Especially when there are tons of other places to watch the nucks. Doesnt take much for hardcore fans to walk into the next place instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 It's a Sports Bar. It's for a Canadian Team, would like to see them do the same for the Sens... no biggy. Just great to see Canadian teams in the playoffs... otherwise I wouldn't be watching anything until the cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Definite head scratcher move. Don't understand how you don't see this coming. I get Van is dead in the water right now but come on. Alberta teams are the closest thing we have to "rivals". Whatever, doesn't rub me the wrong way. Do whatever you want with your business. Give a deal to people with NYR Messier jerseys too.

Toni Zamboni Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 personally i dont care as a nux fan. but i know these types of businesses really count on playoff time for revenue and so when the nux arent in the playoffs, it really hurts business...so from that standpoint, i am glad they are trying things to get the business in. i hate to see businesses fail, not good for anyone.

Gollumpus Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Well, if more Canucks "fans" went to this pub during these playoffs then there might not be a need for this type of event. How much business is your fave watering hole going to be doing while the Canucks re-build/tool and are out of the playoffs for the next few years? Are you going there to watch playoff games which involve other cities' teams? I suspect not. Leave it alone, it's small stuff. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysACanuckFan Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Meh, not a big deal really doesn't bother me. Perhaps on Tuesday or Thursday they should offer a free pound of wings for anyone walking in with a Burrows Sens jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirotashi Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 It actually accomplished a lot, I have to tip my hat to them. People are talking about their establishment in a way they never were before.

I dont think that applies in this case.....then again , maybe it will end up being good for them seeing as they offered nux fans the same deal, plus a gift certificate now. Lol. People definitley know about the specials now. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just great to see Canadian teams in the playoffs... otherwise I wouldn't be watching anything until the cup final. 1 hour ago, cuporbust said: The Black Frog, which is owned and operated by ex-Edmontonians, has been an Oilers bar since it opened in 2005. That was the season of Edmonton’s improbable — and ultimately heartbreaking — march to the 2006 Stanley Cup Final. “That Stanley Cup run kept this place going that first year,” said Sherbank, who hails from Sherwood Park, Alberta. The Oilers fell to the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 7 of the 2006 series and then went on to miss the playoffs 10 seasons in row, before finally — thanks to young superstar Connor McDavid — qualifying this year. “The Black Frog has almost been like a safe haven for Oilers fans. When you are in here, it doesn’t feel like you are in Vancouver. It feels like you are backing watching the Oilers in Edmonton,” Sherbank said. “We get Canucks fans come in here and it’s like they’ve entered enemy territory in their hometown. But usually they handle it pretty well … they recognize we’ve been through 10 years of suffering and misery". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I don't like it, feels disrespectful in a strange way. I agree that supporting the Sens would've been much nicer, but I understand they're more interested in capitalizing on the Oilers success. Lot of Oilers fans here and near and that means lots of customers. I won't be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
