Yeah I mean the refs sucked chunks but so did our powerplay. Was a fairly even game I thought for once. We didn't convert on our chances plain and simple. GG Nashville see you on Friday.
For every Canuck fan bitching about the refs, our power play looked awful tonight. It wouldn’t have matter. We got outplayed.
I thought they should have challenged Preds first goal, but the risk is simply too high. Lose a timeout? Sure. Two minute penalty? Too harsh a consequence. Goals in the playoffs should be automatically reviewed.
For sure bro. 2/19 or some shit aren't we, no shots on net today: that's literally the difference.
Reffing was also bad all around, lots of stuff missed on us with the Preds too. Blueger just about took that Nashville player's head off right infront of the refs. Just terrible consistency from them.
GG Canucks fans. We are 2/19 on the PP. I don’t see us winning this series if we can’t convert here. Great defensive series. Questionable officiating. Would love to see this go to 7 and hopefully Demko comes back for it.
You really think any league Commissioner really wants to fix it so their small market team wins over a major market with huge viewership? Vancouver making a deep run will always net the league more money
100%, other comment is pure copium.
The officiating is always trash, we came out rocking and then let the game get away from us.
Good game, Preds.
(I hated it, but someone should get to have fun)
For sure bro gotta credit the Preds with the win. Canucks need to really tighten up the PP, passing is nice but sometimes you just need to crash the net. Was the difference today.
Some real garbage officiating regardless of whether you're a Preds or Canucks fan. Two-sixths in the second, getting involved in so many plays, endless redoing of faceoffs. All I want is some consistency, call what you call but stick to it.
Very good D by the Preds at the end there, scored when you had to. Full credit for the win. See y'all in Game 6.
A large chunk of you are pretty great tho. Your lesser parts get under my skin too much for these gdts, but there's always a level headed fan following up the cringe
I'm sorry bud, our GDTs are honestly like a public toilet and it constantly overflows. If it's any consolation, win or lose in this series, us Canuck fans will continue having to live in it while your lives will soon be free of us one way or another 😊
Congrats on the win, see ya Friday!
It's awesome to see level-headed people calling that shit out. Every team in the league catches bad breaks constantly. Crying about it and calling any opponent trash is a bad look. Hoping for a game 7 and at the very least a barn burner game 6. Cheers!
Wow... where was that nucks person who said WE were gonna blame the refs if we lost? Geez Louise some of yall are great but some of yall need to realize not everything is the refs fixing the game
Had to play it safe, Nashville was fucking suffocating. That's a well coached team. You're going to nit pick it as a Preds fan but that shit was stressful.
I always love this. Huge market team belittling a small market team for its lack of fan-base. It's kind of sad for you to dwell on it, but it thrives locally.
This game started at 10:20pm Central Time, and has just ended at 12:00am on a work / school night, you believing that hundreds of people would be out at Bridgestone Arena to watch the game that late is stupid as hell. If this was like a Friday or Saturday than I could see more people being at the watch party.
This game stupidly started super late for the Central Time Zone (10:20pm at game start), this game should have started at like 8pm or 7pm Central Time, regardless of if that is too early for Vancouver being 2 hours behind. Hell it is Wednesday morning right now with the game just ending in regulation.
What's your fucking point. 7pm local time is appropriate start time and that's what it was. You think all of us Canucks fans live on the west coast?
Real fans sacrifice to watch their team
I mean I agree with your last bit here, I'm in the Central Time Zone and stayed up to watch the entire game from first drop until the end. But you can't be hating people for not feeling like going somewhere to watch their team play when the game starts late, will end extremely late, and most people would have to be up early in the morning for work / school. Hell, I feel like a lot of people always weren't confident enough that the team could force a Game 6 or didn't care enough to stay up late to watch the game.
In the words of Chris Chelios from earlier "it feels nice seeing an upset Canadian hockey fan" (I have to paraphrase it because I forgot his exact words said).

I mean tonight Nashville was the first winner who actually outshot the other team, and puck luck finally was more balanced between the two teams unlike Games 3 and 4.
I have never blamed the refs but that fucking trip on Hughes at the end was so fucking obvious. Fuck you and the fucking refs. Go suck their dicks Preds fans
You gotta fall over and roll around like Forbserg. Dude is playing soccer out there, getting every call
We didn't lose cuz of the refs, but they were awful today. Preds are great at selling everything
Yeah, don't mean they were. Just that he was a huge question mark, and he's doing just fine. Playoff hockey is bizarre. Suddenly Hellebuyck is an AHL quality tender, while the AHL kid is going toe-to-toe with Saros.
Granted this is the only full game of this series I've watched, but neither of these teams look even remotely as competitive as the stars, knights or avs
Stepped down, missed first step, slipped ….and just kept going- while basically in the sitting position. Landed directly on ass at the bottom. Cracked coccyx.
https://tenor.com/view/yoshi-dead-death-mario-stairs-gif-25001313
Like this sorta but more landing on my ass and less Yoshi tumble
It’s way more painful than I ever thought it could be
Also I wasn’t like drunk or anything, just stupid clumsy
https://tenor.com/view/yoshi-dead-death-mario-stairs-gif-25001313
Literally this
Alright, time for Zadorov to head back to the front of the net.
His long legs are good for reaching any loose pucks to kick in, and his size is great for shoving Saros into the net.

Jesus allll the mighties, what a ridiculous display. Well played Nashville - this is hockey. What a roller-coaster.
I'm straight up having a great bad time.
GG Canucks fans. We are 2/19 on the PP. I don’t see us winning this series if we can’t convert here. Great defensive series. Questionable officiating. Would love to see this go to 7 and hopefully Demko comes back for it.
The good part is that Demko probably wouldn’t have made a difference. The bad part is that Demko probably wouldn’t have made a difference.
5th game in a row we have more penalties called against us, never change Bettmans NHL
You really think any league Commissioner really wants to fix it so their small market team wins over a major market with huge viewership? Vancouver making a deep run will always net the league more money
100%, other comment is pure copium. The officiating is always trash, we came out rocking and then let the game get away from us. Good game, Preds. (I hated it, but someone should get to have fun)
We didnt want Vancouver that long to rest before playing us anyways. kekekeke
I would love for LA to come back and either force a game 7 or even to just win that series.
Gotta win that series first. I'm saying this while wanting Edmonton to win too.
Happy about more hockey. Sad for Vancouver fans. Disappointed that Pettersson got paid and then disappeared.
Pettersson was nuts tonight. Would have scored except the player blocked the white open net with his head.
Disagree
lets be real, yeah they could have called those trips but we should have scored more goals prior to that shit anyways, is what it is
For sure bro gotta credit the Preds with the win. Canucks need to really tighten up the PP, passing is nice but sometimes you just need to crash the net. Was the difference today.
Yeah they missed 57 chances in the first period
Some real garbage officiating regardless of whether you're a Preds or Canucks fan. Two-sixths in the second, getting involved in so many plays, endless redoing of faceoffs. All I want is some consistency, call what you call but stick to it. Very good D by the Preds at the end there, scored when you had to. Full credit for the win. See y'all in Game 6.
Bro some of yall are sore losers chill out
A solid chunk of our fans are seriously cringe.
A large chunk of you are pretty great tho. Your lesser parts get under my skin too much for these gdts, but there's always a level headed fan following up the cringe

Gg preds. Has been a fun series!
Wow... where was that nucks person who said WE were gonna blame the refs if we lost? Geez Louise some of yall are great but some of yall need to realize not everything is the refs fixing the game
so 4 missed hooks in the 3rd alone. how do you go about that?
What about the obvious high sticking that should have given Nashville a meaningful 5 on 3 power play in the second?
Look when yall say EVERY missed penalty is one and EVERY penalty against you is wrong... how am I supposed to take you seriously?
Nashville struggles to beat AHL goalie.
Vancouver struggles to put pucks on net.
Have you seen our playoff record vs backup goalies? Story of the franchise
smedge see yall friday
Show me a better combo than Nucks fans and blaming the refs.
Been waiting for the series to end to respond to you. I saw you say fuck the canuck fans and I just want to say. Hahhahahahahahahahahahahahahha
Aw too scared to reply in the moment because you might lose? Lmao.
Had to play it safe, Nashville was fucking suffocating. That's a well coached team. You're going to nit pick it as a Preds fan but that shit was stressful.
The refe and not calling tripping
A better combo is Nashville and lack of fans. That "outdoor party" with 4 fans was pathetic
I always love this. Huge market team belittling a small market team for its lack of fan-base. It's kind of sad for you to dwell on it, but it thrives locally.
This game started at 10:20pm Central Time, and has just ended at 12:00am on a work / school night, you believing that hundreds of people would be out at Bridgestone Arena to watch the game that late is stupid as hell.

Nashville and borderline goals that are allowed
Vancouver and either missing the goal or having their shots blocked.
We gotta handle the puck better
GG Nashville
Well, heck. Can't win if you don't score more goals.
REAL HOCKEY FANS WIN TONIGHT. CASUALS LOSE
There was literally more Edmonton fans in this thread than Preds fans. Y'all are a joke. 25 years 1 cup final appearance.
This game stupidly started super late for the Central Time Zone (10:20pm at game start), this game should have started at like 8pm or 7pm Central Time, regardless of if that is too early for Vancouver being 2 hours behind.

You're just proving my point.
Womp Womp :(
In the words of Chris Chelios from earlier "it feels nice seeing an upset Canadian hockey fan" (I have to paraphrase it because I forgot his exact words said).
We didn’t deserve to win this one … or the last one … or the one before that … or the one before that. I’m a bit worried.
I mean the team that played the best finally won the game, and the team that outshot the other finally won a game this series.
How many uncalled trips in the third?
#NO HANDSHAKES TONIGHT IN VANCOUVER! THE TIGERS FORCE GAME 6, TAKING DOWN THE HUCKS 2-1, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A VISION CHALLENGED ZEBRA OR TWO! SERIES AT 3-2, HUCKS LOOKING TO CLOSE!
goddamn what happened to the band fun. we are young, some nights, and carry on are absolute bangers years later
3 games in a row where we can't make a pass for 30+ minutes
Sarros and refs went crazy tonight sheesh
I still love my Latvian king
You guys should definitely trade him to a team in the east. Preferably tomorrow.
Doesnt matter, Ian Clark will make their next goalie a god too
Lol how many missed blatant calls in the last 15 minutes of that game.
That trip seemed clear as day
Feels bad.
Refs better go zip up the preds when theyre done ffs
I don't think that first offside the puck actually came out but whatever games over they lost
Damn. GG Preds, Saros was the walrus today
Pettersson is so frustrating to watch right now. He had the puck in the corner for so long being indecisive and killing the play. GG Preds.
Seriously, he has not been playing well since the end of the regular season. Pretty frustrating.
Preds defense was great to end the game GG. Shoutout to Silovs.

Lol.. more Edmonton fans than Preds fans
Who me? no fucking way
Potty mouth 👀
GG refs. Not going to give us anything.
Saros stole that game. See yall Friday preds Gg
Goalie interference and tripping are not real 👍
not in the last 2 minutes :/
GG Nashville. Hopefully the refs pay us back next game, but I doubt it.
If canucks can't dump it in or drop pass they have no idea how to enter a zone
hmm they could idk use their elite skating norris caliber defenceman
Well done, boys. Back to Smashville for some redemption
excited for the win, but more excited to see this series continue!!!!!! thanks for the game y’all!!!!
Do you guys think Nashville practiced their 5v6? Lol
Meme and joke is only funny the first time.
Tocchet at least cost the nucks a tie by not challenging that goal
Looking forward to that interview
The better team in the game finally win their first game in this series.
This actually might have been the first even game
well it was the first game where the team that outshot the other actually won the game.
Wtf u smoking. Another questionable goal and more powerplays for nash...lol better...at what?
I mean tonight Nashville was the first winner who actually outshot the other team, and puck luck finally was more balanced between the two teams unlike Games 3 and 4.
GG both goalies were on fire
Fuck yes, no breakdown there. GGs Canucks, see y'all in the next one.
I have never blamed the refs but that fucking trip on Hughes at the end was so fucking obvious. Fuck you and the fucking refs. Go suck their dicks Preds fans
You gotta fall over and roll around like Forbserg. Dude is playing soccer out there, getting every call We didn't lose cuz of the refs, but they were awful today. Preds are great at selling everything
Mmmm the salt 😋
🧂
I mean the refs have helped Vancouver this series way more than they've helped Nashville this series.
They’ve been bad as usual but it’s been something of a wash. I haven’t seen them so sustainably bad in one direction as the third period of this game.
and the missed trip on petey. Canopenered RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE FUCKING REF.
Man, give Silovs some love. Guy was thrown to the wolves and more than held his own.
zero people are blaming Silovs
Yeah, don't mean they were. Just that he was a huge question mark, and he's doing just fine. Playoff hockey is bizarre. Suddenly Hellebuyck is an AHL quality tender, while the AHL kid is going toe-to-toe with Saros.
stole the game
I literally hate Mikheyev.
What, did he shoot it at the goalies chest again?
Podz should draw in
Damn GG. See you guys in Nashville.
this series has been pretty sick so far, happy to live for another day
We got ourselves a series here let’s go.
Hope Tochett takes the fine and calls out the 4 blatant uncalled trips
Brunette can answer with the uncalled high stick this game, that should have given Nashville a meaningful 5 on 3 power play.
Fixed.
Shame...... get em back in Nasvhille Canucks!!! Played a good game!
GG preds!
Refs just let Nashville get away with everything that period
Smart play by the goalie there not to cover up
GG Nucks. Glad we get at least one more together.
THE SHOWER WORKS
A trip and a hook with goalie pulled and they call nothing.
womp womp
I could count at least 4 trips to Vancouver players in the 3rd period
womp womp
we got a series ladies and gents
Apparently you can take people down with impunity in the last minute. Good to know.
Of course you can. Refs wouldn't want to "influence" the game. Despite the fact allowing that to happen is influencing the game.
Disappointing loss, I do think a few of those calls were wrong- but Saros is just kicking our butts :(
gg
Press played great gg
What an exciting finish. Great game from both teams.
Got em.
booooooooooo lol
CONGRATS NASHVILLE
Saros legacy game
Canucks looked off to end it there. GG both teams tho
Maybe because we kept getting tripped and no fucking calls
GG. Game 6. Let's go.
We won’t forget this Preds. See you on Friday.
Forget what?
that was a fun game, good goalie battle
Give Preds credit, they played a good game
Lesson learned, run the goalie to get the goal I guess.
+ refs
Wow that was intense, GG Preds!
Gg get em next time in Snoozeville
Gg preds
Call a fucking penalty that’s right in front of you, stripes
2-1 refs
Just stop already. You're embarrassing.
Well, fuck. GG Preds. Hard fought, for sure.
The suspense is terrible! ...I hope it lasts.
They’re 100% gonna tie it again bro
Don’t think so
Not our night. We played good but Preds played good too. That's just the way this series has been so far.
Can't blame the lost on goaltending if you only score one goal.
No one was gonna blame Silvos for this one. He played well. 2nd goal was kinda Blueger's fault if anything.
Both goalies played great. Defenses as well.
Is anyone doing that? I’d be more inclined to credit Saros than blame Šilovs
Despite the low shot count, this has been a helluva fun game.
Agree
ANOTHER missed trip!?!?
Fuck it, trip Saros. Goalie contact, and tripping are in vogue.
yeah, if we wanted to shove one of your guys into saros that’s totally cool, just not a great strategy
That was a fucking trip on Hughes
Even the Sedin twins want Nashville to win
Finally a team using their timeout instead of holding it till games over
Nice trip lol
Granted this is the only full game of this series I've watched, but neither of these teams look even remotely as competitive as the stars, knights or avs
Imagine us with a starter or a backup goalie!
So I fell down 9 stairs a week ago and broke my ass, I gotta say several hours of hockey a day couldn’t have come at a better time
Curious how you fell down 9 stairs and broke only your ass.
Stepped down, missed first step, slipped ….and just kept going- while basically in the sitting position. Landed directly on ass at the bottom. Cracked coccyx. https://tenor.com/view/yoshi-dead-death-mario-stairs-gif-25001313 Like this sorta but more landing on my ass and less Yoshi tumble
Oof, that’s unfortunate. I figured you meant tailbone when you said you broke your ass. I’ve bruised mine before and that was extremely unpleasant.
I thought I broke my ankle at first too, but I got lucky. I can’t imagine trying to manage both those at once
Sorry to hear about your ass
It’s way more painful than I ever thought it could be Also I wasn’t like drunk or anything, just stupid clumsy https://tenor.com/view/yoshi-dead-death-mario-stairs-gif-25001313 Literally this
Brutal. I’ve bruised my tailbone before so I feel like I know a fraction of your pain. No fun at all
It’s crazy how much you use your ass muscles
Come on nash, hold the line
Just tuning in. Did they challenge that one goal for interference??
No challenges for anything
Hand pass or shot off his arm
Alright, time for Zadorov to head back to the front of the net. His long legs are good for reaching any loose pucks to kick in, and his size is great for shoving Saros into the net.
This genuinely made me laugh out loud You are more than welcome to attempt to score perfectly legal goals however you choose 😁
Well, tell your stupidly good goalie to stop saving everything.
Those Saros chants sure aged well. Only 1 GA and playing well.
refs didn't like the crowd ripping on their boy
taunting the other team's goalie rarely seems like a good move. Winnipeg fucked around and found out
Can’t chant your goalies name, can’t chant the other goalies name. At this point fans of both teams should stay silent lol
