7th Man meets quiet, uneventful demise.
November 5, 2008
It’s gone!?!
Yes, I think its gone.
We’ve been ranting about the redonkulous Canucks 7th man bulls*** for a while here at GoCanuckYourself, starting with this post, then chiming in on the CDC message boards HERE and HERE. And have even made and exclusive Canucks Fan Quotes 7th Man edition post on our site.
All dedicated to the lamest marketing ploy I’ve seen by a pro sports team since free AA battery night at a Springfield Isotopes game.
And I think that officially, we might have killed it.

We’re Not Alone in the Suck
July 28, 2008
Ok dammitt, I got lambasted by a Calgary fan this weekend about one of the only indisputable parts of being a Canucks fan: The holy grail.
I can argue divisions, players, competition, coaching…but there’s one thing that none of us can dispute:
We haven’t won a Championship in 37 years. (And if your hanging on to that Vancouver Millionaires bulls**t from 1915 you need to punch yourself in the face). Read more
Trevor Linden Retires, Hall of Fame Shrugs
June 10, 2008
Well, after 20 seasons as a hockey player, 16 as a Vancouver Canuck, Trevor Linden has finally called it quits..or as Canucks fans say it: “Oh my effin gawd what on earth are we going to do now that the greatest player in the history of the universe has abandoned us and our team forever nooooooo!!”
Lets start by saying that I am not a Trevor Linden hater, and being critical of him doesn’t mean I think he stinks. Buuut…freaking the hell out when anybody dares say anything remotely negative about the guy only leads me to believe that deep down inside, you KNOW that Linden is a good player, but not a grrreat player in the overall context of hockey.
I bring this up not only because Canucks fans are redonkulous in their blind unabashed love for #16, but mostly because now that he’s retired, Vancouverites are screaming Hall of freaking Fame.
…whew….deep breaths…10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…ok.. Thats better.
Canucks HoF? yup.
NHLPA HoF? yup.
The hall of fame of your heart? sure.
But NHL Hockey Hall of Fame??? please.
I’m not going to go on a tirade either dissecting his career stats and all that crap, I think that just looking at the class that went into the hall last year and who is up for induction into the hall of fame this year - it pretty much sums up what it takes to be a Hall of Famer:
2007 Mark Messier
2007 Al MacInnis
2007 Scott Stevens
2007 Ron Francis
2008 Glenn Anderson
2008 Igor Larionov
Ya: Messier, MacInnis, Stevens, Francis, Anderson, Larionov and Linden.
Its like adding mustard to your peanut buster parfait.
Goodbye Matt Cooke
