The Canuck fans that are regulars on this board are about as educated of a hockey fan who roots for the Canucks as you will find.
The rest, are just the typical bandwagon fan. They weren't around when the Canucks sucked and they won't be when revert back to their natural place at the bottom of the league standings  |
I think most Flames fans on this board know more about the Canucks current team, farm team, and history than more "Canucks fans" do.
I strike up a conversation with a Canucks fan and ask, "hey, so how's Yann Sauve progressing?" Inevitably, they'll answer, "who?"
It grows tiresome after a while seeing a half-full arena, but at least the guys have learned to play extraordinary hockey regardless of the attendance. That just speaks to the amount of "internal fuel" of the players (as Ward would say).
