the atmosphere in rogers is actually nuts

Lindholm came up huge! He snipes the Canucks first goal, then taking the body behind the net, he creates the turnover that allowed Garland to feed Joshua. That line is a beauty!

Absolutely electric atmosphere. Teams are not going to want to play at Rogers Arena.

Zadorov has been the most underrated Canuck imo. Joshua and Garland are huge but they get the credit. Big Z laying huge hits, playing defensively well and even contributing to dangerous offence. He deserves more love

Flames fan here honestly happy for Lindy and Zadorov. Canucks are my team for the playoffs let's go!!!

You should've heard the crowd tonight. Loudest I've ever heard at Rogers Arena by a wide margin.

Demko with the save of the playoffs! It's going to be hard to beat that one. Lindholm, Joshua and Garland were amazing. Rogers Arena was rocking!

Trying not to get my hopes up too high…but Canucks had the scoring depth, great looks, AMAZING saves, paralyzing physicality, and didn’t lose their cool. AWESOME win, on to game 2!!

Demko at the end with a calm look of "Just 15 more".

Best playoff season I've watched in years, these home crowds across the league are rockin' with energy

I love when Shorthouse is the caller! What a great first game! Go Canucks Go!!!

Lindholm had just a great game....This is why the Canucks got him......He opens up the scoring and then lays a heavy hit in the offensive zone so the puck could come out to Joshua.....A lot of players deserve credit....Zadorov's name kept coming up too....We're gonna need his heavy hits for the rest of the playoffs...

Joshua & Garland were on a mission tonight!! Relentless pressure applied in the 3rd period by the Canucks & a huge comeback win to take a 1-0 series lead!! LET'S GO!!

That energy at rogers arena was amazing. Love the tenacity of the Canucks. Time to rest up, and get ready for game 2

What a come back win! Go Canucks Go!!

proud of our boys tonight

I waited 9 years to have that experience and it was incredible.

Most fun I ever ever had at a game. The atmosphere was awesome.

Holy mackinaw, Vancouver Canucks fans are loud and awesome.. something you'd never see in Leafs land.

That was WILD. And this is only GAME 1. This series is going to be a classic, no question. What an incredible performance from one of the most unlikely heroes on the team in Dak!!!!

The energy level of the Canucks is fantastic.

I always like it when a goal interrupts the announcement of the previous goal.

Holy hell were the boys nervous in the first half of that game Thank god we have Quinn and Millsy to step up GoCanucksGo🥳🥳

Garland, Lindholm Joshua. WoW!

Canucks set the tone early with a hard hitting start and an incredible stop by Demko. Went from a dry game to an electrifying finish. Go Canucks Go!

Dakota Joshua for Prime Minister! If we had a Joshua on every line we would be unstoppable

15 WINS TO GO!!!

one of the most electric crowds in hockey

Attended my first playoff game ever and boy was it worth it 🔥 It was everything I expected and more! Go Canucks Go

There was so many things to take away from tonight… lindholm showing us why we traded for him… Hughes showing us why he’s our captain by tying it up and turning it around, the amazing resilience from the team despite refs against us all night with their soft calls + being down 2-1… and Dakota Joshua…. BEAST

What an intimidating building That atmosphere is crazy!

Rangers fan here, happy for the Nucks. They've waited a long time for this. A part of me is rooting for both of us to make it all the way, a '94 rematch 30 years later would be sick

Ванкувер , с победой!! ! Началась жара! !!! Любителям НХЛ каждый за свою команду!!!! Удачи всем вам!!!!

Zadorov also played impactful. EP needs some EPO!

As a preds fan I’m blown away we even kept it that close. Expecting 5 games. Vancouver is a goooooood team

The spine-tingling atmosphere after Joshua's winner, the nerves while watching it all... God I missed this so much. Playoff hockey in Vancouver > *

I'm almost happier for Dakota Joshua than I am for the win!😅 love that dude's energy!! Playoff MVP, you heard it here first 🤘😎

What a win GO CANUCKS GOOOOO

Was at this game, holy hell was it loud! So great to have playoff hockey back. Even Kevin James and chad kroeger were there. James was hyping it up

Stunning 12-second sequence that elevated Vancouver to victory. Don't expect Nashville to go down easily, though. Canucks in 7.

So glad we get Shorty for at least this series.

I was at the game, god was it deafening in there. Plus a great hit fest by the Canucks. AWESOME fight back in period 3. Hope top 6 show up more, keep throwing those preds Zadorov! Welcome back Lindhom!

some of those calls were ridiculous. Go canucks!

The Canucks had 4 unnecessary penalties, down 2-1, then that incredible shot of adrenaline in the beginning of the 3rd by Hughes and the follow up goal by Joshua. that concludes a crazy game 1, they kept up the pressure battled back and won. LETS GO CANUCKS!!! 1-0 3 to go. Demko was also pretty solid tonight. This is going to be a wild series

Wild fan here. Sounded like a great atmosphere. I'm pulling for Vancouver because Hughes and Demko were beasts on my fantasy team. Would love to see them go the distance.

Coming into this series we know the third and fourth lines are the areas that the Canucks may have a clear edge over the Predators, and what a game that third line had tonight... Joshua is showing, game-by-game, that he deserves a massive pay raise!

Joshua and Garland we're spot on this match 🔥

The cheering was so loud you could hear it from OUTSIDE the indoor arena! Absolutley nuts for just game 1.

What a crowd! What a game! Oh this is going to be an excellent series!

I wish they showed some of the hits that big Z made, the last one where he made the guy go airborne was awesome

Atta boys canucks!! This team is relentless!! What an absolute 💯 Force! Way to goo canaucks

Please let this be the year. The 12 year old boy that was heartbroken in 1994 deserves this.

This was the greatest and loudest game I have ever been to in my life !!! First ever playoffs game and it was definitely worth it !! GO CANUCKS GO !!

What a game go Vancouver 🎉🎉🎉

Сумасшедшая атмосфера на арене и бешенное стремление победить со стороны команды позволили одержать первую виктория, болельщики и команда были едины, если так будет дальше то на этой арене будет не легко любой команде.

Best game of the playoffs so far

love the crowd when they chant " J-T-Millerrrrrrrr " after he gets a point

Predators vs Canucks first playoffs series since 2011 I love it

Wow! I like how the Canucks play around with the Preds for 2 periods, just to give them a glimmer of hope. Then SNAP back to REALITY and CRUSH their HOPES! W/3 in the 3rd period!!! GO CANUCKS!!!

Vancouver wins even with the ref not calling the obvious goalie interference when the Vancouver goalie had his glove hit .

Incredible to finally have John Shorthouse doing Canucks playoff games on TV

Was in the building and can say when Dak scored that was the craziest thing I’ve ever experienced from a crowd

Love the atmosphere in the arena,,, Canucks fans are the best 🎉🎉🎉🎉

What an epic playoff game for the first time at Rogers Arena since 2015 and for my first ever playoff game! GO CANUCKS GO

very physical game with a well-written plot

Canucks showing why they belong here

I'm convinced the O'Reilly goal would have come back if they had challenged

I was there, and the crowd was so loud we couldn’t even hear the LA LA LA LAAA

Quinn Hughes is genuinely insane and the only pick for Norris this year (I’m an Avs fan and have lost my sanity)

huge comeback win to start the playoffs, but once again petey is invisible when hes on the ice,

There were a lot of great plays in this game but that 1st save by Demko was the most important.

Yes! I love Vancouver...one of my favourite cities! C'mon Canucks!

Lindholm need the confidence! if hes scoring, hes a very complete player..Many vancouver was winning draws...SWEEET

Canucks win the game but man, hate to dog on the guy but Petey you got to step up your game cause that line was invisible tonight.

craziest 3rd period ive watched 🔥😍

What a save!

Great game boys just never gave up 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Is it just me or maybe Zadorov got substantially better in defensive awareness department and overall decision making?

Pettersson was so useless this game. He had something like 20+ family and friends to see his first at home playoff game and for all intents purpose he did nothing. I would've rather have Podkolzin who plays hard no matter what. I don't know why they got DeGussipe in over Podkolzin. Watching the last few games with Podkolzin on the ice, he was a beast. He would be a good guy to have during these playoffs.

I’m feeling another riot soon from Vancouver with this energy 😂

Nice Win ! Luckily, the Preds are not a very physical team at all. Nuks applied a heavier forecheck and Nashville folded - couldn't match it.

Joshua’s best game in a little bit

Demko’s save strained my groin 😮😂❤

Congrats to the Canucks! I hope Bettman doesn't make another call to the top official to ensure this Canadian team gets eliminated, like he did in 2011 when the officials ripped the Cup out of the Canuck's hands, put a bow on it and had it sent to the Bruins. There has NEVER in the history of the NHL been a less-deserving -Stanley-Cup winner than in 2011. Canucks were TWICE the team Bruins were and yet....?!? And, I'm not a Canucks fan.

What a beauty of a game!!

Vancouver plays nice hockey they’ve been my pick most of the year to win it from a pens fan

What a great game! Can't wait for GAME 2!!!

I think I have hearing loss after that game!

We love playoff hockey 💪🏒 This is the best time of the year 😍

This was so great to see. Most exciting turn OROUND so far I think in playoffs. Two goals in 12 seconds

A friend (long time season ticket holder) said he has never heard Rogers Arena (GM Place) as loud as last night's game. People literally out of their heads.

Atmosphere is crazy Loud even under the muffled feed

What a game !

Playoff series are won by CLUTCH goal scoring... those two big goals to tie and then take the lead were as CLUTCH as they get.

Now THAT'S how you start the first round! Impressive comeback in the third period, TWO goals in TWELVE seconds! Which makes the Arena feel really alive! Three more games to win before Round 2! Man this hits MUCH better than the Regular season. When it's the playoffs at Rogers Arena, you know the arena will turn into a hell of a stadium! Now here's a quick question, what are your thoughts on the Canucks subreddit?

OK...good things and bad things in my opinion. Good things: I like the way the canucks mostly stayed true to their system. They battled hard and were fast on the Preds especially in the 2nd half of the game. Lindholm was excellent. Joshua obviously. Miller, Demko, and the whole D core, really. Hughes eventually settled in and found his stride. And especially the way they seemed to wear out the Preds. By the end of the game they looked like they were skating in mud. Keep hitting them and wearing them down. They really had the pedal down in the 2nd half of the season and I think that's where the Canucks can find some value. Bad Things: Undisciplined stupid penalties. Hronek's in particular but he wasn't the only one. None of them were "good". The first half of the game was proof of how meaningless Corsi is. I don't know the numbers but it felt like the canucks carried the possession play. In spite of that, most of their shots and chances were useless outside shots with clear views or minimal screens for the Preds goalie. I really didn't like the first and most of the second. Credit the Preds for keeping the canucks to the outside but it still felt like they weren't really engaged and willing to get into the dirty areas until the third. Canucks need to dial up the intensity right from the start cause the Preds aren't going to keep dropping 2 goals in 12 seconds. Anyway, good start but lots of room to play better than that I think.

The similarities between the end of this game and the end of game 2 of Canes/Islanders are low key crazy

Beautiful outcome 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️

In all my years of going to canucks games this was the best 2 goals in 20 secs I’ve ever witnessed. We were jumping up and down non stop to the point where I thought I I was going to pass out. I’ll never forget it.

Ванкувер с победой!!!! "Роджерс Арену" с возвращением игр плэй офф. Отличная командная игра, так держать. Демко - ты должен стать стеной в воротах Косаток. Задоров, Джошуа - просто красавцы!!! Болею за Ванкувер, вперед за кубком!!!!!!
