Game management at its finest there at the end. If they’d called the rest all night, sure, but to do that in the last minute annoyed me greatly.

Unlucky Nashville. Weird series. We were better tonight.

 

[Coffey]

Preds did this to themselves.

MASTERFUL CHOKE

Congrats Nucks. I think they could pose some challenges for the Oilers.

Woooooooooooooo


Silovs ice cold, shut them out on the road. That was awesome

 

[Summer Rose]

Congratulations, Deranged Oreo Dolphins!

 

[Chainshot]

Nashville with nothing to hang their heads about in a year that was supposed to be a rebuild. Well done to the Canucks for not just overcoming losing Demko, but DeSmith as well.

Congrats Nucks. I think they could pose some challenges for the Oilers.

Not if they don't score some goals.

 

[Hockeyholic]

You can't lose three home games in one of the loudest arenas. Simple as that. The choke in game 4 cost them.

 

[Jee]

gj nucks bros !

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Congrats Nuks.

Not sure what that game from the Preds was, good lord that was bad.

Refs can suck elephant dicks

GG Predator fans, it was a chess match. We managed to bored out all the neutral fans

Vancouver was clearly the better team. Anyone who watched the whole series can't say otherwise. They dominated all but 2 periods all series. Nashville couldn't match them.

 

[syz]

Colton Sissons definitely the MVP for Vancouver. Dunno if he'll be able to keep it up in round 2.

 

[LTIR]

Preds deserved the L after scratching Barrie. He would've gotten the puck in the net at the end.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Massive props for the Canucks to be able to continue on even with their goalie injuries. Silovs was terrific, getting that kind of a performance out of a 3rd string goalie just speaks well for the entire team's chances.

Reminds me of when Jeff Zatkoff won 2 playoff games for the Penguins back in 2016. You need those big contributions from unexpected sources to go on a deep run.

It was more of a dumb and dumber kinda series

 

[sabremike]

Tyler saves the day!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ghost of Murph]

This series could have easily gone 7. Have to give the Preds a lot of respect. Class organization with some of the classiest fans in the NHL

Spoken like a person who didn't watch every game. If it wasn't for Saros Vancouver would have won in 4.

 

[LeighDx59]

Good series Vancouver, hell of a battle and go beat Edmonton now.

As for the Preds, cant be too upset because everyone wrote them off before the season even started. Not only did they make the Playoffs, but they didnt make it easy for the Canucks either, not bad for a retooling team.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Andrew Brunette needs to figure out how his powerplays in the playoffs. Holy shit has it cost him 2 playoff series

 

[ScottishCanuck]

I’m assuming that you’re trolling with this one. There were at least a couple of games Nashville controlled.

I thought we deserved the series, but it was frustratingly, eye-gougingly tight.

 

[Tob]

I can't believe how much I heard Nyquist's name. Need more talent.

I don't think either team played well in this series, that was some ugly hockey. The cynic in me is happy that I don't have to watch my favorite team attempt to play anymore playoff hockey for this season. That being said, Vancouver is clearly the superior team and earned the win, congrats to them.

That crosscheck at the end is a standard crosscheck call, the problem is we can't harp on players for discipline when the standard for what's a penalty changes every 10 seconds. It was a legit call but it's impossible to blame Canucks fans for being irritated with it.
