Admittedly, I am a bandwagoner (though I hate that term) for the Canucks but it's because I care too much and can't help but throw a temper tantrum every time they lose 10 in a row. I jump off but almost always immediately jump back on. Fans should be allowed to be angry and rant about the team WITHOUT being labelled a bandwagoner.
In terms of pro-sports in this city, I'm hoping for a MLS Whitecaps FC. I don't much care for anything else - especially not a MLB team, sorry vancity. NFL would be awesome but that's never going to happen unless for the remote chance (like 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%) chance that NFL absorbs CFL and all our teams change rules to match american football (lol).
Another sports angle would be to look at UBC and their NCAA ambitions.

I know how you feel about the Canucks. I'm a Canuck fan myself, and when I see them lose games, I'm not a happy camper, but there's more to life than Canuck games
Hey, I just look at it from the perspective that, if they don't turn this slide they are currently on around, then they are going to lose their jobs. I'm not going to lose mine. Am I disappointed that they've forgotten pretty much how to play a hockey game? Yes. Do I believe that the 'Nucks are going to make the playoffs? Mmm...if they play like they did tonight, they're going to miss the postseason guaranteed. I don't care how well Luongo plays, if the team plays the way it did against Phoenix tonight - they deserved to get booed right off the ice. They'll win again...just not sure if they'll win enough to make the postseason. I'm supportive of the team, even if they have lost 6 in a row at home
I admit, MLB, while it would be nice, is a long shot, and a pipe dream - but a man can dream, can't he?
MLS I am surprisingly excited about the possibility that we can land a franchise for the 2011 season (fingers crossed!). Someone update us when they hears ANY KIND of news on it
I'm not much of a soccer fan, but I have grown to appreciate the sport more and more, and if the Whitecaps land an MLS franchise, my excitement, and intrigue in the sport will only grow.
Everyone's in a bad mood, cause the Canucks lost 4-1, to the Coyotes. Sigh. The Canucks will bounce back! Have faith, friends
