I've just gotten annoyed lately with people dumping on the canucks and the whole sport of hockey just cause things aren't going their way. I appreciate having people like the folks on this forum to talk about my favourite team The bandwagon phenomena became painfully obvious a few years ago when the board slowed way down once it was apparent that the Canucks weren't going to make it back to the Cup Finals. I remember when I used to lurk a couple years before registering in 2012. It was one of the heaviest used message boards I had ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 In my relatively short life this is the lowest I've seen the Canucks, but they are my team so you toughen it out and support the team. It'll pay off down the road when we see the fruits of management's labour. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4quality Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 could be worse, we could be the Sabres... Long time losing franchise with only one cup appearance. Yes it's tough now, it was tough in the 80's to early 90's, then the ughhhh Messier days, but, it can't always be bad...can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to go over my reasoning with a putz from Toronto.

Let's just end it on you were wrong about the Sabres considering percentage-wise they are in the Top 5 at least in the regular season. Next time at least do a Google search before you blindly and ignorantly strike out at someone or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4quality Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Don't make fun of my city, and I wont make fun of your country... besides winning percentage is only as good as your last cup...so we're both losing on that end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been angry with it for a long time and it got worse after the most recent election. I'm not uber-nationalistic to the point where I delude myself into thinking that the country is perfect and is under an umbrella of manifest destiny. A Cup is the ultimate goal, but in lieu of one, I'll be happy with my top 5 all-time regular season winning team. The 70's, 90's, and 00's were very good to the Sabres. The 80's and especially the 10's, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtrooper Steve Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Canucks are our team. Yes, it hurts when times get rough and the product on the ice is lacking but battling through the tough times makes the eventual betterment of the team all the more sweeter. The ups and downs are part of being a sports fan and a die hard. GO CANUCKS GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Think and thin good or bad Quinn or Keenan I'll be there riding the Canucks roller coaster. what others choose to do isn't my concern they'll be welcome back in 3-5 years when the team is the hot ticket in town once again.

If my memory is correct they were the cream of the expansion crop, with the Picard brothers turning Philly into the bullies because they pushed them around so much. The most famous picture in hockey was Orr scoring and elimanted the Sabres.... Hasek team was pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 1 year old when the Sabres played the Flyers for the Cup in 1975 so I'll have to take your word for it. My memory of the team begins in 1980 when I was 6. There were some lean years in the 1980's. Punch Imlach built the 1970's team that played for the Cup. John Muckler built the Hasek-led team that went to the Cup Final in 1999. Then the rule changes post mid-2000's lock-out helped produce an excellent team that went to the Conference Final two years in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a great fanbase here...a mix of all different types. We're resilient and, when we do finally get a cup, we're going to celebrate like there's no tomorrow. We have learned patience and to lean on each other a lot. Man, I love you guys. *tear* don't tease me Deb lol.. a cup... hmmmm i listened to my first canucks game on cbc radio from the prince george area in 1974 and my first watched game was a black and white small tv... so it might give me a heart attack IF we actually won one, the wagoneers are a dime a dozen for any team in any sport but if a sport is this good and your always rooting for the under dog then it makes it a challenge, that and a pretty good game "usually" over the years and entertaining that's for sure! We actually have a farm team now that's actually not covered in dust for a change so things are looking up more then the op maybe realized, if we can get tougher high end talent for this team soon and use what we have now in players PLUS guys from the farm, we might have not only a REALLY good team but depth to take a run through rounds of grueling playoff rounds and actually get a cup because of that. THAT would make my day! ermmm year! ummm lifetime? hmmm yes as long as we get ONE! just one is all i want! lmao!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. It's pretty funny seeing all the "fans" who apparently hate the players, coaches, management and owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
