1. It’s no fun city not no win city.

2. How much are the Caps paying him? Can he buy the Canucks?

3. Correct, what the fans want is famously correlated with major league success.

4. He’s not wrong. People still go to Canucks games, even during the dark benning years.

5. so the riots were a signal of approval then

6. He’s right

7. So used to it it’s a real thing

8. Well what the hell are we supposed to do? Riot when we lose?

9. I hear what he’s saying, but I’m not sure what he thinks I can do about it, exactly.

10. Wait, is this fucking play about us?

11. Almost like… it’s hard to win in sports? 🤣

12. You heard him guys time to riot again

13. Woah. It’s kind of sad when you hear it from someone else

14. No Canadian city accepts winning. Has he seen the fan and media shitstorm that surrounds under performing players?

15. THATS IT, MULLER TO THE CANUCKS

16. I mean we really don’t have a choice

17. What the fuck are we, the average person, supposed to do? Not go to anymore games?

    I don’t like losing as much as the next person but I’d love to hear more about the steps one can take to help their team win a game.

19. Correction, owners accept not winning.

20. Thomas Muller must be like why don’t the Canucks buy Mcdavid from our rivals like Munich bought Gotze and Hummels

21. This is like a jab towards Aqua

22. I mean easy to say coming from a league where the same teams have more money than everyone else and win every year.

    North American sports are attempting parity, so you have to accept not winning.

23. Vancouver is pretty famous for very much NOT accepting losing.

24. It wasn’t always this way.

25. You know what that means, boys! *grabs pitch fork and torch and starts flipping cars over downtown*

26. We haven’t had much choice Thomas… Perhaps you can help change that

27. BAND TOGETHER WITH UR RICH FRIENDS THOMAS AND BUY THE CANUCKS!!!

28. I feel like everyone isn’t understanding what he’s actually saying. As Vancouver sports fans we’ve certainly set up a defence mechanism where we don’t allow ourselves to feel hurt as much when our teams suck. I feel like it’s more so calling out the organizations for not delivering success to the fans? Of course, I could be completely wrong but it doesn’t seem like he’s talking shit about the fans at all lol

29. Ok show us how to win ….

30. 

31. can he play 2c?

32. Yeah but you don’t have nearly as many participation medals and trophies as I do.

33. Can he play 2C?

34. Way out of context. Watch the full video, he’s not taking a shot.

    However there is no disputing that the Canucks are a mess of a franchise with terrible ownership. I now know people that have been fans for 40+ years and will die before they get to see their team win. I’m in my 30s and I have no confidence that I’ll see them win before I die.

35. great attitude, can he skate?

36. 

37. How the hell did we get dragged into this?

38. He’s assimilated at an alarming rate. Welcome aboard
