The fact anyone is legitimately wondering if the Canucks trolled the Predators by playing U2 is so baffling to me and really shows peoples ignorance.

  4. For those that aren’t in the know. Right before the Preds went on their 18 game point streak they were supposed to go see U2 at the sphere in Vegas. Trotz took that away from them because they were playing like shit. Younger fans think playing U2 is trolling them.

  5. It’s nostalgic for us. Not a troll against them. I was listening to the ice cap in Sirius after the game and was yelling at the radio. Dumb phucks

  7. I think it also speaks to how long this team has been without playoff hockey that a song once synonomous with playoff home games here has been forgotten and people can honestly believe its WWE style trolling.

    Which I would be down for. Gimme the double on this.

  8. Don’t overthink the confusion. It’s both a throwback tradition but also a nice little dig at the Preds storyline. Everyone wins.

    Except Nashville, who lost.

  9. To be fair, not everyone is a Canucks’ fan or has watched them play in the playoffs before, so they likely don’t even know about the team’s use of the song.

  11. People seem to be forgetting that the song was announced before we even knew we were playing Nashville

  14. Are we just purposely ignoring the fact a Sportsnet 650 host a couple weeks before they even knew who they were playing said they were testing the streets have no name on the p.a in the building? Cause I feel like we are conveniently ignoring that now

  16. Streets Have No Name has been part of Canucks lore for like 20 years.

    People barely heard of this U2 story from Nashville

  17. I’ve been trying to explain this to people who just started watching hockey and don’t know anything that happened more than a few years ago. This has been Vancouver’s playoff intro song for decades. It’s not a troll, and wouldn’t make sense if it was. Why would they want to remind the Preds of the moment that turned their season around and got them into the playoffs?

  18. I was really getting pissed off with the rhetoric Sportsnet was trying to pull. This is not a troll job. This is hockey heritage, and Vancouver Canucks hockey heritage at that.

  19. I never would have guessed that song went back to WCE days. In my mind it’s more aligned with the 2011 run.

  20. Best entrance in the league. We had it during a special time in Canucks history. Nothing to do with the preds.
