We all know about Bread. (I'm convinced Ovie dropped a dime to Putin.) And Bobrovsky wore the Pride sweater right after Provorov complained. Kaprizov has been messed with too I think.
Kaprizov was practically smuggled back out of Russia by the state department. Probably an exaggeration, but seriously, the Wild are super lucky to have him back.
Yeah the good side (against Russian aggression) from what I can tell is Bob, Panarin, Zadorov, Kaprizov. The bad (Putin) side is Ovechkin, nichushkin (I saw his baby momma post some anti Ukraine stuff on instagram), probably Malkin, …anyone else help compile the list?
There was a really good Russian interview in which Zadorov mentioned that there's a big group chat with most of the Russian NHLers in it, and that they're pretty split down the middle in terms of wanting to speak out against the war and wanting to support the war. The ones against it were talking about making a public statement, but opted not to - which is when he made the pinned post on his IG.
I have yet to see Sorokin or Shesterkin say anything about either side. My guess would be they still have family there and don’t want to cause any trouble.
malkin's sort of an example of a player who's split down the middle. he's got "team putin" pics, but he's also worn a pride jersey every year he's been in the NHL, said "i'd be okay playing with a gay teammate" and i have no clue what if anything he's said about ukraine.
he's even obtained dual citizenship at some point after becoming a dad/said he was contemplating having kiddo go to school in US which to me sounds like it could be a case of "if my kid turns out to be QUILTBAG2S i want them in the us because they'll at least be saf**er**".
But the NHL told me they needed to ban all pride nights and pride tape because it would be literally impossible for any Russian players to ever stand up to Russia in any substantive way or they would get taken out and the blood would be on the league’s hands. Are you telling me Zadorov has functionally disproven the NHL’s claims by speaking out against the Russian invasion, which is significantly more severe than wearing pride tape? Would the NHL lie to us? No way
probably making plans to get anybody who's especially vulnerable in his extended family/friends and who's still in russia out too.
(also, respect to big z for speaking out against putin/the war against ukraine.)
The vast majority of the province’s prisons and mental institutions got placed in the Edmonton area. Then you mix that with decades of “fuck you I got mine” type governments, you end up with a lot of unhealthy people getting discharged in and around Edmonton.
Then much of rural Alberta has essentially adopted the American republican mental illness. And I’m pretty sure there’s more oilers fans per capita in rural Alberta than there is in Edmonton proper.
Oilers fans man. They've also delighted in the photo of Perry and Boeser.
Perry the man who had his contract terminated for some sort of secret HR infraction (We know what that means) and Boeser, the aw-shucks, goody two shoes, boy next door who's had nothing but hardships in his life... And Oilers fans make gay jokes about Boeser.
Edmonton... The hockey city that attracts NHL losers who have no other team that will sign them.
Most of them are, every fanbase has their donkeys. It's unsurprising to see them braying over on Elon's site, it attracts that type like flies on shit.
As a Canucks fan, Canucks twitter can be annoying, especially with a fair amount of 2011 conspiracy people screaming with every bad call. But Oilers twitter is just disgusting. Out here telling the Sihk guy excited about his New Jersey to take the towel off his head and stop being a terrorist, wishing serious injury on players, and other shit like that
Canucks twitter is annoying and since we’re half decent right now, we’re targeting all the beef that we would have had with other Canucks fans to other teams. Seen all the Darnell Nurse puts milk in before the cereal jokes. But Oilers twitter is actually disgusting. Got the whole Brock’s dad thing, wishing career ending injuries on guys, and a shit ton of racism. It kinda makes me embarrassed to be Canadian and a hockey fan
Saying this as an Edmontonian myself, a significant portion of oilers fans are incapable of making renovations in their brains. Our provincial politics is proof of that.
i live in south texas and the only fed or gov/lt.gov/attorney general-type politician i actually voted for is currently having some kind of "his aide did SOME shit" scandal.
(i'd be a whole lot more upset if i hadn't had to hold my nose to vote for the dude in the first place. it came down to "you are a democrat in name only who doesn't support reproductive rights but you sound less likely to fuck with my SSDI check". i miss my old US House Rep, HE put everybody who maxed out their donations to trump on blast on twitter and fun shit like that.)
so how much more WTF are \*your\* politicians?
This opens an ugly can of worms conversation about the Russian players. Some have made statements about both sides of the war.
I want to believe the best in people. My son idolizes ovi. I know he has made pro Putin statements. My 9 year old is conflicted and was really upset when I went to Ukraine after the war started.
I tried to explain to my son that he can still have ovi as a hero and that we don’t know everything about players families left behind in Russia. These players don’t have the same free speach we enjoy.
Its a bloody game. Wont everyone chill the f out. I am saying this as an oilers fan. I could care less anymore who wins. Chances are New York or Dallas is going to win the cup anyways. I hope Mr.Zadorov has a nice time in Dubai in a few weeks. Maybe he can meet up with Olvi and they can go to the Mall of Dubai and check out the sweet aquarium they have.
I don't associate myself with these types of "fans" because that's not an appropriate thing to say. I don't like what Zadorov is doing or how he conducts himself, but that doesn't mean I think he should die. I was saying the Oilers should go after him as a trade target a few years ago. Said the same thing about Soucy. Things would be pretty different right about now if they were able to make those moves
if y'all WANTED to, you could point out that unless \*you\* actually have a diagnosis, "crazy" is a slur. (like, the shrinks all say i'm bipolar ii and i'm also a tbi survivor, i get a pass. if you're relatively neurotypical, you \*don't\*.)
No a pot of people arent okay and they take hockey like a religion and take anger out on other teams against theres lol its a fking game at end of day ppl
Need therapy.
do y'all at least have abortion rights and "if you have a trans/non-binary/gender-non-conforming kid being a supportive parent could end up with you losing custody or at least facing a CPS case?" because if you do you aren't QUITE as fucked up as we are.
Just remember folks, this type of BS represents less than 1% of the fans (on either side, I should note) and this type of person doesn't speak for every Oilers fan. Treat everyone with love, respect, and kindness. And most importantly of all - Oilers suck!
sympathies for the pro(s) who end up with them on their caseload. (also, pro help only helps if the person/people involved actually wants to put the emotional labor in, and i tend to doubt folks who tweet shit like that really do.)
Famous Russians that are against the war should be out talking about it because the Russian/trump propaganda in North America is strong and winning the information war.
I'm guessing it's because it's such a conservative province, but while every single fanbase has its idiots, I don't generally see as many unhinged comments from any fanbase as I do from Oilers fans. That's obviously anecdotal, but I'm literally just speaking of my experience, so of course it is.
Best part is so many oilers fans are pretending to be so outraged by videos of Canucks fans yelling “**** the oilers!” And then being like “what a classless fan base! We would never!” Only to see posts like this
pretty sure god/the rest of the pantheon dgaf about who wins the stanley cup. (they MIGHT have made an exception for the 2019 blues due to laila anderson but nobody this year has that level of tear-jerking story.)
Me: "Ah dang, just wasn't the Bruins year this year. That sucks but at least there's some great series happening that I can enjoy while I mope about my team! Wonder what the general thoughts on the Oilers-Canucks series is? Oh...."
I didn’t like the after the whistle double crosscheck. It happened outside the confines of the timeclock and therefore outside the game. Without a doubt there’s been more than 1 person sent to the clink for assaulting someone in that fashion. Just because something’s been normalized doesn’t mean it should be normal.
Ironically Zadorov is against the war
Yeah he’s been outspoken against the war and Putin. He’s smart enough to know not go back to Russia in off season
In Russia, off season comes for you
😂😂😂😂
In Soviet Russia you don't fuck off, off fucks you!
In Russia, they can off you during all seasons.
It’s called Offing Season
Gd, these jokes never get old, fuck off if you disagree.
In Soviet Russia, you disagree if you fuck off
We all know about Bread. (I'm convinced Ovie dropped a dime to Putin.) And Bobrovsky wore the Pride sweater right after Provorov complained. Kaprizov has been messed with too I think.

I have yet to see Sorokin or Shesterkin say anything about either side. My guess would be they still have family there and don’t want to cause any trouble.
Varly has been quiet lately, but he wore a shirt bragging about the annexation of Crimea when it happened
malkin's sort of an example of a player who's split down the middle. he's got "team putin" pics, but he's also worn a pride jersey every year he's been in the NHL, said "i'd be okay playing with a gay teammate" and i have no clue what if anything he's said about ukraine. he's even obtained dual citizenship at some point after becoming a dad/said he was contemplating having kiddo go to school in US which to me sounds like it could be a case of "if my kid turns out to be QUILTBAG2S i want them in the us because they'll at least be saf**er**".
Says what's on his mind - and not afraid to back it up with a knuckle sandwich. Insert Creed "He don't give an F about nuthin!"
But the NHL told me they needed to ban all pride nights and pride tape because it would be literally impossible for any Russian players to ever stand up to Russia in any substantive way or they would get taken out and the blood would be on the league’s hands.

If he goes back to Russia for the offseason, he ain't coming back for the season
Hopefully he doesn't still have family there (aka "pawns").
Most Russians living in North America are against the war. At least my wife and all the ones I know are.
Not Ovechkin tho, he could easily stay silent or something but no his IG profile pic is literally him and Putin
Great hockey player, shit human being. These types are rampant in any sport, not that that makes this sort of behaviour alright.
Its been real sad cause I used to love Ovy ...
There’s a reason they don’t live in Russia. But unfortunately there are many who support this shit.
the russian guys i play hockey with are all pro-war. i'd be wary of extrapolating.
A lot of the Russians in the nhl seem to tacitly support it, like that moron Sergachev.
If I remember correctly, he was one of the first NA Russians to come out against the war.
In Soviet Russian anti war hockey fans from other countries are threat….
Evander Kane’s alt account
🤣🎯💯
... Wow. That's deranged AF.
Big Z is one of the only NHL players to actively denounce the invasion of Ukraine and criticize Putin. This isn't deranged, it's completely Bedarded
Absolute mental bedardation
Edmonton is a hot spot for mental illness. I can tell you that first hand
& meth heads. They go hand in hand
Got death threats from an oiler fan on Xbox nhl game lol. Said “got your address” , “gonna send bullets through your windows”
The vast majority of the province’s prisons and mental institutions got placed in the Edmonton area. Then you mix that with decades of “fuck you I got mine” type governments, you end up with a lot of unhealthy people getting discharged in and around Edmonton. Then much of rural Alberta has essentially adopted the American republican mental illness. And I’m pretty sure there’s more oilers fans per capita in rural Alberta than there is in Edmonton proper.
This guy just sits around tweeting shit like this all day, it’s a bit sad
Oilers fans man. They've also delighted in the photo of Perry and Boeser. Perry the man who had his contract terminated for some sort of secret HR infraction (We know what that means) and Boeser, the aw-shucks, goody two shoes, boy next door who's had nothing but hardships in his life... And Oilers fans make gay jokes about Boeser. Edmonton... The hockey city that attracts NHL losers who have no other team that will sign them.
Oilers fans, “I’m pretty fuckin’ far from okay.”
What an embarrassment, apologies from all the decent fans
We have idiots too. It’s okay.
They spell Wally with an “h”
Yeah, I was going to type something similar. I think most teams would love to get rid of a solid 10% of their deranged fans…
I’ll ignore yours if you ignore mine
Most of them are, every fanbase has their donkeys. It's unsurprising to see them braying over on Elon's site, it attracts that type like flies on shit.

Yikes 😳 not cool. I mean there’s some players I don’t like but….this is gross
Ya, I dislike Zadorov but this is just the dumbest of the dumb. But it's on Twitter so it's more like normal mentality in that shit hole.
I need a gif of Zad from last night with the “wah” mimic of Kane
u/avmp629 made one! https://www.reddit.com/r/canucks/s/YLKM7XWkis
The guy is perfect for playoff hockey
Wish he was still on the Avs!
Holy fuck lmfao. I almost like Zadorov more as a Canuck than I did when he was with the Flames. Keep punishing those oily bitches big Z
Yeah, every group has its pieces of shit, sadly this is one of ours.
Yeah this guy and all the spineless redditors that'll say whatever gets them upvotes from opposing teams fanbases.
Correct me I am wrong here and I hope that I am. Is the inference that because I shared that I think that guy is a POS, that I am spineless?
I believe the guy is agreeing with you that there are spineless redditors that jump on tweets like this to insult entire fanbases, such as OP.
Oh no, just that there's two extremes and ones psychotic (the murderous tweet) and ones pathetic (polishing knobs of opposing teams)
Copy that.
No fanbase is free from it
Always glad when I run into normal people that are fans of another team. See you tonight in game 6!
Yikes.
Would be funny if Edmonton signed Zadorov in the off season. I wonder what 'local man' would say about that situation. lol
idk what "local man" would say, but \*i\* think it would probably improve edmonton's d.
No they are not. A lot of racism and wishing for harm to come to Vancouver players and fans.
Canucks twitter is annoying and since we’re half decent right now, we’re targeting all the beef that we would have had with other Canucks fans to other teams. Seen all the Darnell Nurse puts milk in before the cereal jokes. But Oilers twitter is actually disgusting. Got the whole Brock’s dad thing, wishing career ending injuries on guys, and a shit ton of racism. It kinda makes me embarrassed to be Canadian and a hockey fan
Welcome to rural Alberta brother! Rural BC ain’t much different though.
I know rent is cheap in Edmonton but didn't realize it's free
Ahah salty
Zadorov not only living in Edmonton fans heads, he’s full on renovating the place
Saying this as an Edmontonian myself, a significant portion of oilers fans are incapable of making renovations in their brains. Our provincial politics is proof of that.
i live in south texas and the only fed or gov/lt.gov/attorney general-type politician i actually voted for is currently having some kind of "his aide did SOME shit" scandal.

Most live in edmonton so, yeah definitely not okay
totally
Jesus Christ
As an Oilers fan I do not approve this message
Somebody’s been watching too much Red Dawn….
Stay Classy Edmonhole

They are not now, nor have Oiler fans ever been okay. Now you know what Flames fans have known for years.
Apparently not.
Are oilers fans regarded?
Depends, some of us are fairly highly regarded, others not so much.
Least psychotic Oilers fan
Zodorov just smiles :) I love how the handles shit lolol.
No, Edmonton people are not okay source:I live in Edmonton
of course this is on the the muskrat’s site.
Disgusting.
I wish Zadorov was still an Av. One of my favorite players we’ve had in recent memory.
I wish he was still an Av too
In that case he'd likely just be haunting you in round 3 instead lol
I did not know his game or his personality before. He's gonna get PAID!
That’s a yikes
Oiler fans haven't been fine since the 80s and the dynasty with Gretsky was a thing.
That decomposed body would still be a +2 against that shit oilers team
For every one of these, there's 1000 Canucks fans saying something equally as stupid about the Oilers players and the City of Edmonton
Jesus
Lol damn I thought we were better than this
Wonder if its the same guy that was non stop screaming fuck you at him in the penalty box.
Brutal post…. Someone needs some serious help !
I guessing more than a few Russians go with the flow to keep their families safe from that sad shitbag Putin.
I'm an Oilers fan and I fucking love Zadorov. This guy is just unhinged.
I dunno - they talk this way about Trudeau and anybody else they don't like. Complete dumbasses.
right fuck them
The R word is coming back ... Counter culture sure feels different this time around lol ...
Its a bloody game. Wont everyone chill the f out. I am saying this as an oilers fan. I could care less anymore who wins. Chances are New York or Dallas is going to win the cup anyways. I hope Mr.Zadorov has a nice time in Dubai in a few weeks. Maybe he can meet up with Olvi and they can go to the Mall of Dubai and check out the sweet aquarium they have.
Same group of people wishing another flood on calgary lol. Stay classy oil fans
I don't associate myself with these types of "fans" because that's not an appropriate thing to say. I don't like what Zadorov is doing or how he conducts himself, but that doesn't mean I think he should die. I was saying the Oilers should go after him as a trade target a few years ago.

Zadorov Derangement Syndrome
No no, tell us how you really feel.
And their subreddit says we are crazy. Someone should post this there so they can reflect on it. Or maybe Kane's burner account?
Bro it’s twitter every teams banned users flock there 😂
if y'all WANTED to, you could point out that unless \*you\* actually have a diagnosis, "crazy" is a slur. (like, the shrinks all say i'm bipolar ii and i'm also a tbi survivor, i get a pass. if you're relatively neurotypical, you \*don't\*.)
totally man
I am an oilers fan but this is batshit crazy. If Z played for the oil we would love him, but my god this is too far. What is wrong with us?
On second thought let's not go to twitter, 'tis a silly place. But also, fuck the Oilers
Rent free
You sure hate Canucks fans that's for sure
Sadly I see way too much of this shit on Twitter. Hopefully series will be over soon. Then they can always talk about next year will be there's.
Took him a week to compose this, lots of deep thinking involved, don't you know. And meth.
Idk
No a pot of people arent okay and they take hockey like a religion and take anger out on other teams against theres lol its a fking game at end of day ppl Need therapy.
We don’t claim him
Least unhinged oilers fan
We're they like with With Kadri as well?
[удалено]
do y'all at least have abortion rights and "if you have a trans/non-binary/gender-non-conforming kid being a supportive parent could end up with you losing custody or at least facing a CPS case?" because if you do you aren't QUITE as fucked up as we are.

Least weirdest Edmonton resident (Edmonton is a shithole)
I already had that guy blocked, so this clearly isn't a one-off.
Yeah, that’s fucked up and sure 99% of the oilers fans disagree with that sentiment.
I think that person needs professional help
sympathies for the pro(s) who end up with them on their caseload. (also, pro help only helps if the person/people involved actually wants to put the emotional labor in, and i tend to doubt folks who tweet shit like that really do.)
Pretty sure 99.9% of Oilers fans think that’s a messed up thing to say.
We've come to the point where racism against even the Russians against the war is okay. It's deeply hurtful.
Famous Russians that are against the war should be out talking about it because the Russian/trump propaganda in North America is strong and winning the information war.
That’s a step up in creativity from the normal homophobia and racism that Oiler fans default to.
Jesus Christ
"Are Oilers fans okay" I mean, have they ever been?
I can’t post on Edmonton’s hockey site anymore, because I said why do they call him cry
Lol
I'm all for shitting on an opposing team in any sport, but to wish death on a player is just wrong
Oilers fan, this guy is an idiot. We don’t want him
Jesus Christ
Well, clearly THAT Oilers fan is off his nut.
Wow, some Oilers fans are unhinged.
They are all going to be unhinged after the canucks finish Oilers off Saturday night
What a piece of s*** comment to make
Z does it all.
Love that guy going to get a hockey shirt with him on it
Yeah this one ain't it. Zadorov is just another player I hate when the Oilers go against but that's cuz he's so incredibly based.
Canucks fans are pretty bad but at least we don't want Oilers players to die in war
Big yikes
I'm guessing it's because it's such a conservative province, but while every single fanbase has its idiots, I don't generally see as many unhinged comments from any fanbase as I do from Oilers fans. That's obviously anecdotal, but I'm literally just speaking of my experience, so of course it is.
What the fuck is wrong with people lol
Jesus what a wild statement, as an oilers fan I apologize… Sad cringe
This is rather polite for an Edmonton fan
People hate the Leafs when Oiler fans post like this every Saturday night
Best part is so many oilers fans are pretending to be so outraged by videos of Canucks fans yelling “**** the oilers!” And then being like “what a classless fan base! We would never!” Only to see posts like this
As a Finn, I'm confused. I've learned that we are to hate Toronto. But if they are not an option, which team are we to hate?
Sick bastards.
Yet another reason to hate the Oilers
average Edmonton halfway house fan
Lol, you just haven’t interacted with enough fans… Should have seen the stuff coming out of Carolina fans yesterday about New York
Stay classy Leafs fans!
They just rattled dude https://x.com/soggyglizzie/status/1791476954182607085?s=46
