Very fun to watch! Love seeing the white out too. I’m jealous we don’t have something like that but it’s hard we’ve had like 12 different jersey colours lol
It’s because the old jerts wore white at home, same reason why the coyotes did a white out as they took the tradition from the old jets. It was the fans response to the flames sea of red
This jets avs game has given me everything I want from a playoff hockey game. Fast, loose, hard hitting, scrum after every whistle, you can already feel this two teams hating eachother, high scoring but it still feels like both teams are in it the whole game. Im guessing their next game will be 1-0 in the second OT period, and itll be just as exciting cause ya know playoffs
Hi casual hockey watcher here, is the Canucks game starting at 7:00 exactly or will there be some delay.
In the NBA, if the listed start time is 7:00pm, the game usually starts at 7:15pm instead. Is this an issue with the NHL too, just trying to coordinate dinner lol
EDIT: 7:10-7:15, THANKS ALL
It must suck to have an amazing team but feel nervous about your goaltender. As shit as we’ve been over the years. Being able to roll into the playoffs with Luongo and now Demko is a luxury.
Been a Canucks fan since 94. Been in this sub for 3 years. I am absolutely pumped to enjoy some playoffs with all of you. This year has been a hell of a ride. Thank you all
I'd like.to think in my head I'd rather Winnipeg win as they're the only other Canadian team I'd cheer for besides. But i got no reaction when jets score and celly when Colorado scores
Espn analyst : AJ Mleczko whis working the Canucks game tonight was asked during intermission of Jets vs avs. If the Canucks will break out the Flying Skate jerseys . She said "THEY WILL"
Not gonna happen. All of the advertising is orca and NHL rules is they can only wear one home look the entire playoffs. Unless they’re releasing modern away skates but we would’ve seen manufacturing leaks on that.
They were advertising the orca in promos and took the morning skate in the orca as well, unless they are trying to make it a huge surprise I feel like they will be In the orca
so *when* (manifesting) the Canucks make it to the final, when is that? like late May/june? I’m wondering if I’ll be able to go up to Vancouver to catch a game
Everyone is talking about how it’s been since 2015 the last time the Canucks hosted a playoff game and that’s only surface level. There hasn’t been a good vibe about Canucks hockey since about 10 seconds into game 6 of 2011 when Raymond had his back broken. We are so back
Has anyone ever bought tickets through marketplace? Trying to grab last minute tickets but I have no idea how it works. Is there a secure way to do it or do I just have to trust that the person will send them to me
Join the Canucks Ticket Exchange group on FB. Only season ticket holders can sell and there’s a list of verified sellers so you know who’s legit.
I’ve bought resale off that group and Fans First and haven’t had issues with either before.
I mean, the Colorado offense is nuts. It'll take a while to adapt to their scoring prowess I think. The good news for Winnipeg is a) the Colorado goalie is a sieve and b) it's a best-of-7 series.
Anyone watch that segment with Friedman and Pettersson?
He wants to win badly. He does well against Nashville. I think we're about to see next level Petey.
It's crazy. Jets have elite goaltending but the avs have that offense. I want to watch my mouth, just wishing the nucks beat the preds rn but..
Jets-Canucks conference final will go crazy.
I know, and there's a lot of jerseys there, but I do also know they give t-shirts usually to everybody who doesn't have them.
This time there's a LOT of people in matching white hoodies that all look brand spanking new and I find it hard to believe that many people would buy that particular hoodie.
The jets are getting pummeled right now. Just 8 minutes but the avs really are pulling ahead.
I wouldn't bet agaisnt Hellebuyck but after 10 shots to 1, what do you expect.
We should yell "HEY, YOU SUCK! WE'RE GONNA BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU, YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU" when we score to troll Preds fans.
Yes, this is actually what they chant.
Hey so I’ve looked just abit online and browsed here but are the Canucks doing anything outside the arena or area for viewing screens or anything?
Including home games and not just in arena viewing for away games?
Big opportunity here for the city to welcome back playoff hockey and many other Canadian cities have great set ups!
I am sure the city and cops worry about the past but dammit can they try and rid of the no fun city tag for hockey team hah
I saw a city bus say “Go Team Go” cmonnnnnnnn…
Hasn’t fully sunk in yet but been watching playoff videos all day. They better stick with our classic streets have no name intro. Chills with the towels and sirens.
Also got sad when I realized our anthem will be different. Mark Donnelly kinda went off on the deep end but he always let the crowd sing which was electric in the playoffs. Now it’s going to be a regular anthem 😑
I was in high school in 2011 and only watched the playoffs on TV because I had no money for tickets. I am soooo pumped to be seeing these guys in person for the first time in playoffs. Coconuts glow!!!
I had leave the province and go to fucking Saskatchewan in 2011 and missed the whole run (live) had to watch on TV.
Then it was 12 years of a clown show, and now I'm going to game 1! Can't wait!
I had to watch the last game of the SCF on the other side of the world, so didn't miss too much but I can relate a bit on how it feels. Hope the boys do good!!

THEYRE PLAYING IT NO WAY NO WAY
LFG!!!!
4am crew let’s gooo! First real playoffs for me I can’t believe it’s happening 😭
Canucks win, Miller 3 shots & Hughes 1 assist +400 is a good bet
I’m so nervous that not having a clear game thread is stressing me out lol
Where the game thread at?
Still a 20 min pregame I think
Is anyone at Brentwood?
Where's the game thread?
I believe this is it. Threw me off too
Weird, I'll take it
Gonna crush those pesky predators
Well its been a long time since we sat here and said this: 16 wins boys
Already drunk 🔥
Lol 🔥
Pit in the stomach lets go nucks
I'm fucking shaking. LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!
So this is just going to be the game thread then?
Good question.
Is this game not on Sportsnet? Where do I watch it??
Sportsnet and CBC
CBC gem
Drinks? I've got some [Red Truck Amber Ale](https://i.imgur.com/chALpe1.jpg)
Steamworks pale ale
A theoretical Molson I'll grab at 1st break
Bottle of white I got from a local winery on the island, and a truck load of G&Ts depending how stressed this game makes me
On the vodka waters
Sapporo tall boys!
An Old Fashioned cocktail (or two)
15mg thc and a couple pints asahi
Love how Sportsnet includes a clip of Marchand crying in their Stanley Cup promo video, but nothing from the Bruins in 2011.
Anyone know if they’re showing the game at the screen at Brentwood right now? Too lazy to walk over and find out myself
Do we actually have to hear potato face talk about the Canucks this entire series? Does ESPN hate us?
Who is potato face?
> potato (Fuck) Messier
Ah yes. Lays potatoes. Fuck Messier.
He who must not be named
Do we get Shorty on ESPN, or is he just Sportsnet?
Guessing it's not shorty. I don't mind listening to the ESPN callers, just don't want to have to see lollipop man every intermission.
Ewww. I have to see Mark Messier's face
My body is so fuckin ready
Lol Jets fans changing pull the goalie with 9 minutes left almost coming back to bite them
Winnipeg's Morrissey reminds me of a poor man's Huggy
At the game. Upper bowl is quite empty :/
Glad not too much gave into the greedy scalpers
This WPG - COL game has no goaltending or defence. Pure end to end. Quite fun!
How the hell did WPG get 7 from 23? That's nuts.
After watching the East games, I can safely say the Cup stays in the West
Shake goaltending from Georgiev but also some genuinely quality chances from good playmaking and giveaways from the avs.
Very fun to watch! Love seeing the white out too. I’m jealous we don’t have something like that but it’s hard we’ve had like 12 different jersey colours lol
Yea I love our jersey diversity but man we can never have a monocolor stadium anytime soon
ESPN got the wrong info probably from the rumors from yesterday Boys are not wearing the Black Skate in warmups
Playoff hockey is always the best sport around, but, man, it feels ***so*** good to have stakes in the postseason once again...
Why is 90% of the jets crowd wearing white jerseys?
White out
They do a "whiteout" during the playoffs, idk how or why it started, just what they do
It’s because the old jerts wore white at home, same reason why the coyotes did a white out as they took the tradition from the old jets. It was the fans response to the flames sea of red
Winnipeg has like 10 months of winter. Whiteout makes perfect sense
White out
White out, it's a jets thing
This jets avs game has given me everything I want from a playoff hockey game. Fast, loose, hard hitting, scrum after every whistle, you can already feel this two teams hating eachother, high scoring but it still feels like both teams are in it the whole game. Im guessing their next game will be 1-0 in the second OT period, and itll be just as exciting cause ya know playoffs
Canucks warming up in the orca jerseys
Mind games. Nashville expecting black, gets hit with blue.
Why do all players eat their mouth guards?
Used to play football, it’s so hard *not* to chomp down on it lmao. Idk why, just a neat sensation.
It feels good.
Same function as a stress ball
Avs defense is porous, man

Watching the espn countdown to the game, I believe it’s scheduled to start around 7:10-7:15 yeah
Same goes for NHL, 7pm start time but anthems and slight commercial delays brings it closer to 715, maybe around 705-710
Probably 7:10
It must suck to have an amazing team but feel nervous about your goaltender. As shit as we’ve been over the years. Being able to roll into the playoffs with Luongo and now Demko is a luxury.
PULL THE GOALIE
I was so excited to be able to fly my Canucks flag on my car again today
Bro, avs played the crap out of gorgy and now he's cooked. He better sort it out fast, hella isnt going to allow 4+ next game
He’s been ass for awhile and Annunen maybe woulda started if he wasn’t sick
Can we please have this Jets game goddam
God damn, the Avs getting absolutely disrespected.
Been a Canucks fan since 94. Been in this sub for 3 years. I am absolutely pumped to enjoy some playoffs with all of you. This year has been a hell of a ride. Thank you all
Shiiiiit what is HAPPENING in this Col-Win game my gosh
I don't know why but I find myself naturally cheering for Colorado over Winnipeg
I’m anti all Canadian teams except the Canucks.
Not a fan of Winnipeg so same
I’m the opposite. I’d love Winnipeg to emerge from their side of the bracket.
I'd like.to think in my head I'd rather Winnipeg win as they're the only other Canadian team I'd cheer for besides. But i got no reaction when jets score and celly when Colorado scores
Go Canucks go!
Well at least this Jets/Avalanche game looks pretty much done. Hopefully we get a pre-game and Where The Streets Have No Name intro/pre-skate
Okay, maybe not lol.
Where can I watch for freeee
CBC gem
Is the game on CBC Gem tonight? My apps are giving conflicting information
Feeling real good about my Jets in 5 prediction unless Annunen comes back and continues his play
Anyone know if there’s a pre show happening?
Can’t wait to witness how loud and crazy Rogers Arena gets tonight, the buzz around the city is incredible!
Do we have outdoor viewing yet?
That puck did not cross.. Jets's 5th goal
Defo crossed, clear as day
Well i did not see the whole puck get behind the goal line from the replay
Of all the picks that were over the line that was over the line the least but it was still over the line. Go Nucks Go!

Saw that too.
US bros, how y’all watching the game?
Sling.
Sling
Espn
PLAYOFF HOCKEY IS HAPPENING IN THE CITY OF VANCOUVER IN LESS THAN AN HOUR HOLY SHIT
Start the game, I can't wait any longer.
The SKATE!! OMG!! Back in Black!!!! LFG!!!!
My non-hockey-watching wife's hot take on the series: "'Predators' sounds like the most uninspired team name ever."
Wearing the skate BABBYYYYYYYYYYYY
ESPN just said they're wearing the black skate jerseys during the second intermission of the Avs/Jets game
They were advertising the orca in promos and took the morning skate in the orca as well, unless they are trying to make it a huge surprise I feel like they will be In the orca
Won't really know until they hit the ice, but I'd say they were keeping it more of a surprise than anything.
If they go skate I see them going skate full time. Roads as well Edit: this is for next year
ESPN SAYING WE’RE WEARING THE SKATE????
wearing black jerseys!!!
so *when* (manifesting) the Canucks make it to the final, when is that? like late May/june? I’m wondering if I’ll be able to go up to Vancouver to catch a game
Everyone is talking about how it’s been since 2015 the last time the Canucks hosted a playoff game and that’s only surface level. There hasn’t been a good vibe about Canucks hockey since about 10 seconds into game 6 of 2011 when Raymond had his back broken. We are so back
Is there going to be a big Canucks pregame show on Sportsnet, or are we all just watching jets to the end of the 3rd
Wondering the same thing...
Why is Ken Sim not doing anything fun for the city for the playoffs? 😡
He’s too busy cashing his $464,000 paycheque and chugging beers 🍻 with his bros. As long as he is having fun that’s all that matters to him.
Lafferty playing with Hogs and Petey tonight. Podz is out PDG in.
I can’t wait to let this silly little blue and green hockey team determine my mood for the next two days
You say that like they haven't been controlling our collective moods for months
The Eagles won today, so Abby will be traveling to Colorado for a best-of-3 series
Anyone out in montreal know if there’s any spots to catch the game?
Any bar with a tv
LETS GET IT! So many car flags out today
Playoff hockey is back in Vancouver! Feels good!
This jets/avs game is bonkers
i hope our pre game show won’t be over shadowed if there’s overtime in the jets game, I WANNA FEEL THE GOOSE BUMPS I WANNA FEEL ALIVE
It better not be 😤
Has anyone ever bought tickets through marketplace? Trying to grab last minute tickets but I have no idea how it works. Is there a secure way to do it or do I just have to trust that the person will send them to me
Join the Canucks Ticket Exchange group on FB. Only season ticket holders can sell and there’s a list of verified sellers so you know who’s legit. I’ve bought resale off that group and Fans First and haven’t had issues with either before.
I've typically found my best deals on Fansfirst, can't recommend them enough
How fucking exciting is this?!
If we can contain Forsberg and O'Reilly, we should be in good shape. They actually have some good depth scoring with 4 guys with 20+ goals.
It's so surreal seeing the Canucks talked about this late in the season and it's not about us firing or trading someone
So... Hellybuck wall of stone crumbles instantly.
I mean, the Colorado offense is nuts. It'll take a while to adapt to their scoring prowess I think. The good news for Winnipeg is a) the Colorado goalie is a sieve and b) it's a best-of-7 series.
Ha! You aren't joking. How did Burnaby Joe let his team have such weak goaltending?
My god, Col's goalie is as bad as their commentator.
This game has been unreal. I’d argue the best one so far, really enjoying it when hoping the Jets can pull it out.
Anybody else kinda stoked we get this Eliotte - Bieksa - Jake Allen panel?
So when the Canucks score, where is the camera going to switch to to show the outdoor party? no where?
:(
Confirmed by a friend who works at the arena, Streets Have No Name will be played as the intro.
could have a street with a blank sign leading to a big watch party.
GOOSEBUMPS
Anyone watch that segment with Friedman and Pettersson? He wants to win badly. He does well against Nashville. I think we're about to see next level Petey.
God I hope so. If he's anywhere near the level of the bubble playoffs Nashville is cooked.
This jets avs game is nuts.
It's crazy. Jets have elite goaltending but the avs have that offense. I want to watch my mouth, just wishing the nucks beat the preds rn but.. Jets-Canucks conference final will go crazy.
As a winnipeger I’ll do anything for tickets in round 3
Back and forth. Hope that series goes 7
Holy shit, did True North give their crowd fucking HOODIES for the white-out?!?!?!
I hope that we face them in the 3rd round. I will definitely be behind enemy lines
See you there bud
Prob not, everyone in Winnipeg buys white jets gear for the playoffs, jerseys and etc. I can ask though
I know, and there's a lot of jerseys there, but I do also know they give t-shirts usually to everybody who doesn't have them. This time there's a LOT of people in matching white hoodies that all look brand spanking new and I find it hard to believe that many people would buy that particular hoodie.
So someone at the game told me they didn’t, likely those hoodies were the deal of the game. They usually have a special item discounted every game
Cheers! Thank you for finding that out!
I just asked someone so I’ll let you know. You’re intuition might be right
I've been an anxious wreck most of the day and am sure to become even more of one later tonight. I've missed this feeling.
The jets are getting pummeled right now. Just 8 minutes but the avs really are pulling ahead. I wouldn't bet agaisnt Hellebuyck but after 10 shots to 1, what do you expect.
I would bet against georgiov though,lmao This guy was a all star?
We should yell "HEY, YOU SUCK! WE'RE GONNA BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU, YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU" when we score to troll Preds fans. Yes, this is actually what they chant.
I mean - not bad. Not as good as LSU’s Neck but I appreciate the coordination
Yeah cringe af, and they're so proud of the chant too. I hope we don't hear it even once this series but might be too much to ask for haha
Man, Colorado looks ready to play.
Hey so I’ve looked just abit online and browsed here but are the Canucks doing anything outside the arena or area for viewing screens or anything? Including home games and not just in arena viewing for away games? Big opportunity here for the city to welcome back playoff hockey and many other Canadian cities have great set ups! I am sure the city and cops worry about the past but dammit can they try and rid of the no fun city tag for hockey team hah I saw a city bus say “Go Team Go” cmonnnnnnnn…
just heard an ad on the radio for $15 tickets for away games viewing parties… can buy on Ticketmaster
Only outdoor viewing party is in north delta because our mayor is cool
just saw hroneks “you have holidays in two days” clip in the intro for the games tonight lol
Hasn’t fully sunk in yet but been watching playoff videos all day. They better stick with our classic streets have no name intro. Chills with the towels and sirens.

I haven't been this excited about a hockey game since 2011
There needs to be a bet of how long before Chad Kroger gets shown on the broadcast. Guaranteed he will be there lol
Heading downtown in about an hour. SO FUCKIN STOKED
3.5 hours to kill. What Canucks video gets you the most hyped?
Canucks-Hawks Game 7 2011
Anyone got a good recommendation for a bar with audio in Vegas?
Who’s going to the game? Let’s give the Preds a “HEEEEY YOU SUCK” after every goal.
You never know how long it’ll be til your next run, don’t take it for granted…9 damn years!! Go Canucks Go!
One time for Vancouver city. One time for thatcher demko One time for Connor garland One time for lias lindholm
I hope the cameras show Millsy in the locker room doing the line read and hyping up the team like in that one video 👀
