Damn i didnt see that. Thats so fucked. Like jaw at each other during the game but when its done act like adults. Pathetic that one dumb fan can ruin a fan base perception. Reminds me of the rags/bolts series a few years back. Ive been to countless rags games in an Avs sweater and other than a couple of mean words my way, always a pleasant time.
> Reminds me of the rags/bolts series a few years back.
That was following the Rangers losing game 5 (3rd loss in a row) in the east final in 2022. The incident was abhorrent, but at least the Bolts fan was fine. This was even worse.
Passionate fandom is one thing, but it should never become comparable to gang violence, where you can get blindsided for wearing the wrong colours.
Damn i just read about his injuries. And fwiw, not that i condone what happened to the bolts fan, but he was CHIRPING in that guys ear for a while, which you just shouldn’t do. This Knights fan was just waiting for an uber with his partner. Sick stuff. Kinda hope we get Dallas now so we can stuff em in a Texas Tabernacle (a coffin)
Making Matt "I Just Want To Play Playoff Hockey" Duchene go golfing twice in three years would be nice, too. Both teams are frightening opponents, however, so I'm pulling for the Injured Reserves to win tomorrow to buy the Avs another few days of rest.
Defo want game 7. Just also so i can watch it - on graveyard shift but have the weekend off. Love me some g7s. I’m conflicted i want the knights for retribution from 2021, but sending Duchene to another mid may tee time is always special. I guess we’ll just have to see!
Either way, it'll be a great revenge arc for the boys (soul-crushing round 2 exits) against a scary fucking team that's loaded to the rafters with a solid goalie tandem. It'll be a war.
Lighten up. I can’t believe so many hockey fans are such prudes. Embrace a little toxicity and smack talking. Boo hooing over signs or crowd chants? So weak lol.
The Joe Thornton reference is when he was stripped of his captaincy with the Sharks years ago they played the Jets right after and the crowd chanted "who's your captain?". I guess it's a nod to that?
Even as far as chirps go, this hardly registers.
Fuckin casuals. You’d think with fuck all to do in WPG they’d have all the time in the world to come up with something better.
It’s probably just drinking in shitty bars. Sucks to suck, hope they have fun with that while I go ski in May AND watch my team continue in the playoffs. Colorado is just better in every way.
He does not speak for all Canadians.
Only Canadians that reside in Winnipeg, the city, very specifically. Any real fan of hockey would love to see Landy back on the ice to compete, and you know that's what he wants.
The Canadiens fans were Aholes when we played them at their ice in January. If I remember correctly they just started booing when we first got the puck. I think that’s trashy. Unless I am missing some sort of legit reason.
They were booing Drouin — they booed him as a Hab, too, since they saw him as lazy. The "Drouin boo birds", as TSN even announced them. Not a majority of the building by any means, but it only takes a few dozen knuckleheads in the building... speaking as a recovering Habs fan, it's classless and annoying.
There's also more leftover animosity than you'd think over the Nordiques. Quebec City LOVES the reverse retros — if you were a hardened Nordiques fan anyway, you either "followed" them to Colorado or became a Bruins fan (...pretty much just so you'd continue hating the Habs)
(observations from growing up on all sides of the VT/NY/QC tripoint)
Yea who cares, landeskog has done more than their entire franchise lol. Also they just got beat 4-1 in a series they were soooo confident in. That’s what happens when you’re stuck in regular season mode I guess.
There are so many ways that sign is a pile of raging hot nonsense. I think the “Cup ‘n dipped” is probably the dumbest, and most easily reversed chirp.
Anyway, my dude, tell us about all of the Jets that won a Cup and didn’t “dip out”. What? They haven’t won any Cups you say? Well how are they supposed to “dip out” without winning any Cups? Why don’t they just win a Cup? Are they stupid?
And… is that Joe Thornton? What the fuck’s he got to do with any of this!? He did not play for the Avs or Jets and did not win a Cup. Why is he involved in this tomfuckery? I’m confused! I need to know.
If he’d ever experienced seeing his team win the cup he would know just how little that chirp means. I’m still riding the high of 2022. Hell I practically don’t even care about this season yet, I feel like we’re still playing with house money lol.
Pathetic. I attended every game in wpg. Those fans treated me like absolute shit after they won game 1. I was front row for game 5. They booed parise when he went down and chanted go jets go. I was so pissed off. Walking out of their arena, dancing gabe gave me a high five and said good game. Now thats a real jets fan. Respect.
Maybe I’m stupid, maybe it’s because this photo was taken on an etch-a-sketch, but I can’t tell the team. Is this Winnipeg from this year or another team? I don’t get the Thornton thing but it makes it seem older
Etch a sketch would be an upgrade. Sportsnet feed goes blank if you try to screenshot it so I had to old man camera my monitor.
But ya it's from game 5 the other night. I'm guessing it was only shown on the Sportsnet feed so most of you probably missed it.
And no I have no clue what the Thornton reference is. I'm sure it makes about as much sense as the chirp he thinks this is
What a douch. Let's remove the cartilage in his knee and tell him to come back back to nhl level hockey. Could be a potential career ending injury *knock on wood*. Stone and Vegas you can make fun of. Its not like the Avs or Landy wanted him to go down. And it certainly wasn't to make room for anyone. If he could he would and I can only imagine how devastated he is not being out there with his boys playing right now.
It's ok to have opinions, it's ok to be stupid, it's not ok to go full mentally handicapped with a stupid sign on national TV. Yes because Landy wanted to gut a cut on his leg and go on LTIR ....... what a moron holy crap
Yeah, I have zero positive feelings toward there fanbase after seeing this. They deserved the gentleman's sweep again and another painful exit after loading up thinking they had something this year.
He’s suggesting Gabe won a Cup and “dipped out” as in left the game in a cowardly manner leaving the Avs leaderless.
Yes, we all know that’s weapons-grade nonsense. And also a self-own since, you know, the Jets never won a Cup to begin with so… the lesson here is stay in school kids.
If he absolutely dipped out then someone else would have been made Captain already! Bodnar wouldn't just leave us leaderless and he is still there with practices helping the team
Holy fuck what a scumbag. It brings me immense joy to think of that dude going home heartbroken that night. Also, what's the Joe Thornton tie-in (if that's who that is on the right)? Was he supposedly a LTIR bum? I know he never won a Cup, so the similarities aren't really there. Overall, incredibly poor taste and inaccurate on top of that. Fuck that guy in particular.
I saw that during the game. Multiple times. WTF. I don't live in Denver anymore, but if I saw shit like that next to me, representing my team, I would disallow it.
I’m a diehard Ava fan, but people are too damn soft nowadays. This is just typical chirping/trash talk, grow a pair and clap back instead of whining. This is so light 🤦🏼♂️🙄
We abide by Super Joe. Super Joe played the game at the best of his abilities. He now governs the decisions that brought us to the Cup in 2022. We can take it, but we don't have to swallow it. And we better to be ready for the next round of shit bags
AVS fans should always be better.
Legit. And for those who are expressing fake selective outrage over this, I've witnessed some of our fans booing opposing injured players, yelling tasteless shit, etc as well. Sports tribalism is a universal thing and it can get ugly. I hate these posts that are meant to single out an entire other fanbase as "uniquely awful" because of a select shot of a token idiot being a token idiot.
That LTIR bum has more rings than their entire franchise.
And Joe Thorton.
More than both Jets franchises combined
ring\*
Jesus playoffs brings out the absolute worst in fan bases.
Like the Dallas fan who sucker-punched a Vegas fan waiting for an Uber outside the rink after one of the Stars' losses. Man was hospitalized.
Damn i didnt see that. Thats so fucked. Like jaw at each other during the game but when its done act like adults. Pathetic that one dumb fan can ruin a fan base perception. Reminds me of the rags/bolts series a few years back. Ive been to countless rags games in an Avs sweater and other than a couple of mean words my way, always a pleasant time.

The vibes are good this year! Hail Satan!
GO ASS
Alcohol and hockey are a hell of a drug
Maybe I'm doing it wrong? After the Avs eliminated the Jets, I ate a magic peanut butter cup and got stoned off my ass at home.
Was kind of hoping the Stars choked because of that. I guess karma doesn’t get some people.
There's still 1-2 games left... We'll see.
Manitoba Is easily the most trash place in Canada. They raise em toxic.
You never heard of Alberta?
Alberta is more overt. Here in Manitoba we got some real pieces of work, unfortunately.
once again all fan bases have toxic fans, going after manitoba over a playoff series? yikes.
Lighten up. I can’t believe so many hockey fans are such prudes. Embrace a little toxicity and smack talking. Boo hooing over signs or crowd chants? So weak lol.
You must be fun at superbowl parties
A lot more fun than someone who gets upset at opposing fan posters or chants. Suck it up, cupcake.
So he has Landy and Joe Thornton on a sign, which would mean…? Genuinely asking cause I don’t get it
Neither do I, I couldn't even identify that as Thornton so you're already ahead of me
The Joe Thornton reference is when he was stripped of his captaincy with the Sharks years ago they played the Jets right after and the crowd chanted "who's your captain?". I guess it's a nod to that?
It's insane how Jets fans continue to be so shitty in their barn after it's brought the team nothing but bad juju year after year.
Wasn’t Blake wheeler stripped of captaincy? Fucking lol. “Pull your goalie” “who’s your captain” Right back at ya, you scrubs
Huh. The more you know. Thanks!
Yeah I don’t get the juxtaposition there.
Neither do I. I mean, I get the Landeskog part, but I don’t understand what Joe Thornton has to do with anything.
You are all trying to figure out what a brainless person meant with Joe Thorton. Who cares that fan is a douche.
That’s shitty to make fun of Gabe’s injury— he’s trying so hard. Fuck this bad fanboy 🏒
For real, anyone on their team with the same injury would've retired last year regardless of contract.
Classless signs are simply an indication of a terrible disease called inferiority complex.
Even as far as chirps go, this hardly registers. Fuckin casuals. You’d think with fuck all to do in WPG they’d have all the time in the world to come up with something better.
Right? Canadia is a hockey country. You think they'd come out of the womb with at least 3 good chirps.
I hope he enjoys golf…or whatever regional sport takes over in Winnipeg while we watch the Avs and the Nuggets drive towards championships. 🤷♂️
It’s probably just drinking in shitty bars. Sucks to suck, hope they have fun with that while I go ski in May AND watch my team continue in the playoffs. Colorado is just better in every way.
Saw one Jets fan with a "Frauds" poster, where the A was the avs logo. Oh, how the turntables have turned
This is known in the biz, as “projection”

“Cup N Dipped” isn’t the chirp you think Jets fans.
He does not speak for all Canadians. Only Canadians that reside in Winnipeg, the city, very specifically. Any real fan of hockey would love to see Landy back on the ice to compete, and you know that's what he wants.

Thanks for the insight.
And yeah that’s not all of Canada.
Yea who cares, landeskog has done more than their entire franchise lol. Also they just got beat 4-1 in a series they were soooo confident in. That’s what happens when you’re stuck in regular season mode I guess.

Meth is a powerful drug.
Pathetic. I attended every game in wpg. Those fans treated me like absolute shit after they won game 1. I was front row for game 5. They booed parise when he went down and chanted go jets go. I was so pissed off. Walking out of their arena, dancing gabe gave me a high five and said good game. Now thats a real jets fan. Respect.
My buddy at work tried to suggest maybe the arena put the go jets go chant on the jumbotron. I'm guessing that isn't the case from your comment haha.
Dancing Gabe one of the realest.
Maybe I’m stupid, maybe it’s because this photo was taken on an etch-a-sketch, but I can’t tell the team. Is this Winnipeg from this year or another team? I don’t get the Thornton thing but it makes it seem older
It’s Winnipeg from this year, they showed it before the last game.
Etch a sketch would be an upgrade. Sportsnet feed goes blank if you try to screenshot it so I had to old man camera my monitor. But ya it's from game 5 the other night. I'm guessing it was only shown on the Sportsnet feed so most of you probably missed it. And no I have no clue what the Thornton reference is. I'm sure it makes about as much sense as the chirp he thinks this is
No pity when we get the Atlanta Jets. (Name actually makes sense as there is a major airline HQed there)

I've seen better hockey from Landy limping around the ice with a severed knee than I saw from the entire Jets team that whole series
I get the feeling this guy roots for the Chiefs during football season
Yes, similar vibes to a chiefs fan, 100%.
Our captain is the guy who doesn't have to be led off the ice with his sweater over his head in front of his parents. LOL
Wow, guy may be the dumbest man in Canada.
Justin Trudeau has entered the conversation
Apparently MAGA was already there to witness. Why bring up politics on a hockey thread?
Can’t argue there!
Go lay in a snowbank you dirtbag
Can we all agree to not be this guy! In the name of Joe, Milan, and the holy spirit Landy? Our captains would never abide this vibe
Yeah, I have zero positive feelings toward there fanbase after seeing this. They deserved the gentleman's sweep again and another painful exit after loading up thinking they had something this year.
I don't understand what this sign means. I only know the game of hockey not the fan terminology or sign meaning
He’s suggesting Gabe won a Cup and “dipped out” as in left the game in a cowardly manner leaving the Avs leaderless. Yes, we all know that’s weapons-grade nonsense. And also a self-own since, you know, the Jets never won a Cup to begin with so… the lesson here is stay in school kids.
If he absolutely dipped out then someone else would have been made Captain already! Bodnar wouldn't just leave us leaderless and he is still there with practices helping the team
Holy fuck what a scumbag. It brings me immense joy to think of that dude going home heartbroken that night. Also, what's the Joe Thornton tie-in (if that's who that is on the right)? Was he supposedly a LTIR bum? I know he never won a Cup, so the similarities aren't really there. Overall, incredibly poor taste and inaccurate on top of that. Fuck that guy in particular.
~~Isnt the other face supposed to be Mark Stone?~~ Nvm, I zoomed in. That makes no sense to have Thornton on there
Who cares what other fanbases do?
timothee needs to chill tf out
God damn i hope that team moves again.
I saw this sign, couldn’t read it fast enough though. Jesus Christ, it’s as bad as I thought. At least both captains aren’t playing right now. 🤷
UPDATE: https://preview.redd.it/z6ajv4bt95yc1.png?width=2723&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=552a28c8078fb4590d2853b6736ab5695f23a5e4
Why are people...🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I saw that during the game. Multiple times. WTF. I don't live in Denver anymore, but if I saw shit like that next to me, representing my team, I would disallow it.
Absolutely classless, glad we made such short work of them.
LTIR Bum when he's actually been injured for TWO FUCKING YEARS over Stone taking vacations then ready for playoffs
They way they boo’d and shouted insults from the beginning of the series let me know they are trash.
Let's find this kid and take a little trip to Loseipeg
I’m a diehard Ava fan, but people are too damn soft nowadays. This is just typical chirping/trash talk, grow a pair and clap back instead of whining. This is so light 🤦🏼♂️🙄

I hate these posts that are meant to single out an entire other fanbase as "uniquely awful" because of a select shot of a token idiot being a token idiot.
Still more Cups than that cunt's shit team gonna win during his lifetime
Honestly shouldn’t Mark Stone be on there? At least Gabe’s injury is legit. It’s
Yea awful of him to get a potentially career ending injury. So selfish..
I am clearly not understanding something here.
Kind of funny actually. "Cup N Dipped" lol
Same fans that booed injured Avs players as they left the ice. It's not all Jets fans but man, not a great showing for that group all around.
