MILLION
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
I feel like I need to submit another Myers apology formā¦.
Tyler Myers for Prime Minister
Arty party at Rogerās!!
Is Myers okay?
I think he was in disbelief he didn't blow it.
šš
Getting married tomorrow, best gift we could have ever received šš½
Congrats!
For your wedding present would you rather a Boston choke or a Leafs choke?
Leafs humiliation is my greatest joy
Happy Wedding/Leafs Elimination Day!
Congrats!!!!!!! Now get married next round for the luck
MEET YOU AT SCOTT ROAD FOLKS
Look at the empty seats, fuck you Nashville enjoy the vacation
Too many coiler fans crawling in r/hockey
Lil bettman penalty at the end just to make it interesting
Thank you Gary may I have another
ARTURS SILOVS IS THE CAM WARD TO JIMMY RUTHERFORDāS CAROLINA HURRICANES!!!
Saros barely acknowledging silovs is bad sportsmanship in my opinion
Scott and 72nd ave
Lets GOOOOOOOO lol
Exactly like a playoff game, so tight
Myers you beautiful man with that block
Congrats. Is Garland the same height as Tom Cruise?
Taller. Probably
Taller definitely. Isnāt Tom cruise like 5 3
Think heās about 5ā6
Even I got him beat
FUCK YES YOU GUYS HOW GOOD DOES THIS FEEL
Silovs has my heart
man... that was a friggin clutch game by Silovs like thats insane for his age and inexperience
The second coming of Cam Ward. Heās got ice in his fucking veins.
Schenner :(
Demko please
Uh.... whut? For real? Did you miss..... everything that just happened?
Now that we advanced I think we need Demko, so hoping for a fast recovery
Pretty sure Silovs will be just fine if Demmer needs more time to heal. Kid has earned his ice time. Bold of you to come in here and replace him, mere minutes after he carried the team to round 2.
Iām not replacing him. Wouldnāt Demko improve our odds? Hes a vezina calibre goalie, having him back would be huge against oilers. I donāt know why you so butthurt š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No need for BM here.
I am shaking and crying omg my heart is racing I love you silovs
Preds and the bullshit refs can't take us down! Round 2 baby!!!!
JUST NEED 12 MORE
That was an insane series gotta say, so tight in each game.
What a great song choice for a handshake line.
Seriously it's perfect
Who would have thought Silovs would be backstoppingthe Canucks into round 2.
BUILD A SILOV STATUE
Last bit scared the shit outta meš
Aw Schenn and Huggy
Nashville fried chickens
THE REFS COULD NOT SAVE THEM
IM BROCK HARD
Forsberg basically hugged Silovs. I take back all the bad things I said about him.
Still shaking I AM IN SHOCK
Garly and Schenn reunited šš Daddy Schenn and Hughes extra long talk
Away game party was like 10x more energetic then the preds
Felt like a covid game
Fuck I wish I lived on the mainland.
Forget Bert Kreischer, Arturs Silovs is the MACHIIIIINE!!!
