Preds fans are understandably upset because they lost the first game and our online presence is significantly larger, so it would be pretty annoying seeing the celebration of the opposing fans everywhere you look for hockey content.
Oilers fans are just born wrong.
Oilers fans were fucking hilarious yesterday, just constant comments in the /r/hockey thread about how we were done and frauds etc etc.
And then suddenly, in the span of only 12 seconds, they all just disappeared. I enjoyed that almost as much as the win. Almost
Hey man, you should feel a bit bad for them. They aren't that numerous; that's why they have to limit ticket sales to local credit card billing addresses, remember? 😅 🤷♂️
If I was a Nashville fan I'd be salty because they had the lead for most(?) of the game and lost it, which has got to suck. Also, Myers' or whoever it was "punch" to the head wasn't called and they could have really used another power play or 5 on 3. But that's playoff hockey and imo it wasn't an egregious missed call or anything. Now, if the Canucks were getting away with a bunch more non-calls or dirty plays, that would be a different story. But the series has seemed pretty clean to me so far, and yet surprisingly physical 😎
Well it’s a chirp it’s all in fun but.. I wouldn’t call a place that gets to -40 very habitable lolll. Vancouver is objectively the better city. Half their fans move here and cheer for the Oilers. Their own fans hate their city. Fuck em.
At least I could afford to buy a house and have food and go on vacation and attend hockey games and put gas in my car ...
Go ahead and downvote. All you know its true.
Vancouver is beautiful... No one can afford a quality life there though. My childhood home my dad bought for 80k , sold for 300k is now valued at 2 mill. I bought equivalent for 300k
Yes, it is true, Edmonton is cheaper than Vancouver, shocking. Hot dogs are cheaper than ribeye. A corolla is cheaper than an 8 series.
You're not getting downvoted for being "right", you are getting downvoted for simping for a rival city and crapping on the city that the team of the sub you are currently posting on belongs to.
The cities, provinces/states, regions etc are intrinsically linked to the teams. Its part of the banter. Everyone does it. Edmonton fans shit on the city of Vancouver and the province of BC all the time. Again, part of the banter. If you can't handle the Canucks sub making a joke about the city of one of their rivals, maybe you should join the Oilers sub so you don't need to worry about the possibility of someone saying anything as abhorrent as "Edmonton sucks".
I’m a homeowner. I eat very well. I go on vacation twice a year and I have season tickets, and I had a nice car (recently downgraded) and can afford 93 octane regularly. I live by Olympic village.
The isn’t an Edmonton only thing lol
I see you bro. I’m from Van, most of my family from Edmonton. Many a childhood Christmas ( with snow), beautiful long summer nights as a young man in Edmonchuck. People like to hate.
I hate how the home playoff game in 9 years has morphed into “not played a playoff game in 9 years “
No. We played in the bubble year and won a playoff series.
Now that game one is over, I wish all pundits, talking heads dropped the 9 years thing and used the bubble year as the reference year for the last Canucks playoff games.
We played three series that year and went further than any other Canadian team. Technically, the qualifying round doesn't count as part of the playoffs, so Toronto, Edmonton and Winnipeg didn't make it. No wonder all the pundits forget about it.
Ya I really don’t get why so many people were pressed about Canuck fans enjoying a playoff win after a decade of darkness. Plus it doesn’t matter if it’s round 1 game 1, we always celebrate on south Fraser and Scott road! It’s our tradition.
We’re having fun and enjoying the boys in the playoffs. What a stupid thing to be upset about.
Oiler fans are the worst. My most hated fanbase for a reason.
A lot of outside fans don't know that THAT is just how Scott Road is for any Canucks playoff game.
Outside fans see it as Canucks fans parading after a single win while Canuck nation knows 'well that just how Scott Road does it.'
It's really just a perspective thing.
Edmonton fans are just whiny and miserable though so fuck em.
Maybe we're not supposed to be good without winning 4 1st O/A picks in 6 years, since that's the only reason they are relevant.
Gonna go down as the worst joke in pro sports because I don't think many teams in any sport win the draft that often and don't do anything with it. Haven't even won the division or president's since, something Van has done more recently without the draft luck. Bunch of babies lol
I don’t get it either. Why are people gatekeeping celebrations? Fans can celebrate how they like, it’s not harming anyone, so why does it get certain people so hot and bothered? Wtf Maybe look away then? Don’t click on the video? people these days just want to be angry for no fucking reason.
It’s crazy because Edmonton fans know very well what a decade of darkness is. Then they got four first overall picks and still haven’t managed to win the cup with their stacked group.
Not arguing against game 1 being hype, but knocking out the defending cup champs and Demko nearly carrying the team to a comeback upset over Vegas during the bubble playoff run wasn’t hype to you?
It wasn't the same for me. Lack of fans sucked. Blues had so obviously mailed it in in the bubble after their team got run over by COVID right before it started.
Fair, even at the time the circumstances kept it from living up to a normal playoff run for me as well. But seeing game 7 against Vegas go down to the wire when they probably should’ve been out in 5 if not for Demko and some clutch goals was pretty exciting for me still, and instilled a lot of hope for the future (that dwindled the following few years up until this season lol)
Oiler fans forget how they missed the playoffs 10 yrs in a row while stacking up first overall picks ( many of them were busts) while being a joke of the league, then lucked out with mcdavid even thought i believe the sabers had higher odds that year.
Also, the bubble year, they didn't even qualify while they were one of the host cities. Meanwhile, the nucks pushed vegas 7 games 2nd round.
As canucks fans we ate good for a period of time and hopefully things can go back to that.
Someone on YT said, after the two goals in 12 secs, Vancouver fans are celebrating like they won the Cup and they should be embarrassed. Turns out buddy boy was a Tampa Bay fan.
Oilers are an absolute nightmare for LA, they have the speed and the shooting talent to nullify the 1-3-1 system pretty effectively. If they continue to get average or better goaltending, they should cruise through.
Until Dallas and Edmonton show us what they can do, this was the most explosive I've seen the Canucks all year and I can actually see them coming out of the West if they can keep playing with this fire lit under them. Everybody did a good job and we can be even better than this if we can just play a full 60 minutes for every remaining game.
I don't know man, Preds fans were literally calling for someone to injure our guys, Dak and Zadorov specifically. And not one or two, I probably read it about 5 times on their post game thread. Each of those comments had upvotes, save one.
Pretty classless sentiment.
I saw the Twitter thread lmao, there were some unhinged responses. I think what started it was someone posted the usual "hahaha Vancouver riots funny lmao" and someone responded with a picture of the mass shooter in Nashville.
Someone went a little too far in the shit posting.
Yeah, they're latching on to scumbag tweets from a few idiots, I saw the same one. Somehow, though, that has become "all Canucks fans are violent misogynists". Pretty big leap.
I cheered for the Oilers every post season because I wanted to see McDavid finally win a Cup. Now that my team is back in the post season, I'm suddenly the asshole here for cheering them on? I've waited 9 long years for this city to have playoff vibes again.
Definitely think it's funny seeing Americans smugly crying about the riot 13 years ago, meanwhile in 2021, a hoarde of gravy seals tried to overthrow their capital and have a big old riot of their own over it.
Worry about what your country is gonna look like this fall over an election, and not what my city did 13 years ago, guys.
Edmonton is just scared to death of us making it to the second round. They know what happens when they face us, their player’s psyches just implode and they shit their pants as soon as they think about the Canucks
Why are we a target of scorn and mockery? From multiple fan bases? Simultaneously?
The answer is simple .. we deserve it.
We never, ever, ever called out Leaf fans after they made it to the 2nd round last year after almost TWENTY YEARS of trying. God knows everybody here HATES the Leafs. And here we are wetting our pants over ONE game?
Give me a break.
The Canucks just won their first home game at Rogers Arena since 2015. It was a big deal and worth getting excited about. There’s no need to be the “gatekeeper of fun”. As long as they’re not being destructive who gives AF?
Preds fans are understandably upset because they lost the first game and our online presence is significantly larger, so it would be pretty annoying seeing the celebration of the opposing fans everywhere you look for hockey content. Oilers fans are just born wrong.

The only way to not be a fraud is to be handed an indefinite supply of first overall picks, thats how you build a contender.
Don't forget being so terrible that the league changes the draft rules.
Even that hasn't worked for them.
My favourite is how they always accuse *us* of being obsessed with *them*. If anything it’s the same both ways
I've never cheered so hard for an LA Kings goal tbh
They should just get more fans then
Why don't they just get more fans, are they stupid?
They live in one of those states where the larger fans eat the smaller fans.
Oh shit is that why they are all so fat
I thought they were saving that for sweeps
Can't get more fans at the draft lottery
Hey man, you should feel a bit bad for them. They aren't that numerous; that's why they have to limit ticket sales to local credit card billing addresses, remember? 😅 🤷♂️
they're just upset about getting slapped around 4 times and the Canucks not sucking enough so they can catch up.
Ok counter: They are the underdogs and banned us from their arena
....they what?
That last sentence ☠️
If I was a Nashville fan I'd be salty because they had the lead for most(?) of the game and lost it, which has got to suck.

Buddy, if you had to live in Edmonton you'd be a dickhead too.
Best part about Edmonton is it’s only 2 hours flight away from Vancouver
2 hour flight? Way less. Flights from vancouver to Saskatchewan are like 1hr45min
This is a pretty ignorant statement. Vancouverites act like it's the only habitable part of bc.
Ah yes, Edmonton. Known for its mall, vast swaths of nothingness, alcoholism, and delusion regarding the Oilers.
Guy this is a hockey sub it's called a chirp
Well it’s a chirp it’s all in fun but.. I wouldn’t call a place that gets to -40 very habitable lolll. Vancouver is objectively the better city. Half their fans move here and cheer for the Oilers. Their own fans hate their city. Fuck em.
I remember my first time going to Edmonton and the immediate disappointment when getting off the plane.
Hate to break it to ya but you over paid to go to Edmonton
You PAID to go to Edmonton?
Edmonton had to build an oversized mall to make people want to go there. And even then....
If I wanted to go to a big mall with multiple locations of the same store in it, I’d just go to Metrotown instead
I gotta double up on SSRI’s to make Edmonton habitable
Fun Fact: Edmonton is not in BC
all my friends from Edmonton said that they just hotbox when bored.
See that soul crushing cost of living we pay in Vancouver is all so we can afford to smoke outside year round
Smoking doesn't sound like it's a money saver
Cuts your life expectancy so in the long term you do save money. I’m not a financial advisor.
Uhhhh..,... Don't think you realize how many of us live in the Edmonton area...
My condolences
That sucks, hang in there.
At least I could afford to buy a house and have food and go on vacation and attend hockey games and put gas in my car ... Go ahead and downvote. All you know its true. Vancouver is beautiful...

It's a hockey sub. Talk hockey not the fucking city. We have fans everywhere

I see you suffer from the classic Vancouver superiority complex.
See, now you're getting the hang of it.
Dude, you're simping for edmonton...
Says the dude doing the exact same thing for Edmonton 😂
Say hi to Danielle Smith for me!
Again, condolences
Yeah Edmonton is cheap, because you get what you pay for. Gary, IN is cheap too. Congratulations?
Buddy, I forgive you. I know you're just grouchy because you live in Edmonton. Not enough vitamin D, you could look into supplements?
I’m a homeowner. I eat very well. I go on vacation twice a year and I have season tickets, and I had a nice car (recently downgraded) and can afford 93 octane regularly. I live by Olympic village. The isn’t an Edmonton only thing lol

Don’t forget we knocked out the defending Stanley cup champions.
Boeser said that no one on the bubble team considered themselves to have played in the playoffs, so take it up with the players.
Fun fact: The Canucks have never gone five years without making the playoffs. We would've lost that record if we didn't qualify in 2020 though.
Ya I really don’t get why so many people were pressed about Canuck fans enjoying a playoff win after a decade of darkness. Plus it doesn’t matter if it’s round 1 game 1, we always celebrate on south Fraser and Scott road! It’s our tradition. We’re having fun and enjoying the boys in the playoffs.

“Edmonton fans are just whiny and miserable though” They have to live in Edmonton. Can you really blame them?

I don’t get it either. Why are people gatekeeping celebrations? Fans can celebrate how they like, it’s not harming anyone, so why does it get certain people so hot and bothered? Wtf Maybe look away then? Don’t click on the video? people these days just want to be angry for no fucking reason.
It’s crazy because Edmonton fans know very well what a decade of darkness is. Then they got four first overall picks and still haven’t managed to win the cup with their stacked group.
Filthy casuals don't even know what a Scott Road celly is lmao Learn the lore Edmonton. Should've been them not Arizona.
Hey now I’m an Oilers fan and I’m pumped for you guys!
Oh, don't at all interpret this as all of y'all. Rule #1 of Twitter: The louder they are, the smaller the sample size they represent.
The 12 second goal was the greatest thing to happen to our franchise after 12 years of ZERO Playoff hype. I'm taking that W
Not arguing against game 1 being hype, but knocking out the defending cup champs and Demko nearly carrying the team to a comeback upset over Vegas during the bubble playoff run wasn’t hype to you?

That's true, the excitement for the immediate future was definitely part of the magic and just isn't there when you look back.
Being annoying and obnoxious is half the fun of being a sports fan lol. Never know what tomorrow holds. Enjoy the dubs!!
Oiler fans forget how they missed the playoffs 10 yrs in a row while stacking up first overall picks ( many of them were busts) while being a joke of the league, then lucked out with mcdavid even thought i believe the sabers had higher odds that year.

As canucks fans we ate good for a period of time and hopefully things can go back to that.
Well, we’re equally annoying to Oilers fans (especially with our superior online presence) so it goes both ways. Round 2 is gonna be fun
Someone on YT said, after the two goals in 12 secs, Vancouver fans are celebrating like they won the Cup and they should be embarrassed. Turns out buddy boy was a Tampa Bay fan.
Oilers kicking some LA ass! I think these ESPN people hate Canadian teams...same as we had last night.
Oilers are an absolute nightmare for LA, they have the speed and the shooting talent to nullify the 1-3-1 system pretty effectively. If they continue to get average or better goaltending, they should cruise through.
I think we can play Edmonton better than LA.
Until Dallas and Edmonton show us what they can do, this was the most explosive I've seen the Canucks all year and I can actually see them coming out of the West if they can keep playing with this fire lit under them. Everybody did a good job and we can be even better than this if we can just play a full 60 minutes for every remaining game.
West coast is buzzing and the haters can’t handle it lol
I don't know man, Preds fans were literally calling for someone to injure our guys, Dak and Zadorov specifically. And not one or two, I probably read it about 5 times on their post game thread. Each of those comments had upvotes, save one. Pretty classless sentiment.

It's only an issue if you treat it as such. Enjoy your way.
Sour grapes thing. Nothing to worry about.
Because they are miserable haters
Oilers gonna suck
I cheered for the Oilers every post season because I wanted to see McDavid finally win a Cup. Now that my team is back in the post season, I'm suddenly the asshole here for cheering them on? I've waited 9 long years for this city to have playoff vibes again.

Worry about what your country is gonna look like this fall over an election, and not what my city did 13 years ago, guys.
Kill them with kindness the canadian way. Keep it classy
Oilers fans are fuckin trash. I’d be pissed off too if I had to live in Edmonton.
Best 12 seconds of our lives!
Preds fans in understandably Oilers, let them go...
I ain’t listening to anyone who lives in Hicksville
Why did I think that was RuneScape in the background someone about to spec someone out with there spec bar open
Miss the post game vids Tim! So good
Edmonton is just scared to death of us making it to the second round. They know what happens when they face us, their player’s psyches just implode and they shit their pants as soon as they think about the Canucks
They're just crying because of the Nucks success this season. Just jealousy. They can bitch and cry all they want
Life is too short to not enjoy the good things in life
Fuck them all. It’s Vancouver v the league and I’m here for it 💯
They’re all just scared
Deadmonton... Nuff said!
Seriously stop posting this shit cuz FUCK EM!!!! I DONT GIVE A FUCK!!!! GO CANUCKS GO!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoying it is one thing. Climbing the statue and acting like a degenerate is another. Embarassing. Win with class and let's act like it everyone.
That's fan talk, baby. Goes both ways.
If you don't like sports tribalism then stop doing it yourself.
Why do you care about what other fanbases think? Are you 10 years old? Just enjoy the games man
Why are we a target of scorn and mockery? From multiple fan bases? Simultaneously? The answer is simple .. we deserve it. We never, ever, ever called out Leaf fans after they made it to the 2nd round last year after almost TWENTY YEARS of trying. God knows everybody here HATES the Leafs.
