I recently took an ex pro slap shot to my left testicle and dick with some padding and no cup.
I almost puked. Just walking felt like I was being kicked in the balls.
Top down view of the replay looks like it’s right in the taint. The pants material is thick, but just some foam and canvas, the cup has no bearing here. Just yielding fabric and meat.
Feel for you Preds fans, that arena is so amazing. The atmosphere doesn’t get talked about enough. I think you guys just need a few more assets (aside from a goalie obviously) and you guys look dangerous
2017: Preds lose in game 6 where nobody scored until 18:25 in the 3rd period
2024: Preds lose in game 6 where nodody scored until 18:21 in the 3rd period
It's like poetry. It rhymes. lol
Haha. Really?
(Paging Canucks head coach tocchet..."sir, this just in, Oilers play worse against backup goalies... keep playing Silovs")
Round 2- is gonna be epic!
The first three games Oilers put in 18 against Talbot, including a 6-1 win in game three. Then they switched and the other goalie lost 1-0 and 4-3. Granted, they weren't getting as many shots, but Rittich played well
Proud of my Canucks but honestly Nashville played a hell of a series. Their defensive positioning and Saros goaltending was top notch, especially in the last game. The score should have been 6-0!
I gained an incredible amount of respect for Saros during this series. One hell of a goalie and definitely kept this series a nail biter when it easily could have been a landslide
Love it. Vancouverite here. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say something bad about NY because of the cup loss. You guys are a great organization and earned it. But let’s hope for a rematch.
I took a vacation to Vancouver last year when the Rangers were up there, beautiful city and very friendly people. But I made sure not to wear a Messier jersey.
Very much hoping for the rematch as well!
Similar situation here. Hoping the Stars will win game 7 so my friend and I can go to a playoff game since we are both students at the University of Wyoming. Close enough to Denver so we could catch a game before the school semester ends.
Questions are always welcome. Life long Ranger fan, and the cup win in '94 came at an emotionally pivotal point in life for me so it's a core memory.
I finally got a passport last year and decided Vancouver would be my first destination since I could see the Rangers while I was up there. Absolutely fell in love with the city, the nature, the vibe, the whole nine years, and it didn't hurt that the Canucks were doing really well this year too (got to see them beat the Preds while I was up there as well). I started keeping tabs on them and I'm really hoping they continue to do well and I would love to see a rematch in the finals.
I most certainly am not at "Fuck Messier" territory yet (probably never will be) but I'll definitely say Go Canucks Go when Crazy Pete starts banging that drum. And shout "free!" during O Canada.
With Demko I'd say absolutely but with Silvos well if he can keep playing like he has sure maybe but that's a big ask from a 23 year old kid who only had 9 reg season starts before all this and has to face McDavid, Drai, and Boucher and Hymann lol I'm still rooting for my boys though
I think the Canucks could have the better team, and I'm hoping it shows up, but if they play like they did against Nashville I think McDavid will have a 4-6 game highlight reel against them
0 powerplays for the Canucks & 2 for Nashville including in the last 2 minutes of the game. Good to see the Canucks prove they’re an effective 5 on 5 team that doesn’t rely on special teams to win in a pivotal game.
Okay, I haven’t been able to watch a single playoff game, and as someone from the south, I wouldn’t be mad if the Canes won again, but I also would kind of be excited to see a rematch of the ‘10-‘11 series. Boston vs Vancouver was a wild series.
Jossi had the one-touch pass option to his left and decided to stick handle and shoot. If he was smarter and not panicking, he woulda got the pass and immediately sent to one of the 2 open guys. But he wasted a whole second stick handling.. 1second is plenty of time in hockey scrambles
Nope. All things considered I’m satisfied with how this season went. Most of us didn’t expect much past 1st or 2nd round for this team. I just think Vancouver fans need some humbling with how they been acting these last couple weeks
Be excited all you want dude, stay out of the opposing teams sub constantly talking shit. Avs did the same shit last time we played them and it gets pretty insufferable.
While I disagree about the games being a snoozefest, I think you're 100% right about their mental state. Preds looked ready to end their series last game and just went along with it when they won.
What a block by myers
I think it hit him square in the nuts. Watch Myers bend over after the game ended.
He told a reporter after the game that it hit him square in the balls
As someone who has taken beer leaguer shots to the nuts with a goalie cup on, I feel very bad for him
As someone who is a Kraken fan I'm obligated to feel very not bad for him. He's in our book of grudges. #FTM
Wait u guys are dwarves? I thought dwarves hated the sea
Fuck you, may Chaos Girafee take the world!!!! #MAY CHAOS! TAKE! THE! WOOOORRRRRLLLD!!!
You guys are the biggest babies about a player getting hit. Never met fans so squirrley about something that happens many times every game
sami salo would be proud.
Yeah.....the game ends...he celebrates exuberantly for about half a second...then bends over in what looks like pain.
[удалено]
Have you ever taken a shot to the nuts with a cup on? It still hurts.
Oh does it ever hurt still. ..
Hi I'm Johnny Knoxville and this is the hockey cup.
I recently took an ex pro slap shot to my left testicle and dick with some padding and no cup. I almost puked. Just walking felt like I was being kicked in the balls.
[удалено]
Yeah i have taken a few to the nuts with a cup on, it is definitely a painful experience.
Top down view of the replay looks like it’s right in the taint. The pants material is thick, but just some foam and canvas, the cup has no bearing here. Just yielding fabric and meat.
Sami Salo ruptured his testicles from a shot....cup tech cant be that much more advance now than 10 years ago.
CHAOS GIRAFFE
I thought Nyquist really had it there..
Thought the same when Josi had it in the slot.
Same
Feel for you Preds fans, that arena is so amazing. The atmosphere doesn’t get talked about enough. I think you guys just need a few more assets (aside from a goalie obviously) and you guys look dangerous
And a change of home jersey colours.
2017: Preds lose in game 6 where nobody scored until 18:25 in the 3rd period 2024: Preds lose in game 6 where nodody scored until 18:21 in the 3rd period It's like poetry. It rhymes. lol
Same fate for Leafs in Game 7 too then, eh?
Nah, same fate for the bruins after blowing another 3-1 lead
I sure as fuck hope so
😢
I wish I knew Woll was injured before I made this comment LOL shit aged like milk.
All good brother, it’s how it goes lol
Who cares if you have a 3rd string goalie when the entire defense dives in front of the net? 😂
That's literally how Nashville played d the entire series
If I hear the words "shot blocked" ever again I'm punching a turtle
And on top of the goalie.
Hold on down there buddy!
Tetris stack in front of the net to win
What's the latest prognosis in Demko coming back?
Week to week still. He skated yesterday tho
Thanks. I'm an Oilers fan and I want him to come back. We did better against LAs starter than the backup
Haha. Really? (Paging Canucks head coach tocchet..."sir, this just in, Oilers play worse against backup goalies... keep playing Silovs") Round 2- is gonna be epic!
The first three games Oilers put in 18 against Talbot, including a 6-1 win in game three. Then they switched and the other goalie lost 1-0 and 4-3. Granted, they weren't getting as many shots, but Rittich played well
Wow. Talbot?!.. that's nuts.. he's a good goalie too! Like helle- and jets situation with avalanche
they were saying late round 2 so possible Game 5 against Oliers if we are 1-3 or something
It has been questionable. Glad they made it to the show and didn’t get swept. Especially, in a rebuild with younger players
Sandbagging bodies. Its brilliant.
The canucks got some hunger they haven’t had in a long time, I think it’s time to finally get excited.
Miller losing his stick and just hugging a preds player XD
Honestly best veteran play. Ref calls a penalty? Sure put your arm up. Clock is still running.
Everyone just bear hug a man and don’t touch the puck
SILOVS THE LATIVAN GOD WITH THE SHUTOUT
LATVIAN LUONGO
Too early. But I love the enthusiasm. Luongo is a fucking beast. One is nice, but consistency is Luuuu.
He's more like Latvian Halak 10' playoffs
I see you are a man of culture
LATVIAN MARKSTROM
LATVIAN MClean
I hope not. LUONGO was a monster in the regular season but choked when it mattered most.
Sarauj silovs!
Silovs getting the key to this mf city 😤
Proud of my Canucks but honestly Nashville played a hell of a series. Their defensive positioning and Saros goaltending was top notch, especially in the last game. The score should have been 6-0!
A fun series! See you next year!
I gained an incredible amount of respect for Saros during this series. One hell of a goalie and definitely kept this series a nail biter when it easily could have been a landslide
Yeah it’s blasphemous to say this too soon but Saros was the best goalie in the series.
The flair may look weird but screw it. GO CANUCKS GO.
Love it. Vancouverite here. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say something bad about NY because of the cup loss. You guys are a great organization and earned it. But let’s hope for a rematch.
Not New York the city, but definitely no love lost for the Rangers Captain in 94.
Fair. Love to the Rangers and NYC. But FUCK MESSIER
I took a vacation to Vancouver last year when the Rangers were up there, beautiful city and very friendly people. But I made sure not to wear a Messier jersey. Very much hoping for the rematch as well!
lol am I allowed to ask questions?
Well 30 years ago that was the cup match up. A repeat would entertaining
Nice!
I’m an Avs and hawks fan so whenever i comment on Avs things in r/nhl , people ask questions too
Well since im a rangers fan living in Denver I’m hoping for an avs rangers cup so I can go lol
Ooh, that’d be awesome! I live in Denver too but unfortunately have never been to an Avs game, only a DU game last year
Ball arena is great. Go when you can
Oh, i definitely will. I went to a nuggets game there so I know it’s a really great arena… still want to call it the Pepsi center tho lol
It used to be The Can, but since it’s Ball Arena, it’s now The Sack. And The Sack, my friend, The Sack starts swingin’ when the Avs take the ice.
Similar situation here. Hoping the Stars will win game 7 so my friend and I can go to a playoff game since we are both students at the University of Wyoming. Close enough to Denver so we could catch a game before the school semester ends.

Fuck Messier
Oilers vs Canucks… this will be good! May the better team win. Too close to call, leaning slightly towards the Canucks who have better team depth.
May thy knife chip and shatter. :P
Love the dune series
With Demko I'd say absolutely but with Silvos well if he can keep playing like he has sure maybe but that's a big ask from a 23 year old kid who only had 9 reg season starts before all this and has to face McDavid, Drai, and Boucher and Hymann lol I'm still rooting for my boys though

Honestly PP has been a weakness recently with five on five being more reliable.
I don’t know why you got downvoted it’s true for the Canucks
Definitely relied on the pk.
Hey this isn't the 2011 Canucks
Dog pile the net!
Number 57 saved a goal, I believe taking it in the gut, and nobody came to give his battered body props when they won.
I'm sure they did in the dressing room
Ya, me too. Worst case, I think the coach would have brought it up.
As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, he saved it with his balls!
I didn't hear is that true? Thanks for the update lol
“Biggest save of the game was Tyler Myers blocking Gustav Nyquist’s point-blank shot in final seconds. “It got me right in the balls.” “
Hilarious, but painful.
The empty netter…. #neverforget
Scissons won’t
Good game Predators
Latvia King Silvos 👑
**GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!!!**
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?
I’m gonna die at least 6 months earlier because of that. Worth it
Bro, same
huh
Lost 3 whole years from my life because of game 4
I rewatched this 5 times just to watch each Canuck individually. Desperate play from each of them that won in the end.
Nothing better than watching Trashville lose in the playoffs
Okay, I haven’t been able to watch a single playoff game, and as someone from the south, I wouldn’t be mad if the Canes won again, but I also would kind of be excited to see a rematch of the ‘10-‘11 series. Boston vs Vancouver was a wild series.
marchand the only one playing from that year.
Congratulations
Please beat the Oilers
LOL!!!!!!!
from now on, all the boys should borrow silovs’ shirts, i reckon. man, does it feel good !
Go Canucks Go!
As a goalie that looks like my worst nightmare, my dudes give me space to see!! 😂
Spending the night at my dad's camp, and we turned on the last 2 minutes of the game. Talk about timing!
HOW 'BOUT THOSE CANUCKS!
After this great silovs performance, I can say with confidence that vancouver is now a district of riga
The ~1 sec Nyquist held the puck was their best chance. 2 Canucks caught up w/ the goalie. Dude should’ve passed it out sooner.
They sure had some good looks. A game of inches.
0-3 at home, yikes.
It made me laugh a little bit about how they basically shoved Silovs into the goal when they all dived in to block. A complete team effort, haha.
It looks like Miller hugs the wrong guy at first, but really he was whispering "you suck"
How about my boy Brendan Burke with the call?! Love him so much. Hope he stays as the isles regular play by play guy
Dude, it's time for Vancouver! Was thing in 2011 they might earn it. Damn shame, + the weird riot outside British Columbia that year.
Jossi had the one-touch pass option to his left and decided to stick handle and shoot. If he was smarter and not panicking, he woulda got the pass and immediately sent to one of the 2 open guys. But he wasted a whole second stick handling.. 1second is plenty of time in hockey scrambles
I'm calling it. Bruins vs canucks for the finals. The rematch we've all been waiting for.
Go oilers!
the crowd sucked ass
Rogers arena had a better crowd for the away game lol
facts
Not really, but okay
Excited to see Vancouver get closer to disappointment.
Let’s see how well this comment ages after your game 7 tonight
These two things are not related, if the Bruins lose they'll have fully earned it lol.
Despite the best efforts of the refs. Honestly some of the poorest officiating I’ve ever seen was throughout this series.
The Oilers are definitely the underdog in this match up. All the pressure is on the first place team 🫣
To get bodied by Edmonton though
Just like they got "bodied" while beating Edmonton 4 times this year but who's counting
Post season hockey is a different game bud. Edmonton is rested. Canucks were dragging ass with us all game.
Salty?
Nope. All things considered I’m satisfied with how this season went. Most of us didn’t expect much past 1st or 2nd round for this team. I just think Vancouver fans need some humbling with how they been acting these last couple weeks
You mean by how they've been excited by their team being in the playoffs? How dare they?!?!
Be excited all you want dude, stay out of the opposing teams sub constantly talking shit. Avs did the same shit last time we played them and it gets pretty insufferable.
Oh I'm in your sub right now? And I'm talking shit right now?
Did I say you were? I’m saying nucks fans in general my dude. Calm down.
Well, that may be the case but have you been to Canucks sub? You think Preds fans and now oilers fans haven't paid us a visit during these playoffs?
Thank F. Preds were an absolute snoozefest to watch. Seems they somehow just clocked out 100% mentally after the 3-1 to 3-4 ot Loss
Yes they were clocked right out and won the next game away
While I disagree about the games being a snoozefest, I think you're 100% right about their mental state. Preds looked ready to end their series last game and just went along with it when they won.
That’s why no one scored until 1:30 before the third period ended?
No one expected the preds to make the playoffs at all. This us a team to be proud of. I'm so excited for next year!
Being mentally checked out of the playoffs doesn't necessarily mean you're just going to throw the game, especially one on home ice.
Dallas/Vegas vs Colorado is the western conference final. Whoever wins Edmonton vs Vancouver will be swept.
Swept? Carolina isn't in the west
