How so?

 

[Zerotonine]

How so?

Seen a bunch of posts already. But your right I should of replied to atleast one of the posts that brought it up. That's on me

 

[Video Nasty]

What happened to having faith in your team?

I don’t have faith in management or the people they put in net. That hasn’t changed in years.

Let’s do this vancouver!

Canucks fans continue to be the most insecure fanbase in the NHL.

I must have missed them then.
I’ve seen lots of complaining from both sides.

It would be hilarious if Vancouver wins tonight in 6 and not one of those predictions are right.

 

[theMajor]

Yall laughing that Skinner is starting are going to be served a warm slice of humble pie later tonight

cant wait !!!

24 ‘hockey experts’ all wrong. At least one guy picked the Canucks though.
And why the hell are they asking Messier?

Are you seriously taking jokes seriously?

Unless it involves Kelly Sutherland, of course.

It's ESPN predicting hockey, I'm more impressed they had the correct teams in the poll.

It was probably in Messier's contract.

 

[Jack Burton]

"So are the Oilers going to win tonight?"

No doubt about it...all the pressure is on Edmonton tonight.

I’m impressed they knew what sport they were picking teams for

Yes but he was such an elite captain for both teams. Must have been tough to choose .

 

[Dust]

I bet he made more money in his short time in Van City

One of the only Albertans who can claim BC paid more

I think people are allowed to roast ESPN for 1/25 picking the Canucks when more picked the Kings to beat Edmonton.

His choice was probably also in his contract.

In a vacuum sure, this is hardly the only instance of Vancouver fans doing something along these lines. It's been this way since 2010, most recently this season.

Everyone knows ESPN has no idea what they're talking about

We have been shit on and doubted all year. We have a chip on our shoulders .

Predicted to be at the bottom of the division to start the season .
Predicted to be unsustainable and will fall off as the season goes.
Predicted to be the most likely team to be upset in the 1st round
Predicted to get stomped out in 4-5 games by the Oilers.
IF WE WIN and go to the next round everyone is predicting us to get destroyed by the Stars.

Not sure I'd call us insecure but we certainly are proving the haters wrong and throwing it in their faces.

Eh, I think most Canucks fans wouldn't be acting the way they are if they were playing any team other than Edmonton, most were just happy to be here in the Preds series.

Oiler fans were enemy #1 for coming into every Canuck related thread, or mainboard GDT to talk about how the Canucks are frauds, PDO, they'll never win the division, they'll lose in r1, the Oilers will get revenge etc.

I also think it's pretty normal for fans of a breakout team to want to be taken seriously. It's also normal for others to be skeptical, but Oilers were by far the worst, and downright delusional at times.

The aim for tonight isn’t to win the game.

The aim is to compete, to minimize the damage on the PK ( the refs will call a ridiculous amount of penalties against the Canucks) and to shoot on skinner every chance they get.

Losing the game just means it's a best of 1 Game 7 at home, great place to be for the underdog.

Winning would just be gravy.

Spoken like a true winner.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

If Skinner is in net tonight, then either Knoblauch is not really in charge or he's totally nuts.
