Post-Game Talk: Canucks Kick Oilers Ass - Man I Love this Team! Hughes x2 Heinen x1

[ExarKun80]

Wrong. A lot of us tend to be fair when it comes to Hughes. If he gets hit cleanly, not many on this board will call it dirty or insult said player.

The difference is McDavid has a history of doing this dirty shit on our players regularly and hence rightfully gets called out on it.

If we had McDavid, I'd would certainly call him out on his BS. Did it for Miller and Petey in the past, and in case you don't know, other users have done the same.

There were a lot of people that called out Cooke on his BS., and Cooke wasn't as popular as you think he was. Neither was Brashear for that matter and both played lengthy on the Canucks.

You can cope as much as you want, but facts are facts.

Cope? You sound kind of triggered and i don't get why. Just because you are fair it does not mean that most fans are when it comes to their favourite team.

Not going to be a popular fact, but it is what it's like to be part of a fanbase in a big hockey city.
During last season's playoffs, I spent time in both team's threads. I noticed both fanbases are pretty much the same without ever wanting to admit it.

GDT threads of calling the other team's star players whiny or divers, dirty plays by the other team, refs are terrible and let the other team get away with so much, disappointed in their own team's performance, calling out their own players not doing enough, calling the other team's fanbase the most annoying in the entire league, etc.

Sound familiar? We're yelling at a mirror.

It's all fun to be passionate about our favourite team, but just wondering if anyone legitimately doesn't see this.... lol (And it's no different with Leaf fanbase either).

Why in earth what you even spend time of your own accord visiting the Oilers board of all boards? Yikes.

While they are similar attitudes in the examples you laid out, the fact is the other fanbase is far more rigorous to this type of vitriolic biased bullshit behavior, they take it to an extreme level of homerism and bias especially these past few years after some play-off success. We can acknowledge this as much, and call them out for being braindead. Can you comprehend that?

MS's reaction to their GDT is very appropriate.
Heck not even just their GDTS but they spread their filth on the main boards.

McDavid would rightfully be called out for what he did tonight, if he was part of this team while the other boards would instead turn a blind eye and defend him. There's a difference.

Several posters have already stated Myers should be suspended for the face shot on Bouchard as well.

"Triggered", very astute logic there. Seems to be some self projecting there.
Majority of the users (not all ofc) on this board have been pretty fair when it comes to criticizing Canuck players when ever they either do something dirty, were being whiny or did something cheap. There's no fandom that is more hard on their players than Canucks fans are. I have been observing these boards for a long time.

That’s a 3 D dtw

That’s a 3 D dtw

Bubba botched that one.

e/ still one of the coolest moves in pro wrestling history

 

[CanucksMJL]

Could you imagine if Miller pulls a Pete and goes to Allvin and says, I wanna stay?

That is the dead center of the perfect solution.

Because after a win like this, I love going through their thread reading their reaction from confident pregame posts to reading their deflated and/or angry responses. I did that recently after the Leafs game too. I guess you can call that schadenfreude. It was quite fun during the playoffs. Admittedly, I only did it on the games the Canucks won.

Fair enough, you should check out the main board GDTS as well. They are good for a laugh. A lot of salty Coiler fans making excuses after every loss for our own amusement kek.

Can't sleep woke up to this beautiful thread it certainly helps. Great game last night and hopefully one that pulls team together. Miller was a beast last night hopefully EP and Miller can make it work because we have the talent to succeed just need to fix the D. However if this is it for Miller's time here he going out in style and will be dearly missed !

I will not be popular but then I don't care about "likes".

The Canucks won, the 2 points were vital to stay close to the WC2 spot.
They held the Oilers to 15 shots, that was really good.
Now the unpopular part;

I watched the game twice looking to collaboration of some comments, just saying.
Garland was really smart to take out McDavid like that, a big trade off at that time
BUT
Overall the reffing was definitely for the home team, this isn't anything the Canucks have not been on the receiving end a few times.
I counted at least 5 flagrant and obvious penalties not called. Boeser, Pettersson, Garland all had very obvious interference, tripping or unsportsmanlike penalties not called. Two of which led directly to goals.
In truth, I was embarrassed by Garlands tactics, I understand them but this isnt' the first time McD has had a Canuck give him a bear hug and hold him with both arms around him when he doesn't have the puck.
Another thought came to me, Hughes better watch out next game because if that tactic works for the Canucks it might work to the Oilers in their barn.
No fighting so retaliation might come in the form of harassment of Canucks stars by 4th liners and they have last change next game.
The Myers cross check was baffling, the whistle had already been blown and he hit Bouchard with a heavy check into the boards, evidently he was getting a penalty for that but the cross check? Really out of character. Maybe desperation to take out the best players just in case they had enough time to set up for a shot.

Garland doesn't stick up for himself, someone else gets to pay his bill.

It could be the entire team knows or thinks that was Miller's last game and wanted desperately to have him go out on a win.

It was two points, that's the biggest stat

Whatever
