My resignation as a Canucks fan

[Nucklehead Supreme]

I don't mean this to sound gate keepy, everyone is allowed to do as the please and cheer for who they want, and how they want.

However to me, and again not to be gatekeepy, you do you, being a fan is always following the team. You might not like what they da, they may drive you crazy, and at times you may fade in interest. But they are always your team. This also doesn't mean you can't cheer for other teams, I know I have cheered for other teams, but still always cheer for the your team in some way. Always want the best for them.

I enjoyed the Tom watt Jack Gordon era more than this shit

 

[Killer Orcas]

Not a fan of owner but the team and will always be. I've seen plenty owners and will see plenty more but I'll always be a Canucks fan I've invested too much to bail now. Been here since 82 and seen plenty of heartache.

Loving the Canucks is about as stupid as baptizing a cat

A cat loves you back; the Canucks hate their fans.

You *think* the cat loves you back. Dogs are the ones that love you unconditionally.

My man, you just haven’t had the right ones. I still talk to a few spots in the ground.

I mean the only “forced” sales or those that were highly encouraged following some disturbing information were Richardson of the nfl Panthers, Sterling of the nba Clippers, Sarver of the nba Suns. Common denominator is that their ownership stake was theirs not part of a family like the Aquilinis.

Unfortunately our jerks have nepotismed their way all over the place.

And with the way the Canucks have spread out their money making, there would have to be a wholesale boycott to do anything to the pocket books to have them want to sell.

Maybe his ex-wife absolutely cleans Frank out, and gets his portion of the shares?

Oof.

look at this and ask yourself why you're still a fan: NHL Records

Thats hella depressing. Wonder what the stats looked like before Benning took over compared to other teams..

 

[Zanon]

see you tomorrow

 

[Ninjadude]

So dramatic. You’ll be back when they make the playoffs…. Might not be for a few years, but eventually.

 

[M2Beezy]

I feel for the OP and all fans who have been here longer than me. I wont humiliate or laugh for no longer wanting to be a fan, as its frustrating. Maybe @BORAT53 is more of a fan than blind followers who are trying to antagonize the OP for venting his/her frustration. If he/she comes back or not who cares, OP is venting frustration like a lot of us do here in different ways

The 'not a real fan' thing is hilarious garbage tho. Who cares, its an online forum, you dont like the topic, move along to another thread

Rather than quitting all together, why don't you like two teams like i do?

 

[ChilliBilly]

Never going to give up, will never surrender. However, will continue to avoid giving any money to the organization will Frankie Turd Blueberries continues to be a useless prick.

Predictions -
1 - The Horvat saga will play out just like the JTM saga last year.
2 - The Canucks will attempt to retool for another 20 years.
3 - The Canucks will actually make the playoffs next year, leaving LP in a quandary.

Been living and dying this team for 53 years, why quit now.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Would switch if I had it in me.

You do what you need to to enjoy life.

And if you ever feel like it, welcome back.

Ignore the monkeys throwing shade at you. Almost like junkies trying to drag down someone trying to get clean.

Typically when someone stats a thread like this, my reaction is that are not really a true fan. But actually in this instance, the OP is actually a true fan by not being a fan anymore or atleast for the foreseeable future. This team needed to go,through a rebuild years and years ago when the sedans declined. But Aquilini wanted his playoff $$ and pushed Benning to compete now which subsequently lead to horrible signings and trades. Add in the fact of this Bruce boudreau fiasco and true fans of this team would stay the hell away from giving any of your hard earned money to force ownership to sell. That is the only resolution.

 

[Kshahdoo]

If you guys hate me now I completely understand, but I can't support the Aquilini group anymore. They think they're still in 2011 but are at the verge of getting worse, worse, and worse. Pretty much a bigger dumpsterfire since the Oilers. All I find the Aquilini's don't care about the fans of the Vancouver Canucks with the rich history of Trevor Linden, and you would've thought the franchise would've learned from Mark Messier, but now it's basically them handing the franchise to JT Miller who has been a cancer for this team (loved him in the first year, but now he's acting like it's his team).

But after the news about Tocchet coming in JUST for JT Miller, who literally put Delia under the spot for not going to the bench in an unprofessional manner, just shows how much of a joke this franchise is. Even signing him to that dumb contract. This whole season has been a dumpster fire, and they deserve to be last place. Mind you, the Canucks need to liquidate that entire team as it stands now. I thought Boudreau was doing a great job too.

I might return if they get new ownership, get rid of Miller, but for now I am moving onto the Seattle Kraken considering I had a soft spot for them since the beginning.

You should probably become a fan of Team Kazakhstan then...

When travelling North America back in 95 Vancouver was one of my favorite cities, loved the city, you guys will be back quickly.

 

[J Corso]

but you're lurking here and posting?

I popped in to see what the reactions were after the firing. I lurk once or twice a month because there are great posters here with good info (MS, Melvin). I could care less about the Canucks any more.

 

[Slats432]

As an Oilers fan that went through...

Lowe
Tambellini
MacTavish
Chiarelli
Quinn
Renney
Kruger
Eakins
Nelson
McLellan
Hitchcock
Tippett

and now Holland and Woodcroft....14 men trying to turn around a dumpster fire,

I feel for you guys. The light at the end of the tunnel seems far away, and hard times are ahead. I understand, and have been there.

Back to where though, if you mean back to barely missing the playoffs and drafting 15th every year, then we will get back soon.

Actually a little surprised, the all time record is a bit worse than I thought. Bottom quartile for sure but not second last bad (Kraken do not count, second season in).

Other surprises were Buffalo, the only other team who's played as long as the Canucks without a cup, doing much better all time (but still nothing to show for it), and Tampa and Chicago both being lower than I thought they'd be.

All I know is under his reign, we were 26th in the league in point percentage. He might have left us in cap hell w no talent pipeline, but at least we had a couple non bottom 5 finishes mixed in!
