Not A Fruit Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 you surely must be a bandwagoner if you don't appreciate what Luo has done for this team or how professional he's acted. That, or you were a fan of Cory, not the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BedBeats™2.0 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Im into it. I think a cross section of Canuck fans are complete idiots. I have zero problems telling them in real life. Amazing how many people just simply cannot enjoy this team. It is mind-boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rounoush Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I stay positive myself but I find people who are passionate about things will be extremely critical as well. This is the internet as well and positive stuff just isn't posted. There's nothing entertaining about positivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kryten Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 IMO the positivity vs negativity threads are thoughtless and pointless as neither side offers any insights that can be disputed or proven, especially when targeting a specific player. Hockey is a game of ups and downs, negatives and positives. It isn't one or the other, it's both. If you can't take a little negativity or enjoy a little positivity concerning a certain player, you probably shouldn't be a fan of hockey (that and you should learn what the actual definition of bandwagon is). What also doesn't help are the posters who call everyone idiots because of a few trolls, you are no better than they are as you offer as little in substance as they do. If you care and want to improve the fanbase, try talking hockey without throwing around insults (let the trolls burn themselves, they all get banned in the long run).

smithers joe Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 i don't mind fans showing their frustrations for someone's plays or mistakes, or coaches and owners moves....it is when those negative comments, disrespect a person's character or personal life. being a fan doesn't mean you have to agree with everything that happens, but a lot of derogative comments are used to describe gillis' moves....he will make mistakes from time to time but he is still better at what he does than any of us.... personally, the only canuck i've ever bad mouthed was mike keenan. this team is out trying to win for us and them...we should respect that fact....criticize if you have too but remember their motives are pure.

Mangoes Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 WE HAVE TO BE MORE POSITIVE FOR LUONGO!!!!!! He has been through a lot. Actually a lot of members are hating Luongo. Luongo is the heart of this Canuck team. I agree with some of you that Schneider has a lot of potential to be better than Luongo but past is past. Schneids has been traded. We have to accept that we have a All Star Goaltender here with our Canucks. SUCK IT UP AND STOP HATING LUONGO! WE HAVE TO BE POSITIVE AND LOVE LUONGO.HE WILL BRING THE CUP HOME THIS YEAR TO OUR CANUCKS. GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Line Juggler Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 What I am feeling is not so much an issue with being negative or positive. What is needed is a new clear team identity and cohesiveness. The team needs to come together and be inspired again. They have lost their grit, determination and vision since Game 7 SCF. They need to press the team "reset" button emotionally and psychologically and erase their memory bank from the 2011 Finals. I think I would like to see Kesler be the Captain and be our first line Centre. These are the forward pairings I would like to see: 1) Kesler and Daniel (offensive pairing), with Kassian/Higgins 2) Henrik and Burrows (offensive pairing), with Jensen/Booth 3) Richardson and Hansen (defensive) with Weiss 4) Schroeder / Gaunce and Higgins (offensive / defensive) with Sestito Lines 1 and 2 are interchangeable, ie Twins and Kesler/ Burrows As are Lines 3 and 4. These guys can move up and down the line up: Kassian, Weisse, Booth, Jensen, Sestito, Schroeder / Gaunce Re-unite Sedins on the #1 Power Play. I just think there needs to be a fresh approach to the lineup. Keslers grit and determination in the playoffs last year, combined with Torts style seems to be a hand in glove fit. I think splitting up the Sedins will give our team more bite, and make us harder to play against. AV would never split them up. But look at Henrik's point production when Danial was injured a couple years ago. Henrik scores more goals without him and still gets assists. The reason I like Daniel with Kesler is because I think Daniel has the ability to be more of a set-up guy for Kesler. Splitting the Sedins up also makes them faster. The obvious thing is to keep the Sedins together, but we need a new dynamic and outside the box approach in order to make this "reset" work.

Silfverberg Snipes Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hmm, I wonder whether we'll go the Calgary or Edmonton route? Choice 1: Continuously being a bubble playoff team hoping for a miracle run. Choice 2: Quite dramatically tank and acquire prospects rivalling the Kane's and Karlsson's of this generation.

TimberWolf Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 My only argument is if you are having fun or not. This is a hobby, if it is making you miserable then pick a new hobby. Plenty of terrible things will happen in your life without intentionally signing up for more. Nothing wrong with being critical, but you should be enjoying a pastime and not letting it get you down.
