Why do people hate the Canucks?

[IPv6Freely 2096]

On behalf of all of north america minus BC, thank you Kings.

Let me guess, Leaf fans have jumped on the Sens bandwagon this year? Is that the consensus? Because I've already encountered several leaf fans rooting for the Sens.

[Gr8erade 1]

A little bit of fun for the President's Trophy winners. (BACK TO BACK!!!)

"At least we weren't swept." LOL!

[Brian Harte 1]

One step closer for the Kings fans to burn down the city!

[wrangler 157]

They're not interested in burning down Vancouver -- it was enough to beat them.

[Brian Harte 1]

Los Angeles.

LOL no.

Los Angeles.

Why would Kings fans burn down their city? It's completely moronic to burn down your own... er... nevermind.

[roadrunner 12]

It would take one asshole to do the same in Toronto, but of course not being in the playoffs for almost a

decade will subdue those idiot fans.

[Brian Harte 1]

LOL no.

The LA Lakers fans do it everytime.

The Kings "playoff fans" are pretty crazy in the head.

Don't really know how it will turn out though. I don't think there will be a lot of Blues fans at Staples (as opposed to Canucks fans), so I'm not sure if there will be a lot of hate in the air.

Go Kings! Go Great Western Forum!

Why are Canucks fans so desperate to have everyone like their team?

[Brian Harte 1]

Maybe they don't want everybody to like the team.

Rather, maybe they are just tired of the non-stop bitching about the team by everybody and their mother, and the neighbor too.

Who knows........

[MattyBoy 1]

Maybe everyone else is tired of the non-stop "you're just jealous of how good our team is" and "you hate us because we win".

Although, maybe we are all jealous of those Presidents trophies. Or maybe we all hate the Canucks because the Millionaires won the Stanley Cup in 1915. Yea, I bet that's probably it.

[cemetery 14]

The LA Lakers fans do it everytime.

Not that I'm justifying rioting...but the Lakers actually won when that happened. You didn't see any Laker fans rioting in 04 or 08 when they lost in the finals. Who riots after a loss, go home and take your licking haha

[Brian Harte 1]

Matty - Do the Cancuks fans start the problems by telling other people those things, or are they responding to something that was said about their team?

Seems like those are defensive measures, so I'm not sure why people would hate them for that.

Are you jealous of those trophies? Is there something else that goes deeper than this that is bothering you that we can help with?

If you really want to have a turkey shoot, go write some stuff on the Canucks facebook or their canucks.nhl.com message boards. lots of idiots there. like fishing with dynamite.

Beats me. I don't watch that sport. Too many sissies!

oh, burn.

As a Canucks fan I can say I don't like the diving or antics of some of our players too. With that said, go find me a team that doesn't have their share of that? It always amazes me how much energy people expend into hating another team or players. I support my favorite team, but at the same token I don't knock anyone else's team. Who am I to criticize professional hockey players? Guess what I play rec hockey so its laughable to me when people make fun of or say something negative about professional athletes. Besides does anyone really think by someone saying they hate this team or that the fanbase is going to turn on their team? Nope, nor do the fans care if you want to waste your time saying you hate the fans... I'd rather spend my time supporting my team, than posting and hating on another team.

As for all the riot talk, I find it pretty lame. I live in Socal and alot of people died during the riots down here. Watching the news and hearing the number of people that were killed rise, its not funny. Not one bit. Just like the riots in Van weren't funny. I think making light of the destruction of innocent people's property and lives is immature. But free speech is protected no matter how immature and distasteful it is.

With that being said, there will never be riots in LA for the Kings. The Kings beat Vancouver in epic fashion and all the news did was show a quick blurp after showing the Lakers and Clippers. That's just plain sad, the Kings deserve to be recognize for moving onto the second round. But that's how much respect hockey gets in Socal with the media. Vancouver lost to a team that played better and wanted it more(I call it like it is). It's just too bad that the Kings are in a market that gives other sports more airtime. Now how come people don't create a thread about that??? Instead of wasting their time complaining about how much they hate the Canucks... keep in mind the Canucks are off golfing somewhere and could care less...

[chippa13 1844]

The news shows what the people want. Hockey people may not like it but the Kings are not the darling of Los Angeles. If the Kings continue on their strong run and have another couple of strong seasons and post seasons then the general interest will pick up and the news will be forced to devote more time to them.

[215BroadStBullies610 435]

Yep yep. When one mentions 'L.A.' and sports, the first thing that comes to mind is the Lakers. It's a basketball town because they have won the most and celebrities are easily spotted at games. Most multi-sport cities are like that. Hockey isn't number one in Philly. There is a much larger following here than in most U.S. cities, the Flyers fall in third behind the Eagles and the Phillies. As mentioned before, the Kings just have to keep on being competitive and they will get the pub.

[Thinkingjack 51]

Why would Kings fans burn down their city? It's completely moronic to burn down your own... er... nevermind.

LOL no burning would be done, this isnt the lakers winning of the Raiders losing twice

I don't hate vancouver, i just dislike the dbag fans who act high and mighty on almost every forum board and in person at games, be a fan, not a piece of crap...but i have that issue with most detroit fans too....and of course some of the crap their players do

[Blueandgold26 1]

Interesting read. I may be biased toward Hodgson because he's a Sabre, but this article made Vancouver seem like they handled his situation very unprofessionally; and made me hate them even more.

Mike Gillis is not a very good GM. His best moves have been resigning players that were already on the team before he was hired.

[Chadd 916]

I'm hesitant to add more fuel to a fire that appears to have finally burned out, but this is going to piss off more than a few people. Even some Canucks fans are against this one.

During the hunt he tweeted, “In Alberta trying to kill a few bruins. #unleashthefury,” followed by, “Just killed a Chara-sized bruin! 7ft black bear - 21in skull.”

[chippa13 1844]

I see it more as a David Booth thing than a Canucks thing. As I like to say, hunting is the only sport where the other team doesn't know they're playing. Having said that, those folks who hunt for food don't bother me. If you eat it then by all means hunt away.
