Oh at the moment absolutely. I like Wings prospect more but ya man. Dead things indeed. Difference is Detroit is a storied franchise - Vancouver is just Canada's afterthought

It's the last part that has me questioning wether or not you're here to talk hockey. I trust Aaron will take care of it.

Considering the canucks are the 11th most valuable franchise in the NHL it would beg to differ on the market sustainability.

Rabid fan base indeed. They generate a lot for the team and the value of the franchise takes a number of things into account.

Oh ya not as a province! There’s no way I would ever say that! Canada loves BC!…the Canucks are Canadas afterthought in terms of Hockey Teams. Sorry for that friend.

Oh sorry man! Did I miss a Cup win?
- Big23Questions

It's not about cup wins it's about money, you don't move a money making team. Use some common sense that's why you sound like a troll.

I think he just has an unpopular opinion. I don't think he's trying to troll Canucks fans. Unpopular opinions are allowed right?


With that said, if he's not careful it definitely will be considered trolling at some point and won't be allowed.

Honestly you DO sound kind of like a troll. I think the senators would be the afterthought of all Canadian teams. Vancouver is quite the franchise. May not look like much now but they've been relevant a number of times.

Actually, the question to ask is what makes a team relevant to you? We have to talk modern era. We can't go back in time to when the team didn't exist and there were only 6 original teams.

I grew up in Ontario. Lots of Leaf fans in my life. We manage to get along and have great hockey discussions. Probably because everyone can take a bit of razzing.

Fair enough man. Every reader takes a different tone from what they read. Not trolling I just don’t get how a franchise who has literally won absolutely nothing gets so cocky towards other storied franchises.
To me relevance is that if you go the states and ask their fans to name teams and players from Canadian markets - good chance no Canuck or the team is mentioned.
Hall of Fame players historically? Sedins who won nothing, Alfredsson also nothing, Luongo nothing.
That’s all I was trying to get at.

Well it's time to shed that old look and grow into a new and better person! Come on friend! Take my hand and I'll lead you to happier places!

I’m nearing 60 in a few years, I will always and forever hate the Leafs, TSN & Sportsnet. I removed them from my browser. I have two kids in their 30’s and two grandkids, I’ve taught them all to hate the Leafs LOL!!

Man, that's (frank)ing sports bro. What the (frank) have the detroit lions won? Nothing. Not even a super bowl appearance and those fans are cocky as (frank).

You're poopting on EVERY sports fan base for having passion? It's tough to win in sports. Any sport in the modern world. You can't poop on the fans for being passionate about their preferred team. Sure they talk a little smack about other teams but who cares? If you don't like it, ignore it.

EDIT: Those guys were in the finals man. That's not a championship but they gave their cities and millions of people something to cheer for and hope. That's gotta count for something.

The city is awesome, I have a lot of fun there as my brother-in-law lives near the HHOF. Great restaurants, breweries, loads of fun. Matthews isn’t trash, he’s an unbelievably good hockey player, by the way.

We went to the 7's a couple of weekends ago after the Canucks destroyed the Leafs. It was the first time I've ever seen them. It was like Burning Man in there. What a sport.
