GDT: WCSF | VI | "Because It's The Cusp" | Oilers vs. Canucks | 5.18.24 | 6:00PM | SN/CBC

[eviohh26]

Eh, I think most Canucks fans wouldn't be acting the way they are if they were playing any team other than Edmonton, most were just happy to be here in the Preds series.

Oiler fans were enemy #1 for coming into every Canuck related thread, or mainboard GDT to talk about how the Canucks are frauds, PDO, they'll never win the division, they'll lose in r1, the Oilers will get revenge etc.

I also think it's pretty normal for fans of a breakout team to want to be taken seriously. It's also normal for others to be skeptical, but Oilers were by far the worst, and downright delusional at times.

I gave Nashville fans lots of respect . I had no problems with them or their team. This is just a Oilers thing. We are mortal enemies . There isn't enough room in the world for the 2 of us. or something like that .

In a vacuum sure, this is hardly the only instance of Vancouver fans doing something along these lines. It's been this way since 2010, most recently this season.

Everyone knows ESPN has no idea what they're talking about

I'll agree my fellow Canucks fans are up there in insecurity (boys, please slow down on making threads in the main forum) but dunking on that ESPN screenshot is quite fun and any fanbase would definitely keep track of such a landslide in predictions

 

[TruGr1t]

We have been shit on and doubted all year. We have a chip on our shoulders .

Predicted to be at the bottom of the division to start the season .
Predicted to be unsustainable and will fall off as the season goes.
Predicted to be the most likely team to be upset in the 1st round
Predicted to get stomped out in 4-5 games by the Oilers.
IF WE WIN and go to the next round everyone is predicting us to get destroyed by the Stars.

Not sure I'd call us insecure but we certainly are proving the haters wrong and throwing it in their faces.

This is also the second series in a row the Canucks have been involved in where I’ve heard commentators say: “Well no matter who win this series, they are getting steamrolled in the next round.”

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

This is shaping up to be a Canucks L tonight. Just a gut feeling.

Hopefully I'm wrong and we get a barnburner.

 

[Zerotonine]

I must have missed them then.
I’ve seen lots of complaining from both sides.

Yeah that's normal. Tp be honest most of the whining is most likely from fans of other teams who dislike the teams playing seeing as they don't have anything else to do this late in the season

 

[Zerotonine]

In all fairness there is no room in the world for any fans of Canadian teams vs another Canadian team. Lolol at most the fans from the east might tolerate fans from the west and vice versa.

But no way you gonna get fans of Canucks flames and oilers to get along. That's straight hate amongst each other

 

[Zirakzigil]

Cmon deranged Oreo dolphins! We wanted a DOD and Paper Tigers match up!

 

[RegDunlop]

Skinner hurt
Pickard out
Campbell.... sucks

Ken Dryden starting as the last EBUG

 

[robertocarlos]

They found Kevin Bieksa unconscious after tea and he was swiftly taken away to hospital where he remains in a coma due to sleeping pills. Wait, that was Kate Middleton. Where's Kevin?

 

[x Tame Impala]

Nashville was the hottest team in the league post all star break, they had an 18 game point streak and were one of the most potent offences in the league in that time frame, the Canucks gave them pretty much nothing.

Nashville wasn't bad. They were a lot better than Tampa this year.
We have a chip on our shoulders because we have doubted the hater wrong every at every turn this season. Is what it is. If you don't like it too bad. You are the one here crying about it.


The hate honestly makes it more fun. I wouldn't have it any other way .

They would've been every Western Conference team's first choice to play in the 1st round. They were a #7 seed and it showed in the playoffs. Vancouver is a good team is all i'm saying, the chip on your shoulder's is annoying and always comes up in threads despite them not making a prior deep run or beating any very good teams so far.

We'll see if they get past Edmonton and we'll see if they can make it 5 games past Dallas if/when they do. They've done a nice job of containing McDavid so far I'll give them that but they going up against Skinner has been a luxury.

 

[PaulD]

McDavid hurt.
Skinner under extreme pressure.
Oilers look tired.
Canucks rap it up tonight.
All four second round series go 6

 

[robertocarlos]

Sure but Adin Hill won a Stanley Cup for Vegas last year. If he played more games he probably grabs the Conn Smyth too. And everyone is already talking as if this series is over.

Whatever happened to Hill?

 

[KevinFinnerty]

want Nucks to win to have a 94 rematch

[BelovedIsles]

Pickard played well. Baffled by the change, especially with the season on the line.

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

Whichever team loses tonight I hope it’s not because of a blatantly blown call like in last nights Colorado-Dallas game. Neither fanbase deserves that as both are passionate and have stuck with their teams through thick and thin. Mostly thin!
Let it be a relatively well reffed game and let the chips fall where it they may.

Haven't you heard? The entire oilers team has the sniffles and our big bad nucks were always the favourites because of the regular season. Source, oilers HF.

See Canucks fans already blaming refs for the loss before puck drop lolol

See oilers fans blaming the sniffles and now acting like they were always the underdogs.
What a far cry from the first few pages right?

Maybe the Oil are trying to save that $5.2 million owed to Skinner. If he wins they keep him.

 

[HockeyVirus]

I think this game defines who Skinner is as a goalie. If everyone is counting him out and his coach lost faith but has to play him.. He can either sulk and get lit up like a sieve or have the game of his life and tell people to f off and show him some respect.

If the Canucks win this series, then I am personally looking forward to the transition from "regular season means nothing!" to "Canucks struggled against the Stars in the regular season" as a reason why they're definitely going to lose the WCF.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Perry scratched? Tough one for the Canucks.. he was definitely an asset to them..

Tocchet should counter that move by scratching Cole.

 

[DearDiary]

I want a game 7.

Did you miss the news that Skinner is starting? I bet you would like a billion dollars too

 

[WetcoastOrca]
