Canucks fans are loud and proud and other fan bases hate that, because they think we should only celebrate our team when we win the Cup. F them, we're all Canucks.

Luke Gazdick is not "the hockey world". I have friends who are Flames fans, TO fans (sorry), Detroit fans, etc. In one breath you say "they" then switch it up to "we". So which is it, are you with us or against us? Tired of hearing how awful we are here. We don't give a sh...so there's that. Funny how people from Alberta (etc) live here...if "we're" so bad are they just....stupid? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaBamba Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Bias aside, I just don’t think he is really that good on TV. His voice is weak, he looks slouched over like he is taking a shit half the time. He’s not funny, he don’t say anything memorable, he is just there. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem having Hrudey cheering for Calgary, Gazdic for Edmonton, Bieksa for Van. It makes for a fun banter and it is a better representation of fandom. Everyone is required to cheer for Toronto and Montreal, that is the nature of the media. I tend to agree....still, I think it was unprofessional of LG to go on air and slag the team itself, even to the point of misrepresenting how the series between the two teams went. Case in point: John Garrett is a pretty big Canuck homer, but you'll never find any tape of him going on a rant against the Flames, or Kings.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see nothing wrong with shit taking other teams on a platform. It makes it exciting. I just don’t love Luke’s tone and he just doesn’t have the charisma. I get that he is a national broadcaster and shouldn’t exhibit bias but even so, his biggest problem is that he sucks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertKBD Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 11 hours ago, Keslers Ghost said: This is going to be a very unpopular take but I feel a bit bad for the guy. Twitter is toxic and he snapped in a very public and embarrassing way and has totally undermined his credibility which should not bode well for his career. It may be that he apologizes on HNIC and that will be that, but I'm predicting he releases a written statement and then Ron will tell some folksy story on HNIC that ties in with people making mistakes and being better because of it. At the end of the day, if he isn't fired than those who want blood can rest assured that he clearly was deeply affected and struggling enough mentally to go on a podcast and act that childishly. His points were so emotional and obviously unsubstantiated, if he really meant every word its pretty easy to shrug it off (though I don't think he did). It's also only going to get worse for him now. The real play would be for Canucks fans to show an outpouring of support, not for his comments, but on mental health terms. Not that we need him, but the guy would become an allie for life, not to mention it would be great example of the real Canucks fans Elliotte was talking about. Great point. A flood of messages from Canuck fans telling Luke that they were sorry he was treated so poorly on Twitter, would show him what the fanbase is really like. It would also likely make him feel pretty lousy about what he said. Piling on and/or calling for his firing would just confirm what he already thinks of us.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pianoman Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I didn’t mind him on the broadcasts, and always thought he was fair towards the Canucks. I’m willing to give him a pass on this one as a one off that’s out of character for him. Some of those comments must have really got to him haha, must be tough having to deal with that. It will probably be worse for a bit now because he will get even more hate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we do that without him apologizing to begin with. Doing so without him showing remorse would give him the impression that his takes are justified and it works. It will be negative reinforcement. You have to treat these people like your typical high school jocks and bully until shown otherwise.

He isn't remorseful cause anyone who did this out of a moment of rage would have already came out and apologized or at least addressed it at this point. The fact we are hearing silence from him indicates thisbis how he truly feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrammaInTheTub Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 The fact that he hasn’t been told to apologize by those he reports to suggests to me that it will be addressed in a once and done manner on Saturday and nothing will be said until then as anything said would just add fuel to the discussion.

If he is told to apologize than it is not sincere. Major transgression like this need a written apology and not some halt hearted sorry on a broadcast.

Strawbone Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 He can say whatever he wants about toxic Twitter users... it really can be a cesspool and I'm sure he read some pretty shitty comments. But he totally crossed the line with "your team is a joke". That's so incredibly biased, never mind untrue especially after this incredible season, that I can't ever enjoy a broadcast with him on the panel. Also, if I'm part of Canucks management, I'd be putting in a formal complaint because those kinds of comments reflect badly on the league. So unprofessional.

Major transgression like this need a written apology and not some halt hearted sorry on a broadcast. Of course if he apologizes it will be because he’s told to. If not an outright order, it would likely be highly recommended for the sake of his broadcasting career (i.e read between the lines Luke). If it wasn’t a public apology and it was simply a written statement, people would brush it off as a ghost-written piece. Truth is - his public apology (if it happens) will be ghost written too. He made a mistake and how he handles it going forward will determine how I feel about him. He’s young and fresh to the broadcast game. He made the mistake of breaking the fourth wall. I personally don’t mind that he said what he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
