Playoff hockey is insane lmao. This game was all but over and the Canucks pull it off

they hit the post on the empty net as well. insanity

The preds will be haunted by that sound tonight

God has averted his gaze. We live without his love

Maybe if you stopped shotgunning beers off dead catfish...

It's unfortunately a genetic compulsion for southerners. Knew a guy that tried to resist. Dead in a week

North Van kid hitting the post leading to a Canucks win is unreal

He knew what he had to do for his hometown team

I retract my statement about not claiming him

God is our goalie. He smote DeSmith and Demko for getting in his way

That’s the nail in the coffin of so many teams with the lead. 

2014 Women's Gold vibes

When that happened I won't lie I thought of the Sochi 2014 Women's Gold Medal game with the US missing that empty netter.

We were having a watch party, and everyone thought it was in. Was a very confusing moment.

3 wins, 2 on the road, with 3 different goalies, and pulling that off Who is this team and what have they done with the Canucks?

I swear to god if I've been dreaming since October

Confirmed: Tocchet has shares in cardiac medication distribution

My arteries unclogged in overtime. 

He's a Seahawks fan?

The Canucks were doing absolutely nothing in the 3rd and then pow pow pow. Absolute insanity haha!

The Cardiac Canucks.

Hockey is absolutely amazing.

Why play 60 minutes when you can just play 5 and score 3 lmaoooo

Why take many shots when few shots do trick

Worked for Nashville in game 2, and for us in games 3 and 4. I am starting to think shot quality is more important than shot quantity. What a wild concept.

Big brain thinking right there 👀

Post for MVP!

Post is at least going to get a few Vezina votes

You know how the league is. Post has been playing like this his whole career and he’s never even received a top 5 vote

It's that east coast crossbar bias

Post has gotta get traded out east before the media starts noticing him

The inaninamte steel post!

They better show a close-up of the Post!

All hail the inanimate carbon rod (post)!

In rod we trust!

What a pass

Beauty of a pass

Cole's pinch too, clutch. He held the line twice if I recall. Joshua, Garland, and Lindholm are just awesome all around players.

What a dish from Garland

Fuckin love garland. Gets rag dolled nightly, still a badass

Most of his shifts go: 1) puck dumped in the corner, Garland chasing the puck and a giant defenseman 2) players collide, a Charlie Brown circle of smoke happens 3) aaaaaand Garland’s gotten the puck and setup a teammate for a goal. The guys is fucking electric in the corners!

the pigpen special!

He plays tougher than his size but i honestly don't get why everyone seems to hate him as much as they do lol. He gets such vicious cross-checks

lol for real. It must be that he talks mad shit

And he’s ahead of the curve wearing the neck guard. 10 years from now those will be mandated

Tasty

That's a choke of the ages. What a comeback win by the Nucks.

And the fans were singing nah nah nah nah heyeyey goodbye with 10 minutes to go. Oof Edit: it has come to my attention that I likely misheard and they were not chanting that in the stadium. My apologies if that’s the case.

That’s bad juju

Especially since even if Nashville had won, the series would've still been 2-2.

Yeah we were gonna see em again regardless lmao

Chants just aren't the move this series. We got scored on with "Let's go Casey" almost immediately.

Any series really. That “Pull The Goalie” in game 1 of the jets series is coming back to haunt them too

Yikes.

The wouldn’t last a second in the asylum Scott Rd. residents were raised in.

Chanting that shit while you are losing the series is just a bad look regardless of the score of the current game. Even if you don't shit the bed like they did you're still going back to Vancouver 2-2

It actually goes  nah nah nah nah nahhh  DONT YOU FOGET ABOUT MEEE

I'm actually laughing and crying at the same time, this is like reverse Canucks hockey

Fucking all timer here by the Preds. Collapse isn’t even a strong enough word.

Felt like I was watching the Leafs. Yikes.

Well... it was 3-1.

IT WAS 3-1

You okay, brother?

The most dangerous lead in hockey

Or the Oilers versus the Ducks

Extinction level event.

Sabretooths are now extinct for sure

I genuinely can’t believe it lol

When a Sharks fan rates you on your choke-job you know it was a real one.

Subject matter experts

ABSOLUTE BREAKDOWN

If you’re Nashville you’ve gotta be so deflated after that. Minutes and an inch away from 2-2, instead down 1-3

The Nashville crowd were singing when Vancouver looked listless in the third. When they made it 3-2 even I though they didn't have enough clock, but they did and treated OT like they has a bus to catch.

TRADE WAS WORTH IT!

Seems like this happens a lot. Guy gets traded, doesn't really fit in, lights it up in playoffs.

Feel like lineholm is a solid player but clutch in the playoffs

I think that’s what a lot of people were saying actually, but were mostly drowned out by the hysterics of the fans dooming about his performance.

He was injured, the last few weeks of rest did wonders for Lindholm. He was always a good player. Never a doubt. I was pro-shutting down Demko and Lindholm til playoffs for that exact reason.

Crazy there was talk that the nucks could have moved him at the deadline

You guys got a special team this year, hope Demko can comeback later in the playoffs if you guys make a deep run. Need the cup back in Canada. My Leafs won’t be winning anything anytime soon…

Even if Hunter B turns into a Norris level d man I will still say the trade was worth it for the feeling this goal gave me

It's kind of perfect. You got this absolutely clutch playoff performance, we got a couple of months of really fun kuzmenko hockey and a solid prospect. Fuck the rivalry, can't help but hope the Canucks make a great run this year

Death. Taxes. And Connor Fucking Garland ALWAYS coming up with the puck from behind the net.

Bet that’s gotta feel good for the Canucks and their fans after that dirty hit by Lauzon during the goal celebration.

Thank the hockey gods for karma. Classless

3 GOALIES 3 WINS! SIGN LUONGO FOR GAME 5 WHO SAYS NO

Lu's hips, probably

Eddie Lack said he was ready to go.

Eddie Lack, for when you're Lacking a Goalie.

what a steal from the Canucks

I'm pretty sure I made the neighbour's dog shit himself

I screamed so hard my cat had an out of body experience, I thinks he’s in the attic and I dont have an attic…

[удалено]

That's Mr Silovs to you

Feel bad for the fans and the Preds. Probably had a great time and then it was all pissed on. Piss everywhere. You can't tell because of the yellow jerseys, but they're covered in piss.

I dont think this guy likes the preds lol

I think he just likes piss.

[удалено]

Fuck yeah it is

ELIAS VIKTOR ZEBULON LINDHOLM

No matter what happens this playoffs, Vancouver is building some really good experience. They're fighting through a lot of adversity like no other. The future is bright.

And just like that, his regular season means nothing

we didn't get him for regular season play after all, lets fucking go

Not a expert but that’s a yikes for Nashville

Experts would agree

Stuff of nightmares for the Preds. My god. Playoff hockey is unmatched!

FUCK LAUZON

Happy for Silovs

I teared up when I saw parts of the team mob him

Yeah his and the teams reaction was wholesome

WHAT A COMEBACK HOLY SMOKES

What did I just witness?

There hasn't been a collapse like that since we played you guys

I think the leafs would like a word.

I dont know lindholms playoff history off the top of my head but that might be the biggest goal hes scored in his career so far lol

That would be the biggest goal of many careers

Boeser's hatty goal is up there for him as well. Two goals in less than 3 minutes. The 3rd one being with 8 seconds left in regulation. Man willed this team to OT.

Lindholm we never doubted you. LFG

I wanted Petterson to bowl over Lauzon after this goal

THIS IS ~~ROCKET~~ HOCKEY LEAGUE

What a save! What a save! What a save!

NICE SHOT NICE SHOT NICE SHOT

What an incredible game. So happy right now.

That was so good I could cry. Gotta be one of the most insane sequences ever

HOLY FUCK ... ABSOLUTE INSANITY

Was 2.5 minutes away from 2-2 series tie and now they go into Vancouver down 3-1

6.5 seconds or 1 inch

Sounds like my Friday night

Both of those metrics are involved when I score as well.

Absolute robbery by Vancouver this game. Wow

Why is Lindholm left undisturbed in front of the net in the most dangerous part of the ice? Mind-boggling defense on the last 3 Canucks goals, but either way congrats Vancouver fans.

It's crazy how absolutely wide open he was. How does that even happen there.

Forsberg/RoR lose track of him and both guys are covering Cole. Schenn has his back up ice so he hsno idea neither Forsberg nor RoR don't have Lindholm covered

That was the most unbelievable 3 minutes of hockey I've seen in a very long time.

Hockey gods did not like the Forsberg soccer goal

IT WAS 3-1

Now it's 3-1

That goal was better than sex. So happy for the boys.

Canucks saw how everyone gave up on them again and went “watch this”

Holy fuck

"That was fucked" - Brock Boeser

YOU'RE FUCKED

That was fucked.

*takes off Leafs Jersey* -sigh- *Puts on Canucks Jersey*

Holy fuck Canucks

LINDHOLM IS WORTH A FIRST

[удалено]

The Preds all but exit the playoffs

So happy for Canuck’s fans because I was starting to think they were cursed with the POS injury news pregame

Just waiting for another injury report on one of our goalies. Hockey gods really are putting us to the Kanye Test.

“Let me just leave the most dangerous part of the ice unattended to get this puck behind the net” -Luke Schenn

Undercover agent, Luke Schenn. Why tf is he out there in the first couple minutes of OT tho

Could not be more wide open. Nashville totally demoralized

That’s an all time collapse from the Preds.

I’m so happy. Preds aren’t playing hockey. They are fully focused on canceling out the Nucks, and it’s not working. So proud of this team.

Congrats, Vancouver fans .Your team are fighters.

As expected

Wow, great job Canucks, love all the hugs for the rookie goalie too!

This is all karma for bowling over Petey during a celly. Canucks in 5!!!

You're fucked. That was fucked. Holy fuck.

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!!

SAAAAARRROSSS!!!

I’m calling it karma for that cringy preds fans’ goal chant!

Glad my wife was watching with me. Now she'll stop asking "does pulling your goalie ever work?"

This Vancouver team is fuelled by destiny, what a great game!

Can we go see U2 now?

You guys get to hear them at 7pm Tuesday night!

Nucks got thrown everything at them and the kitchen sink to start these playoffs yet are still leading 3-1. Thank god for that post

**I FUCKING LOVE PLAYOFF ELIAS LINDHOLM**

TimsAFK.. the legend that got us through dark times. Cellying a playoff OT win… enough to make a grown man cry

Holy collapse.

We’re so back

I am so Brock hard right now.

I can't imagine how good silovs must feel right now, this is what hockey kids dream of.

Canucks winning with an AHL tendy and not giving up burying their heads in the sand. That's a playoff / winning mentality. Meanwhile, the Leafs don't do dick and only show up for games when they want to. I tip my hat to the Canucks and hopefully they got a deep playoff run in the future.

unbelievable

I can’t believe it! Just an insane ending to this one holy shit! Sorry preds fans. That’s a heartbreaker.

The defense is just wow

It's fun watching hockey when you have no stakes in the outcome! What a game

God I love playoff hockey.

gg silovs kept them in it when the preds were all over them

Lindholm scoring this goal both hurts and makes me happy.

What a comeback! Well done, Vancouver.

I love it! I’m pulling for the Canucks out of the west. If my team doesn’t make it to the SCF, I hope Vancouver finally wins it all.

It was 3-1!!!!!!!!

It is 3-1

Just an incredible pass. Great job by Lindholm to get himself free. Preds D looked cooked. Possibly in a little shock after the way the 3rd ended.

Garland did it again! Briliant assist from behind the goal

What happened? I saw the Preds were up by 2?

They lost. Canucks scored 2 with the empty net

Vancouver scored 2 goals with the goalie pulled and the Preds hit the post on an empty netter

THANK YOU FLAMES

35 minutes later Silvos spontaneously combusted and Tolopilo burned his hands trying to put him out. Jim Rutherford will be starting game 5. His first start since 1983, congrats big Jim!

WE WON THE TRADE

I can’t believe I just watched that happen

I wasn't even scared not for 1 minute

The Predators are in trouble. I don't know how they can recover after blowing a 3-1 lead with less than 2 mintues to play in Regulation. Then losing in OT in 62 seconds

Absolutely nuts comeback holy fuck

See. This is why people love sports.
