Mr_ajcartier7 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 4 hours ago, Alflives said: It sure seems we are an older group of fans who became Canuck fans long ago. Where are all the younger fans? IMHAO there’s a dead period during the Benning era where the club wasn’t attracting new fans, especially the young ones. Seems like the club lost a generation there. New management has turned that around. And the Lindholm trade just adds to the whole good management doing a good job (and attracting young fans) as opposed to what Benning did. I am in the younger demographic but was just very turned off from the team in the years following the meltdown against Boston. Tried going to a game here and there but the team was just lifeless until the last 2 years. I can handle a losing team if they at least show effort and fight but there has been very little of that for the last 6-7 years. Plus horrible mismanagement of prospects/picks just made it unbearable. This year has been awesome and I am cautiously optimistic that we can make playoffs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon it up a bit to help change the reputation of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon it up a bit to help change the reputation of the team. Totally. I would have taken that over what we got. We just had a mishmash of totally generic players, many of which were NHL/AHL tweeners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entertains the fans with his skill, and keeps things light in the dressing room. No doubt it helped the drudgery of last year go by a bit easier. Calgary is going into full-on rebuild. Kuz will be a nice distraction for the next calendar year. And if things go well, he'll probably get them another pick at next year's deadline. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed for the most part but I'm just less certain about Calgary's rebuilding vs them trying to retool, I think it's too early to tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 So I wonder how many trades have happened where the main piece going to each team scores the next goal for each team. Because that just happened. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
