That’s how other teams’ fans think. Because ..... some fans live in the real world while other have family members called Polly Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, I've supported the team and had Season tickets since 1973 and I can tell you there's been a lot of bad hockey in those years. The Pacific Coloseum was frequently half full and there were serious talk about moving the franchise, but I hung in, I'm sure you can recall those times Edited October 22, 2021 by Fred65 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then move down to cherry seats because they’re mostly empty. It was funny to watch the mass exodus of fans during the third period too. The rink was mostly empty to start the game and to finish too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people aren't real fans and not because they are negative its because they actively cheer for the team and players to not do well so they use that as proof they are right. They also constantly move goalposts and jump on fake news and spread it knowing it's bs. Look at the Ian Clark situation, it was reported he was 100% not coming back, Benning said that wasn't true, two weeks later he's signed. Or how TG screws up development of the young kids even tho at least 1 rookie has taken a spot every year since 2016-17 and by having Hoglander on the third line was akin to killing puppies. Ironically the two games he played on that line we've won both. I dunno man, being a fan is supposed to be about getting enjoyment and a sense of community, what's the point of watching something that only brings joy through failure? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patel Bure Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Tell me that I’m wrong: Klimovich performing above and beyond expectations this season would allow the Canucks to use their 2022 1st as a trading chip to bring in another young asset that can help this team for both the short term and long term.

Unless you're trading that for a top pairing RHD no way should we be looking at moving that pick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that there are many on this forum who are fully satisfied by this scenario. Its sad to me when anyone yearns for failure but I understand it when balanced with the satisfaction they derive from being "right". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not one for one, but something around that. We get a young RD that has already shown a bit of promise. I’m assuming that this point that guys like Seider, Schneider, and Dobson are untouchable and so Conor Timmins was kind of my last bastion of hope.

Not really. But he helps makes up for trading our first two years in a row. FOR SURE I feel we cannot trade or 2022 1st unless it’s a very special trade that brings in young stud rhd that’s a sure thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolution is very clever, it elicits life serving action in two ways: successful action generally results in pleasure; unsuccessful action results in pain. Successful action over extended time generally yields happiness, and the failure to live well, misery. Can you imagine what a screwed up world it would be if those incentives were reversed? Clearly not, but then that would appear to be the world most people live in, today, or at least say they want to live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
