Kira 451 Report post Posted June 18, 2011 It's more a matter of fans being a bunch of arrogant jackasses. Proof in point, rioting after the game the other night. I know a lot of it wasn't real fans of the team, but damn, did you have to go and do that s*** and not only make your city look bad, but hockey fans in general??? I mean, come on, 100 people arrested, 150 taken to hospital for injuries - really, is that what you want people to remember about your team and its fans? 1 T.Low reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never_Retire_Steve 35 Report post Posted June 18, 2011 I was actually cheering for the Canucks every series but here's some pretty simple reasons why I would dislike the team: Mouth piece Lapierre Piece of s*** Burrows (Do Canucks fans even like Burrows?) Sedins just taking punches and the rest of team just allowing the opposition to take advantage of their best players The team that dives the most (including teams that compete in the sport of diving) The way some of them handle the media and call out their own players (Kesler) No one really on the team that stands out as "super likeable" But I still don't hate them and like them more than Boston but the above should give you a start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 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) Honestly I like a handful of players on that team and have been of many Canucks players over the years. I'm a big Kesler fan, though less so with the diving this playoffs. But in my experience with Canucks fans this season, both online and in person, they've largely proven to be obnoxious and condescending. They act like no one understands the game of hockey as well as they do. And beyond that, have some weird need to get fans of other teams to agree that the Canucks are a great team. It's bizarre. Add to that the way the Canucks played during this playoffs. The frequent diving, especially by the Sedins (it seems to be mostly Henrik) is embarrassing. They're certainly not the only guys in the league doing it, but I always hate when talented players flop like that. Kesler too. Then Burrows and his biting. Torres out running guys. It was a disgrace to the sport. Add that all together and it makes for an easy team to hate. Or at least root to lose. I have to admit I did get some joy thinking of all the arrogant a-hole Canucks fans I've run across this season suffering as their team choked in game 7. Just goes to show dominating in the regular season does not equal the Cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Wings Addict 787 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 Personally, I don't feel bad for him in the slightest. His play, his comments, his attitude - nothing to respect there from my standpoint.

BigWillieStyle 662 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 At least he only let in 23 goals over 7 games and not 24 goals. Actually, only 20 goals. 2 were on Schneider, one was an EN. That should give him something more to smile about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what makes it even funnier. The cap hit is lower because of length of contract, but Luongo got paid $10 million this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pucktividi 472 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 I don't hate them but neither like them.The way they behaved on and off the ice this year's Playoffs is pretty pathetic and the best of all is that they talk about stepping up in the SCF next year like it's sure thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 As a Wings fan, I don't give two flying figs about the Canucks one way or the other. The only team I care about is the Red Wings. If you're not the Red Wings, you're basically meaningless to me. So it's incredibly irresponsible to think, even by some small measure, that Wings fans in toto have some seething, burning hatred for your hockey team. It's not like you're a Penguins fan. People here are not the barometer by which all other Wings fans are to be measured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His play, his comments, his attitude - nothing to respect there from my standpoint. He is still one of the best goalies in the league and he clearly has sort of psychological issue in the playoffs. Also, what do you mean his comments and attitude? He seems to be one of the nicer guys in the league and I think he has always had a good and positive attitude from what I see. Was what he said about Thomas really that bad? He'll be averaging $5.5m for the next 11 years. I don't feel any sympathy for him, regardless of how terrible he may play at times. He should be getting 10/year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DesertWing 11 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 Canucks' fans hate every team that isn't Vancouver. They have a strong hatred for Detroit because of our success (and they're still pissed about the 2002 comeback). I've been to a number of DET-VAN games at G.M. Place (pre-name change)and the fans were pretty bad every game (typical "Red Wings suck!" chant, people wiping their asses with Detroit Red Wings' flags, making remarks about the crime rate in Detroit, etc). I've never seen a franchise with 0 championships that felt such a sense of entitlement as I've seen with Vancouver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
