Canucks: a Canadian, esp. a French Canadian, a slang or nick name used by Canadians themselves and often derogatory in the U.S.

And the rest of Canada hates them, and wants the US team from Boston, to beat them senseless  :o

Boston's team is filled with many Canadians (must be the tea!) while Vancover has a bunch of Swedes.

Ah... the envy of all others, except Arnold who once again proves to have a very sound mind.  I'll take a thousand negative ratings for one Stanley Cup!

As a HABS fan, I hate everything about the Bruins.

Vancouver, the city, deserves a Stanley Cup. I don't care what nationalities makes up the roster.
Title: Re: Go Canucks Go!
Post by: Martin on June 04, 2011, 06:03:28 pm
I am also an Habs fan...but given the current choice, I still want Boston to take it. I just don't want to hear Don Cherry talking about it afterwards. I can't stand him.

I hope the Canucks can finally pull it off.

Maybe I should go see the Riverhawks play.  It's free because attendance is very low.

Go Riverhawks! Go!

As a HABS fan,

I am also an Habs fan...

Well once upon a time I was a Hab, but now I am a Hab not. Anyways everyone knows that Canada's real national sport is Lacrosse. And the only good athlete out of Montreal is Georges St-Pierre and his best punch is La Cross  8)

Game 2:

Vancouver Canucks 3...Boston Bruins 2.  Alex Burrows scores 11 seconds into overtime.  The Sedin twins (yeah, those Swedes) play a great game and Luongo proves once again he is the best goalie in the game.   Yeah Baby!!!

I only saw the highlite real of the overtime goal but must admit good hustle by Burrows for the winning goal.

after seeing the 'tard from Boston and his 狗屁 fan vid, I may have to change my side. I had buddies in the army that were from Boston, none of them that stupid, but hey, one can spoil it for all.

I watched the video and my impression was that tongue-in-cheek he was actually supporting Vancover.

Well we just proved we are not unbeatable.  Ooooh we got beaten badly.  Still one up in the series, next game is a new game!

OK I'll say it.  Isn't Canuk the sound a flat tire makes as you are leaving town with your tail between your legs?


OK, OK, OK.  You know I'm just kidding.

in response to the video, I was on leave one time, sometime in the 90's, rode on a plane full of Boston fans, headed to Detroit, obnoxious lot. Although the fellow in the video does have more of a NY cadence to his speech. I've known enough other Bostonians in my days.

he has the attitude down, Boston fans are a pain in the ---! The good thing about that plane ride to Detroit, I watched the game at home that night, slaughter.

Well after 2 dismal losses, the Canucks come back and take game 5.  Good game, 1-0 score.  One more win to go.  The more we win the more the rest of the country doesnt like us.  At least they know where Vancouver is now!  Love that video.

Let's get it done in Game 6 . The Stanley Cup is ment to be used to drink Champagne out of .. not Tea !!! Sorry , no offense to my Chinese Friends  ;) .
Title: Re: Go Canucks Go!
Post by: Neil on June 12, 2011, 02:39:32 pm
I love how the whole country is getting behind them.  Boston Pizza in Vancouver changed it's name to Vancouver Pizza.  Tim Hortons (coffee/doughnut shop) changed the name of the Boston Cream to Vancouver Cream.  The highway sign that warns people about road issues or tells you to put on your seat belt says: Go Cannucks!  I can't wait to watch the next game.

My favourite is the recent posting on Twitter by the Vancouver Police.  You see there are over 100,000 fans watching the games outside in a couple of areas in downtown Vancouver where they have set up massive tv screens.   On its Twitter feed, the Vancouver Police Department noted: "Drinking in public: $230. Peeing in public: $230. Watching a playoff game with thousands of new fans: priceless."   Ya gotta love it!

Post by: Arnold on June 16, 2011, 12:30:34 am
Darn .. the only good point Bost o n winning Cough .. cough it , is . they did drink Champagne out of it at least and not Tea .
What can I say , I'm sure Vancouver is going to be a sad City for weeks/months to come .

Well Boston gets the Champagne.  It's tough being a Canucks fan sometimes.  But wait till next year!!!

Post by: Bee964 on June 16, 2011, 01:50:03 am
Yes, wait till next year..... The Red Wings will beat the Sharks this time and take the cup,......... again. I wanted to see the Wings go against Tampa for the cup this year.

Got a new name. What do you call IDIOTS, LOUTS and BRAINLESS MORONS who smashes up a city center because a team lost what was just a game.   I know Canucks, that suits them fine.

Never mind another 80 odd years and they can redeem themselves when they get another go.

Vancouver doesn't deserve to have a hockey team.  If I was the owner of the Canucks, I'd sell the team.  Not because of their terrible performance (it was), but because of the fans terrible performance.
Title: Re: Go Canucks Go!
Post by: Rhonald on June 16, 2011, 10:38:35 am
Well I guess the worst losers got what they deserved. I remember Calgary Flames run for the cup in 2004 and how disappointed we lost game 7. Now game 7 was in Tampa Bay and not home, but some how, eventhough the rest of the country likes to label us as Rednecks, we show more civility then supposed elitist cities.

Just remember, the ones that created that disgrace, they aren't hockey fans.  Just a bunch of punks who ruined it for everyone.  Very sad to see.

Used to hear the same in the UK with football (soccer).  Funny how the hooligans are never fans. Then WTF do they wear the team shirts when they are causing damage and mayhem. Is that a disguise?

Post by: halfpint on June 17, 2011, 10:18:59 pm
OK Willy, i hear you, i saw lots of stories of the hooligans in the UK.  Never thought we would be the same, but unfortunately we are.  The good news is thousands of Vancouverites came downtown and helped clean up the mess.  They wanted to show the city is full of good people, and they did.  Focus on the good things!!! 

People have to keep things in perspective to.  I remember being in Santiago Chile, I think it was in 1998.  I received a phone call from my wife,she was very distressed wondering if I was safe.  I had no idea what she was talking about.  Turns out here was a riot happening, it was all over the news.

Well, that riot was composed of about 300 people protesting Augusto Pinochet's appointment to a life-long seat in the Senate.    There was violence, like the kind in Vancouver.  Yet 99.9% of the city had no idea this was happening, including me.  I was 3 blocks away from it.  The media blew it up as if the whole city was in turmoil.
