Pre-Game Talk: Oilers vs. Canucks - time to make Vancouver rainier than usual

[Captain Fantastic]

Kane on Pat Mcafee earlier today. It's a riot. Urge everyone to watch it. Timestamped.

For me, the biggest thing is this feels a lot like the Oilers - Flames series in 2022

And the bad thing about that, it pretty much became their Cup (to be fair, they didn't have the depth to beat the Avs). I think that this series could end up being too much of an emotional roadblock and winning it will be 'too important' in that sense

Van may have just had their emotional roadblock

I see Tocchet already on his soapbox to the officials before the games are even played lmao

Lol saw that too. Dudes politicking the refs for a no penalties series.

Thats a good point. And something that the Oilers will have to be conscious of. The Cup must still be the goal. But you also can’t look past your opponent and a rival like the Nucks.

Our maturity will be tested. But I beleive in McD and the boys to know that the goal is 16 and not 8.

 

[McAsuno]

Even if they did, would it matter? Probably the least knowledgeable Canadian fanbase

TBH, I dislike leaf fans as much as the next fan in the league, but at LEAST their fanbase aren't filled with fairweather bandwagoning fans. Nuck fans are filled with that while being extremely obnoxious as well. They barely give a shit over in BC about the Canucks unless there's some glimpses of success. Congrats on beating us 3-0 when the Oilers were slumping 2-9 into the early season and beating the Oilers from the previous game that didn't have McDavid playing either. If Nuck fans think the Oilers will be a cake walk in the post season games, then they're extremely out of touch with reality. Reminds me of how some jet fans got cocky just because they beat Colorado in the regular season, and then look what happened?! I don't think the nucks will be an easy opponent either, but here's hoping we win it and advance.

100% that the team, and especially both McDrai are wanting revenge after the regular season sweep as well.

Glad to be playing a big rivalry game.

100% to the bolded, I hate to admit it, but part of me admires their willingness to keep plugging along (even when they lie to themselves about how things will be better next year etc etc)

Canucks fans are literally the definition of bandwagon. I have not met a single one that followed the team when they suck

There's a whole lot of copium and weird self-deception going on in that mains thread. I mean, some dude wrote an essay about why their play style keeps the PDO going, which is funny because this series vs Nashville would actually say the opposite, IMO. If they had that crazy PDO run going it wouldn't have been this tight against the worst team in the West to make it.

Regular season means jack f***ing shit, but I wouldn't expect a fanbase that gets excited about President's Trophies, Calders, Jack Adams whatever the f*** meaningless trophies because their team has done nothing but lose in the playoffs for 50+ years

The entitlement and weird cope they've had is actually well-expressed in their tendency to riot when their team inevitably falls short in the playoffs

Worst fans in the league

 

[Oilhawks]

Van may have just had their emotional roadblock

Yup, sounds a lot like the sort of "happy to be here, glad we won the Cup, I mean first round vs a severe underdog" loser talk.

Did they pop some bubbly as well?

And some guy just posted about how Vancouver won the cup in 1915.

The greatest cope post of all time. What a time to be alive

Imagine being so pathetic that you have to cheer for another rival to beat a rival.

Life of a fLames fan

Flames support is a curse anyway. They sold their souls and the hockey gods smited them to hockey hell

You mean when they quite literally made some sort of Faustian deal (satanic black magic to jinx Oettinger) so their juggernaut team could barely scrape by that Wild Card Stars team, right?

Still creeped out by that

looks like they're rioting... such a sad state for vancouver and the canucks - seek a higher level

 

[McFlyingV]

I called 5 on LA series. I'm calling Oilers in 6 here.

 

[bellagiobob]

Reading the mains it’s clear that not many Vancouver fans watched the EDM LA series

What gives you that idea?

 

[Oilhawks]

What gives you that idea?

No one ever accused Nucks fans of being knowledgeable

 

[McFlyingV]

I just remembered the Canucks are about that have 2.35M, 4.76M, 4.76M dead cap the next 3 years from OEL's buyout. This depth they think they've acquired is about to walk out the door on free agency this summer.

Who’s the idiot Brain dead muscle man who’s interviewing him? The guy is a joke and should be introducing WWE wrestlers not taking hockey players to task over something they know nothing about.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Pls don't lose

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Also listen to the words of the anthem itself!

 

[Oilers in NS]

f*** that loser Franchise. 50 years and zip.

we r 2-0 against them in playoffs

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

What gives you that idea?

The only thing more embarrassing than posting this out is a Leafer thinking you’re right but saying their goalie almost did too.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

I was telling my Nucklehead coworkers not to cry about Demko because Silovs might be that guy, you never know. Now that we’re facing them I hope we light that kid up and destroy his confidence..

Silovs me not

 

[Oilers in NS]

I have a stash of salty nuts for them

Vancouver sports fans give Toronto's a run for their money when it comes to ignorance, delusion and fairweather bandwagoning.

Hopefully we absolutely annihilate this team.

between VAncouver and Toronto fans, my level of hate is pretty much same. I extremely hate them. I havent practiced my bible scriptures in ages

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

They are starting early on the Left coast.

 

[Oilers in NS]

Here's the theme song for Vancouver's impending storm

u my friend are a Karaoke Icon. I think I'm gonna try to get on Canada's Got Talent now and sing this gem. Now I gotta 1 up ya and find a dandy

They are starting early on the Left coast.

is this new or old footage?
It dont surprise me
