I'm a Canucks fan and yes, it does feel a little weird.
I've seen some people in here say at least this version of the Canucks is somewhat likable. I appreciate that and I agree. I didn't much care for the 2011 version either, mainly because of the diving. I would have almost preferred that we don't dive and lose with honour, rather than diving and winning with little honour. As it turned out we dived and we still lost. The worst outcome, at least for me personally.
I much preferred the underdog 1994 team. That was a team one could get behind.
Bottom line, and speaking only for myself, I appreciate you guys but I know the love affair will end by the time next season comes around. Hell, I would be disappointed if things didn't go down like that. For now, I'll just enjoy the fact that the Canucks are receiving a lot more love from all over the NHL than they did in 2011.
