Buddhas Hand Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 If anything, this league has made me appreciate other teams in the league, so the playoffs without the Canucks, assuming they don't make it, won't be too terrible. I have always been a hockey fan watched parts of many games on gamecenter , fantasy hockey has really accentuated this , i feel like i have a stake in many games. Glad to hear you had a ball going to see the Canucks , can still vividly remember the game I went to in 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Being a Leafs fan in the dark ages meant I was more of a fan of the sport than anything else. Hopped on the Canucks bandwagon because they're my local team and felt like a good choice for second. Its a shame my kind aren't much appreciated around here. People have difficulty seperating the media from the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopped on the Canucks bandwagon because they're my local team and felt like a good choice for second. Its a shame my kind aren't much appreciated around here. People have difficulty seperating the media from the team. I can only speak for myself in this regard... I grew up with my father as a Leafs fan. I am well practised at defending the Canucks from ridicule and derision from the Leaf perspective, and I have always taken joy from their failures because of it. I have been doing it for so long that I know no other way. However, I am a hockey fan first and foremost. I will always give the players and management credit when they are doing well. I went to university in Ontario and have many, many Leaf fans as close friends. I don't judge them differently on this matter. We talk hockey, they throw their barbs, I throw mine, and we can sit down and enjoy a back-to-back HNIC. I don't take pleasure in their misery when their team fails but I don't sugar-coat it either like many Leaf fans are used to being done on their behalf by the Canadian media. They are partly responsible for creating a 'bubble' around the team that is not healthy and creates a non-wholisitic understanding. You may not recognize how different this makes your understanding of your team compared to the vast majority in Ontario. With regards to Maple Leaf coverage in the media, it is disgusting and always has been, I'm old enough to remember when the eastern media would never even acknowledge that Vancouver had a team. Before Bure, the NHL ended at the Rockies. It's slightly better now but it's still a problem. The ignorance of the West, including the WHL, is palpable. Demographics only explain a portion of that. On CDC I think I am always fair….ish. I'm not a Leaf supporter, and couldn't be before the ECF at the earliest but I'm happy to have Leaf fans here. I also think it is fair to remind them occasionally whose house they are in though. PS… The Dark Ages for the Leafs? I'm not sure what you mean by that. That's been going on since Howard Ballard, the man synonymous with that concept, and I think you were lucky enough to not have experienced that.

Primal Optimist Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 same here ...once i hated the flyers for an example ...now i´m cheering for them every game ...thanks mr. mason and mr. raffl lolfurther the flyers are not that dirty team from 3 or 4 years agothere are still some teams that i stil lcant cheer for ...the Rangers (sorry PO) ,the Flames , the Bruins and the RedwingsNo offense taken.

canuck2xtreme Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Oh what I wouldn't do for a faster connection... Bought a game on Steam this afternoon, around 12:00pm. It's been downloading ever since, so about 10 hours in. Apparently there's another 8 hours to go. Good grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 buy what you like, but I will take a PC any day! I have had every consol up to and including the 360/PS4/ahhh the nintendo one we gave away to my sister in laws kid...can't recall the name...the one with the numchuck controllers...in the end we only ever used the xbox and the nintendo one to load dvd's onto our living room and bedroom tv's...and then streaming came along and ended the need for the consols. I really dig the power and diversity of my PC, and have had one since the ..yikes i guess the early 80s. My first was a VIC 20...loledit: THis guy played PONG in the 70's...hahaha....

Brunners Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Is it not a little hasty to claim a conference winner with 7/8 games to go, in the east especially. LA are about 500 points better off than the next best team in their conference so that's probably a safe bet. Florida are less than 300 ahead of NJ though, can we comfortably rule them out yet?

That's been going on since Howard Ballard, the man synonymous with that concept, and I think you were lucky enough to not have experienced that. In most major sporting leagues there is a team that has the most/ passionate supporters , and it seems everyone else hates them , Collingwood is that team here in Aus in the AFL , Manchester United in the EPL and it seems Toronto is that team in Canada. What disturbs me somewhat is the lack of respect a lot of NHL players have for each other and this permeates down through to the fan bases. Now I know this is a very physical sport where players have a lot of contact , so is AFL and these guys have a genuine respect for each other , at the end of a game they mingle, shake hands and have a chat.
