Stick-in-Rink Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Well I go out of my way and spend excessive amounts of time here on CDC just to discuss Canucks and hockey! I'm not your CDCer that posts fire ____________ threads or whining and complaining threads. I'm a pretty positive person and I like to give my opinion on things. Most people (in real life) know me as "that chick who loves hockey". It was annoying to see all of my friends jump on the wagon when they used to tell me to shut up about hockey.. and now they're "supposedly" fans and talk about how hot a player is. Yes, numerous players on the Canucks roster are attractive, but it's annoying how they only mention their looks and not their skills. Hockey is an extraordinary thing. It's not that I just watch the games and go to sleep.. There's just so much more to it, and the passion I have for it is indescribable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbal23 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 It's okay, they usually go back to Surrey after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST.Nucks Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 This is going to happen in any town with any sport.... the home team does well and everyone cheers... people just like to celebrate. And lets be honest... how bad would any of our politicians look if they didn't cheer on our city's/country's team. I'm one of the fans that follows the team closely all year every year... and I too dislike the whole bandwagon idea... but its inevitable. When you really think about it its not a bad thing that people want to support their home team. But yes, it annoys me when those people insist they know everything about the canucks... but it also annoys me when those people who call them selves true fans tear our players to pieces when they aren't performing. Just sayin... theres always going to be something that pisses you off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanKeslord17 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Im the biggest Canuck fan/homer my friends,coworkers and family know. Im a diehard fan, but I take players sides all the time, and defend the team whenever.I hate other teams and other fans, and treat rival fans like foreigners. The end. I hate people who criticize players on our team and they dont even follow the sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindilette Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 <br /><br /><br /> Lol no need to feel bad or let anybody run you down just because you started watching when the team was at its best. I became a fan in 94, just in time to see them make that classic playoff run. Havent been able to get enough of the team since then...even through some of those lean years.

logic Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Fan since I was born. I watched the 12 game losing streak in 09' and was depressed for 2 weeks when they lost, probably missed 10 games since the lockout, and i'm only 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Again Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 I still haven't considered myself as a fan yet but I'm getting there I guess. I still yet need to get my first Canucks jersey (still debating who to get xD). I promised myself I have to see a home game this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent.S Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 if you're a 'true' fan hehe get a Cody Hodgson jersey, its against the Grain but by picking a up and coming player it means you know your players and who is who also Cody's gonna be a star!

ILoveWaffles Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I like bandwagon fans for several reasons: 1.) Creates a more exciting atmosphere during the playoffs 2.) Makes me feel more knowledgeable because I know way more than them 3.) Gives me something to complain about when the team loses and I'm upset (also explains this thread since we just went 0-1-1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucks.brad Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Fake Fan: Someone who follows the Canucks only because they are doing well and winning. Shows little to no knowledge about the team or the sport in general. Buys the team's jersey in the midst of the Stanley Cup Playoffs because it is the cool thing to do. Adamantly flaunts their love for the team, and only shows interest when it is a noticeable time to do so. e.g. Our lovely premier Christy Clark, the #1 fake fan in the province.

canucks.brad Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 75 percent of the season ticket holders in the first 20 rows of the lower bowl are fake fans and are only there cause its "cool" to have season tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
