Desmith. Enough said.

Precisely

Watever happens here on out hes earned the right for us to have his back. He literally stole the game

Casey Desmith 😮

[@TenaciousTroy]

I was at this game, maybe 20 canucks in the crowd total. Epic. This place was loud but not Rogers Arena loud!

[@ianc643]

Cap!..

[@karenfindlay4185]

I think I held my breath the entire game! Myers was an unexpected hero, and DeSmith was a god. Great game!

[@michaelchow5751]

DeMan, DeSmith, DeLegend

[@SirLemmon]

Another good thing about this game is that Pettersson was making some moves. Maybe his confidence is coming back.

[@Jrrobins99]

yeah he actually looked pretty good and didnt make any mistakes just played some good ol hockey and then eventually now maybe with the best pickpocket himself Lindholm on the pp he might get a goal or 2, i know this does not relate to what this comment is about but i just want to say it to someone but i was in constant distress for Hughes this whole game he was getting absolutely targeted by Nashville and honestly Nashville were kinda dicks this game just trying to ingure Hughes and then desmith luckily we got zaddy on the team and he will not take that lightly (ps. my thoughts on my on why Nashville played more physical is because we were just more physical than them last 2 games and they didnt like it)

[@SokomPwnage]

I had no doubts that Desmith is good, its just that hes always been a backup goalie. We've seen him with the increased workload and I hope he paces himself while Demko is out. Defence felt good though. Desmith's rebound control is kinda of iffy but with a combination of Preds not capitalizing on chances and Canucks defense zone play collapsing in a bit closer now, think we can at least beat Nashville.

[@andyjassal822]

AaaaAaaaaAAAAAaaaaAAAAHHHhhhhHhhhhHhHHHHHH this is what I felt like when I was watching this game😂😂😂

[@sbrown1953]

My Fitbit thought I was doing a work-out in the last few minutes of the 3rd.

[@gongfumaster]

3rd period took years off my life

[@tylerdurden4006]

Only 12 shots and a win in the playoffs, ties a modern day record, the devils had 10 shots decades ago.

[@ZoltarWOT]

with so few shots on goal, Vancouver should be very happy for this win

[@DeathGamingOfficialYT]

Desmith, WHO DID NOT TRUST HIM??? fully capable of taking over for demko while hes out, althought we would love to see demko, desmith is absoluterly solid!

[@Official_canuck_kid]

Respect desmith🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

[@shizuokaBLUES]

I would have liked to have seen some major retribution by Zadorov or Joshua on Josi for the constant harassment of Hughes. A few hard hits are to be expected through a game but Hughes was really taken advantage of. Zadorov’s clean hit was a good start for sure, but much more of this needed. It makes me pine for the Gino Odjiick days. Great summary Dean and now my go to watch after a game !! Thanks

[@casketbrain7697]

A Win Is A Win

[@TheeMasterDoge]

In DeSmith We Trust.

[@terminalfilms8074]

One thing you missed. In the last three minutes of the Third our defense was amazing. We kept the other team in their zone to prevent their goalie from being able to get to the bench. But DeSmith godbless em it was a great performance.

[@zawacchi]

Sure, Demko is and remains our best & #1 goalie. But damn. Casey really proved his worth this game and honestly I think he’s probably one of, if not the best, #2 goalies in the league. Absolutely love this guy. I’m not even worried anymore for Game 4, I’ve we play just as well as Game 3, we should win no problem. Go Canucks go!

[@ZadiesLIVE]

[@sheskiwiw]

i love that desmith was smiling after that smack but i was screaming my head off. dont touch our back up goalie i will fly down their and kick their asses (i couldnt even fight my own shadow) and they were attacking Hughes like crazy!!! they acting a lot like predators in the wild ill give them that

[@LLum-zo7sr]

They didn't challenge the goal the Preds got. One of the preds had his skate in the crease, preventing De Smith from sliding over to make a save.

[@nobuddy2012]

Didn't want to give them a PP with 3 minutes left to play. They pull their goalie and it's 4 on 6.

[@Lawrence-re6ri]

​@nobuddy2012 yes. It's not worth the chance at that point in the game.

[@brianstanding1609]

DeSmith and special teams got it done. The Canucks didn’t play well in the third. Will take the W and hope they play a full game on Sunday.

[@RandomDudeidk]

ngl that 5v3 kind of worried me, but the boys pushed on

[@kcshfl]

Key takeaway from tonight is that EP40 fades hard mi/late season. Maybe take the Mark stone approach with him and put him on LTIR for a couple months while he recharges and comes back strong in the playoffs.

[@JBdoesball]

EP played solid today honestly

[@kcshfl]

@@JBdoesball looked invisible outside of the secondary assist to me. Maybe in wrong though

[@windowsxp9120]

He blocked shots, got an assist, created scoring chances. Man the ep40 hate wagon is so annoying. It’s like canucks fans expect him to be Gretzky every game.

[@CashMacGregor]

after the 2nd period mc clean said they are playing a masterpiece with only 10 shots. we've taken back home ice advantage the rest of the way.

[@kalebdejong3381]

Canucks Fanbase after Game 2: Bro, what is DeSmith even doing?We're not going to go far. DeSmith after Game 3: And I took that Personally. Canucks Fans after Game 3: In DeSmith we trust.

[@windowsxp9120]

This game took at least 1 year off my life. Jeeez. Felt bad for hughes. You could see the difference in his play cause he was rattled from getting bodied all game. We still managed to get the W and thats all that matters.

[@maniacchen]

CD was great finally

[@jugaloking69dope58]

this when the team must unite and bond as a team! look at when st loius won the cup, unproven goilie everyone doing there job. just need to get pass this round maybe win two in nashville take it to 6 games.

[@seamusoleary3712]

Yes, they need a better performance on Sunday. There has to be some counter attack to the Preds pressure. Has to be!!!!

[@sawfiler1958]

Casey DeWall, I kinda like that.

[@jow.6605]

All I can say is “Phew!

[@erosnemesis]

Casey DeFense

[@williamshortreed7609]

The only info I can find on Demko was that it is a unique injury.. could be anything.

[@johnwythe1409]

Groin injury. Typical of a day to day, then week to week status.

[@dhdoctors]

Casey pulled a wabbit!

[@Hiddensquid49]

Iv been saying since the all-star break that Tyler Myers was going to come alive in the playoffs, tonight I’m starting to see I was right.

[@raymondleemanpaper]

I was pretty sure if Nashville had scored their first goal, they would immediately score the next one and win the game in overtime. Thank goodness it didn't happen

[@breezy3176]

And then game 4 happened

Great stuff as always Deaner!

I wasn't stressed at all it was weird. I just knew preds wouldn't score

Everything the Preds fans were saying made them the better team in Game 2 all of a sudden doesn’t count when it applies to the Canucks in game 3 lol

[@santillanard]

What happened to the Canucks offence???that dominated all seasons long?

[@macek1455]

DeSmith? No, DeWall

[@karlkarlsson9126]

12 shots on goal, and two PP goals is the summery of this game. Boring game, and Canucks will not get a cup playing like this, but things might change against other teams, I still think they can win against Nashville, but they can't let their guard down.

What?? Vancouvers defense was just as good if not better than phoenixes offense. Even in the last ten minutes.

[@kentonriggs9406]

God will somebody show Tockett clips of how they played before the trade.. And since side by side. Less than 20 shots per game with this offensive core is a disgrace... and doesn't work long term

[@LLitterally]

Did you tell this to Preds last game?

[@johnwythe1409]

Which trade are we talking about?

[@johnwythe1409]

32 blocked shots in game two. Number of shots on goal doesn't matter, if you can make them count, and keep the puck out of your own goal. Certainly the way to play against a team that was carrying the play. Preds will be shaking there heads, and trying to figure out the DeSmith wall. Agree can't play every game like this. Defending so much has got to be tiring, more so that playing in the offensive zone. Every game this series has been a low shot total for both teams.

[@nobuddy2012]

Preds should have pulled their goalie on the 5 on 3 to make it a 6 on 3.

[@mastersmmaandfitness7661]

in the meantime Petey is still missing

[@AtomSplittingScience]

I just came here to see how many people were singing DeSmith's praises after saying he was going to cost us the playoffs last game. Looks like most people. Quit being bandwagon fans

[@eminbc]

Watching game 4. Pettersson standing around waiting for a pass, not moving around to make it harder for Preds. Your contract too great a burden Petey?

[@timw4369]

The crowd was nowhere near as loud as vancouver

[@brandonf24]

Just got home from the game...the Preds just did the most quintessentially Preds thing to do...have all the momentum after stealing a win out of Vancouver, an opportunity against yet another backup netminder in a playoff series, throw five catfish and go 0-5 on the PP alla 2019 fashion, and then just giftwrap a win for their opponent without being a threat all night while making DeSmith look like a Vezina-caliber netminder. Same 💩 different year. This is why the league doesn't take you seriously, Preds. Going in again on Sunday...next time you all wanna jerk us around with a lackadaisical, half-assed effort and waste our time, why don't you stay in the locker room or go home and do that with a moist towel before you come back into Bridgestone Arena and embarrass yourselves on home ice.

[@InsneevledGD]

casey destopeverything

[@tonynguyen6770]

Desmith sucks he has a losing record for this year. And that is with a team like the canucks. He can catch, he can't control his rebounds and he is like a Swiss cheese. Desmith has invisible holes everywhere. Desmith is not reliable at all. They should've traded him for a defense big d men.

[@Hiddensquid49]

…. Big like Zadorov or big like Soucy or big like Ian Cole or really big like Tyler Myers…. Plus DeSmith just robbed Nashville tonight, so what part of your comment makes sense.
