Bad losers, worse winners

[SidelineCameras]

One amusing thing about the Canucks is they recently stopped celebrating goals because they're waiting to celebrate the big one at the end of the year. The 5 guys on the ice celebrate, but they scrapped the high five line through the bench that every other team does. It's cute.

I wonder if they keep this up throughout the playoffs. Are the players on the bench allowed to jump and cheer? Every playoff goal is such a tension release, I can just see these guys winding themselves tighter and tighter as they feel they can't celebrate. I don't get it.

With any luck that scenario would play out like a cronenberg movie.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Kesler better be getting some time off via Shanny.

Nope. Shanahan continues to disappoint.

wahhhhh

Alain Vigneault met with reporters before Thursday night's game in Dallas to provide an update on injured forward Daniel Sedin. And without actually naming referee Dan O'Halloran, the Canuck coach clearly indicated he wasn't happy with the official's work.
"We got a big two-minute power play off that hit from the same referee — remember last year when Daniel got punched six times in the face in the Boston series?" Vigneault said. "I seem to remember it was the same guy."

Going to be so awesome when they get eliminated this year. And every year.

 

[kenneycb]

Maybe they would've gotten something more if his team decided to show up and weren't getting blown out of the barn in the third period. It's not your fault. It's not your fault (if only O'Halloran called that penalty). It's not your fault (if only Luongo had some mental toughness). It's not your fault (if only you showed up in the biggest game of your life)...

18:29 Brad Marchand: 2 Minutes for Roughing Daniel Sedin (Served by David Krejci) 18:29 Brad Marchand: 10 Minute Misconduct

What the fuck is he bitching about again? Don't let the facts get in the way of a sandy kooch Alain.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

He would have the ref administer Vancouver Justice:

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

I hope Henrique has a headache from seeing his bitch brother getting his clock cleaned. Fuck that organization, fuck that team, fuck their fans. I want nothing but bad things happen to them. They are the absolute WORST.

Not PC? Whatever.

No but I do remember the Bruins winning the cup since your sorry ass team has no balls. I also remember the cheap hits on our players too. Why the fuck is this guy still bitching about last year?

Because it's all he has, and he figured out he has the League's ear.

Because he knows his bitching got Marchand suspended, and had the refs would so tightly for the Bruins game that they shit diamonds. The league and officials have given him every incentive in the world to bitch.

 

[Blacken]

You know, Myt1, when I read your posts about the Canucks I wish you'd find and use Haunted's old avatar. It's so goddamn perfect.

Such an angry, angry baby... :smith:

That video would be awesome if they could actually beat anyone.

 

[Maurice09]

Wow. Everyone knows when he encountered the bear, he would have played dead and after the bear walked away, he'd shoot him in the back.

Their fanbase has that and we have the Bear and the Gang. Just not fair.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

That video would be awesome if they could actually beat anyone.

The "epic" ad campaign can be really good, but when it's done like this without a lick of irony it's like...chill the fuck out Vancouver. Johnny Canuck could be awesome if he were a little more like John Jameson, because as it stands now he just looks like an emo-logger douchebag.

 

[FL4WL3SS]

A little self-deprecation would have gone a long way. If Johnny Canuck bit the Bruin, that would have been hilarious.

 

[TheRealness]

God, I love this emoticon so very very much.

Yup or 5 of his brothers jumping the bear at the once.

Me too.

 

[Haunted]

God, I love this emoticon so very very much.

It really does capture exactly what I wanted to say upon watching that.

 

[NickEsasky]

That video is awesome in all the opposite ways that the Bear and the Gang is awesome.

 

[TheRealness]

I had clicked on this thread, and then had to take a call for a while and then came back to it. For some reason, I thought I was in the video thread in P&G, and had no clue it was Canucks related until the Red Wings motorcycle guy.

Holeeeefuckingshit. They take themselves WAY too fucking seriously in BC, eh?

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Not surprisingly, comments have been disabled on that video.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

The arrogant "To Be Continued" at the end is gonna be a painful little reminder after tomorrow night.

Yeah, and the main character's glory is beating the team that mauled them last summer and stopping a 23-game home win streak. I mean, talk about setting the bar low for a President's Trophy winning team. Why don't you point out how you beat the Jets too, while you're at it? Wait, I think they covered that too.

Holy shit, there are two more...

 

[Gammon_Clark]

The first video posted was pretty dumb. I'm not going to lie though, the second video was better if you're a Canucks fan, and as a Bruins fan 3/4 of the third video is about how we ruined their life - and I'm okay with that.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Because why not?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

It doesn't help that Johnny Canuck runs like a doofus.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The unintentional irony is off the charts.

to be fair the to be continued ends in a question mark. from all the comments here I expected them to be a lot worse than they were...kind of reminded me of the max payne video games.

 

[Leather]

Jesus.

Canadians...sheesh.

 

[SidelineCameras]

"After the loss, I could have taken in bad, and lashed out...at the world! But that's not who I am."

"Instead, I lashed out at my own city, breaking windows, looting, and burning cars. I'm....JOHNNY CANUCK."

 

[McDrew]

I wanted to wait to post this until later, but its just too good.

 

[ajml]

My god... Since the Kings are already trolling Vancouver they should play that entire thing right before tonight's game on jumbotron.

Rexicon is apt - President's Trophy is the new AFC Championship Game appearance.

 

[TheRealness]

!

 

[SoxFanInCali]

...so let's win 16 games cause 15's not enough.

They're on the verge of not winning 16 playoff games in the last 2 seasons combined.

 

[Leather]

boo.

 

[reggiecleveland]

Jesus.

Canadians...sheesh.

Hey don't put all of us in that. Most of Canada loves to see Van lose.

 

[Ed Hillel]

10 minutes left in the third, and Vancouver players have now intentionally knocked Quick's stick out of his hands four times. Four!

Fucking clowns.

 

[Spaulding Smails]

I want to the know what the staffing situation is for the VPD.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Today, we can take solace in the fact that they are just plain losers.
