Post-Game Talk: WCQF GM5 | Canucks lose to Predators | 1-2 (Zadorov) | Back to Nashville

[StrictlyCommercial]

Why did we not challenge the first goal? Feels like obvious interference slamming into the goalie, regardless of who the puck went off of.

 

[valkynax]

Ref was questionable on both ends.

We are not far off.

And yeah, that goal should be challenged.

 

[geebaan]

Luck ran out

 

[Slapshot_11]

I don't really care that we've done good under him but Tocchet needs to be fired

f***ing guy is buddy buddy with refs, doesn't challenge goalie interference

We were f***ing lucky to be up 3-1 and i dont see us winning now

 

[Diamonddog01]

Hronek and Petterson are injured imo. But the rest of the team apart from maybe Zadorov looked like shit as well.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Positives were Silovs and Zadorov and the PK was good.

Bizarre choice to not use a challenge on the very obvious goalie interference spear on the Nashville first goal.

Refs game management and then the Nucks forwards just could not must much of anything. Peterrsson continues to look more and more like a marginal offensive player.

 

[Jay26]

Seriously stop talking about the f***ing Saros chant or game management or whatever. 5th straight game of 20 shots or less. The offense is more anemic than the 2007. Maybe that's the issue FFS.

 

[drax0s]

I can't tell if Tocchet is not challenging shit to try to get good-will with the refs, or just apathy that they will actually do their job.

 

[just22]

Truly pathetic when you have a chance to close out a series at home and the best you can do is only 1 goal on 20 measly shots

Canucks are the least threatening offensive team this playoffs

 

[Hammer79]

Silovs lets in a soft goal and a questionable goal which was the difference, but we should expect that from a 3rd string. This team needs to score 3 goals.

 

[calnuck]

let Hronek walk in the off season.

 

[Quinning]

Momentum just shifted. Tocchet botched the non-call.

Might have been Pettersson's worst game of the series. He is just not there right now. Even at 60% and this series is over.

 

[potatowejj]

Offense just has not been good enough, all things aside. They can't be relying on short bursts of life to get them through every game.

 

[Orca Smash]

This is an incredibly scrubby nashville team, its not great they cant get the offense going.

 

[TruKnyte]

Why did we not challenge the first goal? Feels like obvious interference slamming into the goalie, regardless of who the puck went off of.

Yea that was dumb. Tocchets MO though is ultra conservative, so not surprised he didn’t challenge. Always seems to bite us in the ass though.

 

[Russian_fanatic]

Was Hronek jealous that Calgary was going to be on vacation?

Seems like he wants to on vacation as well LOL

 

[Grumbler]

They had plenty of chances, just couldn't bury it.

 

[Nopefully]

Not sure why Mikheyev wasnt stapled to the bench in the 3rd. A f***ing worthless player

 

[Petey O]

@just22 I can blame game management. It completely shifts momentum. The Canucks should have scored more, but for the refs to call that bs on Joshua and then miss a blatant hook on Pettersson after the Preds score is complete ****ing dogshit.

The call on Joshua completely changed the game.

 

[Quinning]

Silovs lets in a soft goal and a questionable goal which was the difference, but we should expect that from a 3rd string. This team needs to score 3 goals.

Predators also hit 3 posts.

This should have been a rout. Boys didn't put them away early when they had chances and it bit them in the ass.

 

[VanCanucks53]

that first Preds goal is making me so mad still

 

[cc]

Canucks did not play well but disadvantaged officiating played more of a factor than it should have in a playoff game

 

[eviohh26]

Not sure how that wasn't goalie interference .

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Not a single second effort chance on Saros all game. Barely any rebounds and again not enough shots on net.

Way too many icings. How can you ice the puck all game like that?

We'll I picked Nux in 6 let's see that happen!

 

[Hansen]

The lack of scoring from our team is killing me

We are so hurt, I cant believe how beat up the team is 5 games into the playoffs. They look like we did in the finals in 2011, we need to pull something out of our ass here and hope we get a break
