It's laughable to me. By that standard, these are the shittiest Canuck fans I've ever seen in my life. Yes sure, jump ship. Go paint your faces orange and blue but don't tell me how to hockey. GO PANTHERS Stop being so myopic. No one is telling you to cheer for the Oilers. I’m a Canucks’ fans since as far as I can remember, but I’m not afraid to admit that the Oilers are a damn good team to watch and deserve to be where they are.

Alflives Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 ESPN radio, who rarely talk hockey, have spent a lot of time on the Panthers epic collapse and how much Canadian hockey fans (other than in Edmonton) don’t want the Coilers to win. And they’ve been poking fun at Leafs’ fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop telling me how to be, I'm doing me. In one breath you're saying "no one is telling you to" and in the next you're trying to sell me the Oilers. And they're dirty af yet they whine like they're mistreated. Zero integrity. You can stroke the Oilers all you want....a good team (at times) and at other times they've been a complete flop. Flip a coin. Go Panthers. 3 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Haven't been following this thread, so not saying to much... But man have the Panthers PP failed miserably...

Hairy Kneel Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) The more I watch this series the more I appreciate what Coach Tocchet has done. Tocchet had a system and a plan and roles were very clear throughout the line up. Of course the pp was a mystery but Tocchet had our guys ready to compete hard every game. High compete and very good composure were a part of his staples. We'll see if Fla can bounce back against some system breakdowns and bad puck luck. Bob is a big part of that. Fla needs Tchuck to show up like we needed EP to. Tonight is for all the marbles. Edited June 24 by Hairy Kneel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great indicator of what fans really think. However... Almost everyone I run into have been talking about the series and will be watching... They are mostly casual fans... And unfortunately most are cheering for the coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Wrong Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 If Edmonton really wins it tonight I can’t help myself but tip my hat and congratulate them. Coming back from 0-3 in the SCF is phenomenal. I don’t care who wins. But why is the game in a Monday night??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 And to all the Canucks fans, look forward to get your noses rubbed in it every single day, if the Oilers win it... Just the thought would make the stomach turn on most Canucks fans.... although a few seem to have changed their allegiance during these play offs.... But for the vast majority the thought of having to hear about "this fantastic and wonderfully super specially skilled, McDaaaaaaaavid..and Draisaitl and the tough Oilers" for the next 30 years will be the nightmare scenario.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern_Nuck Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) On 6/22/2024 at 9:03 AM, -dlc- said: Edmonton's full of big egos and that's driving their bus right now. Well, and momentum that's been generated by both their energy and the lack of that from the Panthers (who seem shellshocked). Oilers have done this all year....sucked, sucked, sucked, then they get embarrassed and their egos kick in and they play with a nothing to lose/everything to gain energy. But remember, they also really suck at times. Too bad because both the Canucks and Panthers let nerves enter the building. Thinking ahead put them behind. The Oilers strike just at the moment that the team in control starts to overthink things. And, to some degree, with good reason at times when games were so piss poorly officiated that it handcuffs one side. You have to adjust for that. No "whining"...."facts". (insert our special teams failure here) I just can't support a team that includes Nurse, Kane, Draisaitl and whiny McGod. The way they chased down the refs after every whistle? Show some integrity. Again...the dirty crap that they pull to get there. Same. Let them celebrate - we'll see if Florida can crash their party and deliver a sucker punch. I sure hope so. I'm sick of the Oilers and the hoopla....yes, they've come back in 3 games but they also were DOWN 3 games and momentum swings are a thing. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. And...even if they do win, I still loathe them and will not watch a minute of the big "moment in history". For me, there are asterisks because how they don't get suspended like most teams is beyond me. Too many "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE" cards. Sour grapes? Probably. But here's how I'll remember the Oilers' season... When Gretzky was winning...I felt respect and pride in his game. This team and their cult followers? Not so much. The best player in the world should NOT be doling out deliberate high sticks as part of this MO. I don't know, for me it kind of tarnishes his rep a bit...especially when he CRIES incessantly at the refs if someone brushes against him Just a little highlight clip of why I will NOT get behind the Oilers...despite the constant push as "Canada's team" and now doing something to make history. NOPE I hate that we have no deterrent for anyteam that wants to punish us… yes Zadorov had a backbone, but he punches weird and isn’t an intimidator. He’s a stand up guy.

Rekker Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 2 hours ago, Mr Wrong said: If Edmonton really wins it tonight I can’t help myself but tip my hat and congratulate I keep saying this to myself. I intend to, will see if I can. So many levels here including a Florida team to looks to have just rolled over. There are fifteen teams in the NHL that could of beaten Florida last three games. They've been crap. In the end I truly believe Oilers are winning this and I will need to spend this summer, the draft, next season, maybe longer, hitting the mute button and switching channels thanks to a slow Florida team with a headcase goalie.

IBatch Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Have to ask. Does anyone on this site not feel like a hypocrite if they are still upset about 2011 and the apparent lack of Canadian respect (not in Ontario and Quebec, because there was plenty, all over wherever you went, way less Oiler flags fyi, actual people showing their support Canucks >>> as far as flags go, but ask anyone, they for sure aren't cheering for Florida), and still stuck on a couple things that happened in the series. Does the 2011 "everyone hates us we don't care" victim culture still wear heavy, and need to double down or triple down. Hope not. Can say i'm not into that. EDM wins and they will be a legendary team and we won't even be a footnote in his playoffs, where at least we were in 94 and 2011. Let them do their things. Win or lose. Win win? Kind of. At least the cup comes back to Canada, and can say, we had so much support that wasn't the perception in 2011 in the East. Wonder how much that plays into some posters mental framework. "It can only be WNP or MTL or no thanks". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
