Canucks Boost Blue Jays With The Worst Tweet Possible

Blue Jays, don't listen to those losers on the other coast.

Canadians from coast-to-coast are standing behind you, Blue Jays. But some of us are doing it better than others.

Way over on the West Coast, the Vancouver Canucks jumped into the act by tweeting their support on Thursday.

But they chose the worst possible way to do it.

See, back in 1994, the Canucks made a sweetheart run to the Stanley Cup Final against the New York Rangers.

It was a hell of a playoff season, right up until Game 7, when the Rangers beat the Canucks 3-2, beginning a Canadian Stanley Cup drought that has lasted right up to the present day.

Look, we think it's great that other cities are jumping on the bandwagon. But this is a lot like the Jays supporting another team, by bringing up their own crushing defeat in 1987.

Twitter users rightly savaged the Canucks for the tweet.

To the Blue Jays: you've still got this. Don't listen to those losers over on the other coast.
