Enlighten me NHL fans

There’s something I need you NHL fans out there to enlighten me on:

After last night’s home game against the Habs, today on the Canucks radio station poll they were asking whether our fans were 1) Annoyed by the amount of folks who were wearing the Habs jersey and cheering for them at GM Place, or 2) Happy with it because it adds to the atmosphere.

Now, I am going to try to put away my bias against the NHL as much as I could……but how could any fan of any sport even start to imagine being annoyed by the fact that the away team has a following, and may I argue a following that is actually more devoted than our home crowd at our home ground? I mean, to say that we were annoyed sounds to me like a little baby whinging about because someone else is doing a better job!

As for adding to the atmosphere, lol, what bloody atmosphere?! “BOOOOOOO”, or “GO CANUCKS GO”, or “YEAHHHHH”. The awesome spirit of the Great White North, eh?

Back on topic.

Or, are they really just getting at the fact that all these Habs fans really are just Vancouverites who are gloryhunting plastic fans who chose to wear the shirt of a more successful team than their own local team? Now, I can see why a Canuck might get annoyed by this.

But then again, even in that case, does it make much of a difference? I mean, the only difference at the end of the day between a “real” Canuck and a plastic Habs is that you are wearing a different shirt and “shouting” “BOOOO” and “GO HABS GO” instead of “BOOOO” and “GO CANUCKS GO”.

Canucks fans are so stupid and fickle.

Rant over.
