Does anyone know these guys???

I wonder if any of them are on CP? If so, you guys are awesome.

I do remember taking a picture with them in 2013 when Dallas was here. I was wearing my red Czech Republic Jagr jersey.

How can they possible afford to travel and follow one player. They must have money coming out of their butt holes.

You don't need to have money coming out of your butthole to fly and watch a game. It would cost you less than a thousand dollars to pretty much fly out to any city in the NHL and watch a game.

Wait, did you just imply spending 1K a game to fly around and watch a player for an 82 game season is not a lot of money?

Either you have no concept of money, or you should likely be hosting a CP party at your house in very short order!

They don't go to 82 games. They go to the Edmonton and Calgary games and take a trip a year or so. I think a few years ago they went out to Philly and hit a couple cities on the east coast.

If your a single working 30+ year old it's not that hard to spend a bit of money on a few trips. Also depends on your priorities, I go do stuff once a year that could lead people to believe I lead a life of luxury. But quite often the other 11 months of the year I'm pretty boring and poor like and no one sees that because I'm at home being boring and poor like. Too easy to pass judgement. Not that it's a bad judgement haha.

Regardless, that's a lot of disposable income spent on travelling around following a player every year, even for an upper middle class family for example.

1-3k a year is a lot to spend on travel annually?

For most people, especially those with families, yes.

The green men in Vancouver are giant dooshes. Their shtick is unoriginal, lacks thought, and is disturbing. They are a couple of radio DJs that far exceeded their 15 minutes of fame. Like most fans in Vancouver, thankfully they haven't been spotted in a long time.
