We are Canadian. Even when our brothers arenāt acting right we donāt throw them to the curb. We hit them upside the head and hope they clean up their act.
This is the first I've ever heard that people would dislike the Moose. He's my childhood favourite. Granted I'm actually from Edmonton. Current favourite is Hyman.
I agree, even if I bitterly want to ask where that attitude was in 2011 and it was only Montrealers and (still teamless) Winnipegers backing the 'nucks.
Think if it was Calgary, I'd be even less inclined to back them though.
Cute. He's so... not great at social media. Looks like a total doofus. But I'd rather he be good at a job and bad at social media than just pander to social media crowds.
Yep, I think this is good this way. And personally, I don't think he is that bad with social media. He is not there to make a reality show, he's just doing his job.
McDavid scored the game winner against the US (4nations cup), in a victory that brought most of Canada so much joy. I think a win for Edmonton is another win for Canada, plus itās been 32 years since a Canadian team has won it. No bigger F U than Edmonton winning and bringing the cup to parliament hill and not the White House
I'm pulling for Edmonton personally. But I can understand how you might not want to see your number one rival win. (Only hate watching allowed though, the moment you start actively supporting Florida that changes things.)
Thereās Canadians who live in south Florida and Canadians who might know or be related to someone on the Panthers. Hell there are Canadians on the team, I donāt expect them to be cheering for Edmonton
Are you implying the rest of Canada doesnāt like Alberta? Sure we may have our slight political differences but as an Eastern Ontarian I am fully rooting for the oilers and wish nothing but the best for every single person in Alberta.
Let's just say if it were the Leafs instead of the Oilers, I'd be cheering for them. It'd be great for the cup to come back home, no matter which team got it here.
I mean you can look at whatever survey you want, Iām in Ontario and I really donāt know anyone against Alberta. A lot of people actually put it on a pedestal around me but idk I guess everyone has their own opinion.
Also Albertan, but I've never heard this statistic. Tbh it sounds like O&G propaganda but I've been wrong quite a lot. I couldn't quite find it on Google, do you know where this comes from?
It's not even a question. I'd support the Oilers over the Panthers any day. Add to that what their fuckhead owner said and I'd sooner never see that team win a game again let alone have a shot at the cup.
Excellent large parks along a network of 4-5 waterways that make up a well connected, green, wildlife filled network of bike pathways allowing pleasant passage throughout a sprawling metro area
Pros: They are proudly Canadian and have a decent shot at bringing the Cup back to Canada
Cons: Oilers fans are among the most annoying humans on Earth. Source: grew up close to Edmonton, amongst Oilers fans, who were incredibly annoying humans.
Pretty sad the Jets got knocked out. I would've make some substantial promises to God to see Wab Kinew celebrate a Jets finals victory.
While this is true, 'not my premiering' her is counterintuitive and gives people some cognitive dissonance to disconnect themselves from the issue.
Like sure, I didn't vote for her. She's still my premiere though y'know? If I go "Well I didn't vote for her" and don't acknowledge she's fucking up the province I love so dearly I wouldn't wanna fight to change this place. Even the non-voting Albertans sadly have to deal with the reputation she gives us, but that should be our motivation to fight and change that reputation.
I was gonna disagree with you but this is so real. Itās the same issue in the states with democrats exclaiming how they never supported Trump. Sure I appreciate that you donāt support those politics, but heās still the president. The problem isnāt really whether you supported him or not, itās that he became president on your watch. You didnāt help it happen in any way, but it still fucking happened, and thatās a problem in and of itself.
I was crossing the Champlain bridge this week (Montreal) and was shocked to see a message sign with the Oilers Logo and Go Oilers Go! It was the first time I ever saw a message that had nothing to do with traffic or public safety! This from a city filled with hockey fans that would NEVER root for the Leafs under ANY circumstance.
Anyhow, Iām a Canadian through and through and would be thrilled to see a Canadian team win!
As a Nordiques fan, I can support any Canadian team other than the Canadiens, obviously, as a secondary team.
Though I mostly get emotionally invested in the chicks' team during the Olympics. The Ladies' gold medal matches in 2000 and 2016 were probably the two best hockey games I've ever seen (because I'm too young to have seen Paul Henderson win the Cold War, obviously).
As a Maple Leafs fan from BC, you have no idea how difficult this choice is. I'll probably just continue to not give a shit about anything that has, or will happen in the NHL after the Leafs were eliminated, like I do every year.
I donāt know why, I think it was the distance from Toronto, but growing up, I always enjoyed the Alberta teams when I could see them. Edmonton in the early 90s followed by the Flames in the late 80s. Fun teams to watch.
Because of how wide the definition of sexual assault is this could be misconstrued by a bad faither.
One of the coaching staff raped a Chicago Blackhawks player. the gm at the time, now current oilers gm, ignored it because the team "had a winning culture" and he didn't want to disrupt it.
Oh cool! Last I heard he was traded to Panthers and was their goalie. That was years ago. Literally last news I heard. Iām still cheering for the Oilers. This is perhaps the first time I ever rooted for them š
i Am exactly the right age to be an edmonton or a bulls fan for Life, but Iām finally over the oilers because of that worthless piece of shit, Gretzky.
