Squeak Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Kinda sad that people can only be not bored if they watch Canucks' games. That is a pretty sad life you lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Kinda sad that people can only be not bored if they watch Canucks' games. That is a pretty sad life you lead. Some people do lead sad lives and Canucks' games give a bit of relief from that. To fill you in, I got out of an abusive marriage and had two young kids to care for, so was feeling overwhelmed. Then things got really bad and I was caring for my Mom (brain cancer) at the same time as my Dad (colon cancer). After running between jobs, rushing home to cook dinner, then to the hospice or hospital for chemo treatments, there was little left in the tank for me. Canucks (and Lions) were my world beyond my kids....so perhaps not bored, but deeply miss when there are no Canucks to follow. They were an important part of my happiness on some pretty "sad" days. For some of us, it's like the air we breathe....it's a big part of our lives. So don't undermine that, despite your own intentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I have supported the team for almost 30 years so take your "bandwagoner" crap somewhere else. My lack of support goes beyond not just watching games, do you read well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odjick22 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 So correct me if I am wrong. You have been a fan for 30 years. Then out of the blue 4 days ago, you open an account here, just to say you aren't going to watch them on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odjick22 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 HAHAHA. To intentionally avoid watching games would result in boring evenings. I spend many a Friday and Saturday night having some beers and pizza with friends watching hockey. If I were to 'boycott' the NHL, I would miss out on any of the social aspects of it.

cmpunk Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm not sure if it is considered running back. Like I would run back to them and watch them. But at the same time, even when there was a lockout, i did my own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotesMagotes Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Why do fans boycott because of a lockout? We all knew the end of the previous CBA was coming up and that a new one would have to be agreed upon. Anyone with a brain saw this lockout coming a mile away. It had to be done for the games sake. Without the lockout the players would be getting fleeced and that is just not fair and i understand completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
