How can I hate a team made up of a bunch of guys who just want to play hockey? I'd take their place in a minute if I could. I'd play in Nashville if it meant playing hockey for a living.

i don't hate the players. i wish them all the best.
however, i hate what the organization has become in recent years. the only redeeming quality i find in the moose is randy carlyle.

I may dislike the team they may one day play for, but the guys themselves can't help who they were drafted by. As far as things go, we're pretty lucky to have a good team this year...like MOC said, all they want to do is live out their dreams, so I can't hate them for that.

I'm all about the hometown team. That's why I don't hate them. I find them boring at times, but other games are some of the greatest hockey I can recall seeing. The only thing I hate is when their games lack intensity and passion... but I can't say I blame them, it's hard to play with emotion infront of a boring crowd.

I don't hate them. I do prefer NHL or WHL. Meh... those are Vancouver's boys whether the 'Nucks are playin' or not... Do they all have contracts with the Canucks? I ask this because you got a vet like Roy, nothin' against Roy, but why would the Canucks pay him to play in Manitoba when he has no shot at playing in the NHL(IMHO, I don't think he can crack the pine ridin' roster, and is too old. God bless him for keepin' on trying to reach that goal). Or is he just there for another younger player to look up to and learn the ropes from?

A good many do, but there are a few guys on the Moose who are signed only to the Moose and not the Canucks too. Huskins, Jaffray, Roy, Green, Burrows and then all the guys they have down in the ECHL except McVicar are only signed to the Moose.

(Simpsons "Comic Book Guy" voice): Best. Poll. Ever. Short answer: YES Long Answer: There is a LOT to hate about the moose but I cannot find it in myself to hate Randy Carlyle, the only person in that entire organization devoted to winning. However, he should be coaching the JETS, not the moose, who would rather lose.

I dont exactley hate them. But i can't stand the games... Like, its no fun at all going. They players don't play hard the same way NHL or WHL, or juniors play. The atmosphere is like a library (you can hear the mild humm of a airconditioning, or somone coughing 5 sections beside you, or a pin drop.) There are alot of little kids, trying to be mischevious to show off to their friends. (which can be quite funny at times, but its not the beer drinking party crowd i like to fit in with). I mean, i enjoy hockey, for someone to question me being a hardcore 'fan' because i dont settle for less is outragious. Big Chris is a prime example. That guy seems to be able to pull stats from places i have never seen, and follow hockey to know so much that its... its crazy. Yet, he refuses to see a moose game.... Now I follow hockey, but not like everyone else does... however my 'hardcore fan' ability i feel is proven through the fact that i wear that jersey, act like an idiot, and chant until my voice hurts for 3 weeks after the game. Thats a hardcore fan. Then again, those moose fans are right. They have gotta be a hardcore fan if they can sit through each and every home moose game. I know i sure as hell couldn't do it.
sorry Chris, you and I just got topped.
With all this said, no offence to moose fans, if you enjoy it, By all means head down there and live it up. Cheer for your team. Its like homosexuality. I am not into it, but if you are, go for it. got nothing against it.

I don't hate the Moose, I hate the ATMOSPHERE... Maybe its because the Moose aren't that excitable, but they are doing damn well, so why the lack of loudness at the games?
Maybe come playoff time the atmosphere will pick the hell up.. who knows...
The team is actuallyu a good team (since no one is getting called up, they stay together keeping the chemestry active)
