My buddy Ken Frank's favorite Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic will have a very low key day with the Stanley Cup when he brings the Cup back to his home town of Vancouver, B.C., apparently the Vancouver Canucks fans are still acting like a bunch of spoiled entitlement brats.
Megan Stewart, Vancouver Courier ---- "There is a certain amount of tension right now," acknowledged Lucic's mom, Snezana. "It's not all of Vancouver, just certain individuals."
When he celebrates with the Stanley Cup this weekend, Lucic will keep the festivities relatively private and low-key. He won't be gloating, at least where the public eye can see. Potential to bring hockey's holy grail to Kitsilano Beach Park for the weekend's popular sports festival, Kits Fest, were scuttled, according to an event organizer.
All because of a few sore losers. Seeing Lucic with the Stanley Cup would be bittersweet for Canucks Nation, just as it must be acutely bittersweet for him to keep in check the pride he rightfully feels. Such a woe-begotten attitude is beatable by recognizing Lucic for the accomplishments he realized right here at home. However, too many are still hurting over the hometown champion who helped conquer the hometown. Said Snezana, "That's why Milan does not want to be out there, parading the Cup around his hometown."
It's the shenanigans like this that caused many hockey fans to not like the Vancouver Canucks during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This is a game why wouldn't human being act more civil, the kid is from Vancouver and he is bringing the Stanley Cup back to his home town but has to keep it low key so some fans won’t act like horses asses and ruin Lucic's celebration with the Stanley Cup. For those with short memories, these are the same hooligans and excrement that went out and trashed their city after the Vancouver Canucks lost game seven to the Boston Bruins.
