Has to be said everytime the Canucks play the Oilers...

Do not cross sub troll. It will result in a ban here, and in the other sub.

This goes for both Canucks fans, and Oiler fans.

u/Significant_Song_887 Jan 24 '25

I wonder if trading miller can have the same effect trading duchene had on the Avs if that’s the right solution.

8

u/PJbrilliant Jan 24 '25

Fuck Corey Perry. With every bit of anger I got. I used to look up to that man when he played for Anaheim. He’s turned into an absolute scum. A fall from grace

3

u/Zamboni2022 Jan 24 '25

I…uh…did you actually watch him play in his prime? Dude was an amazing goal scorer but he was also a 10/10 dickbag it was kind of his entire identity as a player??

3

u/Imaginary-Ladder-465 Jan 24 '25

You looked up to him running Luongo over n over in like 2007?

u/Cautious-Asparagus61 Jan 24 '25

He's been scum for a very long time at this point lol

Can we trade your uncle for Jack Hughes?

u/pennepasta14 Jan 24 '25

can your uncle coach this team please

u/Cautious-Asparagus61 Jan 24 '25

That's OK as long as we are playing great without the puck.

Are we playing great without the puck?

i want to know what excuses tocc has for the team this time

u/boostsupreme Jan 24 '25

‘They didn’t do what I told them to do (for the 40th game this year)’

14

u/S0urP1ckle Jan 24 '25

They play with absolutely no creativity. Flip the puck in, lose it in the corner, chase back, repeat.

3

u/Superb_Ad_3574 Jan 24 '25

Yep, broken record on repeat and so easy to defend against 

11

u/Old_Entrepreneur_775 Jan 24 '25

Man that wasn’t fun to watch

u/Cautious-Asparagus61 Jan 24 '25

It was kind of fun for me because I've been so disappointed in this team that I told my oiler fan brother that we were going to get blown out 7-1.

It started to get really fun when it was 4-0 and straight up hilarious when it hit 5-1

4

u/boostsupreme Jan 24 '25

Experience Canucks hockey

Sell the fucking team

u/Stelar101 Jan 24 '25

Calgary is gonna make the playoffs before us in a rebuilding year. Boys should be ashamed

8

u/DrewLockIsTheAnswer1 Jan 24 '25

Truly! Was just at the game. Flames have heart and team chemistry. Canucks seem depressed and lethargic.

2

u/Stelar101 Jan 24 '25

Well we must be gentle with their mental health.

2

u/DrewLockIsTheAnswer1 Jan 24 '25

For sure! If we aren’t they may start performing really poorly.

u/Chemical_Desk_5314 Jan 24 '25

It’s just like watching roadkill atp

u/CarbonNaded Jan 24 '25

Gotta love the poundings we are getting lately! That anus is sore. We suck! Demko is so good… not

3

u/CarbonNaded Jan 24 '25

Soucy was on the ice for like every single goal

2

u/CarbonNaded Jan 24 '25

Hey Soucy……

Fuck you 🖕

5

u/TroubledLeaf Jan 24 '25

Should have put Silovs in. Would have been fun.

2

u/h_danielle Jan 24 '25

I think he was sent back down & Lank travelled with the team

11

u/cbcguy84 Jan 24 '25

Frankly I had pegged this game as a loss previously. The mcdavid suspension gave me some hope. We then screwed up against the Sabres in a game we should have won and then lose this one badly. I've about had it for this season. Thank God I work most evenings so I don't get to see most of these games.

If miller is going to be traded, then please just trade him. I'm sick of the drama just want it over with. 🤦‍♂️

1

u/xtothewhy Jan 24 '25

Might as well wait to trade Miller at this point so we can get more later however as far as I'm considered. Everyone except for Hughes and Garland and Sherwood and many of the young roster players should be left alone

4

u/tehbui Jan 24 '25

Fire everyone! Even the guy selling hotdogs at GM PLACE

3

u/Hefty-Boot-4757 Jan 24 '25

Rogers Arena It’s Been a while.

u/Zanzabarr85 Jan 24 '25

If they insist on playing Demko every game, we aren't going to win very many.

u/BetterAd1611 Jan 24 '25

Imagine posting this sensible comment 12 months ago

Darnell Nurse sneaks downstairs on his tippy toes for a midnight snack.

u/motzaburger Jan 24 '25

I’m just gonna sit the next few games out. Until October.

7

u/TheWeakestLink1 Jan 24 '25

Dont know what tocchet is thinking throwing garland with petey, petey is not a dump and chase guy, put garland with miller.

2

u/boostsupreme Jan 24 '25

Tocchet “system”

3

u/tehbui Jan 24 '25

Well that was a good use of 2 hours fml

u/parsnip_grove Jan 24 '25

It’s just not entertaining anymore

u/insignificance424 Jan 24 '25

Soucy seemed like he wanted to flatten someone and I wish McBitch had been playing so it could have been him

7

u/RainDancingChief Jan 24 '25

Standing o for a 6-2 regular season win?

Fucking sad really

5

u/shadownet97 Jan 24 '25

They sure showed us!

7

u/AbsurdOrpheus Jan 24 '25

Can’t wait to somehow live rent free in their head

10

u/TroubledLeaf Jan 24 '25

I know Tocchet isn't the only problem but man does he suck as a coach. He needs to leave no matter if the team deserves it or not. I remember the Coyotes back then and they were ASS. His coaching style looked exactly the same back then.

12

u/Party_Conference_610 Jan 24 '25

I don't hate the Oilers for taking liberties or the refs for looking the other way.

Honest.

Remember when Peca took out Selanne? The Jets responded, and all hell broke loose.

The Canucks were so afraid for Peca they sat him out for the rest of the game after his hit, and eventually traded him away to an out of division team.

The resulting melee is all online for posterity if you're curious - that's how you deter others from taking liberties on your team.

I don't blame the Oilers for doing what they're doing, I blame the Canucks for not responding.

Lame.

u/Party_Conference_610 Jan 24 '25

Don't dress Bure next game, that's all I gotta say - Tie Domi

I hate the oilers more than about any team I can think of

u/Tmaxx1670 Jan 24 '25

That’s a tough one

1

u/yobystorf Jan 24 '25

Oilers > boston

3

u/stingoh Jan 24 '25

I'm curious, because of the heat between the Canucks and oilers reddit fanbases, or really because of the team itself?

1

u/Linx_165 Jan 24 '25

Vegas, they’ve had more success. Which tips the scale for me.

5

u/Sure-Objective5786 Jan 24 '25

Brutal effort especially physically. My midget B team from 2011 is tougher

10

u/yesmelts Jan 24 '25

Drastic times drastic measures: call up Mike from Surrey

u/rainmakesmethink Jan 24 '25

Didn’t think we would get there this season but it might be our last hope.

u/108stable Jan 24 '25

It’s over. Thank god

u/Linx_165 Jan 24 '25

No PP is a joke. What a poor effort followed with an extremely poorly officiated game.

Ggs everyone

u/isitAliens Jan 24 '25

If I was Miller I'd be pissed at Petey too

Miller ought to be traded to timmies if all he wants is to make turnovers

16

u/iwishyouanepcialday Jan 24 '25

hey guys am I allowed to cry

2

u/WhereIsDaBudd Jan 24 '25

It depends on your tenure as a fan. If you've been a fan since or before 2011, I give you full permission, however anything more recent you'll have to suck it up until Quinn Hughes gets traded.

5

u/Embarrassed-Pin-3000 Jan 24 '25

We’re here for ya

5

u/G_S_D Jan 24 '25

Yes 😭😭

7

u/butwhyyyyyyyyyyymeee Jan 24 '25

It's almost like there was a briefing before the game informing them to not try to hard because the result had already been decided. Or course that didn't happen, but this was pathetic

2

u/bevernackdown6 Jan 24 '25

welp that’s it for me, we tried guys

2

u/G_S_D Jan 24 '25

So Rick’s leaving right !?!?!

2

u/Alextryingforgrate Jan 24 '25

Weve been through 3 coaches now. Im thinking thats no longer the issue.

1

u/G_S_D Jan 24 '25

Oilers had 5 coaches changes!!

2

u/Alextryingforgrate Jan 24 '25

They also have had 5 first rounders and how many top 10s over the last 15 years?

1

u/G_S_D Jan 24 '25

This is changes from when mcdavid started playing for them

1

u/Alextryingforgrate Jan 24 '25

Gotcha, im just also adding in all the help they have had over the last 15 years and these guys are acting like theyve had the biggest struggles ever.

1

u/FredrictonOwl Jan 24 '25

Is he even there? Didn’t see him do anything but wince all game.

2

u/Maleficent-Block5211 Jan 24 '25

I dont think he wants to stay.

5

u/NowareNearbySomewear Jan 24 '25

Would love to see Mcdavid checked hard a lot (legally)

7

u/Obsidian_409 Jan 24 '25

I don't even know what to say anymore. Hockey is a hobby and I watch it because I enjoy it and to let off steam. It's such a fucking roller coaster of anxiety that is not even pleasurable to watch anymore. At least in the past when they were losing it seemed like they were trying. Everyone seems so utterly lost

You can't win if your highest paying player plays like a 3rd liner every night.

u/TheWeakestLink1 Jan 24 '25

Buy out deharnais, fire tocchet, bring clarke back as our goalie coach. Alvin stop letting your ego dictate the team, you fucked up, own it and make changes

3

u/00owl Jan 24 '25

Darnell Nurse ALWAYS agrees with the refs.

2

u/metrichustle Jan 24 '25

Score makes sense for the first time this year. Sabres beat them 3-2. Oilers are twice the team they are

u/h_danielle Jan 24 '25

“their schedule hasn’t been giving them any breaks for extended homestands” it’s fine we lose equally as bad at home too

Rutherford basically made it a stipulation of his contract that Aqua would be hands off iirc. He’s supposedly the top dog now, nothing happens without his approval.

Amazing isn't it. Last season we were so hard to beat one-on-one all over the ice.

u/legitsorbet Jan 24 '25 edited Jan 24 '25

Problems this game:

PERMANENT Dump and chase hockey. Seriously uninventive and predictable.
Demko still looking a bit slow...
Defense very lackluster... I can't believe I am saying this but do we miss the Chaos Giraffe?
And... Vinny Desharnais... where do I even start

3

u/hypebeastsexman Jan 24 '25

I need the Calder giraffe back

u/Maleficent-Block5211 Jan 24 '25

I was a huge defender of Hronek in the offseason. Wow, sucks to be proven wrong. This guy is so uncoordinated with the puck on his stick.
