That's what I just don't get - I'm all about being a passionate Canucks fan, but at the end of the day I'm passionate because its entertaining. Passion makes the highs of this team that much more exciting - I was in the barn for 2011 game 7 vs Chicago, and the pure joy of that moment was once-in-a-lifetime (until the win the Cup).Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:51 pm
You know, he wasn't really exaggerating. The main reason I actually came over here was for my mental health. There's a fog of depression that hangs heavy over that board that with repeated, daily exposure can get a man down in the dumps in the dead of the dreary, overcast Vancouver winter. It's nothing against the fellas over there, there are some fine individuals. But the cumulative effect of the constant negative drumbeat can be a mite demoralizing with regular exposure. What with people talking openly about suicide and the team on the rise without any corresponding shift in attitude there I guess one night I went looking for another forum without really even being conscious of what I was doing.
That was my survival mechanism kicking into gear I suppose.![]()

They've always been with us and they always will be. They're the descendants of the ones that used to single out a player and boo him every time he handled the puck. It's part of the local culture sadly, as much so as rioting win or lose.ESQ wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 10:05 amThat's what I just don't get - I'm all about being a passionate Canucks fan, but at the end of the day I'm passionate because its entertaining.

Obviously, the team hasn't been as good, which is a downer on its own. Why cheer against the team, cheering for losses, when the product is already not as entertaining?
These people have become so invested in their opinion that they are smarter than Jim Benning that they don't care at all about enjoying watching hockey anymore. They want to be right that they are smarter and know more about hockey than an NHL GM.
Now they're in so deep that they've inverted - rather than enjoying the entertainment value of a good team on the rise playing competitive hockey, they derive pain from what should be enjoyment, because it moves them further from their opinion that they are smarter than Benning.
And it takes away from their bizarre sense of power that they can get Benning fired through sending mean tweets.
I can't imagine the deranged, depressed fanbase will ever go away entirely, but they may as well stay in HFBoards. If we could just get them off Twitter and maybe off 1040, the city would be a much happier place.
A Doc Sock is one of Doc's (Strangelove's) many many many accounts that he uses to troll and generate click bait during the offseaon. When summer hits I'd venture to say that probably 75% of everything that isn't Chef, Doyle, Brown Eye, Rats, or Micky, is Doc talking to himself.Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 1:40 pmI'm not really sure what a Doc Sock is but it doesn't sound like me.Mëds wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 8:36 amAre you a bot?Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Wed Apr 15, 2020 7:48 pmI know, I can't believe all the posts I'm piling up over here.
