Canucks Fan Quotes: The Seventh Man Edition

November 3, 2008

I hate this promotion. Like, I effing haaaate it.

You know theres something completely bass ackwards about it when its something that most Canucks Fans actually agree with me about.

I actually thought that the ridiculous amount that I hate the whole 7th man thing would be a good indication of how much people on the CDC forums would somehow love the idea…because thats how it normally works. So imagine my shock when I started reading some of this awesomeness:

“Why they would honour businessmen, who don’t even know who is playing half the time, is beyond me.” ~BenDrinkin

This one is sweet, so much anger:

 ”I was at the game when they unveiled the 7th man and it was straight up embarrassing. We head to our seats to find the cheapest pieces of s&*% little flags with the number 7 on them, and I’m thinking OH NO, what is going on here.

Then little Cliffy and some old fart comes out with a podium and a yellow plastic hockey stick attached to it. The announcer starts in with some terrible countdown and I look at my friends and we all can’t believe the cheese that we’re seeing here, not to mention being laughed at by the Oiler fans surrounding us. How do you defend it?

Whoever came up with this idea of a 7th man needs to be fired right now.” ~Ukee12

“it was a little awkward last nite with Gino Odjick as the “7th man” … when he was supposed to start the chant “Go Canucks Go” his mike didnt’ work and the look on his face was like “get me out of here” ….awkward!!!!” ~Linden rules
