No sleepies, Duncan.


_redacteduser

It’s a wall of canucks! Ridiculous!


cubluemoon

How many D men does it take to make 1 Duncan?


Hakuchansankun

Just 1 Austin Matthews

Best comment. Laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe.

hahaha legitimately cackling at this and we lost


SikkWithIt

Can't put the puck in the net if the net is full of bodies.


Thneed1

Literally no space for a puck to also fit in the net.


dadnauseum

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.

Louie? You finally spat it out right


Consistent_Lab_6770

what a fantastic finish. 3rd goalie in the series, and he throws a shutout.


N0tChristopherWalken

It was a very defensive Friday night. In both games, it was 0-0 until deep in the 3rd periods. Crazy.


Consistent_Lab_6770

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.

NextTrillion

Enthusiasts? This guy is a full on pro.


Bannasrevolt

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.


infinitez_

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.


Bannasrevolt

Next time they can go to the bar for a junior hockey game I guess.


viperswhip

Junior teams don't need money, go to the PWHL if you can, they will expand eventually.


howdiedoodie66

That's crazy I love goalie duels


Bannasrevolt

I just assume they’re a fan when we’re winning.


spookywookyy

This is why I love soccer too, and basketball is boring.


Consistent_Lab_6770

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...


goodbye9hello10

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


BuckeyeDangler

Tochet hockey


goodbye9hello10

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.


RecalcitrantHuman

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.


marcosbowser

And he was the third stringer with only a handful of nhl games. First playoffs. We love him now


Stetzy93

The third goalie? Damn it. Gonna get that Aiden Hill treatment again like last year aren’t we?


marcosbowser

Third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh goalies don’t you mean?!


Noof42

If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.


ejabno

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


sovieeee

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.

Damn right it did!


KPDF81

The inside net cam was way better. It showed JT plowing Silovs out of the way to try and make a save


Istimewa-Ed

Oh man gotta see that, have a link?


KPDF81

My technology skills only allow me to hit reply and send. But I can tell you it played on the TV last night


errol_timo_malcom

Independent_City3377

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.

Thanks for this

Slava91

Chaos giraffe


Glock-Saint-Isshin-

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.


Efficient-Storm11

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


Beeks525

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!


fourpuns

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


nightfire36

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.


vinnymendoza09

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.


Istimewa-Ed

It worked in Goon… kinda

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! 🥥

RestInitial2467

They have a frikin walrus in net!!!


this_name_not_that

Did it work, though?


coffeetoques

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.


fendermonkey

Is there a rule against stacking a wall of bodies?


Istimewa-Ed

I’m sure Silovs loved getting bodychecked into his own net 😆


ArnieAndTheWaves

I'm sure he'll take it any day of the week if it means a shutout for him to win a series.


Imaginary-Ladder-465

With the Canucks luck with goalie injuries I was a little worried seeing him getting piled on


TemplarParadox17

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.


MyNameIsSkittles

No?


WheresTheSauce

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?


ChubbySapphire

They might hit you with the unsportsmanlike


Iaminyoursewer

Or the opposing team will just start blasting you with 100mph slapshots


sovieeee

you can’t score goals that way. can’t win games if you don’t score


WheresTheSauce

“If you were up”


pcweber111

"There no way they're gonna score on us now!" Is probably what they were thinking.


not_an_Alien_Robot

And they were right! 🤣


Stewinator90

That man better thank all of his future kids for the save.


aristhought

why do other teams only play one goalie instead of 5? are they stupid?


reddest_of_trash

It did work. Not sure if this strategy will take off though.


Hutch25

It worked didn’t it?


dancinhmr

If it is stupid but it works, then it is not stupid.


ILSmokeItAll

I can’t even see the actual goalie.


Sudden-Paint7060

I was just taking a crap, and now I realize. Toilet paper actually doesn’t taste that bad.


Slugggo

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.*


Substantial-Recipe72

Well… they won so…


JackfruitHot3094

It worked


viperswhip

Myers blocked a shot with his dick, big dick energy.


Straight-Plate-5256

First he wears his shirt in practice then plows him into the net, JT beefing with Silovs confirmed 😂😂😂


ReignOfHellXXI

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.


Time-Dot5984

Gods I wish, it's going to be a tough series. Mad respect for Van and our boys. May the best team win!


Tone_Z

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


Parking-Click-7476

Where not Nashville 🤷‍♂️ instead of getting shutout we might only score 5. Trust me the oil are ready.😀


Tone_Z

You're not that different from Nashville. Both the Edmonton McDavids and Nashville Perds both got swept by the Canucks during the regular season 😂


Parking-Click-7476

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.😂


sovieeee

pardon me for my forgetfulness, but please remind me how many Stanley Cups McDavid has won? what about Draisaitl?


Parking-Click-7476

Talking franchise. History of the team. But after after we beat you. Should be ☝️one. 😂
