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

[Zenos]

The writers unanimously picked Calgary over the Oilers too. It wasn’t to this extent, but they were heavily favoured.

You know the meaning of unanimous, right?

 

[Broberg Speed]

We shit on the Flames all the time and won.

We don’t shit on the Avs or Knights enough, and we lost.

Get out of here with your karma bullshit narrative. Literally trying to blame any eventual Oilers loss on the fans. Hmm why would an Oilers fan try to make other Oilers fans feel guilty and shitty ? Hmmmmmmm

this is bad luck, bad luck personified

I want nothing to do with that entering a new playoff series

Lol Toronto fans have been completely up our ass for years. Laughing at our failures and saying McDavid is coming home.

I have no beef with Jets fans and not nearly as much beef with Canuck fans as they have with us though.

so what? take control, show a little discipline, the above sounds like they own you


if it bothers you so much stop reading their posts

get out of here with the bad karma... it affects not just yourself


this is how you make a difference, by making people feel terrible about their lot?

There is no causality.

if you believe that there is nothing wrong with being polite and showing sportsmanship

do unto others as you would have them do unto you

We celebrate when Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg etc are eliminated because we know they'd celebrate if we were eliminated.

big deal

why not have the reputation of being the best fanbase for a change

just don't be horrible for a day, maybe it'll take. I see you post during the gdt and you always seem like the least happy person on the planet, win or lose

Lol what are you talking about “posts”. I don’t pay attention to other teams on here. I go to Ontario multiple times a year and have to hear it in person. I actually leave again this week and it will be glorious.

What does discipline have to do with anything?

Is that why most of your posts are negative towards the Oilers? In the hopes the universe will make something positive happen to the team?

 

[cantthinkofone]

So if Vegas wins that means we play Wednesday. This helps Vancouver a lot because they get a lot of rest and the Oilers have been off for a full week. This probably means we lose out weekend home game and we might end up playing Monday and Wednesday at home? I have never wanted Vegas to lose this much.

I hope we get some bulletin board material of the Canuck fans being vulgar as hell. Just saw a literal video of a boy about 9 years old in saying Nashville can suck his D!ck and f*** Hyman. Kid was literally about 9 being cheered on by a bunch of cavemen adults.

No wonder these sick people cannot have a watch party.

The players dont give a shit about what opposing fans think and nor should they IMO.

I also tend not to get into these pissing matches about which fan base is better.
Its a BS argument IMO because there are shitty fans in every market.

Its not unreasonable for there to be more shitty fans in a bigger market either. Vancouver is about 3 times the size of Edmonton so I would guess that there will be 3 times as many shitty fans.

That includes pseudo fans as I like to call them. Fans who wear the colors of a team but just use that as an excuse to do shit.

I am not for a moment suggesting that we stop disliking another fan base (and stop pointing out the stupid shit they do) but the our fanbase is better than your fanbase arguments are just silly IMO.

 

[PuckG]

I have to say, the number of Canuck fans droning on about reffing and power plays before the series has even started is downright pathetic. I’m truly astonished.

Even Flames fans weren’t whining this early.

even their coach was doing it in his post series presser

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Find and give a hug to a Canuck fan today!

Just like we did with LA!

 

[Coffey]

Well at least I can say Queen Hughes in this forum. Whew.
Don't need sensitive Canuck fans breathing down my neck every time I offend their midget d-man.

The speed in which they went from "we're the best team in the Pacific, nobody and not especially the Oilers are a match for us" to "we're a small little underdog team who wasn't supposed to be here and the Oilers are going to get favourable calls and it's not fair" is astonishing.

hahaha The cope is starting

 

[RegDunlop]

I grew up in Stratford Ontario and was a Leafs fan. I got tired of them losing so I stopped watching hockey. Years later starting hearing about this kid by the name of Gretzky and had to follow him. I was living in Alberta at that time so it was fitting to cheer for the good guys, Messier, Anderson, Coffey, Kurri, Fuhr, Gretzky, Moog, Lowe and the rest of the gang. The DoD sucked it reminded me of the Leafs but better a DoD then a 1/2 a century.

I can proudly say I've fated the TML as long as I've been alive.
But I hope you'll forgive me for beings a Habs fan until Edmonton was born

 

[RegDunlop]

They are very hard to listen to. You would think they won a cup or 5 in my time.
LMFAO

Exactly.

And that's how I feel about all these loser Vancouver posters. Like what has your team EVER won to warrant such ridiculous cockiness?

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Is there a game date and time? Apologies if this has already been provided.

Where the F can I get hold of this 'Ryan S Clark?!

 

[Oilhawks]

Exactly.

And that's how I feel about all these loser Vancouver posters. Like what has your team EVER won to warrant such ridiculous cockiness?

Absolutely nothing at all. They should have been forever humbled by choking two series leads in the Finals and a continued 50+ years of nothing

But you know they are peak delusional when you have a fan unironically suggesting that the 1915 Vancouver Millionaires Stanley Cup win is somehow relevant to the Canucks.

L O L

Not sure if this is actually the case but I heard that it wont be released until the Vegas Golden Cheaters/ Dallas Stars game is decided.

Sounds like Wednesday vs Vegas or Tuesday vs Dallas

 

[Pavel10]

Oilers revenge tour. Who the hell takes 4 wins in the regular season as meaning anything. The Canucks are already being crowned, that's why you take the ice.

Teams with zero history and accomplishments take 4 wins in the regular season as something.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Luck and karma don't exist.

You know what is real? Schadenfreude for rivals.

Elston was awesome. His “Hockey Nightmares” in particular…lol

still no causality. And I’ll choose how to be, not be bullied into it.

They need to decide based on what’s best for Vegas.

I grew up a diehard Habs fan going back to the mid 60's. Pretty much on par with my current attachment to the Oilers in those days. That makes it hard to ever feel any compassion for the Leafs.
