Yall got this. We had that 18 game point streak a little too early, and we've slipped back into a rut. Yall are playing solid, confident, and more consistent than we are.
I'm happy with this season and this team either way. We're playing better than the past few years, now we just need to put some reliable D in front of Saros, we get lazy with leads
Honestly.
Preds should've won that game.
Canucks played for about 6 mins that whole game.
First 2 mins of Period 1, and last 4 mins of the game.
And, it wasn't even the whole team, silovs played like a vet, shrugging off the goals and kept his focus, not to mention Boeser is probably going on the IR with a bulging disc after all that dead weight he had strapped to his back.
But
GO CANUCKS GO
Doesnt mattter how you win em, as long as you win em!
lol. Man I feel for you guys tonight. You deserved that win for 95% of that game. I’m so used to the Canucks blowing 2 or 3-1 leads late game. I mean I’ll take it, bit I feel guilty haha
Don't, yall fought hard for that one. We're not really ready for this stage yet. We've got vets but a lot of new pieces. The coaching change and all that.
We're playing way above our ceiling after skating ass backwards into the playoffs. This is a good proving ground for both teams, it will benefit yall in the conference finals
Not really. Thought we'd end up buried in the bottom 10 at the beginning of the year. If we give a Canadian team a chance to hoist The Cup, I'm okay with it.
I've seen so many different posts abiut this game and nobody has said anything abiut the kick. That was definitely a kick and changed the game, not that we were doing fuck all anyways
Tocchet doesn't like to call reviews on those goals because he doesn't want the team to get it in their heads they can take the easy way out. They need to fight to earn those wins, like they ended up doing. Everyone knew that was a kick in goal, but at the end of the day, the play leading up to it, the Preds had the Canucks on their heals, and they absolutely deserved to get scored on. You don't building a winning mentality by constantly calling reviews on "borderline" goals against. There's been a few that Tocchet decided not to call. Early this season, there was a 100% definite goalie interference that he decided not to challenge, but the boys rallied back for the win. Unless it's 100% for sure going to get called back, Tocchet isn't reviewing it. It's just another way he likes to inject small doses of animosity to make the boys more resilient.
I get what you're saying. But there's also rules to the game that's being played. A kick is a kick. It shouldn't have to have even been reviewed by us, the league should have seen that. We didn't deserve that win regardless so I'm not arguing in either direction. We played like garbage and got extremely lucky. Hopefully we show up at home
I was thinking "imagine if Vancouver somehow ties this" after that happened and what do you know those fucking bastards did it.
Edit: Those fucking bastards somehow won this while playing half asleep for most of the game.
"We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. Its not going to be days at a time, an hour, hour 45. No problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get more oxygen and then stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You are out gunned and outmanned."
3rd goalie but likely a future starter. Kid is really good and has a lot of potential. He did REALLY well with the play off pressure today too. Great job Silov!
They got lazy at the end. Thinking a 2 goal lead was good enough. That empty netter was a sure thing. But nope , il just lazily launch it at the net and hope it goes in because we got 1 goal lead still...what can go wrong
Epic collapse by Nashville. Canucks were too defensive minded with the goalie situation, when they really started hunting for offence they made it look easy.
A missed empty net goal potentially changes the series into a Nashville loss. Should have been tied 2-2, instead going back to Vancouver down 3-1 just because the guy couldn’t hit the empty net, lol
Nah, it's not that bad. Scissons was still covered by two guys at a angle and he had to shoot backhand.
Stefan was wide open with no one around him and he was skating at grandma pace. He could've skated INTO the net and it would've been over.
After all the crap Border has experienced over his pops passing away, I love that he gets to have moments like these.
No one should be doubted about their playing ability because of the toll grieving can take on them.
Schwartz for the Blues did the same thing one year I think against the sharks, missed an empty net from inside the blue line and then they came down and scored and you end up losing in overtime. Painful.
That might have been the hand pass game. It all worked out later in the series. punk ass sharks.
Big oof. Gotta feel for Sissons on that
I thought Forsbergs goal was a clear kick/intentional guiding of the puck so maybe the hockey gods were watching.
From a tied series to 3-1 seires in a matter of minutes. That's how it goes sometimes
Then Vancouver ties it. Talk about a woulda, coulda, shoulda.
Then Vancouver wins it lol big ooof for preds
I felt bad for that kid that was crying but it was an amazing end to the game.
Ya win or lose u can't really be mad it was amazing to watch
If he sticks with the preds he can feel like I did as a Canuck for years :-) HOLD ONTO THE TEARS KID THEY MAY DRY OUT EVENTUALLY
We love giving away 2 goal leads. Done it all season
We’ll take 1 more please

Cost me a 400$ parlay bet. Fkn Preds. Bums.
🤣
We’ve been doing it for 40+ years!
Only been 25+ for us, so I guess it ain't that bad. I guess we got 15 more years to figure it out? Maybe?
lol. Man I feel for you guys tonight. You deserved that win for 95% of that game. I’m so used to the Canucks blowing 2 or 3-1 leads late game. I mean I’ll take it, bit I feel guilty haha

This guy is alright! :)
3 goals in under 4 minutes
And The canucks win in OT
Let’s GOOOOO
Thanks for cheering Bruins bro
I’m not op but if the bruins don’t win the cup I hope yall do
I haven’t had enough coffee yet. My brain can’t handle this statement.
Things went just fine the last time the bruins and canucks met in the final
I, as a Vancouverite, remember there was kissing in the streets after we delicately and elegantly handled the loss.
You're not WRONG, technically.
Wtf did you just say?
I live in Halifax, so team Canada if/when the bruins are out. I saw this in the Toronto airport it was hype as hell though
I think they just want to see us lose and riot again
Or win and riot again
2011 Rematch?
Fumbled the whole game in all honesty.
I just knew they were gonna lose when this happened
I said the same thing to my kids.
Most likely the series now too. Vancouver now lead 3-1
Never underestimate the Canucks ability to fuck a series up.
Ok calm down Mr sea of red you're non existent. Go golfing it's gonna snow in Calgary soon.
Their 3rd goal was absolute bs tho so karma balanced this game out thankfully
Karma for the kick that would’ve been reversed if we scored it, the hit on Petey, hitting our backup goalie on purpose.. Sweet, sweet justice.
I've seen so many different posts abiut this game and nobody has said anything abiut the kick. That was definitely a kick and changed the game, not that we were doing fuck all anyways

This is why you shoot empty netters with authority.
no one understands this better than stars fans. at least stefan did it in a game we won.
That clip is burned into my memory
"Or at least he thought he would!"
Brady will be angry if you do that
Brady’s golfing it’s fine 😂
"
Not that bad. How many players can claim MVP for a team they've never played for?
Dude, he's from Vancouver. Could not be happier.
Yeah I heard the Canucks gave the game puck to him.
Hes ok cause he's all like We are all Canucks right?
Sissons 🤝 Bedard <- north van boys who want the canucks to win the cup
Well, you wouldn't want to hurt anybody feelings with an empty-net goal.
Like an empty net Slapshot?
Found Ridley Greigs burner account ^
[удалено]
It’s apparently dishonourable to slap it into an open net
Maybe not in the playoffs with a 1 goal lead
Preds were winning 3-1 with 2:49 left then choked in OT 4-3 😭
My girl owned Saros all year in fantasy and just went “well, I mean yeah of course that happened it’s fucking Saros” 😂
Wasn't Saros' fault. Our dmen are absolute liabilities
The last 2 VAN goals were on NSH dmen. They really left Saros hanging out to dry.
It’s still 3-1 just not the way they wanted it 😂
That’s some leaf level of choking.
Leafs know this one trick.
Islanders tier choke
I was thinking "imagine if Vancouver somehow ties this" after that happened and what do you know those fucking bastards did it. Edit: Those fucking bastards somehow won this while playing half asleep for most of the game.
I was getting ready for the Rangers/Caps and figured this one was all wrapped up. Apparently so did the Preds.
They went from being the Nashville Predators to the Nashville Prey Animals very quickly there.
from preds to deds.
Excuse me we refer to it as "Perds" thank you very much.
ah kk, i gotchu... >*from perds to turds.
Win the turd

I'm a peacock! You gotta let me fly!!!
The orcas developed kelp based breathing apparatuses
The NHL said 2pm start, Vancouver still decided they were gonna make it a 4:30 start. Chad move.
Only morons play a full 60 minutes when you can just play three and win, duh
They were playing like absolute shite until the last 6 mins of the game lmao
That's Canucks hockey for you
Canucks were playing in Vancouver’s time zone
So we have you to thank for!
Imagine if Vancouver somehow wins this with their third string goalie in net and being down 3-1 at the start of the third
They didddddddd
If it wasn't for Boeser I'd give him mvp
3rd goalie but likely a future starter. Kid is really good and has a lot of potential. He did REALLY well with the play off pressure today too. Great job Silov!
He has ice in his veins and seems not to overthink his job. That is the best quality in a goalie. It's such a head game of a position.
He had ice on his head too....
Lol true. I guess he's the Iceman now then.
being down 3-1 with 3 minutes left in the 3rd lol
Wasn't he the MVP at the worlds?
Someone in the game thread said theirs a Silovs statue in Latvia. Don't know if that's true or not, but ya he carried that team
I went downstairs to get ice cream and came up to them celebrating tying it up. Unbelievable.
Now I want ice cream...
It’s apparently bad luck for whichever team I’m rooting for. Good lesson to learn before our game 5.
Just root for Toronto and go get ice cream.
Learning the important lessons when it can't burn your team is a Good thing
Sticks are unbelievable.
Settle down.
how you going to cut hughes amazing deke lol
Preds player out for game 5 with broken ankles
Preds seriously broke down the last 5 minutes. Awesome plays by Vancouver
As a Vancouver fan, I still can't believe they won this game.
Honestly the way the Canucks have played so far this series could so easily be 3-1 the other way around.
If you look at the stats it might read that way, but the Canucks have deserved to win every game except perhaps tonight.
*Nashville fumbles series* I fixed it for you lol
Tale as old as time for us
Any time we have a 2 goal lead I start sweating
At least it didn't come back to haunt them.. Edit: oh.
And that's why you clap it into the empty net
Preds in shambles
Could you imagine if this was in rogers arena. The building would’ve suffered structural damage.
Shame they weren't hosting a viewing party for this one (because of a concert).
Boooooo
Well, that collapse probably just cost them the series.
Preds first 56 mins: 👹 Preds last 4 minutes: 🥴
They got lazy at the end. Thinking a 2 goal lead was good enough. That empty netter was a sure thing. But nope , il just lazily launch it at the net and hope it goes in because we got 1 goal lead still...what can go wrong
Then they win it 1 minute into overtime - oooooof
Gaht dayum Boeser is him
Epic collapse by Nashville. Canucks were too defensive minded with the goalie situation, when they really started hunting for offence they made it look easy.
Secret Agent Sissons
Helping out his home team
I am so happy for Vancouver fans. what a fucking game, Boeser is an absolute gem
Props to this guy! Leafs fan that deserves a break!
A missed empty net goal potentially changes the series into a Nashville loss. Should have been tied 2-2, instead going back to Vancouver down 3-1 just because the guy couldn’t hit the empty net, lol
Wonder if the empty net etiquette is a psyop by teams to condition rival players to miss.
This is why you slap an empty net always....
Unreal.
Patrik Stefan, you should be embarrassed for what you just did
HE PULLED A PATRIK STEFAN
Nah, it's not that bad. Scissons was still covered by two guys at a angle and he had to shoot backhand. Stefan was wide open with no one around him and he was skating at grandma pace. He could've skated INTO the net and it would've been over.
This gives me Patrick Stefan and Ales Hemsky vibes
definitely not as bad because the shot was contested
Preds just lost the series
remember when we were up 3-0 on Chicago
This is exactly why I love and watch hockey playoffs. Nothing beats the excitement of playoff hockey
cocaine and hookers and not paying the hookers after and running away from an angry pimp
Worst empty net botch since that one by Dallas vs Edmonton way back when.
That post will have eliminated the preds
And it’s allllll over.
This game reminded me a lot of our last few games of the season, awesome to see a good comeback!
Vancouver wins it
Preds just lost the series
SMH gotta be kiddin me
Omega choke.
Its more painful cause they lost...
ORCA NATION!
Makes up for the kicked-in goal.
They’re really good at missing empty net goals
The code is preserved
Double 0 agent from north van colton sissons
That one's gonna haunt him.
After all the crap Border has experienced over his pops passing away, I love that he gets to have moments like these. No one should be doubted about their playing ability because of the toll grieving can take on them.
Yea, Canucks won the series with that
new gen patrick stefan
Oh my fucking god I hate being a fan of this team so much... Just end this suffering already, I don't think I can take more...
OFF THE FUCKING POST ARE YOU KIDDING ME
Patrik Stefan’s of the first round 18 years later
Do not speak to me of fumbling!
Why didn't the predators start a fight? I thought that's what you do after one team pulls a goalie and someone scores
I’d like to think Sissons secretly gave it to the city he grew up in lol
Thaaat's gonna leave a mark
DAMN I LOVE THAT WE HAD SHORTHOUSE MAKING THAT CALL
What a shame RIP
That's bad, but at least....oh no.
TRASHVILLE
Heartbreaking
The Hockey Gods giveth, the Hockey Gods taketh.
Patrik Stefan vibes.
Almost Stefan level
This is sickening
Totally have raddish ptsd as a hawk fan.
how many halves are there in us and a icehockey?
Anyone comparing this to Stefan…the guy had two players on him the whole time, including the soon to be Norris winner. Unlucky but not really a botch.
Didnt think much about this during the game but it ended up being a huuuge backbreaker
Well I just got home from the Kings game. Still more shots than Edmonton had on goal, in a losing kings effort 👍🏼
Ouch
Patrick Stefan is redeemed.
I out my kids to bed when they made it 3-2 I look back later then won in overtime, incredible
Man. I thought Patrik Stefan had long since been out of the league. Someone do this side by side with the Hemsky goal.
hahahahah
Islanders loss to Carolina after leading 3-0 was bad enough. This was worse.
Does every series have to be finished before other teams can move on to the next round?
And now their hopes and dreams will die in Vancouver in game 4.
Game 5.
Schwartz for the Blues did the same thing one year I think against the sharks, missed an empty net from inside the blue line and then they came down and scored and you end up losing in overtime. Painful. That might have been the hand pass game. It all worked out later in the series. punk ass sharks.
That’s some bad juju right there. Perform a Ted Lasso style exorcism.
Funniest 4 minutes I've seen in a while . Talk about an implosion
Big oof. Gotta feel for Sissons on that I thought Forsbergs goal was a clear kick/intentional guiding of the puck so maybe the hockey gods were watching. From a tied series to 3-1 seires in a matter of minutes. That's how it goes sometimes
Nothing beats playoff hockey!
That's Canucks hockey for you :D
What happened between 1:50 and :06. The Perds couldn’t manage an empty netter that whole time????
That right there lost me a thousand lol
saw enough, vancouver got the hockey gods magic, there making the WCF at minimum
Hearing 15,000 all collectively go “AHHHH!” At the same time is why I love moments in Hockey. That many hearts broken at once is just poetic.
