Loyalty questions for Canadian Wings fans

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

:thumbup: Agreed.

Here's a question: Who would you rather have win the 2010 Gold Medals; Stevie Y and Chris Pronger, or Brian Rafalski and Brian Burke?

First off, coaches and GM's ( quite wrongly imho ) don't win medals.

Second, f*** Brian Burke, I hate Brian Burke with the passion of a thousand exploding suns. Ugh, I hate that man. I hate every team he is with when he is with them, I hated the Canucks when he was there, I hated Anaheim when he was there and I hated toronto, well... since I was born, but I have found a way to hate it more.

Now, if you ask me which COACH I like more and think has done a better job, thats Ron Wilson all the way, and I have no issues saying that as a Canadian. Even if he is coaching the worst team in the NHL.

I set aside all meaningless rivalries when it comes to international play and get behind every player that has ever worn the Maple Leaf. How a Canadian could hate Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf right now is beyond me. I have an enormous amount of pride in our country, our system and our continued success at every level of international hockey. As stated above, nearly all "hatred" in hockey stems from jealousy of the player's skill or ability to dominate your own team.

This. When it comes to international hockey, it's all about your country. If they need to ice players I normally root against to get the job done, than so be it. GO CANADA GO!!

I hate them when they are playing for their respective clubs. That is it. It is easier to get pissed at the ones I don't like during the regular season when they aren't playing good. I wanna look at Perry's uglt face and see a gold medal around his neck none the less. Country over club.

I didn't read the whole thread but who are you telling to get out? No Canadian fan on this board lives in the states or wants to live in the states.

Edit: Except for Shady Ultima. :P

Brian Burke's lifetime of evil transcends the 20 minutes or so you hold your breath when Pronger is on the ice. It's amazing how two weeks ago, everyone wanted to force Raffy to waive his NTC and play in Florida or somethign and now he's Bobby Orr.

If I really wanted to cheer for the Wings, I'd have hitched my bandwagon to Sweden.

You're telling me that Herb Brooks had nothing to do with the 1980 US Gold Medal? :blink:

No, I think he means the coaches don't actually recieve a medal for their efforts when the team wins like they do with a Stanley Cup ring.

That's wrong. I'm a Canadian born fan, living currently in the U.S. with my wife. But I'm rooting for Canada, and she's rooting for the U.S obviously.

I don't have a problem rooting for players I hate normally, because when they're wearing the Maple Leaf, they represent the country, not the NHL team they play for. I hate Pronger for his history against the Wings, but love him for his play in the Olympics/

I dont get how people can say they wanna see Canada lose when theyre Canadian just because of the players on the team?

If you go for the states you have people like Kane or Kesler a couple classless dbags. Finland has jarko rutoo I'm pretty sure(?), allt hese teams have guys that are hateable I don't see why Canada should have an exception maed to be cheered against.

I'm with you. I don't see how anybody could cheer against Canada because of a couple players they dislike.

Maybe I'm wrong but I dont know that anyone is really saying that they are saying they'd flat out cheer against Canada as a whole somply because of a few guys they hate. I think it's more they would rather not see those players they hate succeed but that doesn't imply Canada as a team can't succeed.

For example, for everyone who hates Crosby but wanted Canada to beat Russia the other night it must have been pretty sweet to see Canada light up the Russians without Crosby getting like 4 points and dominating all night long.

You can cheer for a team while not wanting certain players to stand out. It's kind of a double edged sword but I never said it made any sense....it is what it is.

It's kind of like many ppl on this site love Jonathan Toews but since he plays for our rival Blackhawks probably want to see Tows light up the NHL and put up sick numbers and play super well all while the Blackhawks lose. It's tough to have it actually happen but that's what we'd all like to see.

Just as long as Crosby stays off the score sheet and off TV, I can handle the rest of the team for one or two more games. I think this tournament is showing everyone that Crosby isn't the end all and be all of Canadian hockey players. Personally I am enjoying watching Getzlaf, Perry, and Nash.

I've been neutral, and have enjoyed it.
