Die-hard.

After tonight's effort I am ready to resign myself

Yeah I also resigned as a Canucks fan a while back, but I never posted a thread. The end to the English premier league season is just so much more entertaining than another boring ass NHL playoffs. Happy for you guys though!

You must be a big fan of watching paint dry.

I also quit supporting this garbage franchise years ago, but you don't see me posting a thread about it!

I'll certainly give you that. The drama queens that have a hissy fit and make an announcement about quitting being a fan are bloody hilarious.

If someone really wanted to make an announcement, they should print out copies and tape it to the windows of GM Place, take pictures, then send it to the press.

Using the term cringe repeatedly as a 30 to 50 yr old is not lit fam!

Bet! def not Skibidi Sigma rizz...

I think a big part of my fandom died when Linden retired. With no cup...


Edit. This looks really out if context.

This thread got me thinking what would it take to make me just cut ties with the canucks all together.

My favourites players have got some rotten endings to their Canuck stories.

Bure ran out of town.

Näslund hated and retiring a Ranger.

Linden shamed and traded and then ending up taking bullets for Benning.

Luongo ran out of town.

I think Im just sticking around.

 

[HairyKneel]

The Linden trade was a stroke of brilliance in the end.

Luongo wanted to go....... and he wanted to go after he got yanked against the Sharks.


Bure..... they absolutely did him dirty. Starting with trying to pay him in Canadian funds to not bringing back Igor from Switzerland.

I've been at big this team since I was 5 so in the last 49 years; believe me I've been pissed at management dozens of times. I guess I just never made an announcement on a message board that I was taking my ball and going home.

"cringe"/"cringey" is something people said long before zoomers hijacked it, people.

 

[M2Beezy]

If I hear one more Canucks fan here criticize our management/coaching staff/direction of team I am going to quit being a fan forever and never post here again!

Fire Roger Neilsen and not pay him so he has to sue. Like Pat Quinn, Roger never won a cup but the systems he invented and pioneered did (most famously the Left Wing Lock, aka The Trap). And he could get his players motivated. Infamously, Mark Messier had him fired in New York and he did so publicly, so this is another hidden reason Canucks fans didn't take to Messier that ownership didn't understand.

Speaking of, also the weird way Pat Quinn was fired. I honestly can't believe he stuck around as long as he did with ownership's shenanigans - like, why didn't he quit before they did that?
