We did it!

 

[wonton15]

Quinn Hughes is the best defenseman this team has ever had.

And he's only 20. Wow.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I’m on Cloud Nine. Holy hell. What an effort by the boys. Love this team!

 

[MikeK]

This win is huge for this young team. Can't underestimate just how important this experience is for the long term success. What a gutsy win.

Congrats to Canucks fans. Would much rather see you in over the Wild (and the Oilers, of course.)


With general dislike/ambiguous yet sincere hate,

A Calgary fan.

 

[Luongos Knob]

Hughes is a f***ing gangster, he's a beast and a monster and he's ours muahahaha

Let's f'in go.

When COVID is over and any of you are in NYC, drinks on me

 

[Uncle Rotter]

Is it just me, or did that puck deflect going in?

 

[Wayward Son]

They ****ing did it. We ****ing did it.

Now go rewind the ending and pay particular attention to the young guns reactions. Amazing.

 

[timw33]

and now we just made the second round.

That wasn't the first round, that was a qualifying round. We are now in the First Round of the NHL Playoffs, the 16-team best of 7 series, i.e actually the playoffs.

Not even something to argue, the NHL has been clear about this.

 

[Svencouver]

I never doubted a single person on this team. We have the best bottom 6 in the league. Sutter is a FOUNDATIONAL player. Quinn Hughes will win 10 Norris' in a row and will become the greatest defenseman of all time. Pettersson is the lab fusion of Forsberg and Gretzky. Boeser is Ovechkin with better hair. Horvat is Jonathan Toews 2.0. Olli Juolevi is Finnish Lidstrom. Tyler Myers is Zdeno Chara but taller and more skilled, CALDER WINNER THAT THE NHL IS SO AFRAID OF THAT THEY TRY TO SHUT HIM DOWN WITH PENALTIES, BUT THEY CANT!!!!!!!!!! JENERATIONAL TALENT MILLER IS ELITE AND THE BIGGEST STEAL IN ANY TRADE IN NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE HISTORY. AND CHRIS. f***ING. NUMBER EIGHT TANEV IS GETTING HIS NUMBER HUNG IN THE RAFTERS

AND JET BLACK JIM f***ING BENNING PUT THIS TEAM TOGETHER AND ITS GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE CUP FINAL FOR THIS YEAR AND FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS WHEN WE THREEPEAT LETS f***ING GO CANUCKS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO​

 

[Canuckle1970]

YAAAAAAAHHHH !!!!! TANEV !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[EpochLink]

After the OT goal went in, I yelled my lungs out.
Haven’t done that since 2011, oh how sweet it is!

 

[krutovsdonut]

boop

 

[RussianRacket]

Starting to really believe in this core....

This. The Nucks finally made the playoffs, but really they did deserve it.

A Calgary fan.

I'm very amused that Edmonton now has to sit on the sidelines and watch Calgary play on their home turf

 

[AzNightmare]

Didn't see this comeback happening. Loving the resilience. Team pulled it through even when the goalie shat the bed.

 

[ugghhh]

We play the loser of Dallas/St Louis.. hopefully Dallas

 

[member 328930]

Haha....

interviewer: “how are you going to celebrate in the bubble?”

tanev: “I don’t know. We will think of something when we get undressed.”

 

[Hoghandler]

Gotta love Tanev getting the clincher. Guy has been through a lot of losing, and has sacrificed the body to get to this point. Guy is a beauty.

What a game for Tanner Pearson. Was the difference tonight. That veteran experience was huge.

Also have to feel good for Brandon Sutter. Health hasn’t been there the last few years, but really stepped up in this series. Tough matchup against a stacked Minnesota bottom 6, came up aces.

Most importantly, have to like how this young core persevered. Canucks teams of the past always seemed to find a way to lose, but not Hughes and co!
