Popular Post Odd. Posted September 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2023 Nowadays I just don’t have the energy to really watch and invest my time in hockey. I have my first child on the way and a lot of my focus is on that and family. i joined these forums as a 17 year old back in 2012 and now leavinf these boards as a grown ass man. went through a lot over the years and ive always found myself around these boards even when life has thrown curveballs at me. I was thinking of joining the new forums but i think this is it for me for now. im just not on the internet as much and i dont find myself having the energy to engage in meaningful discussions. it really was a pleasure being on these forums. Truly. I will miss so many of you. 1 10 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DeltaSwede Posted September 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2023 I joined in 2009 but I'm pretty sure this is my second account and that I lurked around for a long while before joining. Wrote it in another thread already but this place has really fueled my interest in hockey and the Canucks. Growing up I didn't have anyone around me interested in hockey and even moving back home to Sweden I still don't really have anyone. It's weird, we like hockey here and that was something I took for granted moving back. Sure people are interested but I am at that I post on forums about hockey type of level and that's really scarce from my experience, but not around here! Thanks for satisfying my needs for hockey related anything for most of my life. Shout out to @Vintage Canuck - best hockey news source in the world. Let me know when you get that donation button set up. Even if this sucks it's really nice to read through this thread and see how many people share my opinion of the place. These forums have always been my most frequently visited page on any computer or browser I've had access to over the years. The absolute go-to place for anything hockey related. I have to admit, I've always felt some sort of weird pride over how good CDC has been and it's all thanks to all of us. Pretty neat. See you on the other side. 1 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I am a married father of 2 children and just don't have the time or energy to focus on much else outside of work and focusing on my family. Thanks for the all the memories. This was a great community and it's a damn shame it is coming to an end just like that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve registered on the new forums, and this will be my last post here. Nice to see so many folks on the new site already! C’mon over everyone! I’ve had blast here over the years. GDT’s were so often more fun than the games themselves and kept me sane during some dark seasons. Adios my amigos 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey Castiglione Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I have a feeling we'll see some canucks forum signs at the games this season. Maybe we should even start calling "roger's arena" , "The Forum" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sharpshooter Posted September 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2023 Off Topic is up and running and it’s the old OT.

I recommend all the Adults Table members sign up for https://www.forumcanucks.com/ We can pick up our discussions over there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Lamora Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) As I continue to explore my options as to how I will express my Canuck fandom in the digital sphere, I find myself reflecting with some sadness that in all of our time here together we’ve never had a Cup win to celebrate. I am still wary of this new management regime and basically now my hopes for a Canuck Stanley Cup win really centers on my dad….the guy who got me introduced to hockey and the Canucks in the late 70’s. My dad is getting older, seemingly quicker with each year. I really want him to see a Cup win. Sorry for the melancholy vibes, but this forum’s shuttering just has me in a bit of a reflective malaise in regards to the (often painful) history of this club. I probably do need to set myself up at the new place for Canuck talk. That will help. But also, I’m going to be checking out bunch of training camp days over in Victoria. That should also help. Seeing the boys on the ice always has the effect of instilling some semblance of optimism. But still, what a bummer this has been.

puckstopper Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I've been a here lurking and getting my news here since 2003 when i moved to Chicago! Back then it was the hockey armpit of the world to me and nothing ever could change that opinion, even Stanley cups! These forums where a breath of fresh air and a taste of home! Going to miss all you guys and gals! Stay passionate about the things you love! Go Canucks Go! PS - look on the bright side! At least you don't have to lock your liquor cabinet anymore because of Alf! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh joy, that means continued drops of such gems as “Horfat”. Guess it was too much to hope for that the new place might shoot for a higher level of discourse, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
