People hate JPat for the same reason they hated Botch. Botch passed away and the same people who said horrible things about him came out and said how good he was in retrospect.
I love the Canucks and have been watching since I was a kid, but I have to criticize the team when they deserve it. I'm not just going to sit in a burning house and exclaim how wonderful the drapes are.
If I didn't care I would criticize or get upset, guys like JPat at least give a direct voice to a disgruntled fan base and now Green doesn't want to answer his questions which means he doesn't want to answer fan questions. Green is showing some low character not JPat.
