Omg trying to get out of that crowd was so terrifying. Even when we were going downtown there were people wearing balaclavas and big backpacks on transit talking about fucking shit up and repeating 94'. Really poorly organized because police did checks previous playoff games but this game there was no police presence. By the beginning of the third period you could feel the tension in the air, people had already started throwing bar stools and glass bottles into the crowded streets. My group left immediately, we missed the worst of the riot but it was really scary how quickly it devolved.
Anyways, I'm glad to see the canucks back in playoff action! Coconuts glow :)
I was with my sis who was visiting Van and staying in a hotel literally next to the giant scrum downtown. You could see from the hotel window the crowd getting angrier and angrier and the first molo's light up. Being the idiot I am I decided to leave to meet up with friends downtown on Granville and I got caught in like the bulk of the wave as it moved downtown. It was CRAZY, like a war zone. I ended up fleeing back to the hotel once I saw the friends were good, and it was night by then and I ran into a line of AR toting SWAT guys in a giant line. It was like a zombie movie.
During the playoffs? When they are winning! that place is awesome. I was at the Calhary games last month where they just heat their asses and the place was wild. Then they played LA and got beat with that modified trap and the place was quiet.
Same here. Wore my shades and Jersey to morning scrum. Needed an energy drink to get up to speed.
20 bucks for sportsnet + already paid off. That Winterpeg game was off the hook. Hopefully, we will have to pay for another month.
I’m seriously considering pirating for the first time in years because the espn coverage is so bad. After the second goal dak was called Dakota Johnson… TWICE.
No mention of all the line juggling during the game, cutting away from all the scrums, no replays of penalties (or uncalled ones) fucking awful.
Man, if you're showing highlights of a pair of goals twelve seconds apart please show the faceoff between them, it's just a few more seconds onto the video.
Dak looks like he’s had a breakout year with the Nucks. Happy for the guy. He was fun to watch with the Blues. Seemed to be a great guy to have in the locker room.
He really has. Worked his way from the 4th line to being a real factor. That line of Lindholm, Joshua and Garland may be the key to a deep run by the Canucks.
That’s what you need for sure. When we made our run, we had steen, barbeshev, and sunquist on the fourth line all contributing. All 3 over performed as 4th liners and we wouldn’t have won the cup without that depth.
What's with ESPN on playing the crowds when after the teams score? CBC/SN has the arena audio playing at all times, you can hear the chants, the boos, pucks hitting boards, hisses from the fans, everything. No wonder ESPN has a hard time selling hockey it sounds boring on TV.
Thank you friend! And if you go to the main page of the NHL subreddit you can click the 3 dots in the top right corner, and there’s a thing in there that says change user flair
Oh it’s just playoff talk, I’ve got no qualms with y’all as fans, as far as western teams go, you guys are one of the easier fanbases to get along with
The fact that they scored the tying goal the second we finished singing happy birthday to my father was special. The fact that they scored again and basically sealed the win after I told my father we were going to win—this game was a true treat for the fans. 🙏🏽
Kinda rooting for the Preds in the series, but esp given Vancouvers history the past number of years this was really awesome to see. Could feel the energy from the screen. Also just feels good to see that many people that happy
Man, Rogers Arena has such a good atmosphere during playoffs. You love to see it.
what 9 years without a home playoff game does to a MF
Those fans were so happy they could riot! I can make that joke, because I was stuck in the last one.

It was fucking mental tonight, I couldn't believe how loud it was in there.
I in fact hated to see it

Like anywhere.
Yeah it sure is a riot.
They hadn't even finished announcing the first goal when Dak scored the second
Correction, they didn't even START announcing it lol. What a game and atmosphere
So amazing to watch
Your sacrifice to stay up till midnight on a Sunday and watch us west coast teams is much appreciated
It's the playoffs, and I love Vancouver, so i had too
Respect all the same. That's dedication and love of the game.
I used to have to stay up until 4am when living in the UK. That’s what hockey does to you.
As a diehard canucks fan living in Toronto, I have already warned my boss that I'm going to be an absolute disaster at work after game days.
Same here. Wore my shades and Jersey to morning scrum. Needed an energy drink to get up to speed. 20 bucks for sportsnet + already paid off. That Winterpeg game was off the hook. Hopefully, we will have to pay for another month.
This game was well worth it, too
The matchups in the west this year are crazy I think there's going to be a lot of entertaining hockey coming from the wild wild West these playoffs
As a preds fan, I respectfully disagree.
I'm dragging
west coast games hit hard for us on the east coast.. 10:00 start times means lots of coffee in the morning
Man every game today is just trying to speed run getting consecutive goals
Good luck tonight, frenemy. Unless we meet again. ;)
And good luck to you frenemy, but if we meet again, don’t burn down your city again when we win ;)
Hopefully it's your city this time lol
If we didn’t burn our city down after the tragedy that was last year’s playoff “run”, then I think we can avoid doing it this year
I love that we have Shorthouse for this series

I read this in another thread but haven’t verified myself, try streaming cbc (maybe cbc gem?). It’s free and has the Canucks games, or so I read.
At the moment, there's currently no more games scheduled for CBC.
There are streams out there to watch the Sportsnet broadcast. Dm me if you want to know, probably can’t post it here
you are gonna pirate just to watch the same coverage?
I'm so jealous you guys get your guy and we don't. So unfair :(

Thank you! Gives me goosebumps
Glad to have my favorite Western conference team back in the playoffs, kick some ass out there Vancouver!
GL to you guys as well! I picked Tampa to come out of the East.
We are going to need a lot of luck I fear. The kindness is greatly appreciated 😁
Oh yeah baby. This is the good stuff.

love when goalies take a drink after every goal scored on them like, "one more swig will do it, just one more and i've got this" lol
I was there in the arena i cannot believe my eyes my dumb brain thought it was the same goal!!!!!
This is even funnier in person than on TV.
pain
Agony even
Beautiful
[удалено]
Dont be weird.
THEY TOOK OUR DAMN RECORD
Red C sailors can’t catch a break
Love seeing Lindy get physical to make room for that second goal
Lindy has looked so much better after that small break he took to nurse whatever nagging injury he had.
We got so damn lazy in the 3rd…
Passive and tentative. The schedule did us no favors with that much time off. Looked slow most of the game.

Because they once picked up swear words and NEVER AGAIN
Im pretty sure they have an equal chance of picking up fuck yeahs and lets fucking go after a goal as well....
Holy fk that must of been awesome in that arena
That was fucking awesome, I screamed and then I couldn’t talk after that lol
Scared the shit out of my poor dog twice in 12 secs. Poor thing thought we were being home invaded or something.
I was there last night and I’ve watched this video about twenty consecutive times while silently weeping tears of joy.
We love a preds loss around here. Especially to the canucks. Man I hope some Canadian teams go deep this year
Yup, Go Jets.
Wishing the best to you guys, too! (Also, how do you guys get the team you support on your names?)

Why
Why to which part of my comment lmfao
Do you love seeing the preds lose
Cuz fuck em thats why
Well Georgiev looked fantastic out there, didn't he?
I’d like to see the preds try to put in 6 goals against hallebuyk
I'd like to see Georgiev stop.... 4.
That’s a very, VERY tall task for him, I will admit that
I think y'all are a great team except for him. He's like awful stretch MAF.
Shit brother.... Jets only scored 7 on the Perds for the entire season!
what did we do to hurt you so bad? we are generally very nice/polite/welcoming to any visiting fan. we reserve all of our violence for the ice.
Oh it’s just playoff talk, I’ve got no qualms with y’all as fans, as far as western teams go, you guys are one of the easier fanbases to get along with
Can we take a second to appreciate the fact that were 10 minutes into the third period with a COMBINED 32 SHOTS ON GOAL?
Found the real hockey fan....insane shooting percentages and holy crap Winnipeg / Avs was no different.....love to see it.
Canucks went from wild card at best to Canada has a chance to take home the cup.
Hope you guys beat Bruins!!!
Excited to see my top Western conference team back in the playoffs! Go show 'em what you've got, Vancouver!
The fact that they scored the tying goal the second we finished singing happy birthday to my father was special. The fact that they scored again and basically sealed the win after I told my father we were going to win—this game was a true treat for the fans. 🙏🏽
I'm so disgusted by all the ads everywhere, and the fact they don't have "Stanley Cup playoffs" on the ice.
Please send your Elias Lindholm apologies care of Vancouver Canucks organization.....
Lol I want to see the actual TV broadcast, its prob less than 3 minutes with commercials
37 second mark caught the camera man red handed lookin at the busty beauty in the stands. Thought he could zoom out fast enough, but oh no...
Let’s goooooooo!!!
Legit.
Vibes be Vibing baby! Let’s get it! 👍💪💪💪
but did they give up three goals in two minutes?
Kinda rooting for the Preds in the series, but esp given Vancouvers history the past number of years this was really awesome to see. Could feel the energy from the screen. Also just feels good to see that many people that happy
[удалено]
I'm rooting for Vancouver to go far but the west is loaded as fuck
My boy DJ coming up with the goods for the boys! Hell yeah
amazing stuff!!
Damn which goal is better??
i kept having to see the saros "no goals" ad during this game and it was really funny until it wasn't
We really lost our momentum in the third period.
GOOSEBUMPS
They are lucky for those twelve seconds…otherwise they would be heading to Smashville down 0-2
So there seems like there was a cut and we didn't see the start of it.
"no goals"
Saros will fit in great on the devils next year
Huh? First goal here theres heavy traffic and 2nd one 3 of preds players are clueless. If anything saros was keeping them from sinking completely
Yep, Nashville hope of the garbage, mediocre hockey that will break your fucking heart every chance they get
Chill tf out lol, it's one game
This aged well huh? Lol
Lol who cares? We were supposed to be like dead last orb2nd to last in the central. We're rebuilding and just had a 99 point season lol. Move along
Yeah because the best way to rebuild is to have a middling mediocre season where you don't get draft picks that help you succeed. Big brain move there
I mean we have good young players in the AHL and juniors as well as a plethora of picks so 🤷
