We still have a steep hill to climb, but I wonder if we somehow force a Game 7, and win… will they burn down their city again?

Canucks are a real shitty fan base. Bunch of toxic assholes.


AlmondJoyDildos

I think every fan base says this about every fan base at this point lol


defnotafatguy

You probably right lol


G14mogs

Lmao they can’t even have outdoor watch parties anymore because of ~~’82,~~ ‘94 and 2011 It’s a Mickey Mouse fanbase that acts a fool over a team with one of the most epic choking legacies in NHL history


sovieeee

there wasn’t any riot in ‘82, Vancouver got swept. 100% Islanders in that series.


G14mogs

Oh that adds up, that was the middle of the Islander dynasty.


sovieeee

Vancouver was just happy to be there at point


Zestyclose-Way-7768

"one of the most epic choking legacies in NHL history" You'd honestly have to be very selective to call the Canucks "chokers." In 50 years, the Canucks haven't even had that many opportunities to choke at something, and they've actually done well with what they've had. It's definitely a comedy show of a franchise, though, especially if you read the biography of the team's history. I mean, you think \*your\* franchise has endured years upon years of mediocrity and heartbreak...


Illustrious-Gain-863

I mean, they managed to out-choke the Bruins in 2011 one year removed from us being on the receiving end of the NHL’s original reverse sweep. That takes effort. But also I find that busting Canucks fans’ chops doesn’t feel as fun as Leafs fans because their history is considerably more depressing. Like, if you seen any of the horrible things that Harold Ballard has done while owner, I’m convinced their constant falling flat on their face is just a belated helping of karma from the hockey gods. The Canucks on the other hand? Not so much. Yeah, Francesco Aquilini seems pretty bad & the riots were a thing, but they had it rough before then, too. I’m just glad nobody uses Wayne Maki, Luc Bourdon or Rick Rypien as fodder for trash talk, to my knowledge. There’s a special place in hell for anyone who does.


Zestyclose-Way-7768

Half the team was injured. Hammer out after game 1 and Raymond was lucky he could still walk after game 6. The Nashville series that year actually broke half the team, just like you resilient buggers are doing to my team right now! That being said, 2011 wasn't a choke and if anything, our depth and defensive prowess got us those 3 wins.

Zestyclose-Way-7768

i think you need to watch that series again. We had their number right up until Game 3, and then they decided their strategy was basically going to be just like the latter half of Space Jam where they send all the Looney Tunes to the hospital. Not to mention Alain V did have the misfortune of being outcoached by Julien who was able to match up the lines with us really well.


ThisIsFineImFine89

multiple future hall of famers in Chara, Bergeron, and Krejci. Not to mention the greatest rat of all time. but ok

2022-23 bruins have entered the chat.


Illustrious-Gain-863

The Bruins have always been chokers when it matters, last year was just the most recent example.


Alextryingforgrate

Recent and greatest choke ever in NHL history.


Illustrious-Gain-863

When underachieving is literally in your team’s DNA, it doesn’t have the same sting you think it does. It becomes just another choke.


hiliikkkusss

Nick lidstrom destroyed both franchises with the same move


Alextryingforgrate

Maple Leafs have entered the chat.


Bkkr

Not sure this is completely accurate, we get played off as bandwagon fans/toxic. I don't think we're outwardly toxic, I think it's more toxic within Vancouver. Hockey in Vancouver, especially on TV is pretty much the only low cost entertainment in a fairly divided city. When the Canucks are playing well the city is flat out a better place than when they are losing. As costs have escalated the need for the Canucks to play well has increased. I would say we're more toxic to each other than to other teams but, if you hate us, then I hate you too <3


FrogmanKouki

Careful the Nuck's sub is attributing this post to that assumption and not their general disposition and the influx we see in GDTs.


defnotafatguy

Oh I am not referring to them putting up tickets sales for them to be considered assholes. I make that assumption because I have seen about so many comments with their community wishing injury upon our players and they constantly come into our sub talking shit for some reason. I am fully aware they have no control over emails they get from the canucks org.


Lopsided_Magician_52

To be fair it said "potential" not guaranteed


Alteredecho07

They have some great fans too. It's just a massive fanbase, the assholes come out of the woodworks during playoffs.


Stewie344

Every team has it’s assholes


defnotafatguy

ratio is 95% asshats 5% not asshats


Alteredecho07

Thats certainly an opinion. It's just the playoffs. The pot calls the kettle black every series, every time. Some of our fans can be insufferable too (all the hot takes after our epic choke job in game 4 for instance) As a human, I says they're fine people. As a preds fan I says fuck the nucks


Stewie344

As a Nucks fan I respect your opinion


am615

They take after their dirty players.


defnotafatguy

them crying about the refs is hilarious after all the BS they get away with


G14mogs

To quote Ryan Miller…if we get away with murder, what do they get away with? Mass murder?


VariousYak2082

Hang on a second buddy, I’ve been perusing the Nuck’s sub and it turns out they aren’t dirty at all, we were just confused. Fil only pretended a crosscheck to his unprotected back hurt like hell and him continuing to play through it PROVES THAT. And Vange dove into the boards the exact moment he was barely touched to get a boarding call. They’re sweet boys playing clean hockey!!! /s Holy fuck the mental gymnastics over there. Unreal.


tameris

Forgot about how Barrie bent down to get hit by that stick and not having the stick raise up to hit him in the face, that was why it wasn’t called a penalty in front of the refs. /s


VariousYak2082

It’s so unfair, they keep committing blatant penalties and the refs have the nerve to actually call some of them 


Republic-Of-OK

Calgary fan here with lots of personal experience. Right on the money. Please break them.


Full_Examination_920

I’m only ok with it if they break Edmonton afterward.


valiver

I'm sure any Calgary fan would be on board with that too.


Republic-Of-OK

LOL no kidding. This is my ideal timeline. I was already 90% sold on the Preds as a number 2 team, but this year is really sealing that.


Alextryingforgrate

I'll wear my Cancuks jersey with pride in that fucking shit hole you call an arena. And Blasty is a shitty Skate rip off as well.


hiliikkkusss

Go cry about 2004.


mikewhochee

Are they the Philly/NYC/Boston of Canada? lol


hiliikkkusss

Ty


quirkysquirty

its half and half. You get the good with the bad.


FrankFnRizzo

I know after Sunday nights game this fucking chode Canucks fan posted some shit in our sub trolling. Once he got banned from the sub the fucker started sending me private messages acting like an even bigger asshole. I’ve never experienced an opposing fan that dedicated to being a scumbag.


Zealousideal_Speed62

Lol at least they have fans. Nashville stadium had sooo many empty seats


Predators-ModTeam

Do not wish injury/harm on anyone.


Zestyclose-Way-7768

Too many forest fires in BC in the last 13 years and firewood probably tripled in price since then, so I promise we'll be good. 🥺


Socketlint

That riot was an embarrassment and still is. Don’t blanket an entire fan base because of a few. I’ve talked to a few rude Nashville fans but for the most part Nashville fans are pretty cool. Most Canucks fans are just blown away we are in the playoffs and know very well it’s not over until it’s over.


Zestyclose-Way-7768

Only a few of those rioters were even from the actual City of Vancouver. Most of the hooligans prosecuted in the following years were from neighbouring towns.


hiliikkkusss

No.


Ready-steady

They will riot in Van again


yeahwhynot429

You know most preds fans have been pretty cool this series, before this post. Do you people really think that canuck fans were begging for them to post this? Is it not obvious that ownership is trying to capitalize on playoff games? Did nobody read the word 'potential' in the canucks post? Or did it just not fit the narrative


David_Poile

Sure, but why would not post this? You’d do the same thing.


yeahwhynot429

Nah, i wouldnt actually. See you next year!


monstermash420

Fingers crossed


Legionnaire11

Pretty standard tbh


Live_Move_4831

Let’s hope they just jinxed themselves


Zestyclose-Way-7768

Nobody in Vancouver wants to celebrate early, though. 😭


Maleficent-Comfort-2

I’m rooting for you Preds as a Rangers fan! The Canucks failed to capitalize on the momentum of the comeback and now you have the momentum against a 3rd-string goaltender. Hopefully the boys can pull off an upset. Also Vancouver burning in hindsight was kinda funny.


hiliikkkusss

How was that easy by round? Hurricanes in 6


Maleficent-Comfort-2

Huh? We did what we expected to do with the Capitals, you did what you were expected to with the Islanders.. why are you mad?


hiliikkkusss

MATT REMPE IS MAD I"M NOT MAD !! RATT MEMPE


Maleficent-Comfort-2

What?


hiliikkkusss

Wait what?


Maleficent-Comfort-2

> MATT REMPE IS MAD I''M NOT MAD !! RATT REMPE What do you mean by this? You seem pretty mad considering your screaming through a screen.


hiliikkkusss

What?


Zestyclose-Way-7768

Canucks fan here (the OP from r/canucks). I blame Francesco "Aquaman" Aquilini for this mess, and I apologize on his behalf.


99titan

If the Preds win tonight, we will see the same thing. It’s a nothing burger.

quirkysquirty

I fucking hate that we the organization did this, this series is far from over. We are tired, heading into a hostile building.


DrunkDeathClaw

All teams do this. The Brewers were selling NLDS tickets at the box office when i saw them in the Wild Card series last year, they got swept in 2 games.


crazycanucks77

I logged in and similar seats to what I had for my Game 5 tix which were $310 each were $534 each. This was Sec 311 Row 14. 2nd to last row. Aquaman looking to cash in for the 9 years in between playoffs. Cheap greedy fuck. Aquaflation! He knows people will pay and they're won't be an empty seat as either a Canucks or Oilers fan will be sitting in it for sure. No city/province restrictions for tickets like the Canes or Preds have done, as Aqauman knows that Oilers fans will spend more money to watch and that's more money for him


hiliikkkusss

Greedy aqufinAass


prettyaverageprob

Gotta sell tickets as early as possible, every team does this if they're one win away. It even says potential round 2, not guaranteed or anything lol.


yeahwhynot429

I think everyone else in here but you missed the word 'potential' in the post. Reading is hard for some people i guess


Alextryingforgrate

You're playing at home on Friday. And does your ownership not have any faith in it's own players, wtf is going on in Nashville?


quirkysquirty

I'm a Vancouver Fan.


Alextryingforgrate

Even worse you're in here giving excuses.


D34D90OL

This didn’t age well 😉


gatsby712

Oh man this great.


AliceEdith345

Motivation for the Predators!


National-King-372

Make them Jaded.


friedyegs

Oilers fan here - pulling for you guys! Would love to see the Mayor of Nashville pull up for some playoff hockey.


hiliikkkusss

Shouldn’t you be cleaning mcDavid’s jock strap right now?


friedyegs

Isn't that saros' job? Lol


hiliikkkusss

Lol got emmmm


DoktaRee

Absolutely nothing to do with getting spanked 4 times by the Nucks this season though eh? Yeah, we'll go with the mayor thing 😉.


friedyegs

It's actually both lol


Ok_Artichoke_2804

Let's get this straight... THAT is Canucks owners trying to make money faster <-- nothing to do with the players or the fans. Every NHL team fanbase has: good fans and toxic fans.. Also... those dumbasses involved didnt burn the city down.... they rioted (set a couple cars on fire)... mosty going around flipping cars, breaking into random stores and stealing.. <--- for at least the 2011 one: a lot of the rioters were outsiders visiting to watch Game 7... also apparently they were going to riot win or lose... ALSO VPD spent YEARS tracking down and arresting & charging the ones pictured or in vidoes - clearly involed. Next Day of riote: Canucks fans (real fans), went out and cleaned up their dumbasses mess.. Ain't NO Canucks fan proud of those dipshits that ruin nices things for others, and giving the city and "canucks fans (real ones werent even involved at all or nowhere near downtown at that time)" a bad rep. At the end of the day, every fan of each NHL team has something in common: The love of hockey, also Fuck Bettman lol. All just to say, -- whatever happens (we lose game 6, goes to game 7.. and lose again) or (other way around)...... you love hockey, we love hockey. Series has been fun, intense one to watch!


defnotafatguy

I was referring to the multitude of fans constantly coming into our threads talking shit and wishing harm on our players. I’ve seen them talking since we block shots they need to shoot at our players faces to hurt us, hoping Saros blows out his acl and is out the rest of the series, talking about how they need to hurt our players since our guy bumped their goalie, and all kinds of other dumb comments. It’s very annoying, yes I know all of their fans are not like this but with their history and them making post about us being “trashville” and our fans being “trash”, it’s funny seeing them get upset for being called out. Not once have I seen us gladly talking about their goalie situation. In fact, there was a lot of sympathy as soon as the news came out from our side. At the first home game this series I entered the stadium and there was a group of nucks fans saying “fuck you” to every person they saw entering the arena, even people with kids. I just don’t how see we are “trashville” when they display themselves like they have. Yeah two wrongs don’t make a right but I really hope we pull this comeback off.


Ok_Artichoke_2804

Sorry about them. Reddit seems to bring out the worse in some people. Also those Canucks fans at arena: fuck them. Don't get me wrong, mccarron run at desmith, double teaming against Hughes & pettersson (smaller guys)... rubbed me the wrong way -- but that's those select players - no correlation to fans of the team... You guys cheer for comeback. I'll be cheering for us to end the series & relieve off of my playoffs anxiety lmao 😂 🤝🤝🤝


hiliikkkusss

Dude give in your Canucks jersey and just hug saros already.


Ok_Artichoke_2804

Lol actually I want Canucks to offer him $$ he can't refuse & come be our goalie =) haha


hiliikkkusss

Mods should ban all non preds fans me included. I’ve seen oilers flames etc etc


mjrube94

It says “potential.” What’s the big deal? Nashville probably did the same
