Are You A Hardcore Canuckian?
Do Vancouver Canucks fans bleed blue, green or white? Are Canucks fans the most dedicated than any other hockey fans? Ask any Vancouverite, and I’m 150% sure that their answer will be a definite ‘YES!’ Being a Canuckian myself, I cannot hide the fact that there’s a fair share of fans who jump on the wagon when we’re winning, yet hop off at the first signs of trouble.

You Know You’re A
1. There are only three seasons that make up the year for you: regular season, playoff season and off-season.
2. You know what CDC means

12. There’s always a part of you that loves Naslund no matter what happens.
13. You know that it was us who invented the white play-off towel.
14. You forget quite easily that you don’t actually know guys on the team personally.
15. When you hear the word sacrifice, the first picture to flash through your mind is the picture of Trevor
16. You will take ANY bet on the Canucks no matter how one sided.
(A sincere thank you to all those fans who let me use their ideas!!!)
