More proof of Canucks' Lack of Prospects

[BJhunter]

Why do you have to support a bad or worse boring team. Are those of us that have interests other then the NHL bandwagon jumpers because we start to show a little interest in the third round of the playoffs?

There's a name for people that support their team and buy swag and PPV despite the team being bad or boring year after year that name is SUCKER.

Good call, Fillup, hope that Xerox can make sense of what you said.

What's so sick about fans like him, is that they miss the whole point. Why support failure and mediocrity? Aren't they just rewarding the Nucks lousy performance? It's no wonder there's been 250+ consecutive sellouts. Mgment has no incentive to improve or do anything, ie. doing jack all at trade deadline.

Yes, i'm from Ontario but moved here early enough never to develop any feelings for the Leafs or Habs, thank goodness! but b/c of their history, there's more competition, and an attitude about winning, unlike the westcoast lifestyle of being laid back, enjoying life, or our nature and beautiful parks, etc. I'm fortunate to have contact w/ friends and families back East, and hear all the stories about bandwagons, lack of hockey knowledge, & how this city just cheers for ANYONE.

The point is, why do ppl cheer for the Nucks when they're not doing things right? LIke even this stupid Sedins, u either sign 'em, trade 'em, but not make this a distracdtion. same for Ohlund. and sundin's 6 month pursuit borderline desperation.

But no, we're taught to love them no matter what. Look i'm a fan, as i said many, many times, but the canuckleheads take any negativity I say, as if i'm saying somehting about their family. Relax, this is just hockey! If I think Luongo's just a good goalie, not great, esp. if i'm comparing him to Roy & Brodeur, TAKE A CHILL PILL. These goalies have their Cups to prove it, and done a lot more in their careers than bobby lou has so far.

And if I don't like the Sedins b/c they're swedish, well, I know some guys on my team tht don't like Japanese cars. what, u're going to shoot them? hahha...i hate them b/c of their poor playoff record, or their disappearance when the showing gets tough. Unless you're Lidstrom, Holmstom, we dont need Swedish cheese or Ulf Samuelson, prob. the biggest sh*t of all, kneeing one of the best power forwards to be, our very own Cam Neely. I have to explain that to the Nuckleheads who just started to cheer a few yrs ago

and the gretzky vs lemieux debate, is there a perfect answer for a canucklhead?

and when HotAc was huffing and puffing how great Schneider was playing early in the season, well, where is he now? If he was that good, they woulnd't have given up on sanford or get Lababerra.

it's jsut so sick and disgusting how easy canuckleheads are pleased. guess it's easy when they plead ignorance, being naive, and being stupid also helps too, i guess.

 

[Fillup]

I agree with most of what you say BJ. I love sports but don't love the NHL, but I know what's up.

Who is Luongo's PR guy because I need that guy to promo. me. Everybody in the media in this town is afraid to say he isn't earning the big bucks he's getting paid. Sundin is an easy target but why not talk about all of the games Luongo has cost the team? They know that if they say anything about the great Canuck Captain they will become pariahs in the interview room.

How does he get compared to Roy and Brodeur? He's not even Cam Ward.

BTW BJ you have issues.

Why do you have to support a bad or worse boring team.

Because if you are a true fan of the team you support it through thick and thin.

Are those of us that have interests other then the NHL bandwagon jumpers because we start to show a little interest in the third round of the playoffs?

It's one thing to show a little interest. However, if you are one of those people who only go to the games, buy merchandise, and support the team only when they are doing well in the playoffs, then yeah, that's pretty much bandwagoning.

There's a name for people that support their team and buy swag and PPV despite the team being bad or boring year after year that name is SUCKER.

And there's also a name for people who support their team only when they are doing well: BANDWAGONER.

It's not about supporting mediocrity. It's about being committed to supporting the team no matter what.

Everybody loves to win. When the team is winning everybody is a fan. Everybody loves the team. It's all good. When the team is losing that's when you really find out who the real fans are. That's when you can really distinguish between the true fans and the bandwagoners.

It's no wonder there's been 250+ consecutive sellouts. Mgment has no incentive to improve or do anything

Actually management has plenty of incentive to improve:

A better team = playoffs and extra revenue

Long playoff run = tons of extra revenue.

ie. doing jack all at trade deadline.

*facepalms*

Didn't you just post an article talking about the farm system of the Canucks and how they have few good prospects?

Yeah, let's trade draft picks for rental players that will be UFA at the end of the season! Been there done that. Smolinski, Sanderson, Weinrich, Carney, Rucinsky, Sopel, etc. Shall I go on?

Gillis isn't stupid and he wasn't going to piss away more draft picks for the sake of making a deal. He simply didn't find a deal that made sense.

Look i'm a fan, as i said many, many times, but the canuckleheads take any negativity I say, as if i'm saying somehting about their family.

The difference is that you are biased AGAINST the team. You hold a grudge against Sundin, you hate the Sedins, you always find something to nitpick on even when they are winning. They are fifth in the western conference and yet, you are convinced this is not a "remotely good team".

Maybe if you were more objective in your criticism we would take you more seriously.

i hate them b/c of their poor playoff record, or their disappearance when the showing gets tough.

Hard to perform in the playoffs when you don't have a decent linemate and a supporting cast.

Think about all the linemates the Sedins have had over the years. Anson Carter is probably the best linemate they've ever had and that says a lot.

You can only do so much when your other linemate is a scrub.

So why can't the friggin Swedish meatballs ADAPT, for a change to their new linemate? These clowns cost 2 players as a package, b/c these little boys have been playing together since they were in diapers.

it's been problematic signing these guys, it's not just $6.5 mil, it's a $13mill cap hit in a declining market. Good for them, let them affect their game, we're really better off w/o them.

What have they done for playoffs? quit making excuses. they could be playing w/ any power forward in this league, and still be a bunch of scared swedes in the playoffs.

Or even breathe on Salo, he'll be scared, then be hurt

 

[trackstar]

Yes, i'm from Ontario but moved here way before there was a Vancouver Canucks.

Yeah, when they were the Vancouver Millionaires

 

[BJhunter]

Yeah, when they were the Vancouver Millionaires

Even the Millionaires prob had more success than the Nucks.

But when you have idiotic supporters like Trackboy, it's no wonder you've lowered the reputation of Nucks fans. I've been complimented by holding a higher bar of what constitutes success in the NHL, by not throwing a party b/c the Nucks on supposingly on a roll.

and yes, I say that despite us losing 2 straight games. But morons like you, will say, "Oh, we gave a great effort, to come back from 2-0..." well, I'm a results-driven person.. Don't care about needless stuff like that, it's so superficial. A loss is a loss. Think Calgary fans felt as good as you would, if your Nucks had lost in the Finals like the flames did to Tampa?

Sundin played like crap. The Sedins, according to even Homers like Taylor & Pratt, said that was the worst game in a long time.

Yes, you were still doing jumping jacks or pushups when they tied it up, eh?

Well next year we can drive out to Abbotsford to see Calgary's prospects play as they will be the new AHL affiliate for the Flames. Why don't we have a perberts night out when the Moose come to town to see what team's cupboards are more bare
