RyanMaverick Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I expect UBC application numbers to spike due to all the pre-meds wanting to come see the Stanley Cup here in Vancouver over the next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwh333 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 he should be able to step it up. regardless, we have 6 25+ goal scorers. plus the art ross winner this year. PS. what are you, a flames fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnb88 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 yeah Vancouver!! Vancouver? pffft.... they'll make an early exit. Just like always. Their stars tend to disappear early on in the playoffs... just like San Jose. Besides, they play Luongo waaaaaay too much in regular season, so by the time playoffs come he's just way to tired. Or just not that good haha I'm cheering for Pittsburgh. Been a fan for... well almost as long as I've been an Oilers fan. (Oilers in the West (sadly they aren't in it AGAIN this year:(). Penguins in the East.) I'm also hoping for an early Caps exit. Not a fan of AO at all. It'd be nice if a Canadian team won though. Sens maybe? Or Montreal. Actually, I really hope Montreal makes it past the first round, because that means the Caps are out. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewfieMike Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I thought it was against the rules of being a sports fan to have 2 teams. If you're an Oiler's fan you have to stick it out. Although I imagine it must be really tough for you this season. I'm no better--I'm a Flames fan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I imagine it must be really tough for you this season. I'm no better--I'm a Flames fan... See, the Oilers are #1 by far. But as far as another team winning the cup, I could handle Pittsburgh winning it. It was pretty tough. Especially since every time I watched in 2010, they lost... although, they also lost quite a bit when I couldn't watch... so it's not like my watching was like a curse or something. haha. I didn't see an Oiler win in 2010 though You're darn right you're no better. Flames? pfffft. I think we need an intervention on your lack of ability to see which team is the better overall team. And it must really.... burn.... for you to not even have a draft pick until the 3rd round at the earliest (or 4th round if you give the conditional to us this year). From what I hear too, this is a pretty decent draft year.... that must just burn a little more hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be a Calgarian in about 3 months and, by laws of sports fans, you have to be a fan of the team from your city. It's part of the rules.

Edmonton is where it's at;) And it's not part of the rules, I know plenty of Oiler fans that live in Calgary... so you can also feel free to join their ranks and cheer for the better team. Edmonton>Calgary. Just in case you didn't know Don't tell me you are going to cheer for the Stamps as well once you move to Calgary....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnb88 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 HA! Maybe after the Oilers are done "building a team," they can go aim for a 70 point season! Haha... good one...(not) Considering for most of the season our roster was generally at least 1/3 AHL players and we were playing our back up goalies for most of the season... not too bad. Plus when you have CMK (Captain Momentum Killer) taking penalties in the last 5 minutes when you're down by 1 goal... doesn't help the situation. Look at how bad Pittsburgh and Washington were a few years ago... now look at them. Watch for the Oil to do that too;) Who do you cheer for??

cnb88 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 yeah well, any team with Gretzky in his prime could have won 5 cups. Wasn't just Gretzky... they won at least one after he left... And that's a pretty weak come back hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwh333 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 say what you want. fact is, we're in 2010, so stop living in the past. EDM will not reach it's glory days again, heck even the playoffs... or even 14th spot in the West, anytime soon. have fun watching your huge plug of a captain play golf this spring and lead your team to nowhere next year again!

Granted, next year we may not make the playoffs, but in a couple years I can see us being a serious contender. Bahaha... ok, I totally agree with you there. Not sure why he wasn't stripped of his captaincy this year actually. After your captain says the only reason he was playing hard in a game was because there "were scouts in the building" makes you really wonder what kind of a captain he is:rolleyes:. We don't call him Captain Momentum Killer here just for laughs:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMaverick Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Ok guys, c'mon here. I thought this was the "Official NHL Playoffs" thread. There should be no Oilers or Flames talk in this thread. If you want you could make an "Official NHL Teams Golfing in April" thread and talk about them there! And I'm 100% a Canucks fan. That's why I made the point about the cup coming back here and the spike in UBC Med apps. Lots of upsets tonight. Glad to see Pheonix beat Detroit on home ice, and really glad to see the Sens outplay the Pens to take that game. Would love to see them make a first round exit this year.

thatonekid Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Anyways, im expecting San Jose, and Ottawa to choke like usual.. Ottawa's bringing the cup back to Canada! But if it's not the Sens, the I'll be cheering for the Hawks to win. I feel bad for Hossa and his "curse". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewfieMike Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 The Penguins are a really interesting case. They played like 3-4 garbage seasons, picked up some serious players, and now they nearing the top of the roster. very suspicious, if you ask me. Trying to purposely flunk a few seasons in order to start a dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
