Join the real world...it happens in Montreal..Boston and anywhere where peeps want their team to win 2.. It could be another decade..its hockey 3. That may happen..buit it all goes in cycles..if everyteam had a pavel bure..it just wouldnt work..and they just dont come along that often. 4. me either 5.

Absent Canuck Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I just hate seeing certain fans do things that make us all look bad I don't want to wait another decade for another finals appearance I just want to see another superstar on our team I just don't want to hit the 50th anniversary without a cup I just want the team to tank for mcdavid Tank time goes quicker than we think. 3 years tank time . We get 6th overall then realistically top 5 next year and then top 5 after that. only 2 more years. Sure beats 10 years of making the first and second round and drafting in the late teens and mid twenties. For that reason I am happy for the Rangers. When is the last time they made the finals or drafted in the top 5 In fact, if the Rangers meet the Hawks in the finals.............it will be the first time in their 80 plus year histories that they will play for the Stanley Cup. That is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I always say to myself is that when this team does finally win, it will be the most glorious victory in all of sports. Our level of suffering as fans has been epic.

hlinkas wrister Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Chin up shaky. It could always be worse- my buddy is a 42 year old leaf fan and he's never gotten to see them make the stanley cup finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have a hard time being a fan sometimes....but hey...I have been for about 35 years. Some perspective here: First off, it goes without saying that every team in every sport has no shortage of idiots among their fan base. As a whole, ours is no worse or better than any others—all have fans at both ends of the spectrum. Secondly, we're also talking about an internet forum; again, no shortage of idiots and no different than other forums, regardless of subject. Thirdly, as much as we all love our Canucks (for however long we've been cheering for them), it doesn't change the fact that we're talking about a professional hockey team. There's many more important things in life than this. I also want to see the Canucks win a Cup before I die (and at my age and health status, I have reason to be concerned). But if it doesn't happen, I don't think that's going to be foremost in my mind when I reach my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawkdrummer Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah, my first Canucks game was at the "brand new" Pacific Coliseum, it the old Western League not the NHL. Buckaroos, Totems, Roadrunners, Gulls, Spurs etc. Been a fan for a long long time. I sincerely hope Trevor gets this ship on the right course and if having to wait a little longer for the right people then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
