Calgary Flames continually troll Canucks fans on social media
The Calgary Flames social media team knows how to poke holes in its rival’s fanbase.
After back-to-back wins over the Vancouver Canucks, the Flames consistently mentioned three individual players on their social media channels: Jacob Markstrom, Chris Tanev, and Josh Leivo.
Of course, these gentlemen happen to all have one thing in common: last season they each played for the Vancouver Canucks.
Markstrom played in Vancouver for seven seasons and was the Canucks’ MVP in each of the last two seasons.ย Tanev was with the Canucks for 10 seasons, a warrior for the team in more than 500 games, while Leivo was with the team for just two years.
Well, like it or not Canucks fans, they call Calgary home now. And the Flames reinforced that point over and over and over.

Naturally, Canucks fans were not happy with this high level of trolling by the Flames and took to social media to express their frustration.

Enjoy it while it lasts you'll still get eliminated in the first round as your city is on the hook for millions of dollars for that new stadium.
