You know, there was a time when I thought the green men of Vancouver were a little funny. That time was not the conference finals of the Stanley Cup playoffs. It's one thing to wear a bodysuit to a throwaway game in the middle of the season for a laugh, but to buy platinum seasons tickets right next to the penalty box and dress up every single home game for the sole purpose of being noticed is psychotic. That's thousands of dollars for a sight gag. Copied from a TV show. If you pay that kind of money for those seats you should not have anything impairing your vision at all, let alone voluntarily.
In the playoffs this sort of behaviour is just inexcusable. Fans in any hockey city would kill for those seats and those guys are preoccupied with getting on TV. Worse still, watching the game tonight I can spot no less than 5 other fans in the platinum section wearing stupid bodysuits, including three "pink men" in the very front row. It's more embarrassing than the "suit" suits at the ACC.
Those ridiculous suits make it very hard for me to respect Canuck fans. It doesn't help that the Rogers arena is one of the quietest ones I've heard for this round of the playoffs. The Shark Tank puts them to shame. Here's hoping for another Canucks collapse so I never have to see this again.
That's a funny joke since the entire stadium was going absolutely crazy. Don't be a bitter hater. Vancouver is known for canucks celebrations and celebrate harder than any other team in the NHL. Stop being such a pessimist. The Canucks advancement was not due to the Green Men distracting the other team. I didn't know hockey supporters and hockey players were such whiney brats.
