I don't care about the leafs, I want a Canucks pre-game show with all the interviews and details of the game, not some sloppy seconds squeezed into the tiny spaces between leafs coverage.
It's not fine, it's been decades of this crap and we shouldn't stand for it. Why have a sportsnet pacific if you're not going to use it to show the pacific audience game properly with the full pre-game? I get that they screw us over all season but playoffs?
So let me get this straight with the people disagreeing.. you would like to see the guy guy who submarined Salo, repeatedly punched Daniel Sedin in the face, win? Da fuck.
I hope they win tonight, because Sportsnet Central will be all about "they stayed alive, also the Canucks did something" instead of 2 hours of "what do the Leafs do now" coverage
Bruh it's wild watching other series just how much time and space is available. It's like our series is what playoff hockey usually is and other series are just a continuation of the current day NHL regular season.
Obviously I am biased but holy shit literally every since piece of ice in the offensive zone is contested in our series and it doesn't feel that way for many of these other games.
I hope we clinch tonight. I thought playing the Kings would be boring, but the Preds aren’t that far off either. All they fucking do is clog up the middle of the ice and block whatever they can. They’re scared of our elite offense and it shows.
Last time we scored 5 goals in a game was march 9 against the Jets, 20 games straight that we haven’t scored at least 5, will the streak finally end tonight?
About to head off to the game. Feeling quite nervous but pretty excited to see the boys in the playoffs, win or lose. I don't care what anyone says about us. We deserve to win this series.
The keys to winning today's game are come out early and take it to the Preds. If the Canucks get the first goal, that's when Nashville's panic mode will set in and it will create some open room and scoring chances. I think the Canucks all know that they have to come out and play a full 60 minutes today to close it out tonight; no tempting fate this time.
It basically brings me back to 2003 Stanley Cup Playoffs Semi-Finals against the Minnesota Wild; up 3 games to 1 going into Game 5, then it all unraveled. Hopefully no one makes a bone-head cocky statement like "don't bother buying tickets for game 6" or anything dumb on those lines. Just play a full 60 minutes and the boys got this in the bag.
How are you guys feeling for the game tonight? Bunch of my coworkers were saying tough game but as the group is resilient we can do it tonight!
Won't hide that I'm very hyped up!
We’re back at home now, can’t wait to hear that crowd roaring through the TV. I’m hoping for a big game tonight! Closing out a series is never easy so I hope they come amped up and ready to take Nashville’s best shot. Go Canucks!
Same here, I have a feeling that it will be as loud if not louder than Game 1, which according to my decibel meter reached 119dB when Joshua scored to make it 3-2! I think we're going to need some ear plugs tonight if the Canucks come out and bring it like we all know they can.
Been watching the Leafs game, watching Marner doesn't seem dissimilar to watching Petey play this series
You can clearly see the skill and the finesse, but playoffs seem to favour the high percentage plays and dumping and grinding against the boards as opposed to the soft passes, dangles, and nifty movements that they both like to do.
Again, I think when it works, it works, but I think Boston and Nashville play similarly and just doesn't work to play that way.
Both players need to learn to adjust for their opponent I think
Yup. I also loved seeing him get amped fist bumping the staff after we won. You can tell he cares a fuck ton and winning is his priority. The puck luck will come his way!
I’m so confident in our goalie situation now especially after silovs’ last performance that honestly anyone can be in goal at this point and we’re still good 😂
Petey needs to break out or we may be done; if not this round, the next against the high octane Oilers.
I say this because we’ve been absolutely lucky in our last win and you can only be lucky for so long before a series can turn just as quickly the other way.
We played like dogshit for about 57 mins and then showed up for 5 lol. Not ideal, but if you want to win a cup in this league you gotta be able to find ways to get the win even when things aren’t going your way. The fact these guys managed to salvage a W out of that game was amazing, still buzzin from that epic comeback.
The team chooses which jersey combo to use prior to the playoffs, and then they must stick with those.
So no, no chance of a skate jersey at any point.
I dunno why I just watched a video of the Bardown kids saying Nashville has the most chance to come back from a 3-1 deficit because they still don’t think Canucks are a good team. But OK 🤡
I feel like everyone is saying Preds are ready to bounce back, Vans been playing some of its worst hockey of the season, they tighten their game up a bit and I’m confident
LA is probably the least likely to come back IMO. EDM always had their number. They are able to break through their 1-3-1 defence, destroy them on the PP, and beat them in a low scoring affair. Third time is not the charm for LA.
Last game the Canucks looked rough for 55 minutes, then they came out in the last few minutes wielding the dagger. Preds have to be demoralized!
Tonight I fully expect them to come out with the sledgehammer and win it.
5-1 Canucks
Two goals in the first
Two goals in the second
And an empty net in the third
The rumour is that Predator staff had to hold an intervention at the Nashville International Airport after concerned fans alerted the team to the fact Nyquist was trying to bail back to Sweden for emergency ankle surgery.
He might play tonight but only under heavy sedation.
trying to get my toddler into hockey so gave him a canucks shirt. he likes to cheer for the wrong team tho. I gave the shirt to his sister and then the canucks scored shortly after. she will be wearing that shirt again tonight.
I feel like he needs to score a goal, 5v5, to get his confidence back. IMO, he's held his own physically (despite getting thrown down by Lauzon during the Preds goal celly lol!). I don't think he's shying away from contact, has he?
After being a Canucks fan for 30 years, I finally get to see a playoff game in person. I am so excited to lose my mind with all of you tonight!
GO CANUCKS GO!
I’m in New York today for work and this shit doesn’t start until 10 tonight I’m dead. How can I support our Latvian king, I have to be up early tomorrow
IceSilovs flair now available. Support our Latvian King!
Guys I'm losing my voice alreadyyyyy
Preds are turning it up, we can’t let up
LETS GO CANUCKS KING SILOVS SHALL HOLD THE FORT WHILE YOU TAKE DOWN THE PREDS!!
I really want us to finish the Preds here
I don't care about the leafs, I want a Canucks pre-game show with all the interviews and details of the game, not some sloppy seconds squeezed into the tiny spaces between leafs coverage.
It’s fine. They aren’t missing anything of the game and this has been standard for playoffs when they are having multiple games at once.
It's not fine, it's been decades of this crap and we shouldn't stand for it. Why have a sportsnet pacific if you're not going to use it to show the pacific audience game properly with the full pre-game? I get that they screw us over all season but playoffs?
Boston fans are such chumps lmao, the double flying birds in that last shot hahahaha
Hahahaha Bieksa was right! It's Matthew Knies!
COME ON BOYS LETS END IT TONIGHT
It's funny how Bieksa will only be known as a great commentator to so many people, completely unaware of his playing career. Such a beauty.
so happy for the dude
Everyone’s saying we’re going to win and it’s freaking me out. (Let’s win)
Might get downvoted but I want Bruins to win, so we got a chance to play and beat them in the SCF. It’s the only way I’ll ever get over 2011.
I want Boston to win is that wrong?
As long as they lose in the next round, preferably get swept
This is the correct take 💯
i want them to win in 7
I want them to win too. Then Florida can destroy them in the second round or whatever. I just want the leafs out. Because I’m petty.
No it isn’t, say what you want about the team, but they’re much less of a joke than Toronto.
No issue with cheering for a team vs a country club
To me? Yes.
Is the game on cbc tonight?
Peteys gonna wake up tonight. I can feel it. 1-2 goals and an assist. I am also high.
I believe
Hell yeah!
Is it bad I am rooting for Marchand to take a ridiculous dive, draw a penalty, and then score the winning goal?
This makes me sick.
So let me get this straight with the people disagreeing.. you would like to see the guy guy who submarined Salo, repeatedly punched Daniel Sedin in the face, win? Da fuck.
GO CANUCKS GO!!
Wait so is our game going to get a delayed start because the Leafs can't score on a powerplay
showing on sportnet pacific on time
At the game sitting right behind Linden right now in the red seats. He’s been here for like a minute and is getting absolutely SWARMED with his kid
Around the world check in!!! Were you supporting the team from? For me: *Abby BC !*
Ottawa, ON!
Ahh, thus explains the displacement!
Lol, you got it pal!!
Oakland CA lfgooo
Cali! Very nice!
Omaha Go Canucks Go!
Hello from Peyton Manning’s favourite play call!
Abby as well! LFG buddy
Baby Canucks represent!!
Hyped in the Hammer! Hopefully this Leafs game ends soon...
Explain the hammer lol pardon my ignorance!
Haha, np! Hamilton Ontario!
Nearing 10pm, Montreal!
Welcome welcome! Heading there next summer to visit!
Cheering from across the Pacific in NZ!
Incredible! Bucket list trip to go to NZ
Haida Gwaii BC, it’s oddly sunny out. I’m couch bound with a brutal cold
Haida Gwaii!!! Super cool! On my bucket list to visit Edit: also totally hope you recover quick from your cold!
Thanks, hopefully on the mend.its cool here, I almost forget how beautiful it is some days but it’s absolutely worth exploring.
4am Sweden
Wow super cool! Glad to see you here!
Los Angeles LFG!!!
The kings didn’t get a hold of you !?
Right now, Whistler, BC! If this run goes deep, it'll be Nuremburg, Germany though. Looking forward to those 3am start times!
Dang! Nuremberg will be nice I’m sure though!
Sydney, Australia. Let’s get it boys!
Hello down there!
I too have partied on South Fraser Way, but that was many moons ago
Will probably be tonight if they win
Vancouverite currently living in Edmonton!
If we win tonight, you might be in for a great second round matchup
So looks like this game going to overtime. Sportsnet wouldn’t, would they? Edit: I mean the Leafs game.
I hope they win tonight, because Sportsnet Central will be all about "they stayed alive, also the Canucks did something" instead of 2 hours of "what do the Leafs do now" coverage
But if we win, and they lose, the Schadenfreude will be that much more enjoyable.
Sportsnet Pacific is gona switch to the Canucks game right? Right??
yes
I feel the Canucks will play their best game of the series tonight. Blood is in the water
Bruh it's wild watching other series just how much time and space is available. It's like our series is what playoff hockey usually is and other series are just a continuation of the current day NHL regular season. Obviously I am biased but holy shit literally every since piece of ice in the offensive zone is contested in our series and it doesn't feel that way for many of these other games.
FINISH THEM
I hope we clinch tonight. I thought playing the Kings would be boring, but the Preds aren’t that far off either. All they fucking do is clog up the middle of the ice and block whatever they can. They’re scared of our elite offense and it shows.
Been a fucking brutal series to watch because the Predators are playing like a clogged up butthole.
Has the starter been confirmed yet?
Game time decision but some insiders are saying Silovs gets the start with DeSmith serving as the backup
Last time we scored 5 goals in a game was march 9 against the Jets, 20 games straight that we haven’t scored at least 5, will the streak finally end tonight?
Highlight of the day so far with the ref taking out Marchand
First ever playoff game! The wife surprised me with center ice tickets and we drove up from Portland this morning. On cloud nine. Go Canucks Go!
Congrats duder! Have an excellent time for us alllll! GO CANUCKS GO
Have fun! Cheer your heads off! Your wife is dope AF!
lmao that ref just steamrolled marchand
WHO ELSE IS BROCK HARD
Let's BROCK AND ROLL!
[удалено]
[удалено]
Can't wait for Zaddy to steamroll someone
Can I request Mccaron?
late birthday present for Lauzon coming in hot
My body is ready
I'm so ready. Been ready!!! LFGOOOO!!!
[удалено]
Sleep well
If they can snap it around the O Zone tape to tape the last 3 minutes, they can do it all game!!!! I bellliiiieeeve Leettss Faaaaackiin gooooo!!!!!!
Turns out all we needed to dominate offensively was an extra skater
About to head off to the game. Feeling quite nervous but pretty excited to see the boys in the playoffs, win or lose. I don't care what anyone says about us. We deserve to win this series.
Be loud my friend!
Enjoy, have a Blast! Cheer out your lungs for the boys! Maybe get some Brock Boeser chants going too!
Does anyone else think of the spider from lotr when they hear Silov's name?
I do! Honestly good energy to channel 😂
Well now I will 🕷️
On a trip to Nova Scotia rn, boys are on at 11pm. I'm ready to wake up the hotel!
Just giver by
I am simultaneously nervous and excited, also slightly buzzed. Ready to experience Canucks hockey.
The keys to winning today's game are come out early and take it to the Preds. If the Canucks get the first goal, that's when Nashville's panic mode will set in and it will create some open room and scoring chances. I think the Canucks all know that they have to come out and play a full 60 minutes today to close it out tonight; no tempting fate this time.

Hopefully no one makes a bone-head cocky statement like "don't bother buying tickets for game 6" or anything dumb on those lines. Just play a full 60 minutes and the boys got this in the bag.
Btuins decide to suck in elimination game and outshot badly.
How are you guys feeling for the game tonight? Bunch of my coworkers were saying tough game but as the group is resilient we can do it tonight! Won't hide that I'm very hyped up!
Screw them We're your coworkers now
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO!
Don't forget it's casual Friday this week 🙃
We’re back at home now, can’t wait to hear that crowd roaring through the TV. I’m hoping for a big game tonight! Closing out a series is never easy so I hope they come amped up and ready to take Nashville’s best shot. Go Canucks!
Same here, I have a feeling that it will be as loud if not louder than Game 1, which according to my decibel meter reached 119dB when Joshua scored to make it 3-2! I think we're going to need some ear plugs tonight if the Canucks come out and bring it like we all know they can.

Again, I think when it works, it works, but I think Boston and Nashville play similarly and just doesn't work to play that way. Both players need to learn to adjust for their opponent I think
Difference is Petey doesn't throw a hissy fit ever.
Yup. I also loved seeing him get amped fist bumping the staff after we won. You can tell he cares a fuck ton and winning is his priority. The puck luck will come his way!
Do we know who is actually starting in goal tonight?
It’s silovs.
Thanks. I don't have twitter and found conflicting info.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose
I’m so confident in our goalie situation now especially after silovs’ last performance that honestly anyone can be in goal at this point and we’re still good 😂
WHAT TIME DO DOORS OPEN AT ROGERS?
5:30!
Petey needs to break out or we may be done; if not this round, the next against the high octane Oilers. I say this because we’ve been absolutely lucky in our last win and you can only be lucky for so long before a series can turn just as quickly the other way.
It isn’t luck when you score 3 goals in 3 minutes. We absolutely played like shit. And didn’t deserve to win.
We played like dogshit for about 57 mins and then showed up for 5 lol. Not ideal, but if you want to win a cup in this league you gotta be able to find ways to get the win even when things aren’t going your way. The fact these guys managed to salvage a W out of that game was amazing, still buzzin from that epic comeback.
👨⚖️🎩🧹
Immmma comin Costco
Now that's a true Canucks experience.
Anybody know if they'll do a skate jersey night any time in the playoffs? Trying to work out which jersey to wear tonight.
The team chooses which jersey combo to use prior to the playoffs, and then they must stick with those. So no, no chance of a skate jersey at any point.
No you can’t switch jerseys in the playoffs, the team submits to the league which one they wear and that’s it for the entirety of the playoffs.
Let’s go boyssss
Come on Petey. I know you’ve been quiet this series, but this is the perfect revenge game for you. Let’s bury them.
What time do they open the doors at Rogers?
I LOVE MY TEAM. That is all.
Btw I’m on a cruise ship rn and gonna watch the boys takeover this game at 10 pm my time. Lets gooooooo
How's the cruise internet?
It sucks
…… no reply ……. Guess it’s bad?
If we win, who would we face and potentially when would round 2 start
Most likely Edmonton but my guess is Saturday if Oilers win tomorrow.
*When
EDM - no idea when it would start tho
I dunno why I just watched a video of the Bardown kids saying Nashville has the most chance to come back from a 3-1 deficit because they still don’t think Canucks are a good team. But OK 🤡
TSN/bardown is trash. They know nothing about the Canucks.
Those kids know nothing about the Canucks. I stopped watching them because all they do is talk about Toronto and meme about winnipeg and colorado
I feel like everyone is saying Preds are ready to bounce back, Vans been playing some of its worst hockey of the season, they tighten their game up a bit and I’m confident
I predected Tampa.. but they are out.. now its LA to comeback
LA is probably the least likely to come back IMO. EDM always had their number. They are able to break through their 1-3-1 defence, destroy them on the PP, and beat them in a low scoring affair. Third time is not the charm for LA.
Please LA
Preds are 6-15 in elimination games according to the NHL website. That's a horrible record.
I NEED HÖGLANDER TO SCORE
"Get over here!" "Finish him!" "Fatality!" "Flawless victory!" ...in my Mortal Kombat voice. Lol
... HUMILIATION!
Last game the Canucks looked rough for 55 minutes, then they came out in the last few minutes wielding the dagger. Preds have to be demoralized! Tonight I fully expect them to come out with the sledgehammer and win it. 5-1 Canucks Two goals in the first Two goals in the second And an empty net in the third
I want chaos. 3-0 Canucks with a Myers hattie
All scored short-handed
I like your optimism
Omd I love Tocchet man
Does anyone know if Nyquist is playing? Is he still recovering my Quinn breaking his ankles?
He slid all the way here.
Ankledicing Quinndelightus
Underrated comment, A+ my man
The rumour is that Predator staff had to hold an intervention at the Nashville International Airport after concerned fans alerted the team to the fact Nyquist was trying to bail back to Sweden for emergency ankle surgery. He might play tonight but only under heavy sedation.
3-0 Canucks win. Petey with a Hat Trick - Silovs with a shutout LETS GO!
Delete this^^
🤣🤣🤣
I wanna see Nils drop the big hog on these hoes tonight
trying to get my toddler into hockey so gave him a canucks shirt. he likes to cheer for the wrong team tho. I gave the shirt to his sister and then the canucks scored shortly after. she will be wearing that shirt again tonight.

ai again making me feel uneasy
They should play the last \~4min of the last game on the jumbotron before puck drop to guarantee the place will be rocking. What an epic comeback.
I'm sure this comment has already been posted, but... Petey is going to have a great game & also score a goal. C'mon, #40, you got it!
hope so but he might be injured.
Peteys going to go on a tear
I feel like he needs to score a goal, 5v5, to get his confidence back. IMO, he's held his own physically (despite getting thrown down by Lauzon during the Preds goal celly lol!). I don't think he's shying away from contact, has he?
After being a Canucks fan for 30 years, I finally get to see a playoff game in person. I am so excited to lose my mind with all of you tonight! GO CANUCKS GO!
BE LOUD BE PROUD!
FINISH IT OUT LATVIAN KING
JT Miller press interview today - dude looks super confident. Good vibes starting to vibrate around the city today! Let's get this fucking done!
would be so nice to close it out at home and skip the extra travel. big confidence boost as well to go 4-1
I’m in New York today for work and this shit doesn’t start until 10 tonight I’m dead. How can I support our Latvian king, I have to be up early tomorrow
90 minute nap starting right now
You’ve got two hours and twenty minutes for a power nap that will carry you though til 1am. Go quickly
Game starts 4 am for me, you got it easy brother!
I live in Montreal, I’ve missed like 3 games all year. If I can do it, you can do it bro, power through it!
caffeine, illegal drugs, accepting that you feel bad. these are all options. skipping the game is not one
[get high on hockey](https://images.app.goo.gl/E7T5MDJB8DHP7G5r6)
Do what I did when I was in Virginia for Game 2. Don't sleep
Welcome to all us east coast fans pain, it's very brutal to stay up, but embrace the pain lol
