I have been a hockey fan for about 30 years now, first in Winnipeg (second favourite team) and then came aboard the Canuck fanwagon just before the epic '94 run. I have been a STH for six years, but due to changing circumstances I am sadly not re-upping this next season (live in the far north, won't be travelling to the lower mainland as much these next few years, bought a house, getting married at end of May, likely babies in the future).
My fiancee is a Bieksa fan, and has seen numerous hockey games since we started dating. This past year, we caught Canucks' games in Anaheim, Edmonton, Winnipeg and of course Van. Her best comment at a game, and she comes up with a few (I love it!!) was at the Edmonton game (Smyth retirement game) where some rude fan saw our jerseys and yelled "Losers!", to which my girl replies very quickly "You have no right saying that about my team that missed the playoffs for the first time in eight years when your team hasn't sniffed the postseason in that long!" She got a whack of laughs from the home crowd and a few congratulations from Edmonton fans in neighbouring seats - so proud!
