is it like losing to the ducks?

I don't get it. What's there that's gonna change my hatred for them?

take the time to observe the level of discussion that goes on there, then consider your comment in this thread and figure out where your comment is better suited.

They need a goalie.

Didn't they get blown out 6-0 by the Panthers, of all teams?

No better place than RS!

All teams have their shit games now and then. Even if it is to a crappier team.

Are you the type to visit Vancouver with your Leafs jersey on and then lose two weeks of sleep over pondering why everyone on Kingsway was boo-ing you out of their cars?

Just wondering.

I'm the type who visits in my leafs jersey and has generally good encounters with canuck fans or even comes across other leaf fans. During the Olympics it was even better because it was the people wearing USA jerseys that got all the negative attention.

That's probably why you're expecting it here too then I suppose. Then again, you've also been here since Aug 2002 so you must know somewhat how RS works. Suck it up, it's the OFFICIAL CANUCKS thread.

The Olympics = outlier that you can't consider; we accepted the entire world here (minus one or two cases of random drunken assault).

Fact of the matter is...this is a Canucks thread...not the NHL thread. If you don't like it, feel free to start a Leafs thread or an NHL thread.

This stops now. We won't babysit a flame war in here.

Sorry BAUCE.

Says who?

It's these very same Canuck fans that like to bring up the Flames and the Leafs, more often than not for bashing purposes. And then everyone acts all hoity toity when the few little Flame or Leafs fans respond in retort?

Yes this is the Canuck thread and not an NHL thread but if that was really the case, why was the Kovalchuk saga a big part of this thread during summer? Why does this thread follow the Play Offs past the 2nd round? Why this? Why that?

Or are we only using the "Canuck Thread" argument because it's the easiest justification to slam another non-Canuck fan because this conveniently is not an issue when discussing other franchises to criticize them?



I love the Canucks but God I fucking hate Canucks fans. It really was no surprise we made Spike's list for a sport's teams' most annoying fans. If you guys aren't condescending to other fanbases, you guys are condescending among your own with the bandwagoning cliches of who's the better fan over the other.

Man you guys should meet my friend who loves the Leafs but hates the Canucks more.

Pretty much every move the Canucks make is a bad move according to him.

From the top of my head some of the "bad moves" were:

- Kesler signs for 5 mil = Overpaid for a 20 goal scorer
- Ballard trade = Giving up 2 1st round players and a 1st roudn draft pick for an overpaid terrible defenseman
- Mats Sundin = Laugh at us when it was likely he was going to the Rangers and not the - Canucks then laugh at us when we sign him because it was an overpaid contract despite it being only one year and still leaving us cap space to spend
- Canucks go undefeated in pre-season = "CANUCK FANS ARE IDIOTS. IT'S ONLY PRESEASON DUMBASSES" on his msn. But when we suck ass this year and Calgary goes undefeated "HAHAHA CANUCKS SUCK! HOW YOU LIKE CALGARY NOW!"
Burrows signs for 2mil for 4 years = "WHAT AN IDIOT" with no acknowledgment of what a great signing that is

Pretty much he won't say anything great about a Canuck player until he is traded.

he laughed when we traded Krajicek saying he has potential to be a Kaberle type player.


I made a bet with him he wouldn't get xx points (I forgot what) then at the end of the year when I call him out on the bet he denies it even after I showed him proof. "You photoshopped it."

Every argument would end with him saying "0 cups". That's his favorite go to line.

I always hated the Leafs but never bashed them so outright and unfair in the past but after arguing with this guy year after year with his complete and utter unbiased nature, it had forced me to sink to his level. And because of that I can't even say anything unbiased about the Leafs--it just won't come out! I know half of it is just him trying to get under my skin but we all knew he was a big Canuck hater since high school.

I blocked him 'cause I just can't keep up with him. He would message me every Canuck loss or if we win, he'll find something in the game to message me about. I never message him about any Leaf games because I don't watch Leaf games. It's too much work!
So now that he's blocked hopefully I can revert back to normal this season :P.

This is not a "Leaf" fan thing. This is an any fanbase of a huge following thing.

For example, I will see the above and raise you a Canuck fan.

- Shirokov was supposed to be Bure 2.0 when he went on a tear on last year's pre-season games.
- Giving Trevor Linden the C over Naslund (past the WCE era) would've brought us the cup because....... well fuck, just because he's Trevor Linden and he can pull magic out of his ass that can overcome any goal deficits in a play offs.
- Giving the goalie captaincy makes absolute sense.
- Jeff Cowan is the embodiment of a great player after his 5 goal streak on 06-07.
- And this is my favourite: The annual, this year is "our year" mantra the fanbase keeps saying unto itself year after year after year.

Oh I didn't mean it was a leaf thing. I meant it was a Canuck hating thing sorry.

I agree with you about Canuck fans though. It's why I stopped going to the CDC forums.

But what you state is just over excitement of the fans. What I'm stating is my friend's unjust biased hate towards the Canucks.

Also, out of all those things you stated, I don't see the last one to be a problem. Almost every year we are strong contenders and even sport experts pick us to be up there every year so why can't we think it's our year? We have a damn good chance.

Despite our poor start I think we look much better this year than last year. This is of course all pre season speculation. I base this on my assumption that our top 6 can perform close to how they performed last season, our 3rd line is a actual checking line this time, and our defence is looking much stronger with Ballard and Hamhuis. Only thing I don't like is losing Mitchell and still having Bieksa.

this is how it should be:

1. hockey fan first
2. "insert favourite team fan here"
3. cheer for canadian teams
4. other teams go here


as much as i may dislike a certain canadian team, in the end i'd still cheer for them because if they dont do well.. we're going to lose our hockey teams to places like phoenix and atlanta

gary bettman is gonna start putting hockey in places like new mexico and ohio. we gotta protect our game!! bring it back home

^ That's how I view hockey. Hockey is my religion. I play it, play the video games, watch it on TV, talk about it everyday at least once, have sex with it.

wat.



I agree with your #3 as long as it's not Toronto or Calgary.

I dunno... I could care less about the other 29 teams.
I cheer for the Canucks. And that's about it. No reason to bash another team, city, or fan.
Maple Leafs, Flames, even Blackhawks.

But that's me.

You might say, hey! you're probably not that into hockey.
No... I am. Just that I praise when Canucks play well.
And see no reason to bash another team's flaws.

Lol, I don't understand why some fans take jabs and insults so personal. Sports in general would suck if everyone held hands and sung kumbaya and had no bitter rivalries or "innocent" for the love of your team type insults and attacks been thrown around. Lets grow a pair boys.

Me. Because I'd rather talk hockey than about who has dumber fans. Notice the last two pages have been arguments about this subject rather than hockey.

This is a Canucks thread. Go ahead and try to do a play-by-play of a Florida or Columbus game if you want and see how that goes.

Either way, I don't care. Talk trash if you want. It's expected...but to suggest we get more Leafs talk in here is just stupid.

^ exactly.

game tonight. anybody care ? lol

People more concerned with getting fails than the game
