Switching hockey team allegiance

nekred · #1 02-05-2013, 08:09 AM

I have been a Vancouver Fan since 1982 and their first run at the cup, the Oilers were always my second team to cheer for and through the Messier heydays it was great.

last year during playoffs I suddenly realised as a Canucks fan, that there were more players I hated on Vancaver than I liked...

I hate the Sedin Sisters,... learn how to play with your heart and learn playoff hockey you sniveling little wimps...

Burrows... grow Up!

Kesler... go back to the Us... if you were a soccer player you would be Spanish or french...

Luongo... Nuff Said....

So now I realise that I actually like the Oilers!...the most, a young talented team that plays with heart and emotion...whatever the consequences... the Yakapov slide was excessive but hey its the kids first big goal in a game and he is new...lets give hima bit of latitude... just don't do it every time!...

After seeing the score this morning I am pretty happy. (I am still not watching the games as I am boycotting this season)

Oilers fan from day one, was able to go into the open doors at rexal for the last 2 mins of one of their cups to watch them hoist it and skate around. Then to Jasper ave with the masses. Cool memories. Been a lot of lean years but i think we have a comparable team being built now. Need a few holes filled but the speed, talent and heart all seem to be there. Hope they can make a few cup runs real soon.

Only a matter of time before you switch again. True fans support their teams thru thick and thin.

There ya go! doesn't matter what sport. If you cant figure out which team to support all by your ownself, ask your mmomy. Or turn off the telly and pick up your knitting needles.

Yes, I hate Vancouver. What a bunch of no heart pansies. With that said, I was born and raised in Toronto and bleed the Blue. Yes it's a tough life, but I cant help it.

Go Leafs !! maybe someday before I die they will at least make the playoffs !

I hope 10,000 season ticket holders switch so I can afford to take BB to a Canucks game.

So if a nucks fan is a crackhead, and an oil fan is a meth head, what does that make a flames fan?

I've got it! A smoker. You spend the money, and in return you get no discernable highs, and shortness of breath (from all the yapping about kipper the messiah, who almost won you a cup over a decade ago)

I supported the Cannots through an awful lot of thin, but when irealised the team was made up of players I despised and it made me decide to switch...

However I will still cheer any team playing the Habs!...

I found myself cheering for the Flames during their cup run a few years ago (primarily out of nationalism), then went right back to hating them and cheering for the Oilers. I suspect i would cheer for any Canadian club over an American club in the cup finals.

I dislike Khabby, Potter, Eager and sometimes Whitney. I hate Horcoff, and Taylor Hall is vastly over-rated and falls 100 times a game, but I LOVE MY OILERS...
