So, the fans are responsible for this team not winning a championship (and not making the playoffs this year, getting swept in the first round last year and out in 5 in the first round the year before) and all because a few dozen fans (compared to likely over a million supporters in the province and 100s of thousands in Vancouver) post some criticism/trade-demands of Ryan Kesler! Wow! Are you like, 12 years old?
The way you got it figured, the Canucks management make decisions about team personnel, and NHL players and their agents make career decisions worth millions of dollars based on what us geeky hockey-obsessed fans do on a Canucks forum. Do you seriously believe that Kesler stays or goes because of what is or isn't said on this forum? Do ya think that two years ago, Mike Gillis decided to replace Luongo with Schneider because of a thread right here? Then decided to trade Luongo, then decided not to trade Luongo, then didn't want Schneider anymore and showed him the door and was sweet on Luongo again, because of a thread right here? Then decided he wasn't sweet on Luongo either and replaced him with Lack and then traded Luongo for a bag of pucks, all because of a thread right here on Canucks Community Forum? And that Gillis fired Vigneault, hired Tortorella, then got fired himself, along with Tortorella, all because of some trolls doing the bidding of "eastern media" (I hope I don't need to get into the specifics of what right-wing conspiracy nuts usually mean by this euphamism)?
Do you really believe that Vancouver fans are the only ones who call out underperforming players, poor management decisions and coaches who can't motivate their team? Do you think Oilers fans and Maple Leaf fans aren't frustrated. Have you read the TSN comments after the Leafs late season collapse. Some of those harsh words on TSN.ca were from Leafs fans, who btw have supported an endless parade of crappy teams, paid the highest ticket prices in the league and still haven't been to a cup final in over 40 years. Maybe the Leafs should blame the "eastern media" too. Ooooh, its all just a big conspiracy, oooooh!
