Post-Game Talk: WCQF GM06 | Canucks defeat Predators | 1-0 (Suter) | SILOVS! SUTER! HEROES!

[valkynax]

Not with Arturs “Shutout” Silovs in net.

Oh yeah I forgot this was a shutout game too.

Very impressed with Silov, this kid is un believable. Under the herculean pressure, the kid not only didn't break, he didn't even bend, and held the world's weight on his shoulders like Atlas.

The Preds were NOT an easy out. They were f***ing for real. One of the best teams in the entire league in the calendar year, coming in hot to the playoffs. They were deep, well coached, extremely defensive and checked tight, had a terrifying first line, and had a brilliant goalie in net. The Canucks should be EXTREMELY proud of this series win. I unironically think Edmonton will be easier. We have a path to the cup finals now. 12 MORE.

So I was impressed the Brunette turned a stretch play, quick-up team into one that forechecked hard and then blocked a ton of shots in their own end. I'm not sure the Oilers can do that.

LA did manage to contain McDavid, and we're going to have to commit completely to our defensive play to keep doing that. We might be a terrible matchup for them because we're similar to the Kings in defensive structure but we don't have that baggage of losing to them all the time. And we have better goaltending.

I don't think Skinner is that great. We should be able to take advantage of him, he doesn't move laterally all that well. The Oilers are playing better defence but they're not necessarily structured, they are just trying hard. That might fall apart easily if they get frustrated.

I think we saw some flashes of dropping another forward for puck support in breakouts and I don't think it's a surprise that we got more shots in the third period than we have basically all series. Tocchet needs to learn from this and they need to figure out their PP. Kind of crazy that it feels like we can rely on the PK now considering what it was the previous two seasons.

 

[Peen]

For the most part, I liked how that series was officiated. That last call on Lindholm … everyone knows what that was.

 

[geebaan]

I’ll enjoy that moment today

And pray we get our shit together for Edmonton. This will not fly against them.

Game 1 on Tuesday vs the oilers, great game by Silovs, and Petey getting an assist. Hopefully there is more ice available vs the oilers but this is playoffs so we should expect much of the same.

 

[sabremike]

Give Myers what Hronek’s demanding

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Who's going to be our Justin Williams to take out McWhiner?

(and to Coiler fans, I'm obviously kidding)

Maybe Bobby Clarke is available.

 

[Vancouver_2010]

How will the NHL prevent a winner with 2 Canadian teams facing each other now?

Maybe we will get a game where the referees are being fair for once.

 

[VibinCanuck]

Predators couldn't beat the Canucks 3rd string goalie WITH the refs swallowing their whistles with how much they clutched, grabbed and interfered with impunity.

Humiliating loss for the Predators. I can't even imagine if I was a fan of that team how crushing it would be.

 

[tradervik]

I’m pretty happy.

That might be an understatement.

 

[jd22]

That was an opportune time that my bladder woke me up. Saw the final 10 of the third. Of course, now I need to calm my heart a bit before going back to sleep.

Well done Silovs.

[wonton15]

First career shutout is the clinching game of the first round. Absolute ice in his veins.

Meanwhile teams like the Leafs haven’t won in the first round since like Silovs was born, lol

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Give Myers what Hronek’s demanding

This may be the best game I've seen Myers play in six years. Hell of an effort.

 

[mossey3535]

Myers is a gong show but for that blocked shot at the end, I forgive him for absolutely everything.

Myers was excellent for two games, and just ok in the last two games. He and everyone on the blueline were pretty sketchy in the first 20 or so minutes in this game but that was a huge box out at the end.

 

[Kryten]

Maybe we will get a game where the referees are being fair for once.

Hahahahahaha

 

[DimitriL07]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Hansen]

ngl, glad I lived to see second round hockey again!

Im glad you did too

 

[Zombotron]

 

[Donuts]

Bring on the oilers

Canucks in 6

 

[crazychimp]

Predators couldn't beat the Canucks 3rd string goalie WITH the refs swallowing their whistles with how much they clutched, grabbed and interfered with impunity.

Humiliating loss for the Predators.

I don’t understand how you don’t make that call on Garland getting hit then make that call against Lindholm absolute shitty call ..

 

[HighAndTight]

So Silovs at least stats wise improved every game. What a performance tonight.

Chaos Giraffe at the end.

JT Miller with the head lock and then the flying elbow on Silovs. Beauty.

Of course Petey has a point/helped make the most important goal happen.

Beoser is built for the playoffs, nuff said.

 

[Jack Burton]

Silvos is the

Kid with a shutout in an elimination game! To come in under the circumstances and play the way he did is ice cold. So happy for him and the team.

 

[Jay26]

It's crazy how all my gripes and inhibitions with this team just evaporated haha! What a feeling to get to the 2nd round, and against a western Canadian rival!
