If the Canucks sign Doan, will the NHL slowly start to cheer for us, not against us?

Haters gonna hate. and i dont think theres any team in the league that doesnt have haters if thats what you mean by "NHL"

Dude, the Canucks could ice a forward line of Ghandi, Jesus Christ and the Dalai Lama and other fan bases would still find a reason to hate.

The insecurity of this fan-base is astounding...

[Smashian Kassian]

I find sometimes other fans tend to hate our fans rather than our players.

they do hate some of our players but I think they like/respect some of them too.

The biggest reason we are so hated is the fans.

Plenty of other teams are worse than our players and we are still the most hated, so the players being the reason doesn't seem to add up to me.

The Canucks already have (or had) a lot of classy players (twins, salo, many, etc). It's the players like Lou, Ryan and even though I like him burrows that give us a bad name.

Meh...regarding other fans and media...

MG wont ever get Doan or a player like Doan. It's against his rules to get a player who sticks up for his teammates.

If the Canucks just play the damn hockey game, keep their mouth shuts and stand strong, they'll be treated better. If they dive and start biting fingers, then they should expect the hate.

even if we had crosby, they would still hate us

[-Vintage Canuck-]

Not a chance. Most fans of other teams hate the Canucks because of the fans. Not to mention we have guys like Lapierre, Kesler, Burrows on the team.

[Shoot Speed/Kill Light]

My God, some sanity here.

I love my Canucks but it kills me inside when I see guys like Kesler doing cartwheels in an attempt to draw a penalty, or Burrows biting and hair pulling or any one of a number of guys who can't throw a check from anywhere but behind. Time to change that!
