His first time ever going to the playoffs he better want to re sign with us if he wants to continue that

​@joshmacmullin6103 he better not be asking for $8-$9 million because he ain't worth it

That was legendary tho

@@yourmentalandlord Do you make a habit of pulling random numbers out of your ass just to complain about them?

Canucks playing in the playoffs is gunna be a waste of 8 days lol they'll be right behind calgary looking to book their tee times

i forgot how strong the team is with demko in net. that game coulve easily been 4-3 or 4-5.

The best part is the Canucks have a young core of players who will be around for years to come. Meaning no reason why they can't carry this on season to season for a good 2, 3 or even 5 years!

Bettman giving us divisional champs & the occasional Stanley cup final is enough to keep us in our seats in Canada.

It was nice but common far from the greatest of all time. 😊

mason mctavish exist

Yes it was a pretty sweet stop Hughes did. But other players have put their bodies in the crease and stopped shots...

Fred Braithwaite has entered the chat…

“just gonna leaf”. Ok, that’s actually hilarious. 😂✌🏼

He was!!! The Flames tried so hard to win by the Canucks are so much better!

Oh wait, actually, in reality, the Flames are a gutted down AHL team that is in the beginning process of rebuilding, and they’ve been INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO LOSE since 68 GP, so as to tank for draft picks. Don’t worry, though. The Canucks are so good they’ll lose in the first round. 😂

@@JesusFriedChristOk sure bud 😂😂😂 whatever you say 😏

I totally agree. While the Canucks are my #1 team, the Oilers are my #2. If the Canucks can't make it, let's give it some gas!

Totally! It’s Canada’s game!! Obviously rooting for the Canucks, but good luck to all the Canadian teams. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏒🇨🇦👍

It is great to see all the Canadian teams in the run this season 👍. We’ve got some great hockey coming up, wow kunuckleheads how far will you go?

Respect. As a Nucks guy since 1990 I wanna see it come this way once in my life... but I'll be rooting for you guys #2.

For me being a Nucks fan, I obviously wish and hope for the cup to come to Vancouver, but Edmonton is my next best bet in hopes of bringing the cup to Canada again. Either way, I just hope a Canadian team brings the cup back to Canada, where it should be after all these years

No they didn’t. Flames are literally trying to lose for draft picks. Duh.

brilliant performance AND a shorty from tyler myers himself? it’s christmas.

It's amazing what a difference having that Elite goalie back in the lineup makes. No disrespect to DeSmith, who's a solid backup, but he's no Demko. Only a small handful of goalies can match Demko save for save and all of them were in the All Star Game but not all in the All Star Game could match Demko save for save.

@@Seriously_Unserious 100% he is the man.

The Flames are literally tanking for draft picks. You didn’t win, we lose on purpose. Not to worry though, you’ll be out in the first round.

@JesusFriedChrist losing on purpose shooting 40 shots ? Right that makes sense. Early golf again this year as usual for your flames. No drafts will help the failing flames.

You looked unreal giving up 40 shots to a team that's given up? Haha. Plus you had the refs in your pocket too with the 6 man attack for like 20 seconds and several blatant trips all game. I dont know what your on. But I do still hope a Canadian team brings home the cup... but the nucks are going to have to be better than this game to do it...

Yup. The Canucks have a solid defense, but without that Elite Goalie to back them up, they're not going to go far in the playoffs. DeSmith's a solid backup, but nobody can match Demko, save a couple who appeared along side him in the All Star game.

If you were looking at this game as an example of a hard fought victory for Demko, this ain’t it, chief. The Flames are literally trying to lose for draft picks so they can finally get started rebuilding.

@@JesusFriedChrist Keep taking that Copium, maybe it'll give your burned out flames better luck on the golf course, though if they hit the links like they hit the rinks, they don't need to worry about a spare pair of socks, as they won't be getting a hole in one.

@@JesusFriedChrist And yet the Flames still peppered Demko with 40 shots. Maybe actually watch the game before you comment on it.

@@JesusFriedChrist40 shots on net and you think they weren’t trying. They lost because of a skill issue.

Thatcher's roof does not leak.

i saw u tn too

Bettman will find a way to make all canadian teams lose

I’m a knuckle fan, and I’ll say it, they lack the grit to compete against grittier teams and it will be their downfall come round 1 depending on who they get matched up with…when the tough gets going, most of their top players are ghosts…the physical play sends these boys packing..glad u enjoyed the season tho, lol

@@nonamenoname1737 I firmly believe they do not. They have plenty of it and always have the capability to put it up to other teams. What they do lack is the need to keep their heads and hearts in proper check, and to quit with these unnecessary penalties. Those kinds of situations KILLED them at times. Many times, they emit a shocking penalty kill. And even at times, when short-handed, they make it even worse for themselves by going 5-on-3 down.

First round exit. Go oilers

I mean, I'd only say to look at Boston's upset with Florida from '23. They were by far the best, and most winningest team that year. They were also first round exits. I'd say I'd love to see our Canadian teams do well in the playoffs, but you just never know these days... What strings are being pulled behind the curtain? Or more seriously, what pride a team brings in to a matchup, and what that might do to their over-confidence, or over-thinking perhaps?

Hopefully we can meet later in the playoffs. Kings gave the canucks a few fits at those last couple of games. I know other canuck fans don't want to play them but I see it as a necessary test. West is simply wide open. Any team 1 through 8 could make the finals and it would not be any kind of surprise.

@@doublestrokeroll especially if JT Miller and the top or second line combination really gets going they're definitely be harder to defeat in a seven game series but I do give the Canucks credit their goaltenders have been very well against stopping shots on goal. Also that would be a very fun series to watch especially because both our teams were not even slated to be playoff teams this year and exceeded expectations and made the playoffs.

What about the Canucks 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thatcher's roofs are puck proof.

Thatcher, the goalie who builds certified puck proof Thatched rooves. "Hey, my roof's sprung a leak Thatch, can you fix it?"

🐽🐽🐽 запахло грязной свиньей. Почему?

If by west you mean pacific then yes....Stars still above the canucks. But yeah...it's been a great season. Hopefully they maintain focus and discipline in the playoffs. Yeah Marky was having trouble there.

@@doublestrokeroll You could say Marky Mark had a funky bunch in his blocker, and it was a bad vibration, a dirty sensation! 🤣🤣 and I used "west" because it rhymes with best while "Pacific" does not.

NO kidding. Without him the roof leaks a bit, but Thatcher's roof is puck proof!

I love Hronek, but yeah, I didn't think he needed to do that at all. Kuzmenko is a gentleman on the ice. I wish he was still a Canuck, but instead he's had to make the trip to the doldrums of Calgary.

can u share timing of that pls?

Did you NOT see Petey's Greatzky like pass to Hoglander for the easy tip in? Seems to me he's finding his game already. Soucy played well, other then a stick drop and Lindholm put on a clinic of shutting down Draisaitl, which is very tough to do, so I'd say they are all finding or found their games.

yeah not sure what you're talking about. EP's been playing well and Lindholm has had three or four excellent games. Haven't been paying attention to Soucy but didn't notice anything terrible so that probably means he's been doing fine too.

@@doublestrokeroll Given Soucy's role as a shut down defenseman here, that's the whole point. If we WERE noticing him, it would likely be for the reasons we keep noticing Myres - missed checks, and/or bad penalties. He's doing neither so is exactly what a shut down defenseman should be, invisible. I agree 100% with the others. Lindholm was playing badly until he took time off to heal up from an injury, but has been doing a lot better since coming back. Peterson's been doing well too, though not as good as he was early on when he was really lighting it up. Though I'll also be fair to Petey and mention he's been struggling with bad line mats much of his slump. An Injured Lindholm, Makeyev in the midst of a 20 something game goal-less streak, Suter/Misc checkers, and finally Hoglander who gave him his first good winger since he was separated from the Lotto Line.

@@Seriously_Unserious All 3 of these guys have reported themselves to not being able to find their A game lately ....so DID YOU NOT see those interviews...i'm not making this sh** up ffs ...amazing the stupid hater comments that come out when someone dares speak the truth

Canucks to trade back for him? Lol that would be ridiculous

speak for yourself. I like the skill, and he seemed like a good "locker room" guy but I'm much more happy with Lindholm. The face off wins alone are worth the price. Canuck fans and their hard ons for Kuzzy...it's really weird. Canuck fans always feel the need to adopt a puppy. Cody Hodgson, Jared McCann, Frankie Corrado, Hunter Shinkaruk....and on and on....lamenting the loss of mediocre players. It's a canuck fan pastime.

@@doublestrokeroll I did adopt a puppy. She's great, overlooked by many. Not one of those players you mentioned had the joy that Andre had off the ice. They were all "yeah I'm in the NHL you want an autograph get in line" Kuzy is more like the kind of guy you might nod at on the street and he'd ask YOU for a picture. Whatever team he's on, you can't dislike him as a person.

@@debuthunter5389 we can't still hope he has a great career because he's an all around happy guy? Ok

@@pricechaos873 - I love Kuzzy. Great person. Gun player. The dude said about signing him in the off-season. That's just a dumb hockey move. Doesn't mean we can't support him wherever he is.

That statement is "Thatcher's roof don't leak!" by stopping 40/41 shots.

😂😂😂 Lames suck

yeah next year

All the Canuck goals seemed to be blocker side. Seems like they scouted Markstrom well, and sniped that blocker corner even better.

Markstrom used to be our goalie. I think the guys know what his weak-points are.

They're around, saw someone in the replies to another comment still trying to claim Petey's "invisible" again tonight, despite Petey's Greatzky like pass to Hoglander for the easy tip in. As for Myres, uncommonly good game for him, though I'd say the team could still do better for $6 mil. How he's played much of this season, I'd be happy if he was hitting our cap more to the tune of $2-3 mil a year, but he's still not worth 6! Too many penalties and too much inconsistency to be worth that much.

@@Seriously_Unserious yip, that was a cracker of a pass…👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏒🇨🇦

Not a hater, but they are not wrong. One shot on net, but 2 turnovers tonight, all for 11 million and people are like.....but,but, but he made a great pass. Miller, Hughes, they are the ones who's worth 11 million right now.

@jaywhy2016 Every player has his role on the team. We don't know what Rick is telling Petey to do. We can only presume it a contract to produce a bag full of goals. He isn't playing his best, but he's not an issue as of yet, IMHO. I'd prefer to see how things pan out in the play offs before criticising

@@jaywhy2016 and people like you are like "He made several great passes, set up goal for his team mates, backchecked well but, but but, he's still just invisible and I'll refuse to acknowledge the good things he did or demean them because I have to hate the big contracts." Is what I keep getting from the haters. And while you SAY you're not a hater, your other words betray you and SHOW you to be a hater. I can understand the issues with big contracts due to those infamous Benning Contracts, starting with Louie Eirickssen and culminating with OEL. But Petterson is NOT Eirickssen, nor is he Oliver Eckman-Larson. He's Elias Petterson and while his goals have tapered off late in the season, he's still making plays and doing good things for the team, wither you WANT to SEE them or not.

First tiebreaker is RW (Regulation Wins) Nashville finished with 38, if LA wins their last game in regulation time they will also have 38. Second tie breaker is wins not in shoot out as marked ROW column: Nashville has 44, LA has just 41, so the tiebreaker would go to Nashville.

I see! Thanks alot@@seanmcdonnell2649

Same here I guess the coaches saw demko would be way better than him.

The canucks would have the tie breaker for regulation wins i believe for a chance to win the conference.

The Canucks would win it, They calculate the ROW (Regular plus OT Wins)

maybe. maybe not. I get you're probably a cheese eating butt hurt 13 year old but there is a solution to your problem....just don't come post on boards where canuck fans are obviously going to be.

​@@doublestrokerollI find it hilarious how VAN fans are afraid of vegas and they're dying to play the kings/preds in the first round. So they have zero faith in their team against the real cup contenders. Why are you so confident?

@@LKM0235 I think you're making a strawman. Not very logical. If there is a team most canuck fans don't want it's the Kings as their style has been the most frustrating, and they've done well against us. The canucks have played the Knights fairly well. I didn't say or imply anything about "confidence" so I'm not sure what you're going on about there. Here's how it is. And I know you don't know this because you used the term "real cup contenders" which shows me you have absolutely no clue how the NHL works in 2024. But don't take it too personally. You're not really any different than any of the other morons who post like this. So here it is..... There are NO favorites in the NHL. Especially in the west. Any team 1 through 8 can beat any other team. It's entirely unpredictable, and anyone who thinks they can predict winners is deluding themselves. Nothing more than luck if they're right. The canucks are capable of beating any team in the west in a 7 game series and they're just as capable of losing a 7 game series to any team. They might have a few teams with slightly more favorable match ups but it's barely worth mentioning. A bit of a psychological edge over the Oilers this year for example. But would I be surprised if we lost to Edmonton? Not at all. I don't care who we play. They're all the same. Every team is good. Every series will require discipline to the system and a lot of luck. Because in the modern "pinball" NHL that's what it mostly is to win the cup. Luck. Only morons make predictions. And there are a LOT of moronic NHL fans who think in terms of "real favorites". Just shows they really don't understand the game.

​@@doublestrokerollThey played the knights fairly well? is that why the canucks only beaten them 4 times in 7 years? 😂😂😂 So you're judging by one good game the canucks played against that team. You're so cringe worthy.

You should look at the highlights again, clearly you turned your blinders on when Petey passed it like Gretzky to Hoglander for the tip in. And he's been doing the little things like backchecking well enough for a player who's mainly there to contribute offence. The only thing Petey's missing is his goal production, but as long as he's helping his linemates score, I can overlook that.

@@Seriously_Unserious I watched the game, he had 2 of the teams 3 turnovers, one of them was on the powerplay. It's been like this for months now.

British Columbia vs Alberta????? ALBERTA 6 STANLEY CUPS (should be 7 puck crossed line vs TAMPA) BRITISH COLUMBIA......ZERO STANLEY CUP BANNERS....(but do have a STANLEY SMYL banner instead)
