@@wittybanter96 its over man has a canucks fan this isnt the team that played during the winter at all. There is no coming back unless demko is playing in the next two games
If Saros is able to maintain his current form over the course of a season and his team fights in front of him he’s the best goalie in hockey. Nobody reacts to the cross like him. Most goalies just get to the other post. He manages to get there and make a move toward the shooter. Amazing.
@@mitchelldalton7405 Oh yeah. If that one doesn't go at least 6 I'm gonna feel cheated. I wouldn't say Saros is close to that level but consistency throughout a season could get him up there.
idc what anybody says, When Saros brings his A game, he's the #1 in the league, he's faster than anyone, he makes key saves one after another and looks good making these saves, awesome style game sense and technique.
Man DeSmith is so unlucky, I was so happy to hear the chant for him then immediately a crazy tip the redirects completely, Beauvillier couldnt do that for Canucks. I am not sure if it is intentional or not with how the Canucks leave DeSmith hanging on defense, letting anyone just literally skate up to him or leave a man completely wide open on the other side. He really deserves better his confidence has been trampled on like crazy.
It was hella awkward when everyone was chanting his name and he lets one in. Other than that I don’t think it was his fault tonight. Nashville blocked all our shots and we missed like 3 empty nets.
Stealing one in a visiting barn is huge in a 7game series, Nashville brings momentum back to an enthusiastic crowd, every series is entertaining and I’d love to see Edm -Van division final, show Tocchet the difference between a regular season series and a playoff series
He truely pisses me off. He always has a smug look to him as well. Like get out there and hussle you free loader! He's worth league minimum these past 2 games.
I've been a Canucks fan since their inception, over the years us old timers have fallen back on a saying you young'uns should get acquainted with; 'There's always next year'.
Haha...I like that! I heard it for the 28 some odd years I lived in the Vancouver area. Been saying it myself, then I moved away now I don't have to keep repeating myself, in regards to my leaving Vancouver. As for the Canucks....yeah I guess there is always next year! But they need someone loud with playoff series winning experience inside that room. Not just Tocchet. Thinking about it 🤔 like maybe a Cory Perry type man...not just boys!
I stopped following the Canuck’s after the 2011 Stanley cup loss. I jumped back on the band wagon this year but I fully expect disappointment. I will never get my hopes up until I actually see them lifting the cup and that’s just the reality of being a Canucks fan.
Petterson had one of the worst games. The first chance with the goalie down and out he chosed to make a stupid pass that only a few can handle. Then he misses a wide open net on the 2nd chance. Then he turns over the puck on Preds 3rd goal. Then the rest of the game he just mishandles pucks and loses them in the offensive goal. TERRIBLE.
In defense of DeSmith I can tell he was nervous trying to fill in for Demko, and he did okay it wasn't entirely his fault. The main problem for this game was Canucks god awful power play and it's like they lost steam and commitment after they couldn't score having 3+ power plays. Petterson couldn't wake up tonight either, the whole team fell asleep in the 3rd. Good job to Nashville though, their defense is strong as hell, this is going to be a fun series.
It's the most pathetic and lazy form of criticism that people are laying onto him. What about the 0/4 powerplays?? What about all those penalties the likes of Zadorov took?? What about Pettersson's performance?? What about the defensive lapses that led to the goals? What about the fact that they had over 80 shots but had 40% of them blocked? What about the fact that they only ended up with about 18-19 on goal? What about the fact that again, they take far too long to create scoring chances, allowing the opposition to set their defence? We always blame DeSmith, and it's driving me insane.
@@conorcahill5422 Canucks scored one goal. You are not going to win a lot of games with one goal. Pettersson missed 2 empty nets. He's suppose to be winning games for Canucks, but he's costing them, by not scoring and worst of all, costing goals against.
@@conorcahill5422 i feel like people who blame specifically the goalie for the game are the casuals who don’t know much of hockey, it’s easy to blame the goalie on everything. I’d agree a healthy Demko would’ve performed better, but a lot of people act like DeSmith did terrible, he didn’t. You’re correct on the those other points, Petterson’s performance, canucks power play, and it felt like every shot canucks took wasn’t thought out, they just took a lazy shot everytime after the 1st period while the predators were locked in on that defense.
empty stands in Vancouver, why is it that they don’t believe in the team? in Winnipeg, sold out Edmonton Stadium is packed with spectators, super support=Kings torn apart
@@trobertw Than you haven't been invested much. There is always that mention of the riot, getting pretty boring. You obviously haven't seen soccer fans in Europe. You live and die with your team and you riot when the situation calls for it.
I mean you could try and not hang DeSmith out to dry so often. Of the three goals he let in one was a tip, another was letting Forsberg walk right in and the last one the puck cleared the zone and then Petterson passed it backwards to the preds. In a game when you needed your defence to be as tight as possible they totally blew it, even with the tip still going in then it's a 1-1 game at the end of the third.
Desmith can play some nights, he’s learning how to handle the pressure of being our starter. You’re absolutely right it’s not all on him, we had a lot of chances to score and we just couldn’t put them in. Demko is like the backbone of this team though and I imagine it did have some impact on the players hearing the bad news. But it’s gonna take more than goaltending to win the series. We will see how Casey does in game 3. I don’t expect the same result. Some positives were the pressure we were putting on Nashville’s defense, keeping the play going. Nashville blocked 31 shots. And they were quicker and more collected this game. It should still be a close series.
Just another fake fan, its only the second game and you act like they lost, i will be more concerned if they lose 3, but right now its tied 1-1 /7 , Canucks had this happen in 2011 also and pushed through multiple teams , nothing ventured nothing gained.
We needed to trade him that's what we needed to do. This is the NHL. He's got no heart, balls or grit in his game. How can he succeed. And his stupid helmet looks ridiculous on him it actually makes me mad 😂😂
Let go Nash! Wasn’t the greatest game. Not a bad first period. A really good second period. And a whole team effort in the third. We got some work to do. Glad we got the W! Let’s go back home and get some more!💛💙
That third period was definitely something not the usual way we play a third just blocking shots the entire time but it worked. Hopefully SMASHVILLE can be alive for them Friday.
Preds showed how opportunistic they can be. Tremendous discipline. But they will have to get more of the play to win 4. 13 shots on goal will not do it every night.
There is nothing wrong with him. That's just petey. Lazy and soft. He sure robbed the Canucks with his new contract. He's one of the worst players on the team right now.
Alright I’ll say it. 1. Props to Nashville, your D structure is basically flawless. 2. Petterson is actually a liability. He tries to be too cute. Refuses to shoot. Falls down. Gives the puck away. But most importantly just seems to be unable to play fast paced hockey. With time and space he’s a great player. Without it he looks like an ahl player.
He's coming from SHL, bigger rink, more space and more time. Petey adapted quite fast in his rookie days, but lately he has always been a step behind. Petey's ability was to read the game, but lately it just seems he's not able to.
Nashvilles D structure is flawless lol? They looked like absolute garbage, literally any other team in the playoffs would be up 2-0 and would have annihilated Nashville 7-0 this game. You just blow
@@Nic_Garscum dude they blocked so many shots it wasn’t even funny. They kept most other shots to the outside and were aggressive at the point. Half our zone time is just cycling the perimeter until we force a shot or get stripped.
yall r crazy, lindholm is so much more consistant, hes not a highlights guy but hes doing everything, killing penalties, forechecking, playmaking, defence, kuzy is exciting and fun but way too streaky. only reason u guys r saying the trade was a mistake is cuz you guys only watch the highlights
It's not like the Canucks played poorly. The Predators spent about 70% of the game hemmed into their own end. Amd the Canucks had at LEAST 3 "Onigod how did you possibly miss that?!?!" scoring opportunities tonight. The shots just weren't going in tonight, that's all. We'll get them on Friday.
Totally agree, this game reminds me of when we played the golden knights in the series where they out played us badly and we somehow stayed in but the better team prevailed. Clearly the Canucks are a super deep team and it’s not just dependant on our goalie we had a lot of chances but it didn’t go our way and that’s hockey. We will get em on Friday. Just believe we got this
The Canucks performed way below their usual level. To a man. Even Hughes and JT Miller weren't connecting on passes, were fanning on shots etc. Add to that a frustrating "collapse on net, get bodies and sticks in shooting lanes" flawless strategy from Nashville and a bunch of really unlucky bounces and that's how the game was lost. As they've done throughout the season, they'll re-focus and bounce back. Looking forward to Game 3. There's a whole lot of hockey left to play and honestly, it's ridiculous seeing so many of these ignorant comments saying it's over already. The series is tied 1-1, it's not like it's 3-0! LOL
@@NeilEvery I was also wondering about what the ice quality was like last night as well. I've never seen so many guys completely lose their footing and fall while just skating.
empty stands in Vancouver, why is it that they don’t believe in the team? in Winnipeg, sold out Edmonton Stadium is packed with spectators, super support=Kings torn apart!!!!!!!!!
He may not be ready for playoffs, but there is potential. The guy helped us get here at least. I know there is potential because we saw a much better version of him in 2020 in the playoffs. I was more in favor of trading him than paying that money. But we did, so maybe he will develop into the player we want him to. There is still plenty of time in the series. It's still tied.
It's a rule the Canuck player brought it back into the zone. "Offside is nullified if the defending team carries or passes the puck back into their defensive zone".
nice of the Canucks team finally show up half way through the 3rd. 11.6$ missed 2 wide open nets on the pp.. 1st, saucer passed it to the corner well over every teammate, the 2nd, completely missing the net... and lets not get into the brutal giveaway that lead to the 3rd strangle hold goal. This guy has been a complete liability on the ice since signing his new shiny contact and tonight was by far the worse ive seen form him since donning a Canucks uniform.. Loui Eriksson 2.0 CLEARLY in the making. would rather see brad Hunt suit up instead of this waste... only bright spot on the ice tonight was Zadorov, what a beast.
You don't go from missing the play-off's to winning the cup the next year, its rather delusional to think that way. Vancouver had a stellar year for sure, I was waiting for the tires to fall off the bus but it never came. Thank the coach for sure with that one, keeping his team focused. This series isn't over yet. get it done Canucks... I want to see Oilers vs Canucks in round two.
Please explain, why third Nashville goal is not offside? Because it was Vancouver player who sent puck into his own zone where already was Nashvile player?
Glad I listened to this one on the radio instead of staying up to watch it. It's piss poor to blame De Smith entirely for the loss. Nashville played a better game and the Canucks were missing a lot of key opportunities.
It's a series for a reason, PLAYOFFS!!! Anyway Desmith gets game 3 and if we lose its all up to Silovs going forward. Petey needs to figure this out. GO canucks!
@@CODLAKAI97 the Canucks need help from experienced playoff guys, accustomed to winning a series. A guy with voice! Btw...having lived in that city for 28 yrs I have watched more than a game or two.
master class 1v5 for quinn hughes as the rest of the team doesn’t know where the net is. however good pressure in the 3rd, most likely from a tocchet talk in the second intermission, hopefully a rally will be made as we regroup when we meet them in nashville
Apparently he may miss the rest of the series with a knee injury it was reported but yes it was reported he was injured and didn’t participate in practice
Petey wasn’t even targeted by the Preds, like Hughes was by the LTIR Cheaters during the 2020 playoffs, and he still wasn’t even able to make himself noticeable on the ice.
The Predators on average scored every four shots on goal and the Canucks could only get 18 shots to the net. Nashville blocked 30 shots in a herculean defensive effort that allowed Predators goaltender Saros to earn a .944 SV% highlighted by an incredible pad save.
He got injured in game one of the playoffs I think it’s either his knee or groin but it’s a different injury than before. I heard it’s from a split save he made.
Косатки вам не повезло. Надо собраться и не раскисать, болею за вас и надеюсь на победу!!! Ванкувер вперед и больше голов в ворота противников!!!!! Играть надо очень по взрослому!!!
As a lifelong Canucks fan, I really hate seeing how easily swayed and hot/cold our fans can be. We win one? "Stanley Cup here we come!" Lose one? "Our season is over!!!" It was a hard fought game and the bounces really didn't go our way. Consider the psychological effect of Demko getting injured that morning. We still have a ton of potential and this series is far from over. Y'all need to stop crying after each loss.
I like how whenever the road team scores, the crowd goes so silent you can hear what the players are saying after

@@Sam-ty6ho he got like 16 pts in the last 9 games for you guys didn’t he…….Conroy absolutely fleeced Alvin.
Кузя хорошо играл в паре с Петерсеном и эту пару надо было развивать.
It's not like the Canucks played poorly.
The Predators spent about 70% of the game hemmed into their own end.
Amd the Canucks had at LEAST 3 "Onigod how did you possibly miss that?!?!" scoring opportunities tonight.
The shots just weren't going in tonight, that's all.
We'll get them on Friday.
Totally agree, this game reminds me of when we played the golden knights in the series where they out played us badly and we somehow stayed in but the better team prevailed. Clearly the Canucks are a super deep team and it’s not just dependant on our goalie we had a lot of chances but it didn’t go our way and that’s hockey. We will get em on Friday. Just believe we got this
Mate the shots haven't been going in for months.
@@juliomang But we've been winning.
That's the much more important result.
The Canucks performed way below their usual level. To a man. Even Hughes and JT Miller weren't connecting on passes, were fanning on shots etc. Add to that a frustrating "collapse on net, get bodies and sticks in shooting lanes" flawless strategy from Nashville and a bunch of really unlucky bounces and that's how the game was lost. As they've done throughout the season, they'll re-focus and bounce back. Looking forward to Game 3. There's a whole lot of hockey left to play and honestly, it's ridiculous seeing so many of these ignorant comments saying it's over already. The series is tied 1-1, it's not like it's 3-0! LOL
@@NeilEvery I was also wondering about what the ice quality was like last night as well.
I've never seen so many guys completely lose their footing and fall while just skating.
What a disastrous game, We smoked the boards and smoked people all game. Our top line is not playing like a top line at all.
Pros: 80 shot attempts
Cons: 1 goal
empty stands in Vancouver, why is it that they don’t believe in the team?
in Winnipeg, sold out
Edmonton Stadium is packed with spectators, super support=Kings torn apart!!!!!!!!!
Как будто Задоров один играл!!!
Can't really blame DeSmith when the defense in front of him was shocking. As for EP40, dropping him for game 3 might be the wake up call he needs.
DeSmith belongs in the AHL! Can’t really blame the offence when your goalie is letting in the first shot he faces. It’s a huge morale killer.
Defo needs dropped, for the sake of the team if anything, total liability both ways.
Petey is such a baby! This contract is gonna kill us!
He is no Sedin that is for sure!
Loui Eriksson 2.0
He's lazy and soft! Absolutely no balls on him too. Idc if he has his clutch moments. He's not worth more than 3 million that's for sure.
He may not be ready for playoffs, but there is potential. The guy helped us get here at least. I know there is potential because we saw a much better version of him in 2020 in the playoffs. I was more in favor of trading him than paying that money. But we did, so maybe he will develop into the player we want him to. There is still plenty of time in the series. It's still tied.
@shoresy4084 Marner and Nylander are way above Petey. Marner makes some great passes and Nylander has excellent puck movement up the ice.
They should get Silovs some playoff experience before its too late. Desmith can’t hold onto a puck
Vancouver fans blaming Desmith is the epic fun.
This was painful to watch. So many close calls from the Canucks. The biggest ones were 1:40, 6:39, 8:06, and 8:31.
DeSmith deserves better.
1:40 Petterson knows he needed that. Hopefully he’ll start producing
Let’s go Preds!! Bring it home now. We will show you home atmosphere
Yes it’ll be great for them especially the players that have never experienced home fans during the playoffs. SMASHVILLE better be alive on Friday
Hey Canuck fans, be sure to try the hot chicken when you come to Nashville
What’s with all the power plays it’s crazy how many there calling this year
Why is the 3rd goal not offside?
It's a rule the Canuck player brought it back into the zone. "Offside is nullified if the defending team carries or passes the puck back into their defensive zone".
Get Demko in there!
nice of the Canucks team finally show up half way through the 3rd. 11.6$ missed 2 wide open nets on the pp.. 1st, saucer passed it to the corner well over every teammate, the 2nd, completely missing the net... and lets not get into the brutal giveaway that lead to the 3rd strangle hold goal. This guy has been a complete liability on the ice since signing his new shiny contact and tonight was by far the worse ive seen form him since donning a Canucks uniform.. Loui Eriksson 2.0 CLEARLY in the making. would rather see brad Hunt suit up instead of this waste... only bright spot on the ice tonight was Zadorov, what a beast.
couldnt have said it better.
Даже палено стреляет раз в год😂😂😂
You don't go from missing the play-off's to winning the cup the next year, its rather delusional to think that way. Vancouver had a stellar year for sure, I was waiting for the tires to fall off the bus but it never came. Thank the coach for sure with that one, keeping his team focused. This series isn't over yet. get it done Canucks... I want to see Oilers vs Canucks in round two.
BEHIND EVERY GREAT VICTORY IS A HARD FOUGHT BATTLE Canucks are a good team keep fighting
Please explain, why third Nashville goal is not offside? Because it was Vancouver player who sent puck into his own zone where already was Nashvile player?
they cleared the zone before touching it
This is a good series
Can we rent Bobrovsky for the rest of the playoffs?
......на воротник
Glad I listened to this one on the radio instead of staying up to watch it. It's piss poor to blame De Smith entirely for the loss. Nashville played a better game and the Canucks were missing a lot of key opportunities.
Home ice advantage is not a factor in today's NHL. They should stop mentioning it.
Goaltending wins series and goaltending loses series. That's what this game shows.
I think we should have kept slapping it from the blue line,, clearly working.
ohhhhh so that’s what the islanders wanted to do 😂
hell of a road playoff performance
It's a series for a reason, PLAYOFFS!!! Anyway Desmith gets game 3 and if we lose its all up to Silovs going forward. Petey needs to figure this out.
GO canucks!
Who is this Petey guy...your friend?
Silovs should get game 3, 4, 5 and 6 if required
@@PeterJ16 Clearly you don't watch the Canucks,
@@CODLAKAI97 the Canucks need help from experienced playoff guys, accustomed to winning a series. A guy with voice!
Btw...having lived in that city for 28 yrs I have watched more than a game or two.
master class 1v5 for quinn hughes as the rest of the team doesn’t know where the net is.
however good pressure in the 3rd, most likely from a tocchet talk in the second intermission, hopefully a rally will be made as we regroup when we meet them in nashville
I see it's possible...Nashville did that tonight.
But we are talking about the Canucks.
Not too disheartened by the shoreline. Canucks had PLENTY of shots but looked one dimensional. Think we take one of the games in Nashville
This game was a crime against hockey... can't believe how little action there was.
Surprised the fans there stayed awake.
That's how the Canucks play. Low event boring hockey
Damn neither team reached 20 Shots on goal
53 sounds better if the preds skaters didn’t block 33! 🤯
If I was only given that blocked shot stat and no other information, I’d be safe to say Preds won
Regroup boys get it back Friday
Is Demko injured?
Apparently he may miss the rest of the series with a knee injury it was reported but yes it was reported he was injured and didn’t participate in practice
@@Astrea946 not knee, groin
Yes and a different one than before
Petey wasn’t even targeted by the Preds, like Hughes was by the LTIR Cheaters during the 2020 playoffs, and he still wasn’t even able to make himself noticeable on the ice.
Lets go Preds!!!!!
The Predators on average scored every four shots on goal and the Canucks could only get 18 shots to the net.
Nashville blocked 30 shots in a herculean defensive effort that allowed Predators goaltender Saros to earn a .944 SV% highlighted by an incredible pad save.
Elias Pettersson's subpar performance lately reminds me of an over-paid, under-achieving Swede named Louie Ericksson.
Man, I wanted the Canucks to win
Let's Go Preds!
What’s Demoks injury?? Wasn’t he playing in their last game of the season??
He got injured in game one of the playoffs I think it’s either his knee or groin but it’s a different injury than before. I heard it’s from a split save he made.
Good job Predators😍
34 Shots on goal for both teams combined lol
Was this game even entertaining?
13 SOG for Nashville!! Goaltending wins championships
And three Canadian team are series tied 1-1 hopefully oilers can go up 2-0 tmw 😁 LGO
If only every Canadian team would get eliminated in the first round. That would rule.
You know they will.
@@elitetrader5468...haha
Sour puss!
Фортуна улыбалась Нэшвиллу.
Great game Petey! Can't hit an open net, might as well cough it up for a Preds goal. Next game just shoot it past DeSmith. 12mil my ass.
He already shot it past DeSmith once tonight lol
Косатки вам не повезло.
Надо собраться и не раскисать, болею за вас и надеюсь на победу!!!
Ванкувер вперед и больше голов в ворота противников!!!!!
Играть надо очень по взрослому!!!
720p? Is this 2009?
Did the preds even get a shot for the last half of the game? (Besides the empty net) it was good while it lasted, better luck next year I hope.
Night of unfortunate bounces. Canucks got Preds exactly where they want them, thinking they got a chance. Lol!
As a lifelong Canucks fan, I really hate seeing how easily swayed and hot/cold our fans can be. We win one? "Stanley Cup here we come!" Lose one? "Our season is over!!!"
It was a hard fought game and the bounces really didn't go our way. Consider the psychological effect of Demko getting injured that morning. We still have a ton of potential and this series is far from over.
Y'all need to stop crying after each loss.
Desmith is a backup goalie. Always has been. If demko doesn’t come back bad for canucks
Both teams looked kinda slow .... Nuks looked sloppy as well. The ice at Rogers is def not the best.
Hughes and big Z were definitely standing out today. What Hughes does with the puck at the blue line is beautiful to watch.
4:50 did Pettersson put in his own net ?!?!?
Go Preds go, surely every neutrals favourite?
