NuxFan09 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I feel totally indifferent to the tweet today. Not that I was really bothered by it last night either, but it's only natural that it's going to ruffle some feathers RIGHT after the team lost and everyone's in a stinky mood. That's why I tweeted back last night they should win a playoff series before gloating (seeing as how they haven't won a series since, what? 2001?). After a good night's sleep and a day at work to forget about the game, though, I actually found the initial tweet humorous. Looking forward to Game 2. Hoping the good guys even this thing up.

Grapefruits Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 By: The Canadian Press Date: Thursday Apr. 12, 2012 1:44 PM PT The Los Angeles Kings say they're sorry. One day after opening a series against Vancouver with a 4-2 win, the NHL team found itself backtracking from a playful jab made on Twitter. In the wake of the victory, the team's official account posted a message saying: "To everyone in Canada outside of BC, you're welcome." That didn't sit well with senior members of the organization, especially after all of the attention it generated. "We encourage our digital team to be creative, interactive and to apply a sense of humour whenever possible," said Mike Altieri, the Kings vice-president of communications and broadcasting. "To anyone who found it offensive we sincerely apologize." The Canucks have drawn criticism during a successful couple seasons that has seen them capture the Presidents' Trophy in back-to-back years and fall one game short of the Stanley Cup in 2011. In October, CBC commentator Don Cherry added to the chorus by saying Vancouver was disliked because the players whine at officials. The team is considered a strong Stanley Cup contender yet again and entered the series with Los Angeles as a heavy favourite. Game 2 goes Friday night at Rogers Arena.

Guest The Brown Burrows Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I found it to be pretty funny. * Makes the game more competitive (the game inside the game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 It's almost a little embarrassing that the Kings had to apologize for this whole thing but at least the article above indicates the apology was likely in response to objections by Canucks brass and not necessarily the fans and the city. Our rep, for whatever reason, is bad enough as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeZzy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 The sad part is the Canucks demonstrated exactly what they have been criticized for...both Kesler and Henrik performed absolutely ridiculous swan dives. I was embarrassed to be a Canucks fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panelguy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Canucks are not even close to the most hated team in Canada.

surtur Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 lol that's kind of funny. Maybe BC should separate from Canada? Quebec style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7thMan Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Classless. Just like when Bertuzzi told Wild fans not to bother with buying tickets for their next home games. We all know what happened in that series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwo Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think this is great for the game and does nothing but attract new fans. You people getting all worked up about it are pretty silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Walrus Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Was anyone else disappointed that the Canucks attempted to play big bruising hockey (something that isn't known as Canucks hockey) last night? I feel that was a poor effort to show the opposing team that the Canucks will not tolerate being walked all over. Only problem i have is the Canucks brand of hockey (skill plus chirping) is what led them to the SCF last year. They should stick to it and respond with physicality as needed. Last night most of the plays (hits to the head, roughing) was unnecessary and was our downfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
