Nah the canucks are just taking up the role of loser bros like the Sharks.
I don't think any team are as universally hated by Canadians than the Canucks so no.

He's right, the hockey world is like "poor Winnipeg" and are making the ducks sweep seem like a noble thing simply because they made the playoffs. You didn't see anyone start a fucking parade when we made it for the first time in 6 years, and we perform well and we still only get lukewarm reception and I still see people say "but the flames are unsustainable" just ridiculous.
After 2011 they decided it's best to lose quickly and mercilessly. Why keep people guessing
That's true. Still see people calling the Flames garbage. Like wtf do you even watch hockey??
I blame the beard.

I know the Flames are young but damn man they're barely drinking age here in the states.
You need to get on the Leafs level and not even make the playoffs.

Same.
In dog years?
People feel good about a fanbase who get to see their team in the playoffs for the first time since 1996 and the fanbase responds by cheering their team at the end of the games even though they were swept, Not the most obscene thing in the world and the bitter post coming from a guy whose team just swept them? C'mon now.
Also, I have no idea what in the world that has to do with people who don't think the Flames are legit.
Same.
More like Flames management, lol
That's what I was hoping for all year. Then the Canucks tricked me into enjoying their victories. :/
I would if I was still in Ontario.

I think that the articles I read that are about how endearing the jets fan base is and how valiant their effort was are ridiculous, they still choked their way out of the playoffs. Good job getting there and showing you didn't belong in the first place. I like the jets and I like Winnipeg but I'm not about to sugarcoat it or pretend that if the fan base, and apparently the hockey world in general, weren't still in the honeymoon phase the feelings would be much different.
Conversely to compare to us, we have got none of the credit with a much worse team on paper than the jets.

can someone tell me where nick bonino is? He seems to be missing
Jets were facing the 2014-2015 Anaheim Ducks though, big difference.

Also fuck this 1996 nonsense, it's been 7 years, 96-99 and 2011-2015. So congratulations on your playoff drought hat was a whole season more than ours.

Sorry for finding the whole situation confusing and embarrassing. The Jets are a professional hockey team full of grown men, not a homeless puppy. I've never seen anything like it in any other sport.
And I thought Quick hated the Jets a lot....
My fantasy team wonders the same
Should they have been booed off the ice?
Personally I liked seeing the positivity compared to the Habs fan base that will boo the team any chance they get
, myself included.
Didn't we trade him at the deadline? Pretty sure
NHL-GAF's Flames fans proving to be the whiniest people on the planet

I don't have a problem with Winnipeg or their fans. I think the media and some people in this thread are acting ridiculously over what's happening.

Not sure wtf he was thinking there.
Confusing and embarrassing? They're media darlings, this is nothing new. Like, no one's showing up with lasagna and cookies at their doorstep. They're just sentimental favorites. Lord, I can't even imagine how this is something worth getting vaguely irritated about.

That's not what it's about, but ok. I made a joke about the media treating then like a bunch of children and someone got butthurt about it.
Foggy, this was supposed to be an insult to Vancouver. Jesus Christ, let it go.
You sound insecure.
It's hard to get across how important that team is to that city. I can see how ridiculous it might appear to outsiders, but as a city and country that is raised on hockey, it's deservedly been a huge deal.
