KeslerFan

Troll? I said I'm a fan of the Wings players *and* the organization that runs them. THE model franchise of the NHL. In contention every year, builds their team through the draft and developing them through their farm system, and not by buying players/overpaying at the deadline. If that makes me a troll, I guess I am one.

Honest question, what did the Canucks ever do to the Wings to make them so hated here on these forums?
Pretty much everyone I've talked to in Vancouver has a ton of respect for the Red Wings and their organization (great, classy players; fantastic management). Even our own GM said they want to model Vancouver's franchise based on the way the Red Wings are run.
We don't really have any playoff rivalry, nor can I think of any incident a Canuck has done to a Red Wing to garner such hatred.. am I missing something? I'm personally a big fan of the Wings and always root for them when the Canucks are out of the playoffs; but reading the forums here makes me want to dislike the Wings because you hate us so much. (probably a very illogical feeling but likely a natural reaction)

Why would Kesler dive when the game's over and there's no potential gain?
He lost a couple bottom teeth and had 13 stitches last series. Probably hurt like hell.
edit: Oops. Didn't see RedLightGoesOn's comment above.

Kesler ate a puck to the face in the Nashville series and got some stitches... Im sure Clowe didnt love tap him but that was an obvious dive.

What a series! Great game guys. As a Vancouver fan, I'm afraid to face either team in the next round, but gotta say.. a Detroit team that has won 4 in a row against a strong Sharks team scares the absolute s*** outta me.

Because a hell of a lot more people in Vancouver care about the Canucks than any of those cities care about their hockey team. Nashville and Washington would have parking lot parades. It would be like the Lions winning a Superbowl here. Sure a lot of people like the Wings, but the Lions are way more popular.
