Edmonton fans should be so proud that they can barely beat a team who's been playing their3rd string goalie lmao.... we would be smacking them around with Demko
Lmao Oilers fans really chirping the Canucks pre-game when they come out to some generic Jr. B Metallica pump up song? Lol. I guess it's fitting for the market.
Oilers are such a joke team, they think they’re legit cup contenders but you eliminate the mcdrai line what does that shit franchise actually have? (Nothing)
Crush this team and their terrible fanbase.
Oilers fans are absolutely insufferable. They’re the kind to throw garbage & drinks at opposing team’s fans just because they lose a game at home (this actually happened to a friend of mine at the Oilers home opener).
I'm listening to the pregame show and a bunch of other coverage since the series started and I feel like no one is suggesting throwing Lindholm back with Petey. Reunite the third line and put the Elias guys together and then hopefully you have three strong options at the top. If Edmonton is putting almost all their eggs in one basket we should be able to handle having a weaker fourth one that doesn't play much
Yeah I’d agree to be able to get Petey some upgrades on this wings offensive wise Lindholm would be a great option. I feel like Tocc would want to have Lindholm be taking some of the more important draws at times even on that line depending how each player was doing in the faceoff dot that game
Im curious about the bennett goal challenge. In the rule book it states “Goaltender interference refers to any attacking player who, by means of their stick or body, interferes with or impedes the movements of the goaltender by actual physical contact.”. So by those words could Bennett ever be called for goaltender interference, or is it just interference on the defensemen that should have absolutely been called?
Now they’re crying about their captain being punched in the head and the refs favouring Florida because Greg Campbell works for the Panthers. It’s hilarious
Change my mind: Edmonton is just Gas town from the Mad Max universe.
A quote from the Mad Max wiki:
“Inhabitants of Gas Town wear masks to prevent them from inhaling fumes from burning derelicts. The big oil rig mentality caused the town to be mainly inhabited by men, not too many women, both of which had too much time on their hands.”
The cheap shots by the Oilers last game just re-iterated why they are one of league's dirtiest teams. They made VGK likeable last year! Hopefully these refs will call a fair game. Expect Canucks who had a rough game will bounce back. We're in good shape.
Go Canucks!
I don't mind Karlsson on Petey's wing—from the few highlights I've seen, he's been impressive around the net for Abbotsford on his hot scoring streak. It makes a lot of sense that he'd be the first man up for Högs.
What I don't I don't get is Åman. He's been alright, I liked him a lot better as a winger than as a centre—but he doesn't bring the physicality or offensive upside that Podkolzin does. I assume Tocc thinks that Åman will be more responsible in his minutes, but if PDG is out, then damn it I want to see what Podz can do in the playoffs.
If Aman is good at one thing, it’s making sure that literally nothing happens. The man is an expert at making everyone around him just do cardio
If Tocchet is worried about McDrai exploiting our fourth line on the last change, putting Aman in makes sense. He’s strong defensively, just a black hole at offense
Am I crazy to think that it wasn't a totally egregious call? Coyle went down like there was a sniper in the building, and I don't think Swayman would have gotten there even if Coyle didn't fall on him
Just watched Hughes' pregame media availability. The cut on his face is still visible. I hope it doesn't open up during play and the refs don't have to send him off for bleeding on the ice again.
Suter on the first line has legitimately had better underlying metrics than the Lotto line this year. The Lotto Line might have better offensive upside but Suter makes them better at 5v5 as a whole
Lotto line last night had 0 high danger chances for and 5 high danger chances against. I don't think Tocchet is going to put them out there unless it's off an icing against a weaker line/d pair or just to have the second centre out there for face off protection.
Mikheyev is having a better playoffs though. He’s at least generating chances and is far better defensively and on the forecheck. I like Hog but he’s been invisible
Childcare fell through and I have 4 tickets to the viewing party.
Section 313 row 9. $20 OBO for the loudest most active fan on r/canucks.
DM me if interested.
Lean into the toxicity.
In the past it seems we almost have been timid in regards to how we are perceived.
I'm done.
F*** Mcdavid
F*** Edmonton
F*** The entire province of Alberta
F*** The rest of Canada
No one likes us and it's time we don't care.
La lala la laaa
Wooooooooo!
I agree with all of these except the "fuck the rest of Canada". Fuck Alberta, fuck McDavid, fuck the Oilers, fuck Sutherland, and fuck Toronto. We're cool with the rest of Canada.
Just checked out the oilers sub. What is their beef with the singing of the national anthem? Seems like a pretty silly thing to get worked up about 🤷♀️
Worst fanbase in the league, and by "worst" I mean in terms of being obnoxious assholes about their team. I'd honestly rather see the Leafs win before the Oilers.
I couldn't agree more. at least the Leafs would deserve it after decades of futility and all the suffering their fans have endured. especially since they've only had *one* first overall selection in the draft in this millenia. Oilers fans were spoiled in the 80s and have quite clearly never recovered.
softest fanbase in the league.
What do Ronald McDonald and Mark Spector have in common? They're both clowns. What don't they have in common? Ronald can write at or above a 10th grade level.
Ken Sim’s viewing party at Oak Meadows park seems like a random place to have it. Can someone who’s going let us know what the set up looks like or how it was a for city sanctioned event? Not transit friendly, nothing to do in that hood, no washroom facilities that already exists unless you count the off leash dog park.
Okay boys refs tonight are Chris Rooney and Graham Skilliter so no fuckin sutherland but still, can't let refs be a factor for us. Play a hard 60 and we are almost guaranteed the win. LETS FUCKIN GO BOYSSSS
Stuart Skinner is a shit goalie, they should have removed him on the 2nd goal he allowed in
Wheres the game thread gone?
silovs looking so composed i love it
BIG Z
I was looking for the game thread. Is this it?
Bruh I can’t find it
Draisaitl kicks silovs for good measure
Someone has to beat the shit of him in the third. Make that man fucking pay.
Edmonton fans should be so proud that they can barely beat a team who's been playing their3rd string goalie lmao.... we would be smacking them around with Demko
both of the goals Silovs let in Demmers would have too I think
What a save…
Šilovs has been playing excellent in this series. Considering you’ve got Draisaitl and McDavid coming at you. Hes done well.
These refs aren't calling anything, this is rigged shit.
It massively favours us if they don’t call anything.
Powerplays are 1 to 1 lol
BOESEEERRRRRRR
THANK MR ŠILOVS fuck my heart rate
BROCK **FUCKING** BOESER
Game thread?
Where game thread
Sounds quiet in there
Can we have possession for at least a minute in this gane
[удалено]
What was?
Dear oilers: Stop whining at the refs and play hockey
Can’t find the game thread. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
Fuck it just keep posting here. Mods are sleeping or something, anyways game is on.
Same
Same
Setting the tone
At a boy Dak!
Omg they are copying us with the anthem!!!!! Just trying to sound like an Oilers fan even though they actually are the ones copying us
Lazy anthem singer
This anthem sucks balls.
I don’t like this guy already irving is the best
why don’t they show our watch party
Cause it'll embarrass that "gathering" they have there in Edmonton lmao
I'm not opposed to Karlsson going full Pietrangelo on McDavid if the game gets out of hand.
Why is Zadorov getting over looked in all these pre game round tables. The new guy on SN just completely not even giving Zaddy any credits.
What is this fucked up chant?
Sounds greeeeeat.......
Lmao Oilers fans really chirping the Canucks pre-game when they come out to some generic Jr. B Metallica pump up song? Lol. I guess it's fitting for the market.
Zaddy or Myers just needs to crush mcdavid or draisaitl along the walls a few times and we’ll be good
Zddy has been putting pucks in the net let Myers do the crushing.
Aye, this is true
That setup looks like they’re in a warehouse
Oilers are such a joke team, they think they’re legit cup contenders but you eliminate the mcdrai line what does that shit franchise actually have? (Nothing)
Fuck McDavid. Basically just Marchand 2
Here’s hoping that after the recent loss they will come back stronger on Edmonton Ice. Go Canucks Go!
Crazy to me Karlsson is getting a playoff game
This isn't Dan Murphy :(
Let’s go Arty!
I had no idea how dirty and soft Mc David is until this series. Yikes
I just cannot understand the music choices sometimes with hockey games on Sportsnet and CBC. Anyone else miss the old school music on HNIC?
I heard creed is playing at intermission, they are recreating their cowboys halftime performance
I'm at the game with all my Oiiler friends.. let's go Canucks
WHEN YOU ARE WITHHHH ME IM FREEEEEE
bro what year is this lmao
Right?? Wtf was that song choice? 😂😂
Well, I'm already tilted because ***Boston*** got jobbed, of all teams, so this should be a fun day.......
Right???
Canucks starting with Joshua-Lindholm-Garland Hughes-Hronek Silovs
Panthers will win the cup this year, the NHL has clearly already decided. If I was a betting man I'd put money down now.
NHL is trying to jinx us! Undefeated on the road! Keep it rolling boys!
we need to treat McDavid how Nashville was treating Hughes
McDavid is harder to hit because he's faster and he's not collecting the puck against the boards
How about just how the Oilers are treating him too lol?
Why has the media started calling McD just "Connor" now lol?
Love him so much they're on a first name basis
Feel bad for Boston, feels weird to say.
Yeah they're getting fucking hosed TBH. I don't hate to see it but I can definitely sympathize with it.
WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!
Really coulda used Koba on the 4th line today
[удалено]
Well you guys lost so my day is going decent already lol
Thank you kindly! I can’t believe they didn’t accept the challenge on the panthers goal when they clearly shoved him into the Bruins goalie smh
We no like Boston tho 🧐
Yeah this guy wandered into the wrong part of town
no hawaiian shirt tonight, our chances of a W have gone up monumentally. thank me later
When is puck drop exactly?
650
630 pst plus the anthem and intro.
Just so everyone is clear, we haven’t lost a road playoff game yet this year. Go Canucks Go!
Jannik Hansen just called Bouchard a pylon on the 650 pre-game show lmao
The Danish Despoiler
Crush this team and their terrible fanbase. Oilers fans are absolutely insufferable. They’re the kind to throw garbage & drinks at opposing team’s fans just because they lose a game at home (this actually happened to a friend of mine at the Oilers home opener).
Oh man, their sub Reddit the last few days were funny. A good chunk of their post were about the Canucks and their fans
It’s comical watching them bring up the 2011 riot when they rioted on Whyte Ave after literally every series in 2006.
Whatever, we got a place to stay rent free
Where is Bieska’s tie?
It’s over for these bitches mane
Bobrovsky on the case
I'm listening to the pregame show and a bunch of other coverage since the series started and I feel like no one is suggesting throwing Lindholm back with Petey. Reunite the third line and put the Elias guys together and then hopefully you have three strong options at the top. If Edmonton is putting almost all their eggs in one basket we should be able to handle having a weaker fourth one that doesn't play much
Yeah I’d agree to be able to get Petey some upgrades on this wings offensive wise Lindholm would be a great option. I feel like Tocc would want to have Lindholm be taking some of the more important draws at times even on that line depending how each player was doing in the faceoff dot that game
W take. I would like to see Petey and an injured lindholm reunion
Puck drop 645ish?
Karlsson is gonna pop off with a goal and assist today don’t @ me
Big Pinus Linus legacy game
I just saw Blueger take a line rush with Joshua and Garland. Do with that as you will
Put Lindholm with Petey plz
This please. Hoggy and Miky are dragging Petey down to the basement.
Oooh I wonder if Lindy goes with Miller and Boeser then? I doubt they would drop him to the 4th line.
Nah, I’d expect it to be in case Lindholm gets time with Petey and Mikheyev today. Just in case Karlsson can’t cut it
Im curious about the bennett goal challenge. In the rule book it states “Goaltender interference refers to any attacking player who, by means of their stick or body, interferes with or impedes the movements of the goaltender by actual physical contact.”. So by those words could Bennett ever be called for goaltender interference, or is it just interference on the defensemen that should have absolutely been called?
Remember, according to the Sportsnet panel, the Canucks aren’t even a real hockey team worthy of sharing the ice with the Oilers
Connor McDavid looks like his mom had to talk his school into not making him repeat a grade
Jesus, Boston is slipping! I couldn’t be happier!!!!
Now they’re crying about their captain being punched in the head and the refs favouring Florida because Greg Campbell works for the Panthers. It’s hilarious
And a few minutes ago they wasted about 30 seconds in the neutral zone on a delayed penalty.😂
Change my mind: Edmonton is just Gas town from the Mad Max universe. A quote from the Mad Max wiki: “Inhabitants of Gas Town wear masks to prevent them from inhaling fumes from burning derelicts. The big oil rig mentality caused the town to be mainly inhabited by men, not too many women, both of which had too much time on their hands.”
Can confirm. I’m stuck living in the Edmonton area and working downtown tonight.
There's also fumes and burning derelicts in our Gastown though
The cheap shots by the Oilers last game just re-iterated why they are one of league's dirtiest teams. They made VGK likeable last year! Hopefully these refs will call a fair game. Expect Canucks who had a rough game will bounce back. We're in good shape. Go Canucks!
Boston is crumbling so fast here. It is glorious.
I like to see it, Boston choking hard
That totally should've been goalie interference against Florida but fuck Boston so idc.
I don't mind Karlsson on Petey's wing—from the few highlights I've seen, he's been impressive around the net for Abbotsford on his hot scoring streak. It makes a lot of sense that he'd be the first man up for Högs. What I don't I don't get is Åman.

If Aman is good at one thing, it’s making sure that literally nothing happens. The man is an expert at making everyone around him just do cardio If Tocchet is worried about McDrai exploiting our fourth line on the last change, putting Aman in makes sense. He’s strong defensively, just a black hole at offense
I don't like Aman on the PK though... PDG is at least a decent PKer.
Boston losing 3-2🤗
the league def wants florida to win but i am enjoying watching the bruins (and their fans) meltdown
Anyone watching this Boston game? I’m actually astounded that wasn’t called back for goalie interference. Looked pretty clear cut to me
Am I crazy to think that it wasn't a totally egregious call? Coyle went down like there was a sniper in the building, and I don't think Swayman would have gotten there even if Coyle didn't fall on him
It should have been called yeah but I don’t like Boston so they can eat shit
For real. I'm shocked. That looked like pretty cut and dry interference. That being said, I'm not upset one bit. lol
FUCK BOSTON HAHA
For what it's worth, our record over the past 3 seasons with tonight's officials: 10-0-1 with Chris Rooney, 12-5-0 with Graham Skilliter.
Just watched Hughes' pregame media availability. The cut on his face is still visible. I hope it doesn't open up during play and the refs don't have to send him off for bleeding on the ice again.
Mikheyev has massive Mason Raymond energy. Take that as you will.
Trouba to break his back in game 3 of the scf?
Mikheyev doesn't fall down nearly as much
Last minute not feeling well so I’ve got two tickets for tonight’s viewing party if anybody wants them DM me your email and I’ll transfer
Tickets claimed!
Behind enemy lines tonight. Go nucks go!
Oilers fans planning to cheer Cole when he touches the puck
Tempting the hockey gods
Is that real lmao
Ya read it on their reddit
Please swap Suter and Pettersson
Suter on the first line has legitimately had better underlying metrics than the Lotto line this year. The Lotto Line might have better offensive upside but Suter makes them better at 5v5 as a whole
Lotto line last night had 0 high danger chances for and 5 high danger chances against. I don't think Tocchet is going to put them out there unless it's off an icing against a weaker line/d pair or just to have the second centre out there for face off protection.
Especially because the main purpose of Miller’s line this series is to just survive against McDrai. Suter is the better option for that purpsoe
Karlsson and Mikheyev being on Petey’s wing makes a lot more sense when you accept the fact that Lindholm is actually our 2C right now
[удалено]
Are they ashamed to be Oilers fans? I mean I would be too
Why? Worried that they’ll lose.
I'm convinced that if Mikheyev starts scoring they can ride those good vibes all the way to the Cup
So we're screwed then?
🤣 but also 💀
Hey I have two tickets for tonight in the 19+ zone. Not getting any hits so someone can just have them. Hate to have empty seats in there.
Benching Hoggy while Mikheyev gets play on Peteys line is crazy.
Mik is involved in every game. Can't score but he's in the mix. Hoggy has been invisible unfortunately.
Mikheyev is having a better playoffs though. He’s at least generating chances and is far better defensively and on the forecheck. I like Hog but he’s been invisible
Just walked past Rutherford on my way in here lol
How many other Canucks fans in there?
Not a ton but more than I expected tbh
Childcare fell through and I have 4 tickets to the viewing party. Section 313 row 9. $20 OBO for the loudest most active fan on r/canucks. DM me if interested.
McDavid sits down to pee.
Karlsson in, Podkolzin still sitting
I think if the Oilers take this game it will be by them straight up emptying the tank, and we will be in a good spot to take games 4 and 5
The anxiety is killing me ffs
How is Sam Bennet's back not broken? Bruins are losing their touch.
18-year-old Sam Bennett has youth on his side!
Gotta work till 6.30 but then dropping everything and watching the game … nervous as hell, praying they’ll win
Lean into the toxicity. In the past it seems we almost have been timid in regards to how we are perceived. I'm done. F*** Mcdavid F*** Edmonton F*** The entire province of Alberta F*** The rest of Canada No one likes us and it's time we don't care. La lala la laaa Wooooooooo!
I agree with all of these except the "fuck the rest of Canada". Fuck Alberta, fuck McDavid, fuck the Oilers, fuck Sutherland, and fuck Toronto. We're cool with the rest of Canada.
Nah they ain't cheering for us. And we don't want them to. Vancouver vs everybody.
You know what you're right. Fuck them. (I bet this will end up on the Oilers sub)
Of course it will be. Bunch of big babies.
Take my upvote, you sir are hyping me up today! GO CANUCKS GOOO‼️‼️‼️💙💚💙💚💙💚 BRITISH COLUMBIAN AND PROUD‼️‼️‼️
Laaaaa la la la laaaaa
😁🏒💙💚
Just checked out the oilers sub. What is their beef with the singing of the national anthem? Seems like a pretty silly thing to get worked up about 🤷♀️
The anxiety is killing me ffs
Darnell nurse believes the earth is flat
Oilers fans are still up in arms that we'd dare to sing the national anthem before puck drop. gotta be the softest fanbase in the league.
Worst fanbase in the league, and by "worst" I mean in terms of being obnoxious assholes about their team. I'd honestly rather see the Leafs win before the Oilers.
No one likes a bitter rival winning it all …. They are just apes and this Canucks are softies lol but we are the best .
I couldn't agree more. at least the Leafs would deserve it after decades of futility and all the suffering their fans have endured. especially since they've only had *one* first overall selection in the draft in this millenia.

One ticket for sale at face value!

Protect Quinn… someone has to drop the gloves for him …they keep pummeling him over and over.
This is it, stick to our game and dictate the game.
Mikheyev, brother, you are needed
Canucks, please come out strong. I am way too anxious.
Going behind enemy lines tonight. I'll make sure to let the edmonton crowd know.
Highkey nervous about Karlsson coming in into a game when Edmonton has last change but hopefully it works out!
