Why would we be boastful? Our team played in East Van, wore Halloween costumes for jerseys and trotted out line after line of has-beens and ne'erwill-be's.<br /><br /> Where the new breed of Cocknuck came from is anyone's guess. The team certainly didn't get that much better. I believe it was a combination of the new building downtown, an influx of easterners, the corporate takeover of the stands, and the overwhelming media barrage spewing propaganda. <br /><br /> Whatever the cause, the effect has been a contingent of overbearing, fickle fans with an unbelievable sense of entitlement.Goadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853674483927136845.post-47778322142641564352009-10-23T02:56:06.134-06:002009-10-23T02:56:06.134-06:00From the words of Angus Crock on SCTV ....

After that, the reason I hate them so much is how dishonorable their core players are.<br /><br />Luongo, the Sedins and Kesler are all divers. I don't think the diving stage is over for the Sedins, they were doing it last year and will continue to do so this year.<br /><br />And Luongo... he's a damn good goalie but he'd be so much harder to cheer against if he didn't pretend to be hurt every time someone tried to run him in the crease. News flash, douchebag: 29 other starters in the league get run at.<br /><br />The core guys up north are a lot easier to cheer for. Hemsky and Horcoff are beaty players (esp. Horcoff) and Ryan Smyth too when he was an Oiler. Roloson was a diva but he was never part of the Oilers core as far as I'm concerned.R Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10347368583880785872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853674483927136845.post-66903377969846565652009-10-22T15:28:01.984-06:002009-10-22T15:28:01.984-06:00Nice.
