Dear Anti Bandwagonerpurplemonkeydishwashers:

Why the hate?

What makes celebrating the canucks victory entitled to only the die-hard fans? The die-hard fans who have watched every game since 94 and know every lines states the canucks ever had?

I hear all this hate from team 1040 and read a few posts and blogs on the internet about this hatred towards non-die hard fans who have suddenly purchased canucks merchandise.

Now, if you consider yourself a true canucks fan, I'd like to know why would you hate a part of the most essential component of the league? Without the bandwagon jumpers, where would the franchise be? What kind of players would we have? Who'd pay for Luo's 10 mil base salary (not counting endorsements)? This money just doesn't appear out of thin air, it has to come from somewhere.

The Stanley Cup was never about money, but without the bandwagon jumpers, there's no financial incentive to play for the cup.

Lastly, to the "true" canucks fans, please pardon the rest of the 80% of people that will be out celebrating the canucks imminent victory tommorrow. I'm sure the bandwagon jumpers won't intend on pumping air in your tires.

[jeedee]

[mmmk]

I admit, back in 94 I was a bangwagoner.
But since that playoff run, I've been come a real fan.

I guess everyone needs to start somewhere.

With that being said, what's the point of your thread?

[TOS'd]

You were never trolling, just stupid.

[BinsentoW]

I dont mind bandwagoners, but there are WAY too many fake jerseys out there right now.

[oldcracker]

I'll tell you why real fans hate bandwagoners.

First off, it's because of how they talk when Canucks are being discussed. They talk like they know everything but once something that is common knowledge to most real fans is brought up, they are unaware and then it's quite hilarious.

Secondly, real fans don't go blaming players after each loss and asking for trades. Use the Canucks forum as an example, it's filled with bandwagoners. After every loss, the servers go down because tons of fans are asking for trades/call ups and etc. Fans that expect Canucks to go 82-0 in the season and then 16-0 in the playoffs are just plain dumb. Even the best teams lose once in a while but fans don't seem to understand this.

Thirdly, the amount of blame on Luongo shows how much you don't understand the game. Most of the time, the goals are a result of terrible defensive coverage. Bandwagoners will just blame Luongo because he's the easiest guy to blame. He's the goalie. Anyone with any sense of how the game works knows that the defense was just poor. However, I will admit Luongo had a terrible game against Boston yesterday.

If you want to know why real fans are hate bandwagoners, listen to Team 1040 after a loss. People that call in are ridiculously ignorant. Who suggests Schneider to start game 7 over Luongo? Are you serious? The only reason we're in the SCF is because of Luongo. If it wasn't for his save on Patrick Sharp in game 7 of OT, we wouldn't even be here. This is Luongo's team, not the rookie's. Such dumb suggestions are one of the few reasons as to why real fans hate bandwagoners.

P.S - When the Nucks are losing, bandwagoners or people who weren't fans would say, why are you watching the Nucks? They suck.

Well why are you all watching now? Hypocrites.

[!YaoShi]

Because they take up all the bar space and force real fans to go to get a spot friking early. Where were these people during the regular season. Why am I going to places 2 and a half hours early for just a spot to watch a game?

What annoys me even worse is that they go there to socialize and not watch the game or even know how to watch the game.

And because bandwagoners ask why do people hate bandwagoners.

Can't argue with the bolded above. It's just stupid and classless to go out to see a game and just socialize, only to look at the TV when everyone else in the restaurant makes noise.

Bandwagoners are much like canadian geese; when times get tough they fuck off to the south and when things are goin well again, they come back. But does that make you especially entitled to being able to view the canucks games??

Also, is it possible to view this supposed hypocrisy as an efficient way of allocating your dedication?

Or what about the other side of the coin - canucks fans who watch every single game, even if they have an absolute dog poo of a season, are just stubborn fans.

When the leafs were big and canucks were shit, were you rooting for the leafs? Does that make you a bandwagoner? Does the fact that the leafs share the same national origin negate the fact that you're rooting for a different team?

With all the double standards anti-bandwagoners, or "true" canucks fans, have, it seems that they are just as ignorant as the bandwagoners themselves.

Uh no. Fans that watch regardless of whether the Canucks have a good/bad season watch because they enjoy the sport. Some people are hockey fans first, Canuck fan second. It's a great sport. Learn to enjoy it rather than just watch because they're "winning".

I don't know who you're talking about, but most Canuck fans hate the leafs and would not ever cheer for them. I cheer for them to make the post season, but would I ever cheer them on more than the Canucks because they were winning? Heck no. I know a few people who are like that and that is straight up bandwagoning. Few years ago he was cheering for Detroit, then Chicago, and now the Canucks. I asked him why he cheered for the Canucks this season. He said because they had the most points. I laughed

[b0unce. [?]]

stop making new threads you faggot

[unit]

if you talk about how much you hate bandwagon jumpers, you can get people to believe that you're a "REAL" fan. seems like the going trend lately.

EXACTLY, like I have no issue with the people that are all of a sudden becoming canuck fans its normal imo, the team is doing well so naturally they wanna be apart of it fine that's all good, they are at the end of the day bringing in the team revenue and maybe some day develop into a real fan. The issue I have is when these guys actually try to sound like they know their shit. They are usually the first guys to blame the refs, certain players, and shit like that when things are not going the Canucks way. I guess it just gets a little annoying and ridiculous having to hear the amount of arrogance and stupidity from these guys everyday.

[Nightwalker]

I'm a bandwagoner, sorta. I don't really watch sports but I'll watch a few playoff games and support the Canucks for the Stanley Cup.

[!YaoShi]

bandwagoners look at the score and comment on how luuu let in x amount of goals and how he sucks or choked.

fans watch the game as a whole. I just hate hearing dumb comments made by people who don't understand that its a team game.

[geeknerd]

Lol canucks fans so stubborn and possessive.

basically anyone watching a sport will make a comment whether they are bandwagoners or not.

i didnt see this anti-bandwagoner shit during the olympics? maybe it was because it was a national team but i never saw any threads about, 'i hate the people who dont watch hockey but are now cheering because we are in the finals for gold'. im sure there was people commenting about crosby etc but whatever, everyone was just cheering for the team.

im sure a majority of the people dont watch winter sports regularly, but when it was in Vancouver, our hometown that we live in, i bet more vancouverites were watching the games than ever. geee i wonder why. does that give anyone the right to say dont watch alex bilodeau win gold, u guys never followed him before so fuck off.... LOLz

hence the REAL canucks fans are so possessive. lol

anyways im a bandwagoner and aside from the fact that hometown is winning *which is more than enough reason for someone to be a bandwagoner and cheer for them* , because when they are winning they are playing better teams and the game itself is more entertaining.

i dont really know the game but im gonna say, luu sucked when it was 5 v 3(canucks) powerplay and luu got scored on, if he was any good he wouldve kept his stand andn ot get scored on during that pp. i bet schenieder wouldve blocked that many shots and more. :troll:


P.S - When the Nucks are losing, bandwagoners or people who weren't fans would say, why are you watching the Nucks? They suck.

Well why are you all watching now? Hypocrites.

lol u dum. they are not hypocrites.
the bandwagoners said 'why are u watching when they are losing and sucking', which is basically saying 'i will watch when they win and are good', and now canucks are good so bandwagoners are watching. they're actually proving what they said.

[murd0c]

This is the 3rd time I have come into this thread wanting to fail you when I have done it already dammit.

That's kinda ironic judging by your spelling and grammar. I had a hard time understanding what you were even trying to express. You took a full circle and basically stated nothing.

The clause in front of the comma already discredits anything you say afterwards. Its like listening to fox news.

[vitaminG]

As much as bandwagon hoppers piss me off, you cant go around thinking your a better fan cause youve liked them longer. Some of them will become true fans, and you should encourage them. Everyone has to start somewhere.

I hopped on the Denver broncos bandwagon in 1997, im still a huge fan of the broncos 14 years later. In fact im wearing a denver broncos tshirt right now. So am i just a dirty broncos bandwagon jumper?

[!YaoShi]

I agree with every fan has to start somewhere. Just alot of bandwagoners think they know the game and comment as if they are trying to prove to themselves and everyone around that they are not bandwagoners. I have plenty of friends right now that are bandwagoners but they say that they are and dont make stupid comments or bother the people trying to watch.

[RiceIntegraRS]

Nope, U sir are a Casual Fan which i find nothing wrong with. When the Canucks lose and thats when u start bad mouthing the team, thats when u dropped down to bandwagon fan

[Watercloset]

I have nothing against bandwagoners. It's the drunk loud mouth idiot fans who spout non-sense or try to start crap with other fanbases who annoy me.

[Gridlock]

I have nothing against bandwagoners. It's the drunk loud mouth idiot fans who spout non-sense or try to start crap with other fanbases who annoy me.

Agreed! That pisses me off so much. That "our team at the expense of all others" mentality.

Like when they were cheering in boston as the guy was taken off the ice. Not cool at all.

[Grandmaster TSE]

I have no problem with new canucks fan
but when you don't know shit about hockey and start talking shit about players after one game you need to shut the fuck up

take some time to learn the sport and things about it before you start judging anything about the canucks or hockey in general

[orange7]

since when did revscene become cdc?

I thought only post like these could only be found on cdc. :lol:

[parm104]

Most people who complain about bandwagoners don't even know the real meaning of it...When people say bandwagoners comment on Lou, or ask for trades, or shit talk players when they lose...that has NOTHING to do with bandwagoning....UNLESS the majority of people are doing it. Bandwagoning is when someone does something, BECAUSE everyone else is doing it. Not understanding the game and forming an opinion on the outcome of a game has NOTHING to do with bangwagoning.

I agree with a few other people that Canucks fan's are possessive. It seems like EVERYONE complains about bandwagoners and since everyone is doing that, who's left to actually BE a bandwagoner? In the end, you guys are true Canucks fans right?? You want what's best for the organization? Well guess what, "bandwagoners" put millions and millions of dollars into the pockets of the Canucks organization! All those people buying Canucks flags at the 2nd and 3rd rounds and t-shirts and jerseys are all creating revenue that otherwise wouldn't have been there. After all, TRUE fans have already bought their gear, right?

Also note, whether someone is a true fan or a fake fan, that has NO outcome on the actual game. The Canucks will win when they are ready and prepared for their games and will lose when they are not. It's not based on who is cheering for them and who is not. They don't win because of true fans or because of fake fans. It's irrelevant to the actual outcome of the game, so why does it matter who's true and who's not?

Lastly, the point made about blaming Lou for every loss does piss me off to. The goalie in my OPINION, is the last resort on the team. Before a goalie even comes into play, a whole bunch of people have to mess up...Forwards, defense-men and THEN the goalie...You can't expect Lou to carry the entire team...He does his job, the rest of the team has to do theirs to. Also, if Lou gets X amount of shots on him, statistically, he is BOUND to let one in...It's simple logistics. No one can expect him to save EVERY single shot on net. Then again, anyone who believes that what I am saying has no merit, they're welcome to..It's an opinion.

That being said, GO CANUCKS GO!

[jeedee]

I personally have no problem with people starting to watch hockey now, but when they make dumbass comments like "CANUCKS FCKING SUCK!" after a loss and THEN say "go canucks go!" after a win, just pisses me the fuck off.

Just like when I was at CBC Plaza on Monday. These dumbasses behind me wouldn't shut up. Just shut the fuck up and let me watch the damn game. I don't need to know EVERY play/analysis that is going on.

[winson604]

I'm a diehard Canucks fan and have been watching hockey since I was 5. Personally I don't have anything against bandwagon jumpers because in the end support is support. What I do hate are the bandwagon jumpers who think just because they have listened to what people said on 1040 or researched shiet on the internet that they are suddenly experts and actually know what the fuck they are talking about. I also hate how some people who are clearly bandwagon jumpers do not admit to it. Hey it's ok if you are just own up to it I don't care.

[BNR32_Coupe]

my question for you people: how do you know the person saying stupid shit (eg, luo sucks, sedins needs another one to make triplets, etc) has been a die-hard 94+ canucks veteran fan, or a 2 week old fan? YOU DON'T! the only thing you're doing is making an ASSUMPTION

lastly, people are entitled to whatever opinion they want. what if don cherry, hockey world's superseding opinion maker, said luo sucks? would that make him a bandwagoner?

every rebuttal made in this thread involves defining a bandwagoner as a person who has an APPARENTLY shitty or baseless opinion on the canucks.

last time i checked, a bandwagoner is a person who follows the crowd, in the case of the canucks acquiring their standing in the playoffs, a person who becomes more interested in the canucks during playoff season.

my point is stop classifying anyone who has an opinion that's different than yours as a bandwagoner.

[El Bastardo]

I have a friend who is worse. Hes a superfan who is an apologist. He'll blame everything on the refs, the other teams, hell.. even the ice.

He won't accept that Luongo has bad nights or perhaps ISN'T the best goalie in the history of the NHL. He won't look at our team from an objective point of view and realize that "Yeah, we're capable of losing games for legitimate reasons" and "Maybe we have some problems we need to iron out"

To me, he gives fans a bad name. Now, I'll admit that I've only been watching seriously since 2005 and don't know the game inside out. I don't know the stats of every player to lay stick to ice but I'll be watching regular season games and playoff games and if we get knocked out early I'll pick another team to get behind.

Apparently that makes me a "traitor". Well, that and the fact that I think that Kippersoff is a goddamned good goalie who deserves a better franchise.

Stop trying to defend your statement. I know a bandwagoner when I see one. Here's an example. A while ago, back to the Chicago series, he was talking about how we would beat Chicago easily. Every day I saw him in class he would say "We're going to stomp Chicago, I hate Toews, he's a whiner."

That's cool, he thinks we're going to beat Chicago. Nothing wrong, I thought the same thing. I find Toews a really good player but he may not like him. That's cool too. Then he talks about Byfuglien being the best D man he's ever seen so I throw out the name Lidstrom for this era. He asks me who's Lidstrom and what position he plays.

So pause there. Anyone who watches hockey should know who Lidstrom is. The thing I disliked was how he was so sure of his opinions. But hey, if he doesn't know who Lidstrom is but still cheers for the Nucks, that's cool too. But when we go on that 3 game losing streak against Chicago... he claims we lost and says we have no chance of coming back. He states that the Canucks suck. Guess what, Canucks win and now he's back cheering on saying we'll crush whoever is in the way of the Canucks.

I think it's these kind of fans that piss off people.

You didn't even read what i wrote. See, there's a guy who has a baseless opinion and is a bandwagoner. But what if he's a bandwagoner but kept his mouth shut, would you still hate him? If not, then why are you hating on bandwagoners?

If a bandwagoner kept his mouth shut, no one would really know he was a bandwagoner. The point is, bandwagoners are annoying when they speak. You can like a team when they win and hate a team when they lose as long as you keep your mouth shut. That's fine. No one cares.

If you had a valid point, and you admit to being a bandwagoner, I doubt real fans would care. They'd probably accept what you said. Valid points are good, it's the dumb inexperienced comments that are annoying.

You don't seem to understand what makes a bandwagoner annoying. If a bandwagoner is making valid points, there's nothing wrong. It's the qualities of the person that make one a bandwagoner

The clause in front of the comma already discredits anything you say afterwards. Its like listening to fox news.

really? come on. points = win in any sport. are u saying that any olympic event u watched, u know all the rules of that sport? u only watched the people/teams that u followed since their debut, and didnt watch just for the sake of cheering for your fellow canadians/home teams?

the 'true' canucks fans are so fucking clingy. they get so butt hurt when someone says, so and so sucks dick when they are losing.

instead of defending the statemenet ,they get all mad inside and come on revscene and lash out online.

its like saying, if u never owned a playstation 1,2, u shouldnt get a playstation 3. u dont know the basics of the Dpad and ○□△X how the system works fuck off. LOL.


and honestly i say im a bandwagoner cuz i know it 'pisses' off the 'true fans' and the fact that this occurs is amsuing to me. :troll:

lol ya I think those superfans may actually be worse than the guys that hop on and off every win/loss. I have this one friend he is just completely pro Vancouver and that's it. Like I've said in almost every hockey related post I'm a sharks fan and when we lost the series I had no issue giving credit when credit was due, the Canucks were the better team in the series but he was going on and on about how Canucks were dominating the sharks in game 5, if you guys recall that went to double ot with Bieksa scoring a goal that I'm sure everyone will remember for a long time. I remember arguing him at worst it was an evenly played game, I personally felt like the Sharks played better, they had 56 shots on net and I felt like they had more scoring chances but he wasn't hearing it, okay fine. Then Canucks lose game 3 to Boston 8-1, and hes on facebook making posts like Tim Thomas is terrible just very lucky saves blah blah and how Canucks were actually the better team because they outshot them 41-38 lol, like how quickly things change now a 3 shot advantage gives him the entitlement that Canucks were the better team that game. Its just like come on be realistic, give some credit when credit is due. Its like they are incapable of accepting that in the NHL there are actually other good teams in existence lol.

[boogabooga]

I don't why people get so upset over "band wagoners". Regardless, they are Canucks fans. Not die hard Canucks fans but fans nonetheless. Some people don't have the luxury to watch all the games, buy Canucks gear or remember player number and names. It doesn't mean they aren't fans. Calling out band wagoners doesn't make you any better.

Its normal for people to be jumping on and off the bandwagon. Watching hockey is pure entertainment. You get excited or upset. Emotions are at their extremes and people can sometimes react abnormal. You say Canucks are going to win the cup today but the next day they are going to lose the cup. In the end people will still watch their team play.

[elkayem]

I'll tell you why real fans hate bandwagoners.

First off, it's because of how they talk when Canucks are being discussed. They talk like they know everything but once something that is common knowledge to most real fans is brought up, they are unaware and then it's quite hilarious.

Secondly, real fans don't go blaming players after each loss and asking for trades. Use the Canucks forum as an example, it's filled with bandwagoners. After every loss, the servers go down because tons of fans are asking for trades/call ups and etc. Fans that expect Canucks to go 82-0 in the season and then 16-0 in the playoffs are just plain dumb. Even the best teams lose once in a while but fans don't seem to understand this.

Thirdly, the amount of blame on Luongo shows how much you don't understand the game. Most of the time, the goals are a result of terrible defensive coverage. Bandwagoners will just blame Luongo because he's the easiest guy to blame. He's the goalie. Anyone with any sense of how the game works knows that the defense was just poor. However, I will admit Luongo had a terrible game against Boston yesterday.

If you want to know why real fans are hate bandwagoners, listen to Team 1040 after a loss. People that call in are ridiculously ignorant. Who suggests Schneider to start game 7 over Luongo? Are you serious? The only reason we're in the SCF is because of Luongo. If it wasn't for his save on Patrick Sharp in game 7 of OT, we wouldn't even be here. This is Luongo's team, not the rookie's. Such dumb suggestions are one of the few reasons as to why real fans hate bandwagoners.

P.S - When the Nucks are losing, bandwagoners or people who weren't fans would say, why are you watching the Nucks? They suck.

Well why are you all watching now? Hypocrites.
I did think that they should've started Schneider in Game6 though. Nothing with hatred towards Luongo. I actually love him, he's a great goaltender, he has things to show for, if he wasn't good he would not be in the Olympics. But it's just I feel that Boston is not his place to play in, it shows for in Game3. You can say it's the defense but as a goaltender myself it my certain opinion Luongo made quite a bit of mistakes. I am in no position to judge Luongo's play cuz if not I'd be playing in the Canucks not him, there's a reason he's playing in the NHL and for the Canucks and not me, but as a professional he is, there were unprofessional plays he made that made me feel starting Schneider in Game 6 was reasonable. If AV really doesn't like it, hey, he could always put Luongo back in if anything.

But I agree with you that people suggesting starting Schneider in Game 7 is retarded. Luongo has been terrific at Rogers Arena.

imo the canucks are the biggest reason why so many bandwagoners exist in vancouver. they are inconsistent as fuck and they generate the criticsm that they get. A team like Boston probably has less bandwagoners becasue they are consistent in their game. If vancouver only had die hard fans rooting for the team rooting no matter how bad they played, the canucks might not be playing as hard as they are right now. For a team getting paid in the millions to play a sport, they deserve to have 'fans' ready to jump ship if they're not playing as they should.

When i went to the 8-1 game at rogers arena, i wasn't surprised at all when ppl started leaving after the 5th goal. But i was pretty surpirsed at some of the die hard fans yelling for bandwagoners to gtfo. If they're playing that bad, people have a right to leave. i dont have a problem admitting im a bandwagoner because i am one, but i keep to myself. this anti-bandwagoner stuff is pretty stupid imo because i find both sides to be pretty obnoxious at times.

I don't know if these are bandwagoners or not but I hate people who discuss about the game like they know their shit, like people saying "we all know Canucks suck in 3rd period" but wait, what? Canucks are usually stronger in the 3rd period no? Lol.

Or people who go take up space at venues/bars for the game like BP(or VP now) or Sharks Club or where ever but they aren't paying attention to the game. I've seen people at ManU bar in HongKong take up seats during Canuck games and what did I see them doing all game? They were playing with their phones. If you aren't watching the game gtfo and don't take up space for people who actually would appcreciate the spot.

This is ridiculous. Although these places are private business, they're open to the PUBLIC!...They're not reserved for "Canucks fans only." Why is it that you have to dictate how people watch the game? Why is it wrong for people to go out to enjoy the game socially? Who decides that your way of watching the game is "better" than someone else's...Are you implying that in order to be a "true fan," you must give your undivided attention to the game?

Someone else might argue if you were a true fan, you would've made an effort to get to the venue that you wanted to watch the game at earlier than those "Bandwagoners"....

Anyways, this is so stupid. LOL Why the FUCK are we talking about our FANS when we should be talking about our team that is gonna win a fucking cup tomorrow!!

OH NO YOU DIDN"T

[elkayem]

Hmm did I not say I'm not implying about anything related to being truefans or bandwagon? This is plainly just a rant from me totally irrelevant to being a truefan or not. I actually did get spots actually so I had no problem with that but if you're not gonna watch the game why come here at 8am in the morning and take up space for other people who wants to watch it? (In HK the games here starts 8am)

[RevYouUp]

lolbandwagoners...my friend told me that someone asked the sales rep if they could return the jersey if the canucks don't win the series..

[CorneringArtist]

I have a friend who is worse. Hes a superfan who is an apologist. He'll blame everything on the refs, the other teams, hell.. even the ice.

He won't accept that Luongo has bad nights or perhaps ISN'T the best goalie in the history of the NHL. He won't look at our team from an objective point of view and realize that "Yeah, we're capable of losing games for legitimate reasons" and "Maybe we have some problems we need to iron out"

To me, he gives fans a bad name. Now, I'll admit that I've only been watching seriously since 2005 and don't know the game inside out. I don't know the stats of every player to lay stick to ice but I'll be watching regular season games and playoff games and if we get knocked out early I'll pick another team to get behind.

Apparently that makes me a "traitor". Well, that and the fact that I think that Kippersoff is a goddamned good goalie who deserves a better franchise.

Your buddy is a true definition of a homer.

[InvisibleSoul]

I don't mind bandwagoners... especially since my wife is one. LoL.

She pretty much never watches or follows the Canucks during the regular season, but becomes more and more interested the further they get in the playoffs.

Round 1: Still disinterested
Round 2: Slightly interested
Round 3: Go Canucks Go!
Round 4: OH MY GOD, WE'RE IN THE STANLEY CUP FINALS!!!

[unit]

^my gf wasnt too interested in the regular season, but she is highly interested now.
however, this is her first season really watching hockey and she just learned the rules, so she can be classified as a new fan to those who care (i dont really).

i had to show her all the bure vids on youtube and linden, and explain all the 94 stuff to bring her up to pace. how bure had 31 points in the post season, how we almost lost in the first round and how mike richters name still puts a sour taste in my mouth. also how jeff brown fucked mcleans wife afterwards

[Jsunu]

At the end of the day, hardcore fans and bandwangoners will all be cheering and celebrating the cup win tonight together. There is no fan divide when a city comes together like this.

[jeff19]

^exactly. if canucks win, bandwagoners will become "fans". In the coming season they'll probalby watch more and learn more about the game, which is what they're most criticized for.

[ae101]

i dun care about band-wagoners cuz like everyone says every fan most start somewhere & i started with my dad as he was a hawks fan (hes quite sad that i was never into the hawks) but i watch every hockey game as much as possible nucks are no nucks i dun care, i just love the sport

i dun play much now but i do grab my old stick & take a few shots out in front of my garage once in a while, so in the end am i really a nucks fan? i like to think im more of a hockey fan

i duno why but i like Schneider, he is one of the best 2nd goals in the league right now & i love like him

plus i popped in jersey city yesterday just to see if i can score some cheap chicago home stuff (ex:bulls stuff, hawks stuff, bears stuff, cubs/white sox stuff) & i saw a shit load of ppl buying nucks jersey

[shawn79]

bandwagoner = luu haters

[El Bastardo]

Bring back Auld and Ruutu and I'll be a happy man

[m4k4v4li]

who the fuck cares. its a fucking free country.

waaaaaaa i dont feel special because I'm a "true" canucks fan. everyone else that doesn't understand hockey or can afford to watch and analyze every game they have played since the beginning of time isn't as cool as me!!!

get a fucking life
