Erik Brannstrom is a legit NHL level puck moving D

do all canadian teams' fans make random threads on main boards when one of their players is doing somewhat decently?

No different than Americans, Swedes, etc.
insert nationality here……

This sums up the frustration/annoyance of a lot of users here. They overanalyze such minuscule things about their team to the point of annoying others. Canucks fans are easily the worst imo. Habs are borderline mean/cruel. Leafs at this point, we simply feel bad for. Sens/Flames/Jets are cool.

God forbid there are more discussions about hockey on a hockey message boards. An option is to read another thread than the ones that frustrate you. Ignore thread is also an option. You've posted multiple times in this one so it surely got you discussing hockey.

I get what you mean, but I for instance, will choose to read threads like this to keep an ear on the ground to what's going on with other teams. I'm not employed to watch hockey so I can't justify keeping tabs on all 32 teams on my own.

Im just saying my opinion of why Canadian teams/fan bases get bad reps around here. This thread and every Brannstrom thread so far is an example. Every time the dude scores, he gets another thread pumping his tires. Imagine if Blue Jackets/Panthers fans did that about their random bottom pairing dman.

I like that it gets good discussion going, but more often than not, its 31 teams ripping on the Canucks and then Canucks fans circle jerking eachohter. The same schtick gets old.

Good. He can fill in for Hronek then.

Fair point.

There are a few over zealous Canucks posters for sure. I've got a slap on the wrist from a mod for suggesting a thread was Canucks board material.

I'd say it's a numbers game. The teams with the most fans/posters usually are the ones making these types of threads. From your perspective it may be a fringe discussion but EVERYTHING is covered in a Canadian hockey market. Discussing your 13th ranked prospect? sure, we can talk about it, because there are a bunch of people who actually know something about that prospect.

That doesn't really happen in Sunrise or Fort Lauderdale, FL. Not in Columbus for that matter either.

If there was a larger audience and a more "hardcore" fanbase, those teams posters would also post threads like these. Instead.. you've got 30 guys on their own board discussing things.

Not really shocking that teams with small fan bases create less threads?
