Ṣpiderman Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Do the fans deserve a cup? Fans pay money, and the product we expect is the cup. If fans are complaining, that means they don't like the product they see. That's not the fans fault, it's the team and management's fault. They are trying to sell their games.

Armada Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I think it's called "getting paid millions of god damned dollars to play hockey." That is a great reward/award. And guess what, it's us fans that buy the tickets and boxes that pay the salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 And to the OP, it's becoming more and more obvious that the league wide label of Canucks fans is true. Whining fair-weather cry-babies. So unfortunately no, the majority of fans don't deserve it IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai604 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 A lot of the fans of this team deserve a cup after years of unwaivering support. At the other end of the spectrum, some of the so-called "fans" of this team don't even deserve to live in this beautiful city, let alone be a fan of the team. Every fanbase has its share of classless, clueless, and insane fans. If the riots are any indication, we seem to have a lot of douchebags who live in this city, however.

pimpcurtly Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 You're right. The label is true. Only the Canucks fans do those things. We riot also. We shouldn't even have a team. I wonder what it is that makes Vancouver fans such assholes, considering it doesn't happen in ANY other city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniwaki Canuck Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Not really, but then whose fans do? Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia? They're all even worse than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Pretty sure certain fans would complain no matter which team they were cheering for. Even if the Canucks went 82-0, someone would find something to whine about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Romo Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Really,shouldn't it be if the canucks players deserve the cup?????? So fans maybe not,but more importantly the players do deserve a cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 They were booing their 107 point team last night before they got around to Luongo. Their reputation is richly deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underachieving Hero of CDC Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 We have a fan base that is very passionate about the team, much moreso than any of the 23 American teams at least. People who are passionate are going to pick at the team's flaws because they want to see improvements. Its the fair weather fans that just say "oh well, that's just the way it is" then stop paying attention alltogether. Do Vancouver fans deserve it? 40 years of faithful team support through tough times says yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUCKS4CUP 28 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Bruins fans 2 years ago? Who else really has this situation? Who has had a great team for a few years,has two #1 quality goalies and has watched goalie #1 absolutely meltdown in 2 playoffs leading to second round losses? Despite Luongo's greatness, he is still often the 2nd best goalie in the series' that we win. There is lots to question about Luongo when it comes to the important stuff. It's hardly just a Vancouver opinion either. Listen very carefully to EVERY media outlet discussing "how long is the leash". Come on kids, man up. You've let the media and other fans beat you down so badly you're agreeing with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooBie604 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 To the fans that say we pay for the ticket so we are allowed to do whatever we want. When you take a girl to an expensive dinner do you also get pissed if you don't get laid afterwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Toronto and Montreal are really the only ones on that list that are worse than us. Not too long ago Vancouver was said to have the best fans, now only a few short years later the Canucks have the WORST fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetica Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I believe the big bucks are there because they have highly specialized skills AND dangerous jobs. If people don't like how much they get paid, watch something where people volunteer their time and bodies for your entertainment. Good luck finding something. Big pay doesn't entitle people to treat them like they are scum for having a bad day. Nor should it blind people to reality and be used to justify giving them blanket blame for anything we don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
