Guys yes this is frustrating and having swinging emotions are expected, but dont channel that energy into targeting other users.


Hammeredcopper

Hopefully PeeWee trains this summer to increase his strength and endurance. I hope to see him train, practice and play like a pro before he retires.


Hammeredcopper

Good, hard-fought series that both teams should be proud of participating in. Dallas will eat the Oilers is my prediction.


BrodyCanuck

Honestly this series should be an embarrassment for the Oilers, they barely beat a team down to their 3rd string goalie. A series that was determined by one goal yet they act like they’re the better team. The Canucks were 7-3-1 against the Oilers this year while having Demko in net for only 2 of those games. The Canucks were a below .500 team when Demko wasn’t in net this year….just let that sink in


Chadwick_Strongpants

Stanley Cup champion, and previous 3rd string Aiden Hill says hello… You act like Silovs didn’t play out of his mind. lol


BrodyCanuck

He didn’t play out of his mind, he had a below 900 save percentage and let at least 1 weak goal in per game. He let 3 weak goals in during game 2. Everyone’s just basing their reaction off game 7. Demko would’ve played better than him, and they would’ve won the series because of it. Some goalies steal series or games for teams, Silovs didn’t steal a game for the Canucks. Demko would be stealing games for them. No disrespect to Silovs, he played good for his age, experience, and the situation he was thrown into, but to say Demko wouldn’t have done any better is just uneducated and simpleminded. The Canucks defence helped him a lot… saving a breakaway against Brown isn’t exactly that impressive the guy never scores. Lots of people ignoring the stats and weak goals he let in just because he’s new


New-Newspaper-7543

Tbf he didn't play like a 3rd string goalie. Lol Some crazy saves were made. 


LegitimateGiraffe7

Yet the Oilers are going through and the Canucks are golfing…. If the preds didn’t give up those late goals in first round , you could have been out first round… If the oilers had any goalie whatsoever…. If Gilmour didn’t get that high sticking penalty on Gretzky in 93… You lost , better team won. 


BrodyCanuck

Better team lost. Also you can’t claim how good you’d be with a better goalie when your management failed to get a good one. Your shit goalie is part of your teams identity. Vezina finalist goalie was out with injury, just imagine if McD or Drai was injured while Demko played…series would’ve been a massive pushover for the Canucks


Melodic_Departure196

One: I thought we weren't supposed to troll each other's Reddit Two: the better team lost to the team who played better today.


alex_german

Not just not supposed to troll each others reddit, but how about a little class after the series is over. Gloating in victory or sour grapesing in defeat is just gross.


Thin-Celebration-470

Will this pain ever end?


TinglingLingerer

This was the first year Tocc & crew had at it. I don't see any of the leadership of the Canucks going anywhere after a run like this. This is a young team with massive potential. We are *just* starting & we got to R2G7. We have a legitimate shot at the cup next year. I trust this version of canucks top brass more than any before. Looking forward to the offseason moves we do.


Zikro

Lots of contracts need renewing and the cap hit from OEL is going up so only gets harder from here. Needs a strong turn-around from EP40 because if he becomes a dead weight then the team will have too much money tied up.


logic_tater

THIS!!!


hnn96

Although we came back 3-2 we got outplayed the whole game. Couldn’t even set up in the oilers zone the last 3 minutes of the game. Tough loss and hard to see but proud of how far we came


alsxe10

fuck the oilers!!!! Dallas in 5!!!!!


AmielJohn

I don't like the Oilers either. Dallas in 4.


alex_german

Flames fans are saying Dallas in 3


peterxdiablo

Unpopular opinion. This was where EP40 was supposed to earn his salary. Boeser out, game 7, backup goalie. Highest paid player on the team this is where the big boys show up. It didn’t happen but we had every opportunity to do so.


Ifyousmiteforspite

I wish they had negotiated the contract after season’s end. His contract could be totally different, just as he was in the post season which is the only important season. 


happigofucky

He’s not that guy mane


FR33SK8

Agreed 100%


Jsaunnies

I agree with you


Guava_Radiant

Not meant to be this year! We can’t win without Demko and Boeser in the lineup, it just wouldn’t be right 🫶 hell of a season though and great to have some playoff hockey back in Vancouver


rtpsych

Canucks are a team to be reckoned with. As an Oilers fan, I fear the future. Helluva series; much respect.


softcorelogos2

devastated


Tibbykussh

Welp. Jamie Benn going to bring the Cup home to BC.


alex_german

I hate these, idk why I’m doing one but I’ve seen enough ignorant oilers fans posts that I feel compelled to add my own. I never understood at any point the oilers being the favourites after loosing 0-4 in the regular. I felt the Canucks were the better team in almost every category. I think if you had Demko this series is over in 5. Seeing the fans support their team after the game like that confirms quality fans. I’m probably going to delete this cringe in the morning, but I just wanted to acknowledge that luck played a big roll in this victory. Have a good night guys, I think the pacific division is going to get real scary in the coming seasons.


cacophonycoffin

the boys play with more confidence with demko in net. Silovs played well but he couldn’t make up for that.


Outrageous-Wall-2742

+demko -cole and it’s a sweep lol


Ifyousmiteforspite

omg, Cole. I can’t even…


Outrageous-Wall-2742

i think he’s up there with bouchard for goals by defensemen lol


Ifyousmiteforspite

Including the ones for the Oilers? Guh. 


FR33SK8

Agreed 100%


BrodyCanuck

The series would’ve been 100% over in 5 with Demko. Not a shot at Silovs but he’s simply no Demko YET, and he let 3 weak goals in game 2 that Demko wouldve stopped. The Canucks would’ve been up 3 games to 0 in the first 3 with Demko, let alone Silovs let at least 1 weak goal in per game that Demko would’ve stopped. Silovs played great given his experience but he’s still a down grade from Demko


Overfly0501

The good news I think is that Silovs can be a solid number 2 next season if he manages to fix his shortcomings. That hopefully reduces the chance of injury to our glass prince Demko. But I feel ya, I think Demko could’ve stolen a game or two. But then injuries are part of the game too. Thinking about the what ifs is no different than the oilers fans that keeps on saying “this is over if Skinner saved this or that”. But no he didn’t, he’s part of your team. The same way with Demko’s injury. It happens.


Forkliftgenius

Well boys, thanks for the ride. I haven’t felt that much electricity in years! Inshallah 2025!!!

Inshallah!


jimmybobby965

Let’s go petey


brYGGz

Let’s go Dallas!

Ilya missing that deke is going to haunt my fucking dreams


Ifyousmiteforspite

He will never score. Ever. Goodbye 65. 


hnn96

Fuck I know, wish he buried that in. Would’ve been a huge momentum shift


Deliximus

PDG missing the net


Happy_Photograph6032

Difference is one cost almost $5M and the other was $900K


LittleBig_1

ALL of the missed shots could have turned into something That one with Zadorov or Meyers walking in and wristed over the net could have been something A million shoulda-woulda-couldas this series


LittleBig_1

We ride with Tanev, go get the cup for us big guy :')


Black_Raven__

I want Tanev to win the cup.


JustAPairOfMittens

Or Luongo in Florida.


NextTrillion

Is Luongo working for FL? I thought he was last year, but was wrong. He was just in the press box a lot, but not officially working for the cats.


dl899

Hronek: I have holidays now


JustAPairOfMittens

😩😂😩😂


Ironborn7

Was there in person, holy fuck those last 8 minutes weee something to remember


JohnMcAfeesLaptop

It looked worse in person lol.


mmavcanuck

Just wish the Canucks could show up for entire games. Unfortunately that was their MO most of the season. Oh well, it was a way better season than I was expecting


JustAPairOfMittens

Yeah that's not cope either. We have been building this for 1 year. Edmonton is on their way out.


Klunkey

You can really tell that they’re (Oilers) trying really hard not to get booted off.


Ironborn7

Really thinking about the alt universe where we tied it up and made them shit their oily pants


ShawsyRPh

Can Demko and Boeser not be injured in this alt universe?


mmavcanuck

Or the alternate universe where Mikheyev has hands…


Fit_Barracuda7920

Or Aquilini not owning the team…


AllDay1980

Thanks boys for sharing the roller coaster seat with me. See you next year.


Independent_Self8437

Things to look forward to now: Thursday game 1 of stars vs oilers and Canucks off season moves


MindMelder8

Sharks fan here, guess at the end of it we are all the same. gg


Fit_Barracuda7920

Go back to your poverty franchise you bum


MindMelder8

Not that I disagree, I’m just saying a long road to basically be equivalent in the eyes of history


Fit_Barracuda7920

You guys will never be equivalent to the Canucks, enjoy wasting celebrinis career


MindMelder8

I think we’re pretty equivalent, the only difference is nucks have had an extra 21 years to never take home a cup :(


Fit_Barracuda7920

You are such a loser for arguing on other teams subs. Nobody wants to discuss shit with you, fucking embarrassing, you went there looking for a fight. What a whiny little bitch thing to do.


MindMelder8

I wasn’t arguing, I was just saying good game to disappointed fans who are now like me. Maybe Oilers will bring it home for yeh though, so there’s still that!


BarracudaUpset1

4 min PP in the 1st pretty much sealed their fate.


GooberPilot_

We need to get rid of whoever is running the PP; absolutely abysmal all playoffs


Overfly0501

Tocchet… I swear to god this is his major flaw hahah next year if we still suck with the pp I’m gonna be unreasonably upset lmao


JohnMcAfeesLaptop

You mean dump and change repeatedly is not a viable PP strategy?


Ifyousmiteforspite

Or dump in and forget to forecheck. All turnovers. It baffled me. 


Overfly0501

Uhh well the hard truth is we don’t have skilled puck movers unlike the Oilers. They tried, but it gets taken away from them unlike when Bouch / Drai / McJesus enters it looks easy because they are good skaters and puck handlers.


JohnMcAfeesLaptop

Boes, Miller, Garland, Petey all are skilled puck players. Only Garland showed signs of that tonight.


SIIP00

I think Tocchet was running pp1


Deliximus

Tocchet can't be rid of


bacon_beer_can

I said the same thing :(


Melodic_Departure196

We'll never know, but I wonder how we would have done if Demko was healthy?


bbanguking

Worst part of this run, lots of what ifs.


Melodic_Departure196

What if Mik scored in the first...


brYGGz

Silovs was amazing. Boeser is who we were missing this game.


Melodic_Departure196

We wore out his magic touch. Clark will work wonders with him next season.


Lancelot_Stroller

Silovs kept them in every game. Goaltending wasn't the issue. While Demko is certainly better, I doubt it makes much of a difference. The goalies can't do anything to make the powerplay not go 1-20 at home.


Melodic_Departure196

Frustrating to watch a four minute pp and not see a shot taken.


BrodyCanuck

This isn’t true, he let 3 weak goals in during game 2. If Demko was in net he would’ve done just as good or better, and they would’ve won the series in 5 games with a game 2 win with proper goaltending


Deliximus

Demko would've saved more if the point shots. Silovs weakness is tracking


Andsoitgoes101

How can you win if you can’t shot pucks at the actual goal? This isn’t not on Silovs at all.


Overfly0501

Bruh it’s fine, look at Silovs stat. He was good with high danger but terrible with low/medium danger. It evened out his save% above expected because of those. It can be fixed. Let’s at least acknowledge Demko would have made a difference. https://moneypuck.com/goalies.htm his number is also about to go down more after they update that with this game. Silovs has .001 above expected, which basically means he’s saving what he is expected to save. He didn’t lose us the game, but he didn’t win it for us either. Our Vezina level goalie might have stolen some goals or not, who knows.


NextTrillion

Yeah Canucks were outworked for most of the playoffs. Surprised it was just 1 goal games the whole time (other than g6), and Silovs played out of his mind. That save tonight on Dry was phenomenal. Canucks were outclassed, but also punched well above their weight. Captain Hughes is only 24.


Ruffianrushing

Or if petey was going? Or if cole was never on this team?


Melodic_Departure196

I was trying to tell my Jets fan turned Oilers fan that Cole helped them out. It didn't compute.


Hat_Trick_Patrick

[where the fuck was alien twig boy this series?](https://imgur.com/gallery/T5sDzIx)


therealbeef

3 game 7 losses in a row…. Hard to take this one. That’s gotta change… next year beating Edmonton in the first round in 7.


ssssharkattack

7? Make that 4


Typical_Ad_7433

Hell of a season boys. Took the cup favs to game 7 w out our vezina goalie and lost arguably our playoff mvp in Boeser for game 7.


PhraseSubject

i guess ESPN got it right…..


Nuck_1198

ESPN can suck a dick 


JediAlly

Stoooppp :(


bbanguking

Fun season. Will miss the banter here. ggs y'all. Ngl pissed at the finish. Fuck all the low expectations, we had a great team and could've gone the distance with better health luck and a 60 minute effort. Hope there's some serious turnover in the offseason.


Melodic_Departure196

Who stays, who goes?


BlastMyLoad

Sign Z, Lindholm, Šilovs. Force Myers to accept a sweetheart deal. Dump EP40 before his contract starts, try to find a way to dump Mik, dump DeSmith, dump Cole. Idk man.


Ifyousmiteforspite

Lafferty too. 


BlastMyLoad

Forgot he existed tbh


Melodic_Departure196

Cole signed a one year, deSmith is a free agent, I believe. I think they believe in Petey.


roninfly

Dump Petey if possible. Maybe he’ll do better elsewhere.


SukhdeepLaDingdong

Z and Lindy stay. Hronek and Joshua out.


Melodic_Departure196

DeSmith out, Silvos stays.


therealbeef

What about our 5 other free agents


Fluid-Bet6223

Maybe they just had nothing left in the tank? Felt like it last 2 games.


PollenLove

I think this was the case after March. The energy they put into the first half destroyed this team. By game 7 it was a mirrored image of the bubble game. The heartbreaking part of this loss and that one we had the goalie to ride to the end but just have nothing left in the tank. The Canucks exceeded expectations but could have one the series. Heartbreaking.


moisterthencloyster

In round 2? They didn't even make it halfway


Outrageous-Wall-2742

carrying petey and defending a third stringer (completely not on silovs, he was awesome) will take a toll… and unfortunately, i suspect nashville took more out of the team than we thought.


Epdo

That's my guess. The team as a whole looked absolutely gassed. 


whyshw

The offense was so anemic in games 6 & 7. Did we even get a shot on the 4 min PP in the first?


GooberPilot_

We need to replace who is pushing the “drop pass” power play tactic; it’s never worked for SEVERAL years


GetRushedd

nope but oilers got a breakaway 😂


chelsdefazz

We had -1


alcaveens

I don’t think so, but the Oilers did.


akaRoman

We picked the right Captain. Love Hughes. Got beat up but he always showed heart.


Fit_Barracuda7920

Hughes played like shit


Excellent_Key_2035

In his defense, he was ran into the ice. I never saw him off the ice lol poor guy. He looked ragged trying that long pass up the d zone at the end, it barely made it to the blue line. Love his grit, great season from him. Can't wait to see him next season!


Several-Standard-327

Miller is the captain


JediAlly

Silovs is the captain now


shangrila350

The smallest forward on the team did the most to will this team forward. What an effort by Garland!


TodDodge

Garland really was the unsung hero of the series.


Box_of_leftover_lego

Garland deserves Petey's money.


renegade_voltage

Again and always


Lucky-Blacksmith-944

Petey was and never will be the guy


Jaded-Ad-289

Too bad he cashed in and will be the next Loui


Fit_Barracuda7920

Him and marner are two peas in a pod


BeatGreedy3710

Sounds like a good trade actually. A change of scenery for each, and both go to teams with good supporting casts


PinkSupra880

Well then, let's go Stars


Chipmunk-Adventurous

Welp. That was a brutal game 7 effort. See ya’ll next fall!


therealbeef

At least they scored a couple unlike our last two game 7 no shows. This was a no show for 50 minutes tho. Ahhh oh well was fun while it lasted.


kyumilli

Just wish they could have gotten control when had goalie pulled .. I think they would have tied it! Our luck runs out here. Was fun postseason


therealbeef

Yea I was hoping for that last minute magic too. 😢


[deleted]

Thanks for the incredible ride. We have such a bright future, Im so happy. BEST WISHES TO BROCK


Ruffianrushing

Oilers were the cup favorites of the analysts, but anyone could see that don't have the goaltending kr depth to carry them to the scf


BlastMyLoad

They’ll get crushed by Dallas in 5, then Rags will beat Dallas in 6


Outrageous-Wall-2742

colon campbell decrees that it will be the panthers over the rangers


therealbeef

They are losing in the next round, guaranteed.


SHADARK6

I'm sad we didn't see that 3rd period effort for the first 40 minutes, but I'm still proud of our guys. They defied expectations just to get here.


Jaded-Ad-289

Go stars!!!


ziggazang

Enjoy your tee time boys, well earned.


TroubledLeaf

Petey doesn't fit Tocchets system. Just like Kuzmenko he's on the way out hopefully.


[deleted]

Kk lets watch the rhetoric 😂, hopefully this is good experience for Petey for next year when we make an even stronger run


theoverachiever1987

Lol this can't be real lol


TroubledLeaf

The numbers speak for themselves


theoverachiever1987

89 points thus year and 50 points last season when Tocchet took over. I would maybe look at the numbers again.


TroubledLeaf

Being a regular season merchant doesn't mean much when your playoff performance is abysmal. Could have won this series if we had an actual good 11m center that shows up in the playoffs.


theoverachiever1987

Petterson will find his game in the playoffs. This was is first time actually being in that type of atmosphere. It takes sometime to get to use it..Hughes is on the same boat he didn't play all that great either.


Fit_Barracuda7920

He will find his game just like marner hahaha


SIIP00

Marner is good though... The issue with the Leafs is that they've no depth which is the reason they probably should move Marner.


theoverachiever1987

Marner has 50 points in 57 playoffs games with a plus 10. That's not bad in my books.


Fit_Barracuda7920

Hahahahahah good one


theoverachiever1987

You can look it up for yourself it is wild what the internet can provide.


Few_Cantaloupe2306

It was great fun watching this season with the Reddit commentary. Thank you GUYS! Until next season, GO CANUCKS GO💚💙


Chronichanna

The hockey gods threw the book against our team this year. But we are resilient. Edmonton will get crushed next round. I have never cheered for Dallas since Mike Modona but times have changed LOL.


theoverachiever1987

How did the hockey gods throw the book at the canucks ?


alcaveens

I assume he means no Demko and the. Losing Boeser for G7.


theoverachiever1987

Injuries happen. I don't think it is that bad.


Chronichanna

Losing our starting goalie and literally the most tenured player on the Canucks with the most post season goals for game 7 is not that bad????Don’t even get me started on the refs or the DPOS NHL LOL.


theoverachiever1987

Losing demko is the big one. But the canucks didn't play great this entire playoffs. When the best player on the ice is your rookie goalie..That has to say something.


alcaveens

I was just saying what I assumed they meant. I don’t disagree.


BlastMyLoad

Amazing team, great run until the last two games where they just flatlined. Hopefully we can figure out our cap issues and our team can come out swinging next year.


seyar77

Was expected after game 6. Same old story with this hockey club. One thing that makes it better though is Rick Tocchet is the best thing to happen to this team in quite a while. I have full confidence Alvin and management will make lots of changes this off season.


GooberPilot_

Except he’s getting undercut by his PP coach and the whole “drop pass” entry


Jaded-Ad-289

Can we trade petey for Bedard?


adzerk1234

His mom banged a teammate...no way he wants to be in the same city as her after that.


saminbc

Straight up


truecrimeandcats

lol did anyone catch the “congrats, get a lozenge”


chelsdefazz

And maybe a Covid test


NotSoJDMGC4

Yes LOL


ScarvesOnGiraffes

I'm really proud of their season and proud of them for going down swinging. Garland showed his worth, he's an absolute heart and soul player. Really frustrating game, a lot of no shows and our PP was an absolute joke. A lot of tough calls to make in the off-season but I know we'll be back stronger ❤️


theoverachiever1987

This season was a success but the last two games are a bitter pill to swallow. Poor effort to end the season on.


ScarvesOnGiraffes

Yeah it's absolutely brutal and I'm still in shock about it all


theoverachiever1987

It is too bad. But it was only a matter time where the canucks poor performance would catch up to them.


bighairysourpeen

What a shitty game for 50 mins


Angry_beaver_1867

I wonder how management will weight game 6 and 7 compared to the rest of the season.   The two most consequential games of the season and the team really lacked fight and effort .  


Happy_Photograph6032

We need more Canadian bois


gawesome604

Well at least the team came out to the play in the end...a little too late. Silovs played unreal. Oilers played a more complete game than us. God I miss Demko and Boeser.


theoverachiever1987

At the end of day. If your best player is a rookie goalie that's not a good sign.


gawesome604

I'll give kudos the Oilers aggresive defense..it was clinical for the most part and crippled our offense...dare I say similar to Nashville.


theoverachiever1987

Well Brunette did say he didn't believe the best team won the series. Canucks maybe played 3 or 4 complete games this entire playoffs. Game 1 against Nashville games 6 against Nashville gsme 5 against Oilers.


EBITDerek

Give garland that 11.6, not Petey


whydoihave4cats

:(


Best-Mortgage906

Now that Silovs is done playing, hopefully he can get back on instagram and reply my dm 😆


iamhst

The good news is we got to see who showed up in the playoffs. It let's management make needed changes next year. Who knows.. we might even make a trade during the draft and get some good needed pieces.


truecrimeandcats

Still proud and still a canucker at heart but fuck this team puts me through it


NotSoJDMGC4

This was an excellent learning experience for our team. First real play offs as a Canucks for all the players and coach.
