There was a riot after all. I know most people don’t know about this because it never gets brought up, but there was. Every other fanbase sits around having tea and crumpets and discussing what good sports their players are, while Canucks fans just burst into the room and piss on everything. The strangest thing about it is that Canucks fans are also incredibly fairweather and casual. Doesn’t make a lot of sense since they’re also psychotic rabid lunatics regarding the team, but I don’t make the rules. The people who describe the terribleness of the fanbase do. Another weird thing is the only fans who are exceptions to this phenomenon are the ones who actively spend their time telling other fans how bad they are. I don’t how it works but for some inexplicable the reason the only good Canucks fans are the ones who will tell you how bad Canucks fans are, because they don’t count.

Gawdzukes Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 1 minute ago, DeNiro said: So we should be praising him for holding out for more money and then dissing the fan base after he leaves? In what fan base would that happen. Welcome to sports! No need for praise if you don't want but hating an honest hard working player who dedicated a good portion of their hockey career to the Canucks is just beyond silly. Talk about childish. Sheesh, some people are aholes and deserve a little disdain but Bo ... I don't get it. He's about as non-controversial as it gets as far as human beings go. Are we supposed to hate him because Allvin traded him and he signed a massive dream contract that was offered to him? Wow, just a big reach to hate on some one like that. Seems unhealthy and completely misplaced. I am pretty much mystified on this one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 14 minutes ago, Kenny Powers said: It’s sad to see fans stick up for a player, who stopped sticking up for his teammates, sold out, then put them down on national television. I guess if you have his jersey, you have 250 reasons to defend him. Probably best just to re-letter it. yes it's embarrassing seeing Canuck 'fans' on twitter defending Bo and trashing the fans/team that they cheer for just to defend him. it's bizarre. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most players show nothing but gratitude and love for their former teams. It's really disappointing that he didn't just show love and appreciation for his new fans/home without throwing us under the bus. Just not how it's generally done. Sure, he was asked a question but he really flubbed the answer. Bo has been the spokes person for the team for several years. He knows exactly, what reaction this would get, amongst this fan base...

If you'd bothered to read the article, you'd have found that the person who wrote the article did the legwork for you in confirming the massive amounts of negative/hateful social media posts & comments directed at him after that hit. Unless you choose not to believe the person who wrote the article. In which case, those comments & posts were (are still?) part of the public record. Except what you fail to realize is that this is not unique to Vancouver or even hockey. You don’t actually think this doesn’t happen in other markets and even other sports do you? Cause it most certainly does. This weak attempt to tarnish Canucks fans show how much some fans need to learn about other markets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know a lot of folks slagging off previous employers come off as petty... PS. The comment was aimed at the fans in Vancouver. Go back and listen again.

The Lock Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 @DeNiro You know what? I've shown proof I'm rummaging around. It's a large forum obviously with a ton of threads which makes it hard to look through history. Not only that, no matter what I come up with, it's pretty clear you're just going to pretend things aren't true anyway; therefore, it's not worth my time. I'll be the bigger man and not continue this discussion. Know that I 100% stand by what I've said though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller would still be on the wing and Horvat probably would've kept scoring. And people would be calling for Allvin to get fired for letting Horvat walk free. Don't even mention Vancouver. No need to compare things in front of your newish fans. Just say thank you for the support and keep up the great energy. He can even say they're the best he's ever had. If you're gonna have a dig, at least make it subtle... Buuuuuuuttttt , he didn’t , shows his hockey IQ. glad he’s gone , sub par Captain. overpaid 2C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like velveeta. Absolutely. It is there though, just in bits and pieces here and there. I'm pretty sure DeNiro's just pretending it isn't there. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All fans complain and moan if it doesn't work for their team. Its called being passionate... Vancouver fans are passionate, but I never heard negative chant about Bo at Rogers. As for what fans write, if you can't take criticism, you shouldn't read the sports pages or fans forums... lol tavares left isles via free agency and left the team hanging with no compensation. horvat was dumped out of vancouver and actually gotten compensation back.. and yes he was dumped out because the management probably never had any intention of bringing horvat back to begin with thru the summer.. and then saw how he was doing in the first half of the season then thought ok maybe we should bring him back if we offer him what we shoulda offered in the summer. completely different scenario. of coz there's no negative chant about bo at the rogers arena itself. the people that go to the games are corporate suits that don't even care enough about the game.. i'm a season ticket holder.. and i can say our fans are relatively subdue and quiet compared to other teams.. and it has been like that for years... i don't recall a player that wanted to sign with the team and was traded and the fan base at least the ones on the forum continually wish him crash and burn or calling him trash non stop since the trade. literally everyday since the trade you'll find a post about him either sucking, useless, trash, greedy, overrated, soft, worse captain in the history etc etc. Edited April 9, 2023 by wai_lai416 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
