Who's everybody? Minnesota has hated us since the Wild were born...

I do tend to agree with you though, more and more, the Canucks are becoming hated. 2-3 years ago, they were kind of under the radar, the team you might give a polite clap to for the effort they put in.

These days, people treat the Canucks like the Yankees, Except they haven't won shit, but everyone is hating on them.

I chalk it up to jealousy without merit...This off season will be huge for the Canucks. If they can get Bieska and Ehrhoff to sign new contracts, and move Ballard(and God willing Lou...) They will be an even better team next year.

The Canucks have something a lot of other teams wish want and pray for....Home Team Discounts.

Both Sedin's, Kesler, Burrows, and Hamhius and Maholtra took less money to stay(or sign) with the Nucks than they would have got on the open market. I hope and think Bieska will do the same soon. The fact that players seem to WANT to play for the Nucks, and will take less money to do so is a huge factor in other fans jealousy.

Canucks core is largely intact, as the Bruins...most other team(Hawks and Flyers) cant keep there core.
