We just witnessed an NHL Playoffs collapse of epic proportions! You may remember earlier this season, I made a video on the Nashville Predators losing a game they were up 2-1 in with 15 seconds remaining. Somehow the Predators found a way to end up losing that game in regulation 3-2 to the Dallas Stars. That was one of the craziest chokes I had ever seen. Today though, may have topped. On the biggest stage that is the NHL Playoffs, the predators just threw away a game. See, coming into this game not only was the Vancouver Canucks starting goalie Thatcher Demko out due to injury, prior to puck drop it was announced that their backup Casey DeSmith, who had only played 2 games himself, was now ALSO injured. Vancouver was down to their 3rd string goalie, Artur Shilovs on the road, in Nashville in one of the toughest barns in the league. The Predators were dominant and played what was likely their best game of the series gaining a 3-1 lead with under 10 to go. With the Canucks down bad late in this game, it looked all but over with Sissons putting the puck towards the empty net. Quinn Hughes thought it was over, the Preds bench thought it was over and yet, it hit the post! This was one the Predators will lose sleep on for a while… I cover it all in todays NHL hockey video!

How far can the Canucks go without Demko and now DeSmith?
LUL Silovs was MVP at the last IIHF
There was no challenge because challenging that play is not allowed. That was clearly a kick in from the top down camera
3:46 Note Boeser's facial expression. He doesn't party until it's party time. All business. That third goal? Party time.
Ouch Nashville. Zamboni driver would be the backup to the third goalie starting.
You're the best hockey youtuber out there, Love your videos.
I would've hit my 4 legs parlay (1.3k payout) if these fuckers didnt choke.
Maybe Karma related but the third Predictor goal was clearly kicked in.
My blood pressure was the highest in this game 😂😂😂
Preds watched Patrik Stefan clip and said that will never be us!
Shit I wouldn't say biggest choke. Biggest choke is leafs to bruins
Canucks play way better offensively at home..Over in 5 🙏
Silovs is going to be great in a couple of years
Looks like the Montreal Canadiens wearing the Nashville jerseys.
Bahahahaha!!!
"GO NUCKS GO"!!!
I stopped watching the Canuckleheads years ago. I live about a 7 min walk from GM Place(if its even still called that?)
I dint even know they were in the Playoffs…IF…If they win the series the hype will start.
Still not gonna watch. The 30yrs of being a fan took its toll
No Nashville defenseman positioned anywhere near the front of the goal in overtime. A bold strategy.
Nashville went from being up 3-1 to being down 3-1
Petterson going into fetal position during thier celebration is hilarious lmao. Like a tornado drill " ill just wait it out"
Vancouver should play Trashville's goal song if they win the next home game.
Trashvilles new chant: Hey, we choked…Hey, we choked…
They didn't collapse, the cup bound Canucks just decided to try and they didn't want to fly back to America's most overrated city for game 6. Let's wrap it up on Tuesday boys!
As a jets fan this hurts seeing Vancouver do so well on their third goalie and we are being crushed by Colorado :/
More proof regular season means dik all in the playoffs.
Good for Vancouver though I hate the predators haha
Leafs and Jets about to go golfing 😣
Staring a 2-2 series in the face with all the momentum, and in seconds, tanking to a 9.5% chance to see the 2nd round.
the Canucks will be starting Michael Buble in net for game 5.
Sissons is going to think about that goal post for the rest of his life.
I really like sorros but I think it's time to put larken in he has show he a good goalie give a chance in net he might help the team he taller in net he also a great goalie as well
I fell asleep with 10 minutes left in 3rd period cause I lost hope for the Canucks but then I got woken up by my mom slapping me non stop because somehow they tied the game lol
"one of the toughest barns in the league" … not so much anymore
I was yelling with my mom and dad so loud
Nashville is NOT one of the toughest barns in the league 😂😂😂
Rigged refs tried to help Nash (oilers fan here)
4:40 This is my favorite shot, twigs everywhere!
You cannot challenge a kicked puck. Command center review only.
This wasn’t all that bad compared to Isles vs Canes game 2. That’s what you call a collapse of epic proportions.
Silvos was great. Hate to say DeSmith would have let more shots in. This kid Silvos was cool as a cucumber. 👏👍
One of the best comebacks I've ever seen. Canucks for The Cup!
It wasn’t just a meltdown, it was the skill of the Canucks. A hat trick by Bowser is pure skill!
This game was the epitome of the Canucks regular season.
They shouldn’t have won, somehow, they keep winning.
Leafs fan here. Hold my beer !
Hockey gods had to straighten out that kicked in goal.
Braten by the third string goalie leading by 2 and missed a lay up ekpty met….how do they recover?
Good job Canucks
1:03 …
Choke?? Why not give the Canucks praise for the comeback win
All year they described themselves as resilient
So far this is some of the craziest playoff hockey we've seen. Absolutely amazing goaltending across the league, hat tricks, and goals galore!
Not the first time the Predators choked away a lead in a crucial playoff game late and lost in overtime (2010 first round vs Blackhawks, Game 5, for reference)
