Raffi Torres was a beast tonight. Dude might disappear during the regular season for stretches but once the playoffs come around he shows up.

It must be hard for him to do Oiler games when he despises us so hotly. What a ******bag.
I stopped following him. The rare piece of news he breaks will be retweeted instantly and his thoughts aren't worth the second it takes to read them.

Spector is bi-polar. He's an Oilers fan... but he has a big time love-hate relationship with the team.

Whenever the Canucks are doing well he sucks up to them but when things are bad... he starts chirping them on his Sportsnet blogs like a true blue Edmontonian.

I dunno, he claims he likes the Oilers but I have never heard him say anything positive about us. All he ever does is rag on us relentlessly. I'm tired of his bull**** attitude. And if he thinks everyone is so jealous of the Canucks and that Schneider couldn't have said it better he can **** right off and go cover the Canucks and deprive these unwashed masses of his glorious insights.

It's not nearly as bad as it was two years ago.

But yeah... you get the feeling that he's always right on the ledge of jumping ship over to the Canucks full time but his orange and blue conscience won't let him.

It should be noted that Canucks fans absolutely despise him. But then again, they hate everybody outside of BC.

I'm going to go on record and say I think kesler is overrated. I don't think he's as good as his numbers showed last year.

I suppose when some people have nothing intelligent or insightful to offer they go this route. It's sad really.

Yeah, Raffi was the best Coyote tonight again when it counts in the playoffs.

Throwing hits around, gasp, some smart defensive plays, and nice setups including an assist on the go ahead goal.

Coyotes crowd knows a good thing when they see it too. Everytime Raffi wires the puck from the wing(and he was getting beauties off) they know it has a chance of going in. Crowd got excited each time he streaked up the wing. Raffi gets so much space out there its silly.

Ryan Horcoff is Shawn Kesler.

This will become more an more apparent with the passage of time.

I actually had respect for Schneider. I thought he was the only decent Canuck out there...well, thanks to that comment, add him to my hated list.

Screw You Schneider. Your pathetic team choked in the finals and still got 0 cups while we have 5 cup banners hanging on the rafters of Rexall.

Ryan Horcoff doesn't dive, though, so at least that's a plus.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

Either way, I'm not sure who that insults more: Horcoff or Kesler?

I'm thinking when is the last time the Oil lit up Schneider?

Axe to grind?

These guys must love getting booed in every NHL city.

Evidently, Corey Schneider has never read HFboards' "National Hockey League Talk" forum.

Plenty of hate, Corey. Plenty o' hate.

More epic riots and lower mainland navel gazing to follow.



Just buy an Oiler jersey now and be ahead of the crowd.

Playoff hockey is so awesome. Best show in the sports universe.

Vancouver is still a team that has so little confidence, dares not poke at their direct opponents, but take a stab at something that is no current competition. Nicely done.

Watching hockey the last two days if we made the playoffs we probably would be better off just forefiting. Way to aggressive for this team.

Schneider specifically mentioned Eager and Hordichuk on Edmonton. We all knew Eager was borderline dirty/crazy, at least, before coming here.

But I truly think they don't seem to understand, players or fans, why they are hated. The fact that they are a top team that plays that way makes it worse, especially when they would never be a top team without the PP.
