I was at this game, the initial shot at the net that bounced out to JT totally looked like it went in everyone was cheering but no horn, ofc seconds after JT gets the winner but it was an adrenaline rush like no other so that’s prolly why Petterson kept digging at it

[@sejhnly]

Ngl, Petey looked quite good this game. Creating chances, etc., hope he keeps this effort up

[@Kaptionist]

I think he had too much weight on him. Putting him on winger was key. Plus, teammates that listen!

[@Seriously_Unserious]

@@Kaptionist Yeah, dead weight. Makeyev does not belong on a scoring line. His offense is cursed and that curse is contagious. Seems like whenever Makeyev is on the ice, nobody is allowed to score goals for either team. We can use that on a 3rd or 4th line grouping since those lines aren't really expected to score anyways, but could be money in stopping the other team's best lines from scoring. Putting Hoglander back in the lineup and moving Lindholm up was the right call. As good as Pettersson is, you can't expect him to carry a 4th liner on his shoulders all season long and not have it eventually wear him out and erode his confidence. How good would McDavid be if he had to play on a line with Ilya "the Curse" Makayev? I daresay that would drop McDavid from a 150 point guy to a 90 point guy overnight. That would probably shatter his confidence if the line persisted to the point he'd become a 60 point guy by the end of the season. Just like Pettersson. In fact look what happened to Kuzi after the trade separated HIM from the Makayev Curse! He was playing like that 39 goal scorer we fell in love with!

[@edwardgofsky4862]

What a game for the Canucks. PDG with that “Big Dad Energy”. It’s Miller Time!. Lindholm and Zadorov trades paying off big in 2024 playoffs.

The boys got called out by the coach and came to play. After that 1st period it was all Canucks. That new 4th line was cooking, Di Giuseppe, Aman and Podkolzin. Shoutout to Petey who stepped up and set up the final goal by Miller in the dying second of the game.

[@bananian]

That was a 400 IQ move to pass it to Pickard. 🤭

[@KimmyGuardado]

Åman

[@Seriously_Unserious]

I think separating that cursed and cancerous pairing that was Petterson and Makeyev was key. No knock against Ilya Makeyev as a player, but he's not a top 6 guy. He's a bottom 6 guy. I'd be ok with him being on the 4th line, but with the Makeyev Cruse on offense, DO NOT PUT HIM ON A TOP LINE! That just kills their offense and crushes the confidence of his line mates as the curse spreads to them. Pettersson and Hoglander, with a line make who can actually play offensive hockey looked like new men. The only reason neither of them got any goals in this game was Pickard. But they can't get goalied like that in every game if they can keep bringing that game. Also, a skilled power forward who can create those loose pucks along the boards while also having the talent to do something with them himself is just what the line needed. Lindholm's big and dangerous enough he can dig the puck out of those scrums on the boards, then go to the net and force the D in too deep, while Hughes or Zedorov can draw the forwards out to the point, creating that separation in the middle for Pettersson and Hoglander to do their thing in the high slot. And if the D doesn't do that, Lindholm's able to do his think in danger zone or Hughes/Zedorov making things happen from the point. That creates a 3 pronged attack that's really hard to defend against. That's why the Miller and Life lines are so effective. They each have that power forward for the low slot and board battles, that skilled forward for the set ups and snipes, and the blueline to prevent the d from just collapsing down low to take the lanes away. Do that and you open up screen lanes for the point shots.

Thankyou petersson for your resilience, you can tell hes trying his hardest for Vancouver, starting to show why hes an asset instead of a liability

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Yeah. I think carrying the offensive anchor of Makayev was just too much of a load for anyone to bare. I like Makayev as a checker, but he's not capable of scoring on a top line. I get that "a skilled player should make the guys around him look better" but a skilled player should not have to drag an anchor around and be held back either, that only makes the skilled player worse over time. A skilled player is always better when surrounded by other skilled players who's skills complement him. Would Brett Hull have been nearly as good without Adam Oates or Crag Janney to feed him? How effective would Naslund have been without Burtuzzi to win those scrums on the boards and How effective would Morrison have been without an elite sniper like Naslund to feed?

[@ameliedewitte]

@@Seriously_Unseriouswell said. So happy they took Mik off Petey's line.. you can see the immediate resurgence of Petey's efforts coming to fruition in one game.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

@@ameliedewitte Yeah, I think that's been really burdening him that 1/3 of his line can't contribute anything to offense and it just means Pettey (and Hogs for that matter) have to deal with more double teams and lane blockages. That'll drag anyone's scoring down. Lindholm's got the right mix of skills to contribute to getting pucks off the boards, taking out the trash in the slot, and making plays and sniping too. That mix has already make more room for Pettey and Hoglander to to Pettey and Hoglander things. They won't get goalied by a Captain Pickard every game as long as they keep it up!

[@christhornycroft3686]

I take nothing for granted as a Canucks fan since 1990. The Oilers are a great team with 2 of the best offensive players in the world. They will feed off their fans in Edmonton and come back swinging. The first period of Game 6 will be crucial for both teams. I expect a fast start from the Oilers to try to blow the Canucks out of the rink early. If the Canucks can weather that storm, that's a good sign for them. I don't expect McDavid or Draisaitl to just give up and roll out the red carpet. They know they can come back. The key for the Canucks is to not get ahead of themselves and respect their opponents. Do exactly what they did in Game 5. Change nothing, except try not to take so many penalties because if they give the Oiler 5 power plays in Game 6, the Oilers won't lay an egg. Yes, some the calls both ways have been iffy, but you just have to play as clean a game as possible. If Pettersson has another strong game, that will go a long way for them, because they've been in this series without him. Oiler fans can say their Big 2 didn't come to play in Game 5, but they did. Sometimes other teams just have an answer on any given night. But they're such good players that that won't happen all the time and the Canucks just have to contain as much as possible. Again, respect your opponents. Understand how good they are and don't take them for granted. Do exactly what you did in Game 5.

[@MandatoryFruit]

This series has been insane dude. If nothing else, I'm lucky to have gotten to witness these absolute titans go at it.

[@nanaimoshoerepair]

J.T. Miller is more valuable than Connor McJesus

[@mr.porkchop6377]

I wouldn't go that far. I would love to have mcjesus on the canucks

[@trobertw]

​@@mr.porkchop6377 in terms of $ value, Miller is the better deal

[@Lloocii]

I don't think he has quite the athleticism or natural talent McDavid does, that's obv but he has outworked and shut McDavid down most of the series. He's not being run 27mins a night night after night too which probably helps.

[@nicky42742]

McFraud* Oilers are washed, send him to AHL

[@felipepineda1585]

Yeah do that and Mcdavid will have at least 250 points

[@FatCatw]

A year ago people would laugh you out of the room if you would have told them the Vancouver Canucks would be up 3-2 to the Edmonton oilers in the second round of the playoffs. What a year this has been.

[@JimmyStruthers-lb3sn]

lol oilers are still going to win the series

[@FatCatw]

@@JimmyStruthers-lb3sn what ever makes you sleep at night, keep coping 🤡

[@frankmarshal7767]

This has been such a fun series to watch as a Canucks fan. Great storylines in this game like Soucy getting the first goal after his suspension, Di Giuseppe the new dad scoring, Millers goal with 32 seconds left after the Canucks got burned in the last game with 38 seconds left, and Arturs friggin Silovs rising to the challenge like a vet, even Petey finally stepped up his game. But Cole makes bad decisions, from play position to getting trapped in extended shifts. He just looks like a deer in the headlights out there. He's definitely the weakest link right now

[@omila76]

Cole is definitely a wrong guy for this team

[@7z181]

Man, that Oilers 2nd period ended up really costing them, lucky it wasn’t worse. Give the Nucks credit tho, they played well.

[@mrquirky3626]

Yeah, shots were 17-4 for the Canucks in that period, Pickard is the only reason they only got outscored 1-0.

[@Gam3rC4m]

Vancouver fan here - I really hope Picard gets a good look from Edm or other orgs after this because he's doing a great job - the man has paid his dues and is showing he can hang in the big boys league even if this is only a 2 game sample size. Shout out to my guy Silovs as well. - man our goalie situation after these playoffs win or lose will be interesting A F!

[@nanaimoshoerepair]

Silov's = Legend

[@matthewsmith2237]

I honestly can’t remember the last time we got to game five with every game being a 1 goal game. What a series

[@MrSupahLMFAO]

Drai said hitting the posts is not good goaltending. Does this mean Pickard wasn't doing "good" goaltending since Canucks hit 4 posts and 2 missed wide open net tonight?

[@devinalexander7415]

Myers isnt getting enough credit lately it seems. Zadorov has been an amazing physical force that can snipe, but Myers has been a beast some of these games. Big hits, great sticks, underrated performances by him. Glad to see Petey step up in a big way tonight! Nice to see him play with a guy that has scored in the past three months.

[@jamiekoh6113]

Why has every game been so damn good. Best series I've ever seen in awhile.

[@enigmaparadox987]

Great game by the Canucks! Strongest most complete 60 min effort by Vancouver. Everyone involved. Congrats Nuckleheads! Btw, that was a brutal "charging" penalty called on Petterson. He turned his back to absorb the hit. That was terrible!

[@larryborsa4396]

Awesome. Those last second goals are killers. Turnabout is so sweet.

[@thegoldpanthera]

If they go through, Silovs deserves to continue goaltending in the next series as well

[@rubberduckie5518]

Man if the Canucks go all the way to Finals with Silovs, we’ll be getting a nice top 6 forward next season to bolster our offence! 😊

Elias Pettersson impressed me the most. His play from game 4 to game 5 went from night to day. Glad he factored in the GWG but the tip pass to Hogz is even more impressive, that's elite passing. Guy's elite, just needs his confidence back

[@doublestrokeroll]

One thing I've noticed and been really really happy about is the crowds at Canuck playoff games this season. I'm almost ready to believe we're FINALLY in a new era with a new group of fans who aren't self loathing sky is falling uptight "here we go again" types that have been such a horrible influence on the team throughout much of it's history. It used to be, like in 2011, when the canucks were down or if the team made a mistake and the other team scored, fans in the building would be all "here we go again" and get deathly silent. Creating an insane amount of tension in the arena. So much so you could tell the players felt it. And the crowd would almost never try to pump the team up by cheering them on when they were behind. Half hearted at best. To the point we were literally the worst fanbase in the NHL. Now? It's been SOOOOO much better. Just the "Let's go petey!" chant.....so great people. That's EXACTLY what they need when things aren't going well. Keep it up people! It's amazing. If they're down by 3 or 4 and no matter the outcome, keep pumping them up. It works. Science actually has proven that negativity will bring down even professional athlete's performances and the opposite is true. You just saw it with EP in this game. I never thought canuck fans would change but you've given this old fan hope that better days and a better experience are here!

[@JCTiggs1]

Draisaitl's meltdown while walking down the hallway after the game was hilarious.

[@alexandersedykh9280]

beauty Canadian hockey!

[@josayeee]

Need the Canucks to move on so I get my turn in the office on our season tickets. Let’s go!!

[@September2004]

McDavid has only had 1 point (an assist) in the last 3 games and only 1 goal so far this series. Collectively, he is a -1. This is really unusual for him. In the previous series against the Kings, he only 1 goal as well but also had 11 assists. 12 points in 5 games and was +3. Against the Canucks, he has half that with 6. And 4 of them came in one game. Good job Canucks. I looked at his game logs to figure out when was the last time he had only 1 point over a 3-game stretch. You have to go all the way back to November when they were sucking and he had 1 assist in 5 games. That 5th game was Jay Woodcroft's last game as a coach.
