Join us for the game tomorrow - anyone wearing that orange and blue jersey will receive FREE wings for a year cards! pic.twitter.com/PWk8CTp952 — The Pint Vancouver (@pintvancouver) May 10, 2017

A pound of wings at The Pint on Wednesday costs $4. Multiply that by 52 — the average number of Wednesdays in one year — and that’s $208 worth of wings.

Not a bad deal, right?

Well, some Vancouver supporters didn’t think so.

The Twitter promotion received a hostile overreaction reaction from a sensitive segment of Canucks fans.

“Boycott this establishment Canucks fans,” wrote @powderfinger.

“Close your doors,” said @JakeCanuck.

Alannah McIntyre, The Pint’s operations manager, was surprised by the blowback.

With the Canucks missing the playoffs for the third time in four seasons, local bars have to get creative — like appealing to different fanbases — if they want to survive and thrive.

“It’s a little disappointing because we do a lot of promotions and giveaways for Canucks fans, because at our heart we will always be a Canucks bar. You just have to walk in — and see the photos on the wall – and it’s quite clear we cheer for the Canucks,” McIntyre said.

“But at the end of the day, we are a sports bar and hockey is Canada’s favourite sport. A lot of people want to back a Canadian team if we can’t back the Canucks.”

While The Pint tries to lure in Oilers fans with wings, the Black Frog, another Gastown bar, has no choice but to turn some away.

Kitchen manager Ryan Sherbank says unless you show up at least two hours early on Oilers game night, you will not get inside.

“The lineup outside goes all the way around the corner,” he 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.
