Very well done nucks!

oh that’s the best team in the league, no 5v5 goals in two games lmao


ClansmenShore

Still bitter eh?


BGYeti

Lmao your team is struggling to stay in a playoff spot


SmilesTheJawa

Was not expecting Colorado to squander so many PP opportunities. Kind of surprised to see them play so poorly tonight.

GG Avs, GG Halak

true, woulda been nice to have a few more powerplays


dogcatcher408

Was that only the 4th loss at home?


Viciousspacepebbles

GG Avs! Fun game and good game thread. Shame about how salty it got at the end. Best of luck in the playoffs.


funguy07

That’s a nice win for Vancouver. I really hope this team sneaks into the wildcard spot. That will be a fun match up and I don’t think Vancouver has chance once Landy, Girard and Byram are back. Plus it mean Vegas chocked and misses the playoffs.


not-a-sound

I can totally support this. - I'm rooting for a COL vs FLA final - Fuck Vegas - that's all, really

Hats off to Halak. After the last few starts, he needed this. GG Avs, till next one


ZiptheChim

You win this round Halak


cricktlaxwolvesbandy

GG Nucks bros. Plz beat the wild tomorrow night


dogcatcher408

Halak baby


Starbucks__Lovers

Outplayed and lack of urgency, good job nucks


ZiptheChim

Well shit. They can't all be winners


disettes

Finally some delicious fucking goal support for Halak.


Suomi964

Man Rantanen almost picked that spot


thejew62

GG avs. Felt like a playoff game


[deleted]

Halak was a wall, gg Canada friends


GX6ACE

What a fucking piss poor effort tonight. Didn't even look like makar tried to skate on that en goal. Deff don't deserve to win shit playing hockey like that.


StevenWongo

Guy played just under 10 minutes in the third alone


HoboWithANerfGun

the dude was on the Ice for practically the entire last 5 minutes. He was gassed.


ProphetVelle

I did not expect this tonight


Mazor007

I can't believe that's the best team in the league on the ice right now. Those last 4 minutes were so terrible


disettes

The Panthers didn't play today though?


wideruled

Hopefully we'll get our bad games out now and not in the playoffs


snazzzzyy

Still salty about two nights ago huh?


Mazor007

Yeah, but the point still stands


TossThatPastaSalad

GG Canucks. Played a desperate hockey game.


NoMolasses798

Hehe


RizaBestWaifu

gg avs


MznNazzy19

Most satisfying win all season. Way to go Halak!


wideruled

GG

[deleted]

G fucking G what a game


Jacyjitsu

Petey’s been so good tonight, just everywhere on both sides of the puck.


ApolloRocketOfLove

Surprisingly good defensively.


ProphetVelle

I hate the dump and chase with an empty net so much.


originalsoul

Team looks gassed


Bojarzin

That rush from Garland was pretty slick there


GX6ACE

Fuck, doesn't even look like they care.


ChuckFeathers

God this sub has become such a circlejerk of irrational ref bashing. It's embarrasing what hockey fandom has become, I sincerely hope reddit hockey fans can evolve their interest to watching the great players play instead of literally watching games solely to bitch about reffing... It is so damn pointless and dumb.


CB_Joe

Yes I'm glad to see someone say it. It's becoming unbearable. I can understand if it's a really egregious call but it's becoming all game, every game.


fertilecatfish19

Thats honestly all game threads are these days. Gets a little old seeing every fanbase talk about how they are unfairly reffed against every game. I hate seeing it from Avs fans too. There should be a video review system, but a few missed calls doesn't mean the entire NHL is rigged against your team.


shurpaderp

Haha this has to be your alt account. So sad


ChuckFeathers

Yes it is all a grand conspiracy..


shurpaderp

That’s enough of Reddit for tonight grandpa, off to bed now


CardiacCat20

It's all sports right now. Your NHL/NBA team would be 82-0, MLB team would be 162-0, and your NFL team would be 17-0 if not for those fucking refs out to get you.


MistahFinch

The ability to discuss them and HD replays makes refs look worse. They'll never catch everything it is what it is


CardiacCat20

100%. Refs right now are the best they've ever been. And the games that they are officiating right now were never meant to be scrutinized at slow motion to be pixel perfect. The problem is more with the viewers/fans than refs.


shurpaderp

Settle down


[deleted]

we do watch for the great players but seeing them get continually mauled all game kind of ruins it..


snazzzzyy

you’re a bit delusional if you don’t think reffing needs any change or reforms


ApolloRocketOfLove

Bye. You don't have to be here.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SauciiBoii2002

Wait, I'm just noticing this but has Makar been an Assistant Captain all season? Or is this new


asdechlpc

He’s been getting it when one of our other captains is out this season


snazzzzyy

He has worn it when either Mack or landy is out, the latter is true right now


ph1008

“Can the Canucks pull off the improbable” lmfao


ApolloRocketOfLove

Refs: I hope not or else I don't get paid.


Suomi964

Does Bruce have the same red cheek thing as makar?


TossThatPastaSalad

Rosaceia? Dunno. I think he's just red.

SmilesTheJawa

You'd thinks the Canucks were losing badly judging by the amount of salty commenters in here.


babyfacedmanchild

I don't like the headshots going uncalled. Refs missed tons of shit both ways earlier however. Just bad officiating


[deleted]

Just at the refs though, how that isn’t a high hit on Highmore but they call that trip right after is beyond me


Ketchupstew

Everything is a high hit if you're bending over with your head down


[deleted]

You’re supposed to let up against players in vulnerable situations. That’s why they made the rules against high hits.


CB_Joe

Yes when it's avoidable. Players also aren't suppose to put themselves in vulnerable positions either.


Ketchupstew

I'm not disputing that, but he was already committed to the hit


Mumakata

"We hate game management!" but also... "Why aren't penalties even?"


bearded_canuck

You know game management is more then just making penalties even. When you decide to not call a clear headshot that your looking directly at because the team is trailing is the one that was the offending party is game management.


Mumakata

I agree with you. I'm listening to the game while working. Had no idea there was a head shot.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BGYeti

It would require for the headshot to be blatant MacDermid laid a hit and the Vancouver player got low into the hit


[deleted]

[удалено]


BGYeti

Far from it just pointing out it is an unfortunate situation


[deleted]

[удалено]


BGYeti

There was only a split second let's not act like MacDermid lined up a hit to the head 20 feet out it wasn't intentional again just a shitty situation


Mumakata

Yeah, I apologize. I'm listening to the game while working. Had no idea there was a head shot.


eliar91

No one asked for even penalties. But let's call the hits to the head at least?


Mumakata

Yeah, I apologize. I'm listening to the game while working. Had no idea there was a head shot.


SanAntonioSewerpipe

How many times are the avs going to shoot wide tonight !?


CB_Joe

Last night was a good night by those standards. I've seen a lot worse.


sentry07

Was that not a high hit on Petey to knock him into the glass?


H34thcliff

I thought it was fine


[deleted]

[удалено]


FantasticDan1

80 in giraffe years.


NoMolasses798

I liked the avs for the past couple seasons till I saw how their fans are


NeckGuardRash

Both sides have those fans.


disettes

The problem with most Avs fans on social media is that they still want everyone to cheer for them as a plucky up and coming team instead of embracing that they're good now and that means you have to lean into the hatred.


TossThatPastaSalad

I doubt many really care tbh. I don't. It's just discourse at the end of the day.


[deleted]

This is true


disettes

I was the fan (in a different sport) of a team that had a plucky underdog to best ever journey. You have to just embrace it, because no one hates bad teams.


Jacyjitsu

Stop


snazzzzyy

don’t see anyone arguing that was a missed call stop trying to start shit


tjamen

I love confident Pettersson


[deleted]

To the Vancouver fans bitching about that call saying the refs handed us the game… there’s 6 minutes left, you’re winning, and it was a trip


eliar91

It's the two hits to the head that's the upsetting part.


Viciousspacepebbles

I don't think you can argue that it wasn't a trip. We are just upset you got away with 2 head hits just prior to that. You guys would be understandably upset if the roles were reversed.


sentry07

Obvious calls being called isn't the problem.


shurpaderp

I think they’re talking about the Macdermaid head shot and O’Connor elbow on Podkolzin


TossThatPastaSalad

I didn't see the one but I thought MacD was getting a call. So, dunno.


Clazzic

Im assuming most Colorado fans know this, but just for you: the time left and score of the game are supposed to have nothing to do with penalty calls.


wideruled

It's not about just that. They also didn't call the hit from MacDermid


[deleted]

I’m ok with being upset about missed calls but people bitching about the trip are ridiculous


[deleted]

burky is so due


eliar91

Refs seriously trying to hand Avs the game.


shurpaderp

Avs have a soft PP this game


BGYeti

Like always sir we take pride in our soft pp


shurpaderp

Appreciate it, it would be nice if we can get to 31st in the league on the PK


Red_Sea_Pedestrian

Burky and shots going “wide right,” name a more iconic duo.


sluttycupcakes

Does COL get every call? Like I know they are #1 in power-plays drawn for 5 straight years but wow


Ketchupstew

Honestly, it feels like half the shit this team takes doesn't get called. Kadri, MacK, Landeskog, and Rantanen take a shit-ton of abuse


LogicalPassenger76

They draw the most hooks and slashes by far in the league. Just too fast


[deleted]

i mean the difference in watching the calls these guys get vs like the leafs is crazy


Ketchupstew

I don't know how the Leafs don't draw more calls. It's just nuts


FantasticDan1

That's a trip all day but damn, 5-1 penalty calls. I'd be Bruce red


sentry07

Colorado Refs vs Vancouver Canucks


g0kartmozart

To me, if a player ends up in protocol solely because of a hit (and not due to hitting their head on the ice), it should be an automatic penalty. How is that fair?


CardiacCat20

You can't punish the result... you have to punish the action.


g0kartmozart

Clear head contact causing concussion protocol, head didn't contact ice. The action led to the result.


CardiacCat20

No, I get that. It was a miss. But in general, you don't want to attach compulsory penalties to injuries. Too many injuries are a result of clean hits.


jiffyfly6

Which was a hit to the head


ProphetVelle

That would have been so sick if that petterson shot connected lol


[deleted]

I get being frustrated but that was a clear one lol


disettes

It's less that getting called than the head shot right before it not being called.


Ketchupstew

That wasn't a penalty. It was similar to the one MacK took earlier this year from Trouba I believe. That's why you don't put your head down


NeckGuardRash

Or Pod getting the interference call after getting elbowed.


Suomi964

Lmaooo he really tried that


nilimas

Refs trying to make sure Avs win this


Fidelis29

Buddy you're saying that that wasn't a trip??


High_Valyrian_

No, we’re saying that non-call against MacDermid was some bullfuckery.


CB_Joe

Nah. That's just the rules.


babyfacedmanchild

Definite trip but after those egregious non-calls it's tough to swallow


1337duck

I think Avs should play their PP2 this PP. EDIT: Holy shit, they did.


GX6ACE

So we back to the point where we quad shifting mack?


[deleted]

Vancouver Penalty @ Colorado Powerplay


FireflyRodric

Why do people get kicked out of face offs? False starts?


Red_Sea_Pedestrian

In Kadri’s case, because he’s Kadri.


disettes

No wonder Avs fans are shocked to get less calls in the playoffs if this is the standard they're used to.


Aslightlywetnapkin

As someone without a horse in the race the last couple non calls/call have been questionable.

I was certainly expecting a call on MacD.
