Yes only Leaf fans do that. No other fan base or media group in any other sport has gushed at the idea of a homegrown star, one who hasn't outright said "NO", in possibly coming home. Nope, just the Leafs. I know I certainly never heard the local media or fans around here discussing players like Joe Sakic, Paul Kariya, Shea Weber, etc coming home on the flimsiest of statements lol. And you know that they weren't getting excited over the words you put in quotations.
lol. But you have people here who take an obvious attempt at sarcasm, with an obvious photoshopped image and a ridiculous scenario where Bozak is placed ahead of Stamkos on the depth chart and take it as serious so I don't know.

Phaneuf deal I'm fine with considering the role he has on the team, the minutes he logs, having to play on his off side, etc. Over time, with the cap going up and players of a similar/lesser calibre earn as much or more , his contract gets easier to take.

lol relax Bouncing Bettys

you are posting in a Vancouver dominated board. what else do you expect? for everyone to cheer you and the leafs on? just prepare to be trolled

everyother non-local fan posting on a local fan board i am pretty sure gets about the same treatment

He's injured ... No point in signing him until he can actually play and prove he has at least an outside chance of getting a look when the NHL season kicks off.

^True... I'm actually pretty excited to see how these prospects pan out over the next few years. Virtanen, McCann, Horvat, Shinkaruak, Cassels, Gaunce, Jensen.

It is what it is.

Virtanen just signed his contract for you hippy motherfkers

i'd be surprised if reimer plays out his 2 years in toronto

Who takes a goalie that isn't good enough to be a starter and is too expensive to be a backup, though?

sounds like its a perfect fit for the Leafs :)

Canucks now offering dating services.

Trevor Linden?s Twitter account wants to hook you up

Obviously a team that thinks hes a better option then what they currently have. My bet is Winnipeg.

Pavelec isn't good, but who do you offload that shitty contract on?

Also, is Reimer any better? Short spurts, sure, but he hasn't been able to keep it up over long stretches ...

in case it gets flagged down:

Rabble rabble rabble

Supply and demand.

No one wants to watch hockey in the States so you can get Panther's season tickets, a jersey and a handjob from their President of Hockey Operations (and Handjobs) for a couple hundred bucks.

Everyone wants to watch hockey in Canada so you have to sell your organs and children to get a seat.

It's not personal, it's just business. I wouldn't do business any different than Aquaman so I can't hate. Maybe I wouldn't steer towards PR shitstorms like he does but still, business is business. The Canucks aren't a charity.

Just another grumpy fan that can't afford hockey tickets and thinks taking his anger out on Craigslist will help progress his agenda.

Hockey is like NFL in Seattle, wherever a sport is #1 in that city, it will cost an arm and a leg watch live.

He should go watch the Lions play instead, they've won a Grey Cup. :lawl:

If you're going to rant and expect to be taken seriously, at least use proper grammar.

Can't afford to watch live. Watch at home in HD. Unless that guy complaining only has SD then shit lol

Plus I've seen upper bowl tickets nowadays for 100$ a pair. Sure it's not as low as other US teams but it is what it is. I personally will never pay 400 a pair of lower bowl regular season tickets. I'd rather fly to Vegas lol.

I used to buy single seats for really cheap, and this was during the main WCE hype days. Usually in the lower bowl... Fun times! Do they still do that?

Still would watch HD hockey at home over live anyday. But I'm just strange.
Last time I bought a Canuck merchandise was when Canucks was up 2-0 in the SCF.

Must have jinxed it. So :fuckthatshit:

I'll be going to at least 4 games this year ... Hopefully Canucks Fantasy Hockey will have tickets within the same season again like they did several years back ... Would love to go to more ...

I don't live on the Mainland anymore, so even the tickets I win end up costing me hundreds of dollars ... No way am I paying on top of that ...

I went to the crazy Bruins game where we scored like 8 goals. Best regular season game I've ever seen. A guy that we met on the skytrain scored tickets at the last minute for $40 and he just missed 10 minutes of the 1st.

And this was a Bruins game so I'm guessing you can get last minute tickets for $20 to Edmonton or something. That seems like a pretty economical way to see the game. Can't get tickets? Well, better luck next time...drop in one of the zillion sport bars around there.

A lot of people feel that way, I'd much rather watch hockey at home then in the arena as well. The only exception would be the playoffs, the atmosphere during playoff time is something awesome to take in and it does add to the experience of being at the game.
