I don't hate this Vancouver team. I think most of their core, Hughes, Pettersson, Demko, etc.. all seem like good kids who just want to win. This is in stark contrast to their previous core of the Sedins, Burrows, Kessler, Bieksa, who were largely pieces of crap who wanted to win via cheap shots and power plays.
The fans also seem humbled - and even more knowledgeable - this time. None of the talk about "elite" this and that.
That being said, I'm not sure I can put up with two decades of bragging about a Stanley Cup win.
