News Article: Why Does the National Media Just Hate The Vancouver Canucks !!!

[GreetingsFromCanada]

What's wrong with these articles? The team is run badly run and riddled with poor decisions such as the Sutter and Garrison trades. Most people would probably agree to that. Vancouver isn't the center of the goddamn universe, the media doesn't go after it just cause. The real people on the high horses are the fans that think media members really care that much about Vancouver to try to bring down the team.

Once again a report by Darren Dreger retweeted by some guy I have never heard off. back east and has caused the board and the city to go crazy thinking that Canucks are going to trade the #5 pick for a player to get them into the playoffs next year


it is crazy almost obsessive that the media has on the Vancouver Canucks.

I do not get it

It was a radio interview where Dreger was talking about all the top 5 teams, which included Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Columbus and, gasp, Vancouver.

You either really need to go back to remedial English class or switch to decaf. It was hardly a Vancouver-centric article and Dreger wasn't going out of his way to talk about Vancouver.

1) I do not drink coffee at all. 2) My English is just fine.

I would argue that if you believe that article was "attacking" the Canucks, you have serious reading comprehension skills.

The Canucks are a big market team, are Canadian and are going to be relevant to the draft.

These sorts of stories crop up every year. Remember how there was a ton of hullabaloo over the Panthers top 3 draft pick and how the Canucks were chasing it? Or how the Canucks were making overtures for Chicago's 3rd overall pick a few years back?

Now the shoe is on the other foot and the Canucks are the ones with the draft pick.

Serious case of mountain/molehills here.

TSN just likes to create hype so people watch the draft. If any of the top 5 picks move, it will be because of gross over payment. Maybe Edmonton trades down for some defense, thats all I can see happening.

You are quite right. Some guy tweeted a portion of his comments and people ran away with it.

Dejan is a jackass and doesn't represent the views of people from Pittsburgh and especially not the fanbase.

Most Pens fans, especially on HF like you guys. I feel like there's a bond based on both our fanbases supposedly being terrible.

Can't we just leave that **** on the main board?

I don't really think the national media cares about the Canucks anymore....just another poorly run, bottom-feeding Canadian team being piloted by a former popular player with no management experience.....Leafs, Canadians, even the Oilers and Jets get a much rougher ride from the media for some their moves imo.
