Ballisticsports Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 My Moms Birthday today and I thought of changing our reservations for 1/2 hour earlier with 2 min remaining in the game and Canucks having only scored 1 goal in 58 min, seemed bleak to get 2 in that span (but wow) Then I was hoping for the Canucks to score in the 1st 5 min of OT, so I wouldn't have to miss any of the game What a great day, everything just worked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 On a funny side note, the Canucks are 1-1 when I wear my Boeser jersey and are 2-0 when I wear my Horvat jersey. I feel weird wearing it, but the voodoo is working out. So I'll keep wearing it on game days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tocchet.A.Hockey.God Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 The Preds really beat themselves, I have never seen a team go from full on forechecking pressure to just standing back and letting them enter the offensive zone once the goalie was pulled. Even once the Canucks gained the offensive zone they just collapsed into a box formation in the slot with no pressure on the guy with the puck. They really do believe they can just throw there body Infront of everything and this time it failed and the bounces went the Canucks way and the passes got through.

Tocchet.A.Hockey.God Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 The best part of this game ending the way it did is that it will force the preds to take chances they wouldn't otherwise take in the next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tocchet.A.Hockey.God Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Just now, CanuckDownUnder said: I've heard better BCHL broadcasts than some of the 650 ones. So true. 650 is so bad and that is if you can get a signal which you can't out side of the lower mainland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamer4GM Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 3 hours ago, JeremyCuddles said: Game of inches isn't just a cliche and a funny term to make Gen Zers and millenials laugh. We can "if this happened" all of game 2. We still have a 3-1 series lead if we won the games we "deserved" to win and they won the games they "deserved" to win. We lost our starter and our backup. It ain't about what you deserve, it's about what you earn. The team battled to the end and earned this victory. People just can't help but rain on every parade they see. Wins a win baby. They all count the same at the end of the day. Felt like this in the regular season but way more so now in the playoffs... This place would be so much more enjoyable if we had 2 GDTs and 2 PGTs for every game. One for those who cheer and hope and support with every shift and every play and never lose faith and another for those who enjoy complaining, criticizing and playing coach and GM throughout ever game. I know this wouldn't actually work out as there's many who ride the grey area in between these two extremes but dam, I spend so much of my time reading through drama and complaints and complaints about complaints it just eats up way more time than necessary. I reset my ignore list for the playoffs but the test was a fail. Gonna have to start building it up again before the wet blankets steal any more of my playoff run joy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey God Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) Who is the most worthy? At this point in the season, everybody thinks they have a chance. But, come the playoffs, what happens on the ice is not determined by the actions of the players, the decisions of the coaches, or even the longing of each team's fans. Some call it “puck luck”, but really, the difference between winning and losing is in the hands of the hockey gods. True story: It's the night before Game 1 between the Vancouver Canucks and Nashville Predators, and Jim Rutherford knows he's been a bad, boastful boy, thinking he could turn the Canucks around before he retires and all. He has faith in his team and believes in his guys, but he knows if there's to be any chance at all, he's got to get right with the hockey gods. So he begs for an appearance before the council. They agree, and as quickly as Bobby Orr in his prime could skate down the ice on a one-man rush, he finds himself before the gods themselves. There are seven of them, like mafia godfathers of old, and they're hanging out in the local Tim Horton’s, stocking up on some Turkey Bacon Clubs and a wide selection of the best doughnuts and coffee on offer, playing cards, and planning a nice, tidy Nashville Predators Game 7 win over the Canucks on the back of the hoodoo they plan to put on Thatcher Demko and then his backup, when Jim comes knocking. They're not hearing him at first, cuz of course, cocky does not sit well with the high court of all things hockey. After all, look what happened to Alexandre Daigle, and how they rewarded Chris Pronger in return. But, he wears them down. He apologizes for the cockiness; lost his head, so much love for the game, couldn't help himself, and so on. “I just want one more Cup win for my legacy”. Then he hits them how the Canucks are the meek, waiting to inherit the earth, and he pleads with them to show their magnificence and benevolence, and now, like any good buttered-up deities, they're listening. They know that the Predators have had tastes of success before, and were thinking that now was the time to reward the fans for their loyalty to the team. Jim, feeling bold, says that, ”It’s Vancouver’s time. Can't you see your way clear to give me just one more Cup winning postseason, and the Canucks their own Cup win?” A playoff outcome requires a unanimous decision, and the council is split now -- three of them think the GM's passion is impressive, while three think that the hex on Vancouver, dating back to their entry into the NHL, deserves to continue, possibly to become as famous as the curses their baseball god brethren have put on teams like the Cubs and the Red Sox in the past. Undermining such power could mean the onset of a precipitous sort of moral decline the likes of which the world has never seen. And, then, there’s the seventh god, Hockey God, who feels that the team has lacked heart and soul all season, and need to lose in the playoffs before they can win to build what they are missing. He wants to support the Canucks, but he’s afraid to stop the growth process. In his eyes, they may have to lose to win, but he's tired of them losing so much sicne they entered the NHL, and hates his fellow gods for snuffing out their chances in the past. Then, Jim plays his humble winning card: “I'm not asking for me, I'm asking for the good of the game. A win for the Canucks will energize the people, make folks everywhere fans for life. Great water cooler talk, you know? A win like this, and we're talking a popularity explosion, we're talking the greatest thing to happen to hockey since, well, the birth of “The Great One” Himself.” Mention of the Great One, anointed by themselves, always goes down well with the gods, and they all agree to help out. As one god puts it: “A good story of a team overcoming insurmountable odds always gives us more followers. Let’s do it!” So, yes, the Canucks will win games after their #1 goalie, and their #2 goalie, go down with injuries, and yes, the player who can go unsung at times, Brock Boeser, will be allowed to singlehandedly carry the Canucks to victory in one game, showing some of the heart and soul Hockey God wanted to see, and building some team spirit to win more tough games in the future. However, the gods can be fickle, and are still undecided as to whether they will allow the Vancouver Canucks to win any more games. They need to feel the love from the Canuck fans. Otherwise, they do have a soft spot for the Boston Bruins in the East (how else to explain what they did to the Canucks in 2011), and some even feel that a marquee match-up between the New York Rangers and the heir to the great one, Connor McDavid and his Edmonton Oilers, would do the league well. A couple of the gods, though, are beginning to think that a story where Arturs Silovs carries the Canucks deep into the postseason, and even goes from playing minor league hockey to being the MVP of the Finals, kind of has a nice ring to it. Start praying … Edited April 29 by Hockey God 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the Canucks needed a backup and called on the UBC Thunderbirds goalie, who at the time was studying for finals in the UBC Library (or somewhere there). Canucks" Hello Random Goalie dude? RGD: "Yes" Canucks: "This is the Canucks. Wanna play an NHL game?" RGD:" ............................................................ ummmm sure" Canucks: "Great! Game starts in 2 hours, get your shit together and be at GM Place in 30 minutes RGD: <sitting on bench and shitting his pants when Hedberg went down in pain in the 2nd> Canucks D (forget who it was): Don't worry rookie, he will get up ........................................ if not, DON'T LET THEM SCORE!" LOL Chris Levesque I think was his name. My friend was on that team and was with him when they finally got a hold of him. Their Captain went to tell him but he thought they we’re screwing with him and didn’t believe them until the the assistant coach finally talked to him. He was almost late getting there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtFraser24 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 3 hours ago, Ghostsof1915 said: What we are seeing, is sadly reality of smaller players versus bigger players. Both Hogs and Garland are struggling against big bodies. It doesn't show in the regular season, but it does in the playoffs. Against a smaller, faster team, Hogs and Garland can get open and be relentless with the puck. Watch both of them will score next game to prove me wrong. Garland set up the OT goal. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
