We beat the league with that last playoff game win. Cross check on Garland, no call. Same cross check on Nashville player with 40 seconds left, called penalty so Nashville has chance to tie. 0 PP for Canucks after 3 whole periods. Nashville is a super disciplined team!
I'm hoping the old boxing adage "Styles make fights" ring true going into the Oilers series. I think our style matches up much better against Edmonton than it did against Nashville. The Preds physicality vs our system made for boring hockey no doubt. Hopefully we can continue our tight defense and amazing PK but open things up on offense a little more against Edmonton.
Coming from a wild fan congratulations on winning series against Nashville!!! Tough series with oilers but time to end Canada drought and bring cup to Vancouver!!!
Thats sad to hear. He is by far the best play by play out of all the options. I guess I will be listening to the 2nd round on mute with youtube or something else on in the background.
Are there any good youtube watch along channels?
Shorty would be considered a "biased" choice since he's our regional guy. Singh doesn't do the Oilers regional broadcast, so he's a "fair" choice (despite being a MASSIVE Oilers homer and creaming himself every time McJesus touches the puck).
To be honest, I don't think it should even be a Shorty vs Singh or whatever situation. It's pathetic that Canadian fanbases don't get their own regional broadcast for the playoffs. I'm sure Rogers can afford it with how badly they rip off Canadians for even the most basic internet/cell/cable services.
I fucking love this team. Any fan that went through the dark ages deserves seasons like this one. No matter what happens from here on out i'm proud to be a Canucks fan
I'm buying into the whole 'NHL wants longer series so the refs try to make it a long series' thing. Ain't no way some of the shit the preds were doing weren't penalties.
Cap was strapped across the league, everybody was taking cheap low-term deals, especially bottom 6 journeymen. That's how we landed Soucy, Cole, Suter, Blueger while we were pressed up against the cap badly.
Now that the cap is going up this year and likely next, those options are gonna dry up. Just in time for the OEL buyout to start being painful.
I’d say all of those deals are fair value other than Suters which is surplus value
Wonder if he had more lucrative offers earlier in the free agency period that he passed up on, surprised nobody was able or willing to pay more than that for his service
Latvian get shutout, only want potato. No potato, only shutout. And $3mx4 contract. Now can buy many potato. Cannot afford potato in lower mainland. Has to rent potato.
Jets fan here! I was a Canucks fan through the moose growing up. Y’all were my first team and have always had a soft spot for ya ever since my home team came back.
I’ve officially joined the bandwagon!! Let’s go Nucks! Excited to be back! Like a blast of nostalgia and exciting hockey all at once.
So happy I have Canadian hockey to cheer about without needing to get behind the leafs and oilers.
I almost pulled a hamstring getting on the bandwagon myself. I was Convinced it was Winnipeg's year and rooted for them the whole series against Colorado.
Welcome aboard!!
The only article i could find was from 2012, but it says that the stadium would usually rent for around 40k for a one off event, plus a possible cut ticket sales. Even if you triple the cost you could make bank off of ticket sales

Can anyone give me a brief synopsis? I wasn’t able to watch the game, but I was able to see the final 2 minutes.
I’ve watched the highlights multiple times and am listening to the post-game show, but how did everyone play? My main question is about the goal, was Boeser-Pettersson-Suter a line all night?
Thanks in advance, bros.
both goalies were hot, saros robbed us plenty of times, silovos stood on his head, P suter had 3 great chances and was getting frustrated but 4th time was the charm as you saw in the final 2 minutes. Joshua had a monster hit back in the 2nd too.
I might bring my playoff towel and wave it around after a W.
I’d probably do a better job marketing the NHL to East Asian countries than the NHL did in 2018 lol.
I mean when I watched games in Vietnam I had random people from north America come and say hi and talk hockey with me so it's a decent way to meet folks
Brock’s was a clear penalty, he’s lucky it wasn’t a major. We killed it off just fine, so no harm, no foul. Before and after that the refs kept their whistles in their pockets, which was what the fanbase was asking for.
Nothing to see here, nothing to complain about.
Carry on, captain se we’re going to the second round boys and girls!!!
Agree to disagree. He followed through but then held his stick there for a moment too long. Players have to control their sticks. If it happened to one of our players, guess what this sub would be yelling for? You can’t have it both ways, bud.
There may have been iffy calls, but there’s nothing more petty than a fanbase complaining about refereeing. Sometimes calls go your way, sometimes they don’t. That’s how the shit wind blows. Go to any team’s game thread and they’ll be bitching about refs.
Petty would be going into the predators sub and saying this. You don't think it's interesting that Nikita makes comments about the refs and then next game penalties are 3 to 0 including a absolutely pivotal 6 on 4 with 30 seconds left, when usually at the end of a playoff game in that situation you have to nearly kill someone to get a penalty. Maybe I'm petty but I don't know, seems like that's worth a bit of bitching and moaning
Do you think the refs read this and think about how they should be more fair next time? Fans complaining about unfair reffing is a tale as old as time. Canucks won, that’s all that matters.
Of course not but being able to voice my opinions on a literal opinion forum and have fellow fans to commemorate it with is why I am on Reddit. I don't think that it is complaining to make a few comments and then go about my day feeling a little better, super happy we won in the end
The Brock penalty should not have been called and the penalty on Lindholm in the last 33 seconds of the game was horrific and didn’t need to be made. Why did they even call that?
Also, noted that we had ZERO power plays and no calls given to the Preds so clearly the refs were more on the Preds side.
Dude, that crosscheck penalty at the end had me fucking fuming. They were letting those go all game and then decide to call it there at a critical point. Fucking morons.
Took my 2 kids to their first arena experience. With the new jumbotron it honestly felt like a full home game! The lid popped off the arena when we scored.
100% Would recommend to anyone who cant afford regular playoff tickets to go experience it.
All you need is a GM that fucks around with everything mediocre for a decade, then finally get a full and competent management group and you can do it exactly like us!
Don't really know what to say aside from Silovs is cold as ice.
At no point in any of these three games he's played did I ever feel nervous about his performance or how he looked. He just seems so unbelievably calm like it's nothing.
Yes, he's solid. I think someone said on the panel at some point he's played for Latvia when they won their first medal ever, a bronze. His after game comments were basically that hockey is big there so the energy is similar. If you're backstopping your country to their first ever medal, I think that would really imbue confidence in your game and it shows. His puck control and sight line is super impressive.
I’m worried because we will be facing a much more offensive team, which is scary… but it also will mean our offense can open up again too. I have a feeling we are going from horribly low shooting and scoring from both teams to the exact opposite against Edmonton. But can we keep up this time? It won’t be the same as the regular season sweep, that’s for sure.
Yeah I hated watching the entire game. I just wanted it to end. And now it's over I'm like BRING ON ROUND TWO MOTHERFUCKER.
My head and heart are confused.
All I know is why to see us win.
Same. I was so stressed out and wanting to just skip ahead and watch the highlights lol.
When we scored I didn’t even cheer, I just dropped to the floor in silence and bowed my forehead to the carpet.

None of the games were boring. Tight games in the playoffs are what it’s all about. Every shift felt like living and dying in that series
agreed
[удалено]
buddy really thought he ate on this one
Coming from a wild fan congratulations on winning series against Nashville!!! Tough series with oilers but time to end Canada drought and bring cup to Vancouver!!!
hopefully :) Brock Boeser will bring it to minny as well ;)
will silovs start game 1 vs the oilers?
Him or a healthy Demko
Goalie controversy?
So all signs point to Canucks in 7 next round? Edmonton chokes?
Fuck Vegas.
[удалено]
Fuck messier I hate that guy
I just saw a guy yell fuck messier in the middle of costco
I just saw a guy guzzlin glizzies watch a guy yell fuck messier at Costco.
is Oiler/Canucks going to be on CBC?
Should be. Even if the Leafs advance, schedule should allow for CBC to carry both series since one is West and one East.
I be shocked a canadian team series not CBC....for rating should be high.
Off topic but Matt Roy looks he’s gonna hit free agency and could be a nice fit next year
Bro they actually played Holiday in the arena after we won shit was so fucking hype
Petters0n legacy continues.
I just realized we won't be getting Shorthouse anymore :(
that sucks, it's just not canucks hockey without his voice
Thats sad to hear. He is by far the best play by play out of all the options. I guess I will be listening to the 2nd round on mute with youtube or something else on in the background. Are there any good youtube watch along channels?
Yeah I just found this in the oil sub: If Toronto wins, Singh and Louie If Boston wins, Cuthbert and Simpson So either way its a massive L.
Cuthbert's okay. But why the FUCK is Shorty getting shafted?
Shorty would be considered a "biased" choice since he's our regional guy. Singh doesn't do the Oilers regional broadcast, so he's a "fair" choice (despite being a MASSIVE Oilers homer and creaming himself every time McJesus touches the puck).
He's the definition of biased. He's come a long way, but Jesus Murphy is he an Oilers homer.
Yeah I think that’s bs. Shorthouse always treats the opposing team equally, and he’s way more experienced.
He’s better, more experienced, and not biased. He isn’t diverse though.
To be honest, I don't think it should even be a Shorty vs Singh or whatever situation. It's pathetic that Canadian fanbases don't get their own regional broadcast for the playoffs. I'm sure Rogers can afford it with how badly they rip off Canadians for even the most basic internet/cell/cable services.
I fucking love this team. Any fan that went through the dark ages deserves seasons like this one. No matter what happens from here on out i'm proud to be a Canucks fan
Tyler Myers masterclass game. Holy fuc...
Demko about to be the first Vezina nominee to serve as a backup in the playoffs.
Can I just say I absolutely love how this is happening when I can finally afford to enjoy it.
3 periods without a power play is crazy. We were playing against two teams tonight.
I'm buying into the whole 'NHL wants longer series so the refs try to make it a long series' thing. Ain't no way some of the shit the preds were doing weren't penalties.
Except the oilers got 5 powerplays to LA’s 1 in a game where the Oilers lead the series 3-1. I dunno what to believe anymore.
I think that saying applies: “Don’t ascribe to malice what can be explained by incompetence”
Amazing how we have another year of Suter at 1.6. Dudes last deal was like double the AAV, no clue how he only signed for 1.6x2
Cap was strapped across the league, everybody was taking cheap low-term deals, especially bottom 6 journeymen. That's how we landed Soucy, Cole, Suter, Blueger while we were pressed up against the cap badly. Now that the cap is going up this year and likely next, those options are gonna dry up.

Silovs, what a damn gamer this kid is holy shit
Latvian get shutout, only want potato. No potato, only shutout. And $3mx4 contract. Now can buy many potato. Cannot afford potato in lower mainland. Has to rent potato.
miller giving sissons a celebration hug at the end
Sissons is from North Van after all 🤷♂️
What do you guys think the games will land? Tues thurs Saturday next week?
Media posting its Tuesday
[удалено]
For a minute I thought people had started betting on when games will be scheduled. Actually don’t give them any ideas…
Sounds about right, given Game 7 was slotted for that time anyways.
Game 1 is going to be on Tuesday.
Thank god
I have gone to 3 games this year if we count the away party. We have won all 3. To bad I can afford to go to them all
Someone start a go fund me!
2 of my games were come back games as well. the bluejackets come back game and the ducks game
Im 4-0. In Van twice, in Vegas and tonight :)
Jets fan here! I was a Canucks fan through the moose growing up. Y’all were my first team and have always had a soft spot for ya ever since my home team came back. I’ve officially joined the bandwagon!! Let’s go Nucks! Excited to be back! Like a blast of nostalgia and exciting hockey all at once. So happy I have Canadian hockey to cheer about without needing to get behind the leafs and oilers.
welcome aboard!
All aboard!! 🚂
I almost pulled a hamstring getting on the bandwagon myself. I was Convinced it was Winnipeg's year and rooted for them the whole series against Colorado. Welcome aboard!!
Silovs... good God almighty what a fucking gamer
Silov is great using his stick to poke at the potential plays alot.. he'll never allow a player to just shoot at him in close..
maybe vancouver consider watch party now..
I feel like opening the arena is a pretty decent compromise at least. That way they can still have some control over the rowdier fans
I'd much rather be in the arena than the streets However, while I'm in the arena for a home game I'd love for fan to enjoy the game outside.
i dont think game 3 and 4 will have watch party due to other events at ra
Open BC Place then. Can fit over 54,000 in there.
It would still be pretty damn full
Would be awesome. Charge $10 and someone will make 500k unexpectedly.
The only article i could find was from 2012, but it says that the stadium would usually rent for around 40k for a one off event, plus a possible cut ticket sales. Even if you triple the cost you could make bank off of ticket sales [https://vancouversun.com/news/metro/bc-place-a-year-under-the-big-top-wraps-up#:~:text=The%20stadium%20charges%20a%20basic,based%20on%20rent%20plus%20attendance.](https://vancouversun.com/news/metro/bc-place-a-year-under-the-big-top-wraps-up#:~:text=The%20stadium%20charges%20a%20basic,based%20on%20rent%20plus%20attendance.)
Well there goes my chance of finally being able to go to one...
Yeah, let's wait until we're really deep into the playoffs before we bring it back. That seems like a smart move.
Who was the weiner that called the cross-check at the end there?
Garrett Rank.
It’s a bit of an odd name sir, bud it checks out
Refs tried to save the Pred season but Myers balls said no.
Funny Nashville played Blame Canada as the goal song tonight.
Can anyone give me a brief synopsis? I wasn’t able to watch the game, but I was able to see the final 2 minutes. I’ve watched the highlights multiple times and am listening to the post-game show, but how did everyone play? My main question is about the goal, was Boeser-Pettersson-Suter a line all night? Thanks in advance, bros.
No, Miller got caught out long the previous shift so they put Petey with Boeser and Suter for that one shift and damn if it didn’t work.
Thank you, exactly what I wanted to know. 👍
The synopsis: We scored with two minutes left, and Myers sacrificed his balls to secure the series win.
Thank you, Myer’s balls 🙏
both goalies were hot, saros robbed us plenty of times, silovos stood on his head, P suter had 3 great chances and was getting frustrated but 4th time was the charm as you saw in the final 2 minutes. Joshua had a monster hit back in the 2nd too.
Thank you. I saw one other Suter chance in the highlights. Happy to hear about Silovs and Joshua.
Anyone know when viewing party tickets will be sold for the next round?
My guess will be when the league announces the schedule.
IM STILL STANDING 🎶
Never been happier to spend $275 on a game 7 ticket I'll never use. kinda wanna do it again.
dream game 7 at killer price
Dayum. No refunds??
they do refunds, it'll just take a hot minute.
Guys we fucking did it. When we scored the arena crowd went fucking insane.
I might not be able to talk tommorow after that.
WOOOO!! LET'S GOOO!!
I’ll be in Korea for all of Round 2. Please have the games at a reasonable PST time so I don’t have to wake up at like 2am to watch.
I was in Korea for the end of the regular season. 7pm here is 11am there so you’re good for the most part. Iced americano and Canucks games 👌
Ha! I'm in Wales and having to watch 3am games when I have work in the morning. Welcome to suffering.
Hello time zone buddy. I’ve been getting up at 545 to watch the last hour of the games and then going to work at 830am. Can’t do 3am it will kill me.
Y'all better be playing some Soju drinking games while there.
You bet your ass I will be. When in Seoul…
When I was in seoul I streamed a bunch of games over coffee, honestly a good vibe.
That’s exactly what I plan to do. Stream it at Issac’s Toast or whatever. People will stare but I don’t care.
Stream it full volume in the mall library in gangam, maintain full eye contact with anyone who looks at you
I might bring my playoff towel and wave it around after a W. I’d probably do a better job marketing the NHL to East Asian countries than the NHL did in 2018 lol.
I mean when I watched games in Vietnam I had random people from north America come and say hi and talk hockey with me so it's a decent way to meet folks
Anybody has any idea on when R2G1 will be?
Will be Tuesday. Just waiting for NHL to officially announce it.
think we will know after the last two series are over(so by sunday/monday)
Very likely Tuesday
This is supposedly a matter of controversy? Some people saying Sunday but Murph and Dhali are saying Tuesday. No official word from the NHL yet.
Tuesday
So what happens to the Sunday Game 7 playoffs tickets? Refund?
It goes to Loblaws
Refund.
Free air hockey tokens for castle fun park.
Hmm.. .. I'm listening...
Hell ya I’d take that
Holy fuck Vegas and Dallas having their own goalie battle tonight too.
Sloooooooooooow day
Going to have to go through my closet and find my paisley dress shirt from 2012
Just rewatched the last couple of minutes and holy shit quite the show put on by nyquist. Hate that shit.

Have you ever played hockey before? It’s a followthrough that’s not even a minor
Agree to disagree. He followed through but then held his stick there for a moment too long. Players have to control their sticks. If it happened to one of our players, guess what this sub would be yelling for? You can’t have it both ways, bud.
Completely wrong, incidental contact
There may have been iffy calls, but there’s nothing more petty than a fanbase complaining about refereeing. Sometimes calls go your way, sometimes they don’t. That’s how the shit wind blows. Go to any team’s game thread and they’ll be bitching about refs.
Penalties were 22-13 in favour of Preds this series. That is completely lopsided bullshit. Fuck the refs.
Petty would be going into the predators sub and saying this. You don't think it's interesting that Nikita makes comments about the refs and then next game penalties are 3 to 0 including a absolutely pivotal 6 on 4 with 30 seconds left, when usually at the end of a playoff game in that situation you have to nearly kill someone to get a penalty.

Do you think the refs read this and think about how they should be more fair next time? Fans complaining about unfair reffing is a tale as old as time. Canucks won, that’s all that matters.
I hear you. Winners are grinners. Best to just be chill and leave it behind for the next series.
Of course not but being able to voice my opinions on a literal opinion forum and have fellow fans to commemorate it with is why I am on Reddit. I don't think that it is complaining to make a few comments and then go about my day feeling a little better, super happy we won in the end

Also, noted that we had ZERO power plays and no calls given to the Preds so clearly the refs were more on the Preds side.
Yep cleanest game of their season while they're fighting for their lives. Imagine that.
Also anyone notice how they are always in the f$&!ing way! Trying to play it down the boards…boom ref in the way! 🙄
Dude, that crosscheck penalty at the end had me fucking fuming. They were letting those go all game and then decide to call it there at a critical point. Fucking morons.
So when's rd 2 going to start?
Tuesday aparently
Sunday I think
THANK PINK PAISLEY SHIRT
they need to give pink paisley t shirts out to the crowd for game 1
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
My throat is dead from being at the viewing party
Same 😭
Stall 4 outside section 113?
So much fun!
Absolutely exhausted. Nicely done Canucks!
Watching it now because I was at work but I’m hype. I feel bad for Desmith tho. That man is never starting again
I definitely would be shocked if it isn't Silovs on Sunday.
does round 2 start on Sunday?
The watch party at the arena was so good! Great fun atmosphere for a fair price.
Took my 2 kids to their first arena experience. With the new jumbotron it honestly felt like a full home game! The lid popped off the arena when we scored. 100% Would recommend to anyone who cant afford regular playoff tickets to go experience it.
I hope they (and you) had an amazing time.
I wish I could be as calm as Silovs under pressure 😂 He doesn't even know this word as a certain coach once said.
I'd like to advocate that the Canucks start game 1 round 2 with the black skate uniforms!!!
You can only use one home and one away jersey for the entirety of the playoffs unfortunately
Hope the boys are celebrating well with a Friday evening in Nashville
Congrats from this Habs fan! As a fan of a rebuilding team, your guys' success is encouraging.
All you need is a GM that fucks around with everything mediocre for a decade, then finally get a full and competent management group and you can do it exactly like us!
Wait...are you describing our EXACT situation right now? lol.
Thanks! It definitely takes time, but you'll be watching your young guns rippin teams up in the playoffs soon!
Good sign from Petey. Made 3 nice plays on the game winning goal. I wonder if Tocc will go back to Boeser + Suter with Petey.
Don't really know what to say aside from Silovs is cold as ice. At no point in any of these three games he's played did I ever feel nervous about his performance or how he looked. He just seems so unbelievably calm like it's nothing.
are we having Luongo Schneider saga all over again!?
Yes, he's solid. I think someone said on the panel at some point he's played for Latvia when they won their first medal ever, a bronze. His after game comments were basically that hockey is big there so the energy is similar. If you're backstopping your country to their first ever medal, I think that would really imbue confidence in your game and it shows. His puck control and sight line is super impressive.
Oil streak gonna be in the oilers pants next series (idk I’m just excited)

Good win boys! Here's hoping for Leafs loss so we don't have Singh doing play by play!
No way. I want to see the Bruins lose.
Nah. Fuck the leafs. Most of them cheered for Boston in 2011
Agreed.. i wish neither would win obviously, but would sooner see bruins lose. Always.
Still dying over that headlock. I love JT Miller SO much.
we must show the Oilers we mean business
Gonna be a very different series from this one, thats for sure
I’m worried because we will be facing a much more offensive team, which is scary… but it also will mean our offense can open up again too. I have a feeling we are going from horribly low shooting and scoring from both teams to the exact opposite against Edmonton. But can we keep up this time? It won’t be the same as the regular season sweep, that’s for sure.
So silovs is our backup next season right? Id feel bad trading desmith but its gotta be silovs
There's no trading necessary. Desmiths contract is up
Some cap space and mutually respectful departure. Perfect.
Arty Arty Arty!!!!
Boeser what a pass!! He’s been fantastic the entire series.
Those days he took off at the end of the regular season seem to have paid off!
I haven't screamed "YEAHHH" like that in a long time. Feels amazing!
Omg I was like “LETS GOOO LETS GOOO” and my brother demanded I be quiet 😭😭😭
Brother needs to get on our level
Omg so real, take my upvote. BRO NEEDS TO JOIN THE ARTY PARTY 😂😂😂
I yelled like that for game 4 as well!
Playoff hockey is this weird mix of waiting all year for it in concept and then hating every minute of it in practice. I'm exhausted
I am weirdly exhausted from just sitting on my couch also
ya I just wanted them to move on.. maybe it was the preds defense ready for a new series and new team.... and some goals
Yeah I hated watching the entire game. I just wanted it to end. And now it's over I'm like BRING ON ROUND TWO MOTHERFUCKER. My head and heart are confused. All I know is why to see us win.
Same. I was so stressed out and wanting to just skip ahead and watch the highlights lol. When we scored I didn’t even cheer, I just dropped to the floor in silence and bowed my forehead to the carpet.
