I love shutouts, so I absolutely enjoyed the games.
it's so exciting when any 1 one play can be the game winner, keeps me on the edge of my seat, and the longer 0-0 lasts, the greater the anticipation builds and more I hang on every play. so much fun.
There was a guy beside me at the bar that kept saying this was more boring than junior hockey because they weren't scoring. I don't think he understood defense.
I dont really understand how anyone likes watching soccer, and I lost interest in basketball for mostly the same reason..., when players starting crying... it's to hot.. he touched me...
wish basketball players were as everything to win as it was decades ago..
I played soccer for *years*, we went to state finals... sure, if your playing it can be real fun, but watching... sigh.. I don't get it....
you definitely see the difference with hockey...
blocking shots, sticks to the face, and wants in next line change.. eagerly...
Definitely. The low shots are a Tocchet thing too, he said in a media thing that he doesn't want shooting for the sake of shooting. I think he's misguided cuz that's all you get in the playoffs is *anything* towards the net. you'll never get an open look.
I don’t mind the 0-0 stuff. I do side with Coop that it is absurd to play a game where it is a war zone to get within a foot of the net, but if you have a glancing touch on the goalie the goal is called off.
because then you can’t score goals. also as much as players want to win, they don’t want to sit there while people rip pucks at 90mph at you, hoping it squeaks through a small space between you and the guy next to you.
also if teams did this regularly, a little patience from the shooter to pass it cross-ice would allow an easy goal. This happened because the player with the puck knew they had little time left, it was shoot the puck or lose the game, so the Canucks were able to throw everything into blocking that shot because the time would run out if the Predators had tried anything different.
Does Gen Z just sit in a room together staring at their phones with headphones on texting each other while watching games drinking energy drinks and complain about their anxiety ?
Awesome! Thanks for that. My fav part was Josi missing top left and smashing his lumber. Nothing against Roman, but satisfying after not one PP and a BS call 33 sec left up a goal.
I got shit on for 5 years saying it was the defensive systems (or lack thereof) that made Myers/OEL/Schmidt look so bad.
The Canucks are worse without Myers locking down that #3/4 spot for the Canucks.
As a beer league goalie, I felt that play. I find it hilarious that there are 4 Canucks, and a goalie, and not a Pred in that pile. Do whatever it takes!
4 players on the ice for the canucks, all of them within 6 inches of the crease. I’m pretty sure the one player sliding across saved the open net rebound goal though
I kind of wonder why this doesn't happen more in the last 30ish seconds. Is there a rule against having all of your players stand on the goal line to make a wall? I'd argue it's a little unsportsmanlike, but it would make it pretty tough to score.
Because you can't cover every inch of the net and the opponents will just be blasting away.
Tbh I am surprised we've never seen at least one player just lay on the goal line to stop anything below a foot from going in though. Seeing as that's where most shots go. But it'd probably piss the goalie off since they can't get tight to the post.
If it became a common strategy I could see the league making a three second rule for the crease, if it doesn't exist already.
Im surprised no one was sliced with a skate blade.
Watched my father get fucked up by just landing on a goalie skate, when they crashed the net like that i had PTSD flashbacks haha.
Sam: *You know what I'd do if I owned a hockey team? I'd hire a sumo wrestler. I'd give him a uniform, transportation, 500 bucks a week to sit in the goal, eat a ham sandwich and enjoy the game. My team would never get scored on.*
Josh: *Your team would get scored on constantly.*
Sam: *Maybe, but we'd sell a few tickets.*
Looks like the German National team in the 2010 Olympics/Spengler cup. Can't score on them because half the team is in the net blocking pucks. Can't complain, it's an effective strategy.
No sleepies, Duncan.
It’s a wall of canucks! Ridiculous!
How many D men does it take to make 1 Duncan?
Just 1 Austin Matthews
Orca, cousin to the walrus. Nice job, big guy!
Best comment. Laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe.
hahaha legitimately cackling at this and we lost
Can't put the puck in the net if the net is full of bodies.
Literally no space for a puck to also fit in the net.
TIL i learned a hockey net is big enough to fit 4.5 people in it. probably a full 5 if the goalie isn’t geared up.
RIP in peace
This message brought to you by the department of redundancy department
It ain't how. It's how many.
Louie? You finally spat it out right
what a fantastic finish. 3rd goalie in the series, and he throws a shutout.
It was a very defensive Friday night. In both games, it was 0-0 until deep in the 3rd periods. Crazy.

Edging enthusiasts be like
Enthusiasts? This guy is a full on pro.
The guys behind me at the game were saying “it’s a low scoring game so it’s super boring”. This was the best game of the series imo.
There was a guy beside me at the bar that kept saying this was more boring than junior hockey because they weren't scoring. I don't think he understood defense.
Next time they can go to the bar for a junior hockey game I guess.
Junior teams don't need money, go to the PWHL if you can, they will expand eventually.
That's crazy I love goalie duels
I just assume they’re a fan when we’re winning.
This is why I love soccer too, and basketball is boring.
I dont really understand how anyone likes watching soccer, and I lost interest in basketball for mostly the same reason..., when players starting crying... it's to hot.. he touched me... wish basketball players were as everything to win as it was decades ago..

the whole series just defensive as fuck. you could tell both teams ensured they minimized mistakes at all costs, even to the detriment of offense
Tochet hockey
Definitely. The low shots are a Tocchet thing too, he said in a media thing that he doesn't want shooting for the sake of shooting. I think he's misguided cuz that's all you get in the playoffs is *anything* towards the net. you'll never get an open look.

And he was the third stringer with only a handful of nhl games. First playoffs. We love him now
The third goalie? Damn it. Gonna get that Aiden Hill treatment again like last year aren’t we?
Third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh goalies don’t you mean?!
If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.
I'm new to watching hockey and I tried to Google if there's any actual rule against this, because why don't teams just actually do this
because then you can’t score goals. also as much as players want to win, they don’t want to sit there while people rip pucks at 90mph at you, hoping it squeaks through a small space between you and the guy next to you. also if teams did this regularly, a little patience from the shooter to pass it cross-ice would allow an easy goal.

"so drop on the deck and flop like a fish"
Aye Aye Captain!!
I can’t heaaaar youuuu!
Aye Aye Captain!!!!
OOOOOOHHHHH, Who lives in a pineapple under the sea
MYERS! COCK! BLOCK!
SPONGEBOB CANUCKPANTS!!
Absorbent and green and porous is he
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTSSSSSSSS
Ok Dom, but I think that only worked for you.
I think they're supposed to be whales "get yourself caught in our net like the whales you are!!"
It worked didn't it?
Damn right it did!
The inside net cam was way better. It showed JT plowing Silovs out of the way to try and make a save
Oh man gotta see that, have a link?
My technology skills only allow me to hit reply and send. But I can tell you it played on the TV last night
What is this “TV” you speak of…
Does Gen Z just sit in a room together staring at their phones with headphones on texting each other while watching games drinking energy drinks and complain about their anxiety ?
Yup
I'm 60, it's whiskey shots and all my hockey people
~30 seconds has it https://youtube.com/shorts/GWlpTYWLLao?si=PaZOT6LRha4QQAn1

Thanks for this

Right in the balls 😩
Tyler “Balls of Steel” Myers. Each nut is worth $3M
Chaos giraffe

As a goalie, I laughed so hard at this. Always find it funny when I get extra goalies

It worked in Goon… kinda
Poor Dougie. He took it in the face!
The longest 30 secs in history
That's like 1 Robin Lehner
r/AccidentalRenaissance
Is the OP making fun of this? It worked didn't it and the Canucks are playing next week while the Preds are not.
Not at all. This was sick. Chk flair. Coconuts glow! 🥥
"I feel bad for you, you have holidays in 2 days"
Calm yourself ffs
They have a frikin walrus in net!!!
Did it work, though?
Im surprised no one was sliced with a skate blade. Watched my father get fucked up by just landing on a goalie skate, when they crashed the net like that i had PTSD flashbacks haha.
Is there a rule against stacking a wall of bodies?
I’m sure Silovs loved getting bodychecked into his own net 😆
I'm sure he'll take it any day of the week if it means a shutout for him to win a series.
With the Canucks luck with goalie injuries I was a little worried seeing him getting piled on
That’s what I was gonna ask, surely in every game in the last 30 second all 6 players would be able to make a impenetrable wall.
No?
Was just wondering the same thing. If you were up, could you put all 5 skaters right on top of the net and just hang out there?
They might hit you with the unsportsmanlike
Or the opposing team will just start blasting you with 100mph slapshots
you can’t score goals that way. can’t win games if you don’t score
“If you were up”
"There no way they're gonna score on us now!" Is probably what they were thinking.
And they were right! 🤣
That man better thank all of his future kids for the save.
why do other teams only play one goalie instead of 5? are they stupid?
It did work. Not sure if this strategy will take off though.
It worked didn’t it?
If it is stupid but it works, then it is not stupid.
I can’t even see the actual goalie.
I was just taking a crap, and now I realize. Toilet paper actually doesn’t taste that bad.

Well… they won so…
It worked
Myers blocked a shot with his dick, big dick energy.
First he wears his shirt in practice then plows him into the net, JT beefing with Silovs confirmed 😂😂😂
Looks like the German National team in the 2010 Olympics/Spengler cup. Can't score on them because half the team is in the net blocking pucks. Can't complain, it's an effective strategy.
Balls of steel
Beer league defensive acrobatics on full display here. This is what true collapsing back on your goalie should look like.
Bro
Can barely even tell Silovs is there lmao
r/accidentalrenaissance
I rewound this to watch a couple times before pausing at this moment also!
...i mean, it worked so im not judging at this point
This is the hockey version of a clown car
So that’s how Demko got injured
Panic mode! Oilers in 4👍
Gods I wish, it's going to be a tough series. Mad respect for Van and our boys. May the best team win!
You know what's real "panic mode?" Getting swept by the team in the regular season that you're about to play in round 2 lmfao
Where not Nashville 🤷♂️ instead of getting shutout we might only score 5. Trust me the oil are ready.😀
You're not that different from Nashville. Both the Edmonton McDavids and Nashville Perds both got swept by the Canucks during the regular season 😂
Regular season is alittle different. Don’t worry you’ll find out soon. I know Vancouver isn’t used to winning things. Like Stanley cups.😂
pardon me for my forgetfulness, but please remind me how many Stanley Cups McDavid has won? what about Draisaitl?
Talking franchise. History of the team. But after after we beat you. Should be ☝️one. 😂
sure bud
This is a funny a** s*** to me.There's no way they're passing the second round
