Anyone here go on their team's message boards? I just hopped over to the board on the Canuck's official site. I could only look for about two minutes. Most of the fans defend the players like they are part of their family. Seriously, on the radio Naslund was being criticized (rightfully so) and the responses from the fans on the board were comical. They ranged from "maybe those guys should be real fans and support their team" to "Nazzy has enough to deal with other than being ridiculed left and right" to "Nazzy is playing a more defensive role and sacrificing his points to help the team" to "they're just bandwagon fans". Ah yes, the wonderful use of 'bandwagoner'. Fans like to use that word quite a bit. :rambo: I guess it's against the rules to tell the truth about a hockey team and its players. hock: hock: Naslund ISN'T a leader, Naslund isn't producing like he should, and Naslund is stealing a paycheck this season. Those are the realities of the situation. I'm glad I have a brain that allows me to see things for what they are. :thumb:

But how is that different to reaction around here if someone posts something about not liking World Container or not being impressed with the most recent Hip concert they went to? People who post disenting opinions at a fan forum of any type are likely to get jumped all over. It's the nature of the beast.
