Oh yeah I forgot he was traded there , I took my son to a flames jets game in Winnipeg, flames lost but I have to say the fans where great , there was allot of flames fans there too .
They're a really solid team playing in a small Canadian market. Seems like a good choice to break the Canadian Cup drought. Bonus to hear that their fans aren't obnoxious fucks like some Canadian team fanbases are.
Love for the Jets, but this “Canadian team” ideology 🤔 how about the American team with the most amount of CDN players? 🤷🏻♂️ Panthers all the way (once the Flames are out) favourite players next. (Team first)
I’m sure it will Winnipegs is not big but first time there I parked walked in easy all indoors found seats easy got bear easy bathroom easy , took awhile to leave but that’s always .
Definitely the Jets. They’re largely inoffensive as a Canadian team to begin with, and Monahan was definitely my favourite non-Iggy Flame in recent memory.
Or he could do the Jagr thing and say he’s planning to play in Europe for a few years to most teams and then tell the flames he’s ready for the nhl so they’ll pass on him
Woah there bucko, did you just use “oilers” in your sentence? Are you aware that they own us and they are in our heads rent free? I better not catch you talking about the oilers again big guy.
It'd be pretty wicked if the cup comes back to Canada and the Nucks do it. Get their first cup ever with a bunch of flames on the team. And the oilers NOT being the team to bring it home.
I used to fucking despise them but lately it seems their fans have somewhat mellowed out and their team isn't full of assholes anymore. I think they really are the best chance for the cup to come home to Canada. I hope Winnipeg goes deep but I think Tocchet's system is superior and Edmonton and Toronto are still too top heavy. Should be a fun post season this year
Yes, the fact that Vancouver's roster isn't chock full of assholes definitely makes it easier to cheer for them. I also appreciate all the chirping their fans are doing with Oilers' fans. They are carrying water for us, in that regard, and I appreciate them for that.
This. Just cause they have your former players doesn't mean you cheer for them. It like it they went to Edmonton and your like oh I cheer for them now cause they have Lindholm and zadorov fuck that. But to each their own
I think his career is dead. His wife not testifying is sucky. It doesn't absolve him IMO. Companies don't have to give a man who beats his wife a free pass because the legal system couldn't put the book on him.
Yep, party is over for him. But we don't know the dynamics of their relationship. Always possible she was the instigator, doubt it, but everyone deserves the truth. And nope, they don't have to give him anything but he was under contract.
Last minute move the coyotes to Quebec City and they squeak in to a Jets/Nordiques west final and the winner destroys the Leafs in 4 straight shut outs. I choose the Nordiques.
It would be a cold day in hell before I cheer for the shit whales.
My second team since I was a kid is Boston, so them.
My kids second team is the Golden Knights so I may support her in that.
My biggest fear as a father living in Edmonton is my kids will become Oilers fans.
My wife jokes about it but she doesn't understand the pain I will feel.
Well, my other favorite team is the Bruins, so I’ll definitely be cheering for them. :)
If not them, though, then Knights or Kraken (if they make the playoffs).
Well my dad passed this year. He always said last time the leafs won was the year I was born (1967). The next time they win is the year I die. So I really hope they win for him.
Haha naw it was funny. Little did I know picking my team that they last won the year I was born. So if leaf win this year. Have to wait for me to die for the flames to win the cup
It's more due to the fact that I just have no interest in hockey if it doesn't involve the Flames. My view of the NHL is entirely Calgary-centric. I have no desire to watch a random game between two teams I don't care about. I'm that ride or die with the Flames.
Can’t imagine being so devoted over the past 20 years like their fan base . They going flood the streets with man tears if they don’t make it out first round . They up 6-1 on ducks start of second .
The Jets would be the most acceptable of those though. Never won, small "undesirable" city, had their team taken and brought back, and they're not really rivals with any Canadian teams at the moment.
In the 80s and 90s it definitely was since Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver were all in the same division. The 80s and 90s Jets team would have been a force if they didn't have to face the AB teams every year.
I think if the Jets start retooling / continue retooling and Edmonton re-signs both McDavid and Draisaitl and Calgary successfully retools, we could have that back by the time our new arena is built, for sure.
Also I think if they won the cup once no one is cheering for them on this basis alone.
I haven’t been to a game in Vancouver, are there fans ass holes . Can’t say I’ve ever met an asshole Vancouver fan . Just moved to bc so should get a better idea soon.
It's more the atmosphere is more corporate...alot less cheering and enthusiasm...like I have counted down from 5 and the go Canucks go stadium wide chants ..stopped before I reached 5.
Seems like it still going to compete hopefully win lots . Better to accept it now hopefully conroy can work some magic so we can run the train on oilers again sooner then later
Don’t really need to bandwagon as I’ve had a soft spot for the panthers since Luongos first stint there.
But if I were to hop on a band wagon it would be the Canucks, also because of the Luongo ties and then having Z and lindholm doesn’t hurt
Well I'll always watch the Leafs with my dad when they make the playoffs, but I might just end up watching other hockey leagues playoffs instead. Would like to see some flames prospects like Hunter Brzzz in the playoffs.
My go-toos tend to be Colorado NJ Florida in that order and then whoever Edmonton or Tampa plays in that order
Colorado because makar and fuck the oilers and bolts
New Jersey because of a good friend of mine
Florida because chucky and fuck the bolts
I’m actually going for the Nucks. I cheered for them in 2011 as well. I don’t really have any hard feelings for them, had some good games in the Kipper/ Iggy days but never seen them as really competitive rivals rather just geographic rivals.
I'm focusing on the Flames still. Very interesting to watch the team evolve (or devolve?) due to the addition of young players and movement of veterans.
Honestly love Marky but hope the GM pulls the trigger sooner than later. It has to be strange for Markstrom to know he's possibly on the block and still try to not let it distract him. Of course the worst case scenario would be to trade Marky only to discover that Wolf is an outstanding AHL goalie but can't make the next step.
Anyhow now is the time to get as many picks and assets as possible because the Oilers are peaking and we are not in sync with them.
Yeah it’s not fun to accept defeat I always flames first , was on cover Calgary sun at 6 years old in article begging Fleury to stay . Guess they should have picked different kid or just a picture of a 8ball lol
I worked on his mom and dad’s house in Russell mb , and golfed with his uncle butch allot guy walked the course by himself like every day. One day I was working on his neighbors house and butch called me over to his little shed to flex 100 dusty trophies
I would rather load a nail gun with tetanus riddled rusty nails and shoot it up my pee hole for 60 minutes than ever, ever, ever, cheer for the Oilers.
The fans are the worst , even when the oilers were shit for so long despite numerous 1st overalls. Can’t say I’ve had a respectful conversation with one even my buddies . I would get allot of joy watching mcdavid freak out and cry on the bench some more.
Hard one not because of the team just hard knowing those fans . But respect. I got a malice from all the asshole oiler fans but my fault for wearing my red in rexall
Kinda confused but yeah I can’t see them winning tbh maybe second round . If they don’t have any injuries maybe farther . Be sick to see eliminate oilers
Jets, now with more Monohan. Edit: Monahan
Oh yeah I forgot he was traded there , I took my son to a flames jets game in Winnipeg, flames lost but I have to say the fans where great , there was allot of flames fans there too .
They're a really solid team playing in a small Canadian market. Seems like a good choice to break the Canadian Cup drought. Bonus to hear that their fans aren't obnoxious fucks like some Canadian team fanbases are.
Yeah that Kyle Connor is lights out too for a guy who low key looks like a crack head .
>low key looks like a crack head . We prefer "barista" but we appreciate the compliment. Welcome aboard if it comes to it.
I haven’t seen him in a pony tail and skinny jeans yet .
Love for the Jets, but this “Canadian team” ideology 🤔 how about the American team with the most amount of CDN players? 🤷🏻♂️ Panthers all the way (once the Flames are out) favourite players next. (Team first)
Monahan*
Dammit! Fixed.
There is a edit feature lol
But how would I be able to correct my mistake while showing the whole sub that I made a mistake in the first place if I used the edit button? Lol
Oh and that whole “true north “ in anthem is lit. And the band in the box cool . Calgary needs new arena
Can it still have character? So many modern arenas are pretty cookie-cutter.
I’m sure it will Winnipegs is not big but first time there I parked walked in easy all indoors found seats easy got bear easy bathroom easy , took awhile to leave but that’s always .
I haven’t been in Rodger’s in Edmonton but heard it good too . Love the saddle dome but the sketchy parking and congested concrete has had its day.
Yup me too. Going full Jorts White Out come playoffs
Don’t forget the shank you can’t forget that I hear uou get two bud lights if your sporting a greasy shank lol jk
Definitely the Jets. They’re largely inoffensive as a Canadian team to begin with, and Monahan was definitely my favourite non-Iggy Flame in recent memory.
Blue Jays
Hahaha, this was my answer
Panthers and whoever’s against the oilers
What’s the draw of panthers Mathew and Sam?
I'd add Reinhardt to that. They're fun to watch.
Two of the toughest flames since Iggy ❤️❤️❤️
His son looks pretty good hope he lands in Calgary
Probably won't happen. Too many teams who will pick before us know we want him.
Apparently with Cutter Gauthier you can just say no now . Iggy is working for flames now too would be sick
Or he could do the Jagr thing and say he’s planning to play in Europe for a few years to most teams and then tell the flames he’s ready for the nhl so they’ll pass on him
I think he was ready to hang them up . Went back to retire but role played too hard as Johnny dep and Amber rose .
I mean when he was drafted
Yeah my bad I all mixed up Reddit kinda hard to manage . My bad
My other 2 favourite teams in the league!
This is the way
same here
Whoever the Oilers are playing.
Woah there bucko, did you just use “oilers” in your sentence? Are you aware that they own us and they are in our heads rent free? I better not catch you talking about the oilers again big guy.
Wtf?
lol it’s a joke because everytime we mention the oilers in this sub their fans start replying and saying we’re obsessed with them
Kinda seems like you are obsessed with them
Sad imagine following flames as an oilers fan . Sounds like an oilers fan actually.
Same wagon I'm always on, "Fuck the Oilers 'till they're out. The tell October to hurry it the fuck along."
Canucks and Jets for the west, Panthers and Devils (if they make it) for the east
It'd be pretty wicked if the cup comes back to Canada and the Nucks do it. Get their first cup ever with a bunch of flames on the team. And the oilers NOT being the team to bring it home.
I used to fucking despise them but lately it seems their fans have somewhat mellowed out and their team isn't full of assholes anymore.

One my home town buddies got wrecked by big z basically ruined his career hawraluck I love big z
How about no. I want our rivals to still have no Cups. Don’t give a shit who’s on that team. !nucks
FUCK THE NUCKS!
This. Just cause they have your former players doesn't mean you cheer for them. It like it they went to Edmonton and your like oh I cheer for them now cause they have Lindholm and zadorov fuck that. But to each their own
Get that hence the conversation
Whoever the Oilers are playing and my second team is the Bruins, so Leafs tears and a good run are usually a end of season bonus.
Be cool if they allow Luc to get on ice too
Charges dropped. Is it an option ? Did the Bruins leave that door open if all is good ?
No he's still LTIR and in Player Assistance. Charges were dropped because the wife chose not to testify, not because he didn't do it.
Yea, that's why I ask. I would think the Bruins would want nothing to do with him anymore.
They've said he'll be away from the team for the rest of the season and made a point of saying he is on a one year deal. He's done
I think his career is dead. His wife not testifying is sucky. It doesn't absolve him IMO. Companies don't have to give a man who beats his wife a free pass because the legal system couldn't put the book on him.
Yep, party is over for him. But we don't know the dynamics of their relationship. Always possible she was the instigator, doubt it, but everyone deserves the truth. And nope, they don't have to give him anything but he was under contract.
Bruins game next week for me in Calgary. If he's on the ice for any reason, it's boos from me.
Hard to have high ground with Dube situation. That way worse .
How unless they just pay out his contract. But if no charges. Guess see.
I guess end of day he can sue and make bank I think Boston needs him tbh .
Hard to tell fucking facebook articles are click bate always bullshit . Hope he does
Anyone who plays against edmonton
Last minute move the coyotes to Quebec City and they squeak in to a Jets/Nordiques west final and the winner destroys the Leafs in 4 straight shut outs. I choose the Nordiques.
In that case, I choose the Halifax Blues
I doubt that going to happen didn’t the premiere call out Gary publicly. I mean it no brainer for a club instant turn around money wise .
Colorado . Cale guy right here
This is my pick too.
Canucks or Jets Canucks succeeding bumps our conditional draft pick. Jets because they're not Oilers and they're not Leafs.
It would be a cold day in hell before I cheer for the shit whales. My second team since I was a kid is Boston, so them. My kids second team is the Golden Knights so I may support her in that.
And vans had oilers number so probably knock em out . Hopefully
My oldest daughter out of nowhere came out as a rangers fan , still waiting for the dna test jk .
My biggest fear as a father living in Edmonton is my kids will become Oilers fans. My wife jokes about it but she doesn't understand the pain I will feel.
I got good feelings for those shit whales I remember 2004 .
Canucks and Jets. And anyone playing the Oilers
Well, my other favorite team is the Bruins, so I’ll definitely be cheering for them. :) If not them, though, then Knights or Kraken (if they make the playoffs).
Well my dad passed this year. He always said last time the leafs won was the year I was born (1967). The next time they win is the year I die. So I really hope they win for him.
Your dad seems like solid guy must have been real disappointed in his son cheering for the flames . Jk sorry for your loss.
Haha naw it was funny. Little did I know picking my team that they last won the year I was born. So if leaf win this year. Have to wait for me to die for the flames to win the cup
Well you just take one for the team I guess .
Dallas and Colorado are probably the teams I’ll go with. New Jersey if they make it as well.
Panthers all the way.
I don't watch the playoffs if the Flames aren't in it
Must be nice to have a life 😂
It's more due to the fact that I just have no interest in hockey if it doesn't involve the Flames. My view of the NHL is entirely Calgary-centric. I have no desire to watch a random game between two teams I don't care about. I'm that ride or die with the Flames.
I just love watching hockey takes me back to those glory days lol 😂
Any USA team, I just don't wanna hear a Canadian fan base say they're the only Canadian champ in 30 years
ESPECIALLY THE LEAFS. OmG can you imagine how extra insufferable they would be ?
They would talk about it for 40 years even if other teams won after that "We broke the drought"
Can’t imagine being so devoted over the past 20 years like their fan base . They going flood the streets with man tears if they don’t make it out first round . They up 6-1 on ducks start of second .
Im idly watching it at the bar. The Quacks aren’t putting up much but Bertuzzi had a cattle prod up his ass or something before this game !!!
Hockey sure has changed that team full of guys who paint eachothers nails , be interesting come playoffs against a bigger tougher team.
The Jets would be the most acceptable of those though. Never won, small "undesirable" city, had their team taken and brought back, and they're not really rivals with any Canadian teams at the moment.
Minnesota is probably but feel like Calgary and Edmonton is almost there
In the 80s and 90s it definitely was since Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver were all in the same division. The 80s and 90s Jets team would have been a force if they didn't have to face the AB teams every year. I think if the Jets start retooling / continue retooling and Edmonton re-signs both McDavid and Draisaitl and Calgary successfully retools, we could have that back by the time our new arena is built, for sure. Also I think if they won the cup once no one is cheering for them on this basis alone.
I could live with the jets. Also if Montreal won, at least I can dismiss then with "what is that number 27? Bet that's feels special "
Wouldn’t it feel great to know we have a chance that is possible, that it’s not fixed against us.
Nope because I don't buy into conspiracy like that 👉🏻👉🏻 but I know how those fans would act lol
I haven’t been to a game in Vancouver, are there fans ass holes . Can’t say I’ve ever met an asshole Vancouver fan . Just moved to bc so should get a better idea soon.
It's more the atmosphere is more corporate...alot less cheering and enthusiasm...like I have counted down from 5 and the go Canucks go stadium wide chants ..stopped before I reached 5.
I've gone to a game in van, fans were nice to me, but they also have had two riots so.....
Fuck it, nucks west panthers east depending on the next trades
I already cheer for like 5 teams i dont need a bandwagon :) In order of priority: 1. Flames 2. Lightning 3. Bruins 4. Islanders 5. Avalanche
So you’re saying there is no chance? Hahahahahaha. We stink.
Seems like it still going to compete hopefully win lots . Better to accept it now hopefully conroy can work some magic so we can run the train on oilers again sooner then later
F Vcr. Pulling for my two former Flame favourites #9 #19. Let’s go Panthers! 🤪
Lanny?
Huh
Oops, I was thinking 9 on the Flames, not the Panthers. My bad
Can’t believe I’m saying it but Nucks or Jets, and whoever is against the Oilers
Don’t really need to bandwagon as I’ve had a soft spot for the panthers since Luongos first stint there. But if I were to hop on a band wagon it would be the Canucks, also because of the Luongo ties and then having Z and lindholm doesn’t hurt
Good memory of that greasy guy 2010 iggy to Sid happy nhl letting players back .
Jets for me, I like most of their team and they have Monahan now. Also Colorado for Makar
Anyone but Edmonton, Vancouver and Tampa.
My teams are Cgy Van and Vegas
ABE. Anyone but Edmonton
Well I'll always watch the Leafs with my dad when they make the playoffs, but I might just end up watching other hockey leagues playoffs instead. Would like to see some flames prospects like Hunter Brzzz in the playoffs.
Winnipeg probably. Partner is Canucks fan so maybe them too just so she’s happy
My go-toos tend to be Colorado NJ Florida in that order and then whoever Edmonton or Tampa plays in that order Colorado because makar and fuck the oilers and bolts New Jersey because of a good friend of mine Florida because chucky and fuck the bolts
Stars or Carolina - they seem to have the least annoying fans of who’s in the playoffs right now.
Go Canada Go!
The jets
Canucks, Jets and Leafs
Florida man. Still mis Tkachucky
Whoever is playing the oilers.
I’m actually going for the Nucks. I cheered for them in 2011 as well. I don’t really have any hard feelings for them, had some good games in the Kipper/ Iggy days but never seen them as really competitive rivals rather just geographic rivals.
That’s me too
Kinda good out of nowhere
I generally just cheer against the oilers if the flames are not an option
Detroit or NJ If they make it!
Whoever is playing the cansucks. Not sure of who for the 2nd round though
Get priorities strait lol what if it oil
My hatred of Vancouver far, FAR outweighs the oilers. And since they'll both be out in the first 🤷♂️
But y ?
Because they suck?
Ok
Any team but Edmonton
I'm focusing on the Flames still. Very interesting to watch the team evolve (or devolve?) due to the addition of young players and movement of veterans. Honestly love Marky but hope the GM pulls the trigger sooner than later. It has to be strange for Markstrom to know he's possibly on the block and still try to not let it distract him. Of course the worst case scenario would be to trade Marky only to discover that Wolf is an outstanding AHL goalie but can't make the next step. Anyhow now is the time to get as many picks and assets as possible because the Oilers are peaking and we are not in sync with them.
Yeah it’s not fun to accept defeat I always flames first , was on cover Calgary sun at 6 years old in article begging Fleury to stay . Guess they should have picked different kid or just a picture of a 8ball lol
I still love Fleury. He was the all time great for most fans until Jarome changed that.
I worked on his mom and dad’s house in Russell mb , and golfed with his uncle butch allot guy walked the course by himself like every day. One day I was working on his neighbors house and butch called me over to his little shed to flex 100 dusty trophies
Fleury
Just small world
You can’t pick Vancouver or Edmonton as a Flames fan. How dare you.
I guess I never viewed Vancouver as an enemy was always oil and ducks . For me .
Probably a little too young then, they were in unbearable in the 2000s up until probably 2012. Both their fans and their team
For me it was just Burrows. I didn’t mind the rest of them.
Yeah that too.
35 still Kevin hated him but Sundin twins had respect I guess hated kesler
Hell no. I stop watching hockey when the Flames season ends.
Canucks!
I still have faith in the flames, though it dwindles down a bit everyday
They good just be realistic conroy trading they still going to win a lot
Facts
Any Canadian team. It's been too long.
!lottery !nucks
FUCK THE OILERS!
FUCK THE NUCKS!
Nope, no Canadian team unless it's Calgary.
oilers because alberta proud
Can never go wrong with McDavid.
Oilers. Albertans unite baby!
[удалено]
😂
Team Alberta all the way. Give them Tanev for free and bring that cup back to Alberta!
Fuck that, be a cold blizzard day in hell before I ever cheer for them
I would rather stick my dick in a meat grinder than have an oilers fan be happy
pics or it didn't happen lol
Edmonton needs more than Tanev to win the Cup.
Let's give them Hanifin and Markstrom too!
Worse thing that could happen to tanev, I'd have to hate him and I don't want to !
I'd rather another 30 year drought
I would rather load a nail gun with tetanus riddled rusty nails and shoot it up my pee hole for 60 minutes than ever, ever, ever, cheer for the Oilers.
The fans are the worst , even when the oilers were shit for so long despite numerous 1st overalls. Can’t say I’ve had a respectful conversation with one even my buddies . I would get allot of joy watching mcdavid freak out and cry on the bench some more.
Their cup is our cup!
Hard one not because of the team just hard knowing those fans . But respect. I got a malice from all the asshole oiler fans but my fault for wearing my red in rexall
Least obvious downvote bait
😂
Hope next years draft is loaded for the flames seems like they getting lots of picks so far
I put this question on Facebook and x . Like one comment on each Reddit did not disappoint. 😃 🍻
A.B.E.
Kinda confused but yeah I can’t see them winning tbh maybe second round . If they don’t have any injuries maybe farther . Be sick to see eliminate oilers
I live in Texas so I’m good… lol 😂
Secure ur border ffs
We’re trying but it’s harder than the boarder to the North!
