After some soul searching they came to grips with the fact that they are what they are (Thanks Bert) and have finally embraced their identity.
They'll go all in hard neg, impervious to on ice reality as the Canucks rise on the backs of their young superstar duo.
Well 'as long as they're happy' one supposes....
You see the problem with that 'tanking' line of thinking
A coupla (few?) decades ago many Leafers got so frustrated with the team that they turned into permanent anti-leafers.
They turned from Leaves-lovers into Leaves-haters. PERMANENTLY.
A few of them are here on this site.
You'll find them constantly bashing the Leaves in the Leaves thread.
So If I'm running a Canucks site and I see the same thing happening
... well I'd be punting them left, right, and centre.
They've lost the plot of being a fan, and I'd be doing both them and Canuckdom a favour.
They've become jaded, it's time for them to move on and hopefully rediscover what being a fan is all about.
They're tumors and need to be cut out.
"But I've been a Canuck fan for 30 years and only bitch constantly because I care about the team"
