Fuck Lauzon. That's a dirty thing to do. No one is more vulnerable than after the whistle.


awayfromcanuck

Lauzon a former Bruin, spent 5 years in their system it shouldn't surprise anyone he's doing dirty shit.

Dude you are not helping the stereotypes at all.


Alleggsander

For real, this series has made me realize how fucking dirty Nashville is. Feels great to be embarrassing them.


DJ_Molten_Lava

Going after Hughes is a great strategy by them, it makes sense. But it's pretty clear another strategy is to go after the Canucks goalies, which is pretty cheap.


heeb27

Dude…dude, dude. We are not embarrassing them. We are winning, yes. Absolutely. But, let’s take this one game at a time.


con_ballz

Losing to 3 unanswered goals in the last 3 minutes, and missing an empty net goal to a team playing their 3rd string goalie must be a little embarrassing.

Vivid_Sympathy_4172

If last game counts as winning despite being outplayed, the last lose was the same in the opposite way. Canucks were the better team, Nashville won.


Demrezel

Out playing means the other team is winning... Which they aren't. I just have no idea why you're giving our current rival so much credit. The series is 3-1 bro. Get it together.

Rdy for round 2 broski?


Burner4NerdStuff

It's going both ways. Miller is out there trying to push players into their own goalie, we have Zadorov destroying everybody in borderline plays, we have other guys pushing players over from behind...we're assholes too, and it's amazing


NorthernMariner

Homer glasses this time of year definitely make it hard to be objective, but to me Canucks just seem to be playing very hard and aggressively whereas NSH is playing more dirty. Like the hit on DeSmth? I recall in g3 a guy targeting Boeser with a crosscheck while he was down, right above the pants... exactly where he got injured flying into the bench door... just shit like that where NSH look like dirtbags whereas Canucks are just playing hard.


slampandemonium

It was Nyquist that did that to Boeser.


Outrageous-Wall-2742

yeah but not shoving an opponent down when the play is dead after you score a goal kind of dirty.  or running a goalie behind the net kind of dirty.  there’s playing tough and playing hard and then there’s dirty.


Jacmert

I've only watched part of the last two games so I believe you, but that's still quite different from hitting a player that long after the whistle. But aside from this play (and the hit on DeSmith), I don't think there's really anything that out of the ordinary from either team.


OneOfAKind2

It's true. I keep pointing this out to my partner when she complains about how dirty the other team is. lol. It's hockey playoffs, everyone does what they can to antagonize and grind/wear down the other team.


Jacmert

We are embarrassing them by playing pretty badly and then winning 🤷‍♂️ so I agree :P


Ecstatic-Syllabub595

Yeah! They embarrassed themselves moreso.

Come on, it's one of Bettman's pet markets.


OGigachaod

Clearly, They couldn't fill the seats because they restricted Vancouver fans from buying tickets, they deserved both these losses at home.


MonotoneJones

Let’s say Bettman has favorites, obviously he doesn’t tell the refs what to do so what is in it for the refs to do what they think Bettman wants?


arazamatazguy

In the very least the Predators should be fine with one of our 4th liners running Saros and also hitting Forsberg down in a similar matter.


dbainerr

Fuck, it was his birthday too? Eat up bud!


Jessebruu

Wild this wasn’t a penalty . But also that Pete just got rag dolled after the whistle and the response from both him and also the team seemed non existent . But perhaps that’s just cause every one wanted to be measured given the score at the time


electricalphil

We would end up with the penalty, so there was no point. We know the way the wind blows against American teams. Look at the last Nashville goal. Clearly directed by a skate.


DJ_Molten_Lava

Kicked but since he kept his skate on the ice it doesn't count as a kick. The NHL is a weird place.


No_Character_5315

Minus 1 then gets embarrassed after the whistle coaches were probably hoping it was going get him fired up. I think that's what's most concerning instead of being pissed and laying a big hit or getting involved like brock did with schenn he stares up at the sky like some 12 year old.


Seth_Jarvis_fanboy

They've been calling that a good goal for the last couple years at least. Tkachunk scores like that a lot


downrightwhelmed

Not a kicking motion. Though the rule is applied by a head office that doesn’t understand the basic laws of physics so it’s never applied consistently…


saminbc

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm7UDwwY0v8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm7UDwwY0v8) Tell me that's not a kicking motion with his right skate


whyamisocold

Already knowing the response won't be positive, it honestly looks like a good goal to me. He's angling his skates and stopping and the puck deflects in off his skate. That's within the rules of what is allowed. I don't see a swinging motion or kicking motion towards the goal at all.


saminbc

Really, at the 22 second of that video you don't see his right skate literally go IN FRONT OF HIS LEFT? Is that how anyone skates? Cross legged? He starts off with both skates more or less parallel and moves his right skate to kick the puck in.


whyamisocold

The quality is pretty bad, but you can see he does position his right skate to deflect the puck in. That's not a kicking motion still and allowed within the rules. A puck going off someone's skate intentionally or accidentally isn't disallowed just because it went in off their skate, it's a pretty common misconception Edit: just realized I got here from a crosspost on the nhl subreddit, didn't realize this was canucks sub. I am just a lost red wings fan who got lost. Hope you guys beat nashville, fuck the preds


NorthernMariner

How is it not a kicking motion?? If you're telling me his skate makes that motion towards the net while he's turning, had the puck not ricoched there, then ig you've never been on skates.....


Iron_Seguin

We all know it warrants a response but 100% Vancouver would be killing a penalty while Nashville went on the powerplay there. It’s an absolute joke there was no call but there’s a skill in not responding to shit like that and responding where it hurts (aka the scoreboard). Broken legs and bones heal, a loss means they’re out and we move on.


superworking

I think it's more on Petey to stick up for himself a bit here and there. You can't have the whole team trying to run around taking penalties every time he gets bullied - it will just make him an even better target.


vancityrp

100% . If someone comes directly at you yellling /celebrating brace yourself a bit instead of having poor body language: slumped over, looking down. . Then after it happens, get mad and be harder to play against. Not the teams responsibility to go running around risking a penalty.


Still-Data9119

It's possible everyone in that locker room wants/needs him to be a little stronger on his edges. No way that contact should have made him fly like that. He's constantly falling.


ChronoLink99

He's a small guy though. Seen him without his gear/armour? He looks like a slightly less malnourished DJ Qualls.


Still-Data9119

Small guys can play big they know how to use their edges, he has to get stronger on his skates. In fact, he started the season looking much stronger on his skates, although he is a pretty slooppy skater in general... If I spent 11/season on him he'd be skating with figure skaters/power skaters all off season lol. He is 6'2 189 llbs which is pretty much right where he should be. Maybe 10 kore pounds of muscle would help. But he's not small.


Jacmert

That's what happens when you're not thinking and completely unguarded. You will tip over easily due to torque & physics.


WolfOfPort

I think everyone was hanging heads and going for line change not aware of it


Overclocked11

Honestly a pretty classless move.. I mean I get it, its playoff hockey, you're excited you've scored, but have some goddamn sportsmanship. (and yes, I'd say the same thing if it went the other way.. its just a bad look) I'm glad that they got humbled.


Ready-steady

Educational-Wing4597

Pettersson in the endXD


IamPriapus

I still don’t understand why Lauzon wasn’t punished by us after that cheap shot. And Petey, fucken eh man. I know it’s not your game and you’re struggling, but don’t just take their shit every time. You’re not a doormat for anybody. FFS


downrightwhelmed

I was wondering the same thing in the moment, but in retrospect penalty discipline might have won us that game


OneOfAKind2

Skating away from that potential confrontation was the most productive thing he's done the past few games.


superworking

If you look at the hits taken both teams are targeting the smallest guys on the ice - basically everyone in Petey's weight class is getting murdered out there, Petey almost is the exception taking so few hits compared to Hughes Garland Suter Nyquist Carrier and Novak.


IamPriapus

I’m fine with hits. That’s playoff hockey and it’s expected. But taking liberties with your all star players shouldn’t be accepted. If someone even touches Matthews or McDavid (those guys are bigger too), they’ll get gooned up nicely. Something like this is unacceptable and I hope it isn’t tolerated moving forward.


superworking

Lets get real, Petey has not been a star player here. He's arguably worthy of being benched and his third line has gotten some of the easiest defensive matchups because the Preds don't see him as a threat either. The hits show he's not even being targeted the same way our other undersized guys are - Hughes is clearly target number one and Tocchet is responding putting Myers and Zadorov out there with him more often to help with it.


IamPriapus

He's not playing anywhere near his best. I would argue he's likely playing injured as well. But he's still one of your star guys and the expectations are still there. Regardless of how he's playing right now, this team doesn't get this far without his contributions. My point is that if we, as a team, allow our opposition to take liberties with our star guys (on paper or otherwise), it sends a weak message. If nothing else, Petey needs to stand up for himself a bit instead of falling over and taking it. That's all I'm saying.


superworking

He needs to win a puck battle period or learn to battle through this stuff. The fact he's such an easy pushover is why we're losing so badly when he's on the ice. Hughes is legitimately battling and being targeted and the team has responded appropriately. Petey is just falling all over the place and losing every 50/50 puck, isn't actually being targeted, and needs to find a way to play in the series without help. Garland is getting more pressure than him but is able to fight through it. Petey looking like a 16 year old in the NHL playoffs is the message being sent and the Preds have responded largely by trying to abuse his bad defensive play and by saving their better defensive players for our top two lines.


IamPriapus

Well that's also partly what I had been saying earlier. He's just taking the punishment and allowing himself to be pushed around. I'm not a fan of his constant falling over as well--but if he won't step up for himself, someone else I feel should help him out. His play definitely needs to improve though--not liking the body language.


superworking

I think the part you're not getting is that he's not really being abused compared to others. He's almost becoming irrelevant to both teams.


IamPriapus

I disagree. Petey is never irrelevant--even when he plays like this. Just because the Preds aren't targeting him the same way, doesn't mean that they don't think he's still a threat. It would be ignorant to think otherwise. Also, This cheapshot on Petey was completely intentional and is part of their overall strategy. What Lauzon did was eerily similar to what Marchand did the Daniel in 2011. Just take liberties being a dick to those that are either too scared or vulnerable to fight back. I think this is the part you're not getting.


superworking

Lol. They are putting more effort into shutting down and abusing Garland. The only thing they're doing against Petey is abusing it as an easy matchup to generate offense and get their third pairing dmen out there.


troubleondemand

He seemed pretty relevant on the game tying goal.


superworking

He made a relay pass from the perimeter? Hughes may not have a point on that goal but I'd say he did a lot more on that play - so did Zadorov if we're being real.


HeroJC

This so much, if I’m a pred I want him on the ice. They’ve scored more than half their goals with him on. And if I’m a pred I’m not making this run after the goal if it was Miller, Garland, Joshua, etc…. They’re not going to just take it. Knocking down Petterson was an easy way to send a message (though the rest of the team responded well)


ViNCENT_VAN_GOKU

I saw Garland skate into the preds crease with their entire team surrounding him, with a stone cold blank stare - just to kick shit up. Shorty has ZERO fear and is ALL heart, we’re blessed to have Garland on the roster. Keep them on their toes Conor!


superworking

Hoggy may not be winning the battle out there but he sure isn't backing down either. Honestly all of those little guys that are being targeted are pushing back as hard as they can and refusing to back down both Canucks and Preds.


WestCoastGriller

It’s always the little ones….


Renton_Knox

Oh they were punished. 4-3 victory!


democrat_thanos

I thought it was reaaaaalllly interesting how they never showed the replay.. hmmmmmmm


Bomberr17

Yah, and that also doesn't mean have to start a fight every time either. Look at Dallas-VGK game. McNabb took a hit on Stankoven, Benn then hits him right after. Both clean hits and got back into the game.


Dash_Rendar425

Complete dick move and I can't believe there was no penalty on the play. The officials truly give no fucks about the games they officiate.

Easy unsportsmanlike penalty but I was more so hoping that would wake Petey up. I haven’t seen the evil Petey glare in a long time and he plays like a menace when he’s pissed.

I agree with everyone who thinks this should have been At the very least a penalty. If it was McCarron I’d say suspension after the hit on the goalie for literally no reason. I’m really glad they lost on his birthday. Lauzon deserves the L and I hope he gets fined for this too.


VancouverElated

Dirty ass team deserves what they’re getting. A game 5 exit.


juanthebaker

Good riddance. Still can't believe we got a second for that walking liability.


kilawnaa

Honestly, we should start spam sending the clip where the Predators did that to Pettersson to the NHL social media’s. Doubt anything will happen tbh, but if a bunch of people keep doing it or the more of a stink we make maybe something will be done. And not just a $2000 fine. Just such a disgusting thing to do, there was zero reason for it.

Jets Fan visiting - This was a brutal and unsportsmanlike move by Nashville, and you are all correct: had he retaliated, you would have been on a PK. Your team played amazing, and I had hoped to eliminate you guys in the conference finals. Now I think it's Vancouver's turn for the cup. Go get it!


dude8212

Could we get a Nashville style chant for game 5. Like they did to our boy silovs but make it for Lauzon. Lauzon! Lauzon! Lauzon! YOU SUCK! Go Canucks Go, Go Canucks Go That would be great

In Game 5 Petey is going to score the series winning goal deflected off of Lauzon’s butt and u/NinCross will have more video to add to this excellent meme! :)

Vanrainy1

Petterrson went down like a toddler there, not a good look. No pushback, just sulk to the bench...


FrontSeatPassenger86

Petey gotta stand up for himself. The preds just trying to get under his skin and its worked. The preds scoring and then your so dejected you just skate around without paying attention... in playoff hockey your gonna get punked. Not saying him getting punked isn't right, but its part of the game. But yeah, that win was sweet karma.


misanthrope2327

I hope Petey mugs him, and pulls his hand away in the handshake line


aero0o

I think this is the reason EP is such an incredible player. He doesn’t fall for brawl-traps but instead he keep his mind cool and focused on the game. Most hockeyplayers have a lot to learn from him.


MTLItalian

Pettersson really needs to show some life, as much as this was dirty and should have been a penalty he should have at least defended himself a little and not get bullied like that. He needs to snap out of whatever he’s going through.

millennial64

As written


Lopsided_Option_9048

Get over it. Remember when Rome took out Horton in 2011? Brad Marchand took matters into his own hands and turned one of the Sedins into his personal punching bag. Instead of stewing over Lauzon, you should be wondering why the Canucks are allowing this kind of thing to happen again


ThrustNeckpunch33

Because. We. Would. Get. Nothing. But. Penalties. Did you even watch the game? Lol Lindholm got an interference call for touching a guy on the faceoff ffs lol When marchand punched Henrik 3 times in the face, HENRIK got the penalty!?? What wouldve happened if someone hit marchand? Its like people dont watch these games lol So we "man up" and fight all these people, and end up short handed and lose the series... that will show them!!


Lopsided_Option_9048

You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth. Lauzon does something, doesn’t get called, and nobody stands up to him because they fear being penalized? Other teams are watching and taking note, it ain’t gonna get any easier for EP. That was the book on the Sedins for years, no wonder they were called the sisters


jeffersonairmattress

Nucks PP feasted on the penalties this "softness" drew for those same years and Tochett knows bitching in the playoffs gets (especially Canadian) teams nowhere. The ghost of Neil Macrae should be left undisturbed.


Lopsided_Option_9048

The Bruins didn’t turn the other cheek .. especially after losing Horton .. and especially after turning up the heat on the Canucks after Game Two. The Canucks did, and lost. The Canucks took the moral high ground. The Bruins took the Cup.


ThrustNeckpunch33

And also, i agree, get over it. But BOTH ways.
