I'm told DiGiuseppe's wife delivered a baby. I disagree. It wasn't delivery. It was DiGiuseppe.

Rangers fan here, I have to say that I am REALLY REALLY impressed with Vancouver. Feel like I was in the minority for thinking that they were an easy pick compared to Nashville and then for having them likely winning the series over the Edmonton McJesus. Rick Tocchet is just a fantastic coach who gets his teams to play winning hockey. JT Miller is one of my favorite hockey players ever, so proud of him and how far he's come since the days of NY and Tampa. What else can you say about Elias Lindholm. Crucial, absolutely vital pickup playing well at the most important time. Zadorov likewise; I don't know if Carolina truly "won" the trade deadline. Dakota Joshua is a young stud. Can't believe Toronto wasted the chance to have him. Quinn Hughes is THE BEST of the brothers. Yep i said it. The improvement in his game is just Norris-worthy, he will be the best overall D man in hockey as soon as next season. Maybe he already is. And Boeser is just a stud. He's everything NJD wishes they had gotten in Timo, but way more consistent. After last game I said "Imagine where this team would be if Petterson ever manages to escape the shadow realm." Lo and behold, it happened. And now they are one win away, and doing all this while missing Demko AND their second string goaltender, the talented but fragile DeSmith. But what might be the MOST IMPRESSIVE part of Vancouver is the talent and quality of their depth players. Happy to see Di Guiseppe have a role in this one he is a very solid hockey player who does it by the book and rarely ever makes mistakes. Even guys like Myers are just... sturdier than the depth guys on other (Canada) teams. It really shines thru in these playoff series I think. In fact, top to bottom Vancouver is much closer to Dallas in terms of their overall talent level. And yet the sports media concensus: "My boy McDougall gon' win the cup!" -- Kenny Smith or Shaq, probably Ladies and gentleman, take a look: this is the best hope of bringing Stanley back to Canada. This team has a fantastic blend of high end skill, finishing talent, gritty two way players and excellent checking and netminding, that catapulted them to the top of the standings from the very start of the year. And now we are learning THEY HAVE THE RESILIENCY AND DESIRE TO LEGITIMATELY GET THIS DONE FOR THE LONG TORTURED FANS OF VANCOUVER. Its actually quite inspiring! Good on you, boys. Go 'Nucks go. Congrats Shannon - enjoy it as much as you can, I know it must feel like a dream come true. Sincerely from a Rangers fan.

First time this postseason without a PPG for the oilers crazy how good this Canucks team really can be

Today we got two steps closer to a 1994 rematch

Like all Canucks fans, we were waiting for this team to show up all playoffs. That new 4th line of Di Giuseppe, Aman and Podkolzin looked amazing.

Wow, Vancouver just played a reverse Uno card on Edmonton after that Game 4 LMAO

Petey and Miller chants were awesome. What a series

No question. Silovs gets the start.

Oilers going 0-5 on the power play is nuts. The Canucks have gotten so good at killing the oilers main source of attack

I just feel so happy. Vancouver is playing their best hockey now. I expect a lot of push back from Edmonton, but this game makes me believe more and more that Vancouver can take the series.

I love seeing shannons teams do well

Canucks were just the all-around better team today.

This Canucks team is really something special. They've been getting some gutsy wins and there is just no quit with them. They've shown a ton of heart and I really hope this is a run for the ages for them.

As an Oilers fan… who are all these people saying the Oilers are WAY better? This is a dead close series and the Canucks deserve to be ahead.

The Lindholm trade is looking golden now. Zadorov is just a beast.

Massive win for the Canucks, still lots of hockey to be played in this series and could still go either way but GO CANUCKS GO

Vegas fan here, I JUMPED out of my seat when Miller scored the game winner! So good.

You love to see Vancouver beat the odds.

Tocchet finally went back to the old lines.

Two incredible hockey games today. What a finish by JT Miller

As a Nashville fan I am truly enjoying seeing the Canucks lead the series with Edmonton. Originally I was pulling against Edmonton but watching the Canucks play is so much fun! The chemistry on this team is electric! Here’s to hoping they can win in Edmonton because I really want to see them play in Round 3!

Insanely fast upload. Shannon must be excited

If the Canucks can close this out on Saturday, with how Dallas and Colorado have looked throughout their runs I really wouldn't be surprised to see Demko come back and the Canucks steal the WCF

Pete had a different motor tonight. Looked really good.

You love to see Vancouver beat the odds

Not a Vancouver fan, but they definitely have the most diverse collection of throwback jerseys.

Dear Canucks can you win the next game by 2-3 goals so we can relax a little bit.

In this game I learned a new penatly, the standing still charging. Glad to see that wasn't anything that decided the game.

Silovs, again, was f'in brilliant

A happy night for Shannon is a happy night for me

The better team won tonight! Vancouver flipped the script

PDG brought the good vibes!

Thank you Calgary

Canucks found quick answers to Oilers go ahead goals to make sure they didn't carry too much momentum. I'm an Oilers fan, though Van deserved the W tonight. A well played game and a change up on PK strategy that really seemed to work. Also crazy that a game with 22 penalty minutes had 0 PP goals! Both teams looking rough there tonight

Pickard trying to save the goal that Miller just scored 😂

Ep40 finally became a difference maker! fuck it was nice to see him dangle and make crisp passes

Great game. Miller was clutch. Pettersson played great. And Silovs is incredible

Oilers GM got Henrique, Carrick and Stetcher, none of which are even playing in the playoffs right now. Canucks GM got Zadorov and Lindholm, and their results have spoken for themselves. Especially Zadorov. I'm tired of seeing Mcdavid and Drai's primes be wasted. Not upgraded Ceci on Defense was a crime

If Canucks reach next round they need to bring back Jim Hughson

Canucks may be on the verge of something magical. Would be a great run if they make it the distance

Some guy thinks Edmonton is clearly a better team? Is that why they have lost 7 of the 9 games they played this year?

This new Swed-line played like proper vikings tonight.

No matter what happens, the Canucks have already blown 80-90% of analysts out of the water. This team is damn good.

I say it’s Silovs net unless Demko is without a doubt 100%

I was freaking out when Knoblauch called the ref on the Miller goal 😂😂😂 please let it count

As a fan of both teams, this has been highly entertaining.

Silovs has been great, wouldn't be mad if he started game 6 ❤ go canucks!!

What a win and what a series! Knew the team would respond to Tocchet's comments, let's go!

Seems like it helps to call out players. That's why I wanted rick bowness to call out the jets during their pathetic 1st round series against the avs, but he didn't

In summary : YES!!!! Miller is $$$! Wildest most entertaining season in club history! Unbelievable!

Go with the hot hand. Keep silovs in. No need to rush back demko.

Great game from the Canucks. I was super happy with the teamwork and passes seemed to really click in the latter two periods. Pickard was very good for them. We laid a lot of hits, which seems to be the deciding factor for whatever reason for this Canucks team.

I agree that this was Vancouver's best game of the playoffs. Yet I was still scared that there would be some random unlucky bounce that would score against the Canucks even though they carried the play, they would get screwed over. Love the fair review even though we know you're a Nucks fan. This is a great example of how to be a homer but a legit reviewer. Cheers!

As an Oiler fan, that was so embarrassing. No effort at all, like wtf. I honestly feel that McDavid and Draisaitl were overplayed and are just tired.

I was right there with you on the DiGiuseppe goal. When the refs huddled I was saying "No, no, please, you can't take it away.." and seeing the linesman emphatically pointing at Draisaitl, my respect for that linesman grew immensely. I had another stab of worry that the Canucks might be called for too many men but the entry was legit and the goal stood. That was the point when I had a feeling it was going to be our night. Pickard drove me crazy and I worried that he was going to author another Cinderella story about a backup goalie being thrust into the fray and stealing the series. Thank God, J.T., Petey and Lindholm (not necessarily in that order) that was not the case tonight. Great game. Regardless of what happens from here on in, this has been a dream season and playoffs and speaking as a Canucks fan since the old Western League days (Yes, I'm old and have so many memories of great Canuck moments over 54 years in the NHL) this is a season I'll treasure to the grave.

Periods 2-3 best game by far Canucks have played during playoffs..Canucks actually skated..and had neutral zone drive..over and over...even if the outcome had canucks lose this game...they were very enjoyable to watch this evening!

Thank you for your consistency, Shannon! I haven’t been this thrilled for hockey in a long time.

These playoffs have been so damn exciting!

throwing things on the ice is an emotional decision not a logical one. sometimes ppl do dumb stuff. I wouldnt do it but i liked watching it

Im an oilers fan and that was an abysmal effort. Im honestly embarassed.

Excellent game for Vancouver. Great chance to win the series. Can't ask much more from them.

Oilers in 9

Who should start? 1. Conn Smythe candidate? 2. Vezina candidate? That's a tough choice

The call on Joshua where McDiva did his best Brazilian Neymar Dive was criminal. Then came the Pettersson Charging Call....Breathtaking corruption!

I love this Canucks team. They have lots of fight and heart. Regardless of what happens I'm super proud to be a fan.

People are underrating myers n soucys impact on the mcdavid matchup

The oilers fan who burned the canucks jerseys in Van woke up the team.

Vancouver needs to win the next game to have any sort of luck in the next series. That small break in between is such a big factor.

I'm an Oilers fan, and I have to say that Vancouver deserved to win this one. Awful effort by the Oilers in the 2nd and 3rd periods. Until this game, the Oilers were dominating in overall play, but Silovs has been unbelievable.

Canucks PK is nuts!

That charging penalty was absolute garbage. That's the kind of call that the league needs to deal with. Obviously this won't be public, but you have to talk to the ref about the rules.

Shannon....I love your work, BUT....did you even watch the charging call on EP40? Even the CBC clowns couldn't fathom the call. I was effing flabbergasted.

Lots of honking & jubilance here in Vancouver too! 👍

Giuseppe Pizzeria = Phil Di Giuseppe 🍕🍕🍕

Its Silovs net to lose, not demkos to take.

Ref was bullshit, I’m happy we threw shit on the ice. It’s stupid but I like it

Grats, Shannon

The boys are buzzin! Exciting game, some really good back and forth chances for both sides. I know my man Shannon is smiling after that one!

Well so much for the experts predictions of a four game sweep by the Oilers. 😆 Gotta love it!

Last time I was this early the Oilers scored on the power play…

i admit i'm rooting for the oilers, but i've unfortunately become a big silovs fan despite not liking the canucks as a whole lmao. bro played in 9 total NHL games prior to these playoffs and he's shown that he can easily be an NHL starting goalie. similarly with pickard, seeing the man live out his dreams and finally get to start/play his first NHL playoff games at age 32 (and playing really well) is fun to see. hope to see this one go to 7 games.

At this point I have forgotten we even had Demko 😂😂😂

As much of a fan of Demko as I am, I am going to say at this point, and from how he has proved himself, Silovs must be in the net for as long as he continues this run. If Demko comes back and Silovs has a bad game, then maybe you put Demko in, but for right now Silovs is the man. I take back everything I said about the Canucks after Demko went down. Silovs has been great.

7:10 that 4th like was really good for us tonight, forechecking, earning offensive zone time

"The ref is told he sucks" hahahaha love how casually you drop that in there

Thank you for these amazing videos! Much love from Germany GoCanucksGo

Canuck objective for game 6: Avoid making Yvonne say "Oh no".

Amazing game. I didn’t wear my Johnny Canuck jersey but i did rub the patch between periods.

This run is so much fun to watch, love it!

Thanks, Shannon!

Tocc pushed the right buttons. Everyone stepped up…

My favorite hockey channel your recaps are great and fair unbiased as possible. The word of the day schmozzle!

An exciting year for The Hockey Guy, with 2 of his teams maybe playing each other in the next round. And hard-to-kill Boston's still going!

Shannon seems excited!! He's trying his best but damn he seems happy

ride the hot goalie

Game 1 Round 2 was their best hockey of the series. The 3-1 comeback in round 1 was the best comeback of the entire playoffs for any team. People have short memories.

Gotta feel bad for Drai right now. 21 points in 10 games and it's STILL not enough. 98 points in 59 playoffs games, not enough. Congrats Vancouver, I'll be rooting for you for the next (hopefully) two rounds!!

Great review THG! I missed 2/3 of the game as I was at work and of course my Canucks played their best game of the playoffs. What a 3rd period tho as I was able to watch that. Lets go Canucks, play like that next game and they will be onto the conference finals. Go Canucks go.

Games like these majes it frustrating when the canucks dont put in the effort. Like, they have it within themselves, but they choose not to at times. Regardless, more of this would be nice

that call on pettersson was so odd. he braced for a hit and got called for it. never seen anything like it.
