Smashian Kassian Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 funny they keep telling us we are the best fans but then when the time come to reward those fans they give you a dollar off a ten dollar hotdog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I don't see anyone wanting things for free, what most want is a show of good faith from the owners. Considering what other teams have offered so far, the Canucks missed the boat. Discounting already crap food sure isn't the answer. How about they donate the majority of the teams profits this year to a charity that the fans choose through a vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCRenegade Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 It's pathetic, really. The Canucks had a real opportunity to display some community leadership with this. Discounts on food that people shouldn't be eating anyway, at all, and discounts on merchandise - effective walking Canuck advertisements - is what they're offering? Honestly, I would've been happy with a sincere apology from Mr. Aquilini, a la Ron Burkle, but I guess Francesco doesn't feel a need to apologize to his patrons over this. Really a shame. Makes the organization look very Mickey Mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapefruits Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 the majority of the teams profits? i like the charity idea...but lets get back to sniffing the ashphalt ..your in orbit here. The Canucks did not break any laws, or cause mass polution or heck, even riot and burn cars...what is it that the Vancouver Canucks did that they should fork over 20 million dollars for? (*assumming its like 20m, i have no idea) Your ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 This brings up an interesting thought. By "thanking the fans" with cheap food deals and encouraging people to eat at the rink, that will hurt restaurants in the area that do not need more lost business. I'm sure people will still go to restaurants in the area, but people before that would think that they won't eat at the stadium because it's too expensive may now go for the cheaper option especially with the costs of tickets in the first place. If I owned a food business in the area, I may not be too happy about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I fully expected a lockout was gonna happen half way through the first round last year. Honestly, I don't care about the owners or Bettman. I just hope they reviewed their officiating and disciplinary staff. After everything they players went through last year, they didn't deserve to get shafted by the lockout like they did. I'm just hoping my favorite sport is fixed... and by "fixed", I don't mean the NHL's standards of "fixed"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surtur Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 if we were Florida i would be upset this is Vancouver they don't have to do anything and the fans will come back. in a couple months when we are in the playoffs no one will remember the lockout.

theo5789 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 it's short term anyway. but the restaurants would rather have the season back than not. big diff in crowds on game days. i doubt any of them are complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panelguy Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Very weak and they will still make money on cheap food and jerseys. They should offer NHL Centre Ice for free , that covers fans who don't get to games live. Come on Canucks/NHL after all you locked them out!

EmployeeoftheMonth Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Discount tickets would he a mess. Pens are doing the discount for merchandise for the entire season. The Kings however have done the best thing that I have heard of yet, by donating $1 Million to the community. As for discounted food, have fun wasting even more time in line.
