I also hate the Canucks, though I mostly do so because of their fans. I actually like a lot of the players.
Iginla was elite in his day, but he never had players around him to complement his skill set. Craig fucking Conroy is the best centre he ever played with. Put him with someone elite and he would have put up even more impressive numbers. I was a Canucks fan when he was in his prime and he and Kipprusoff were both very frightening to go up against because either one could take over a game.
I've gone back to cheering for Detroit when I actually watch hockey. They were my favourite team when I was a kid.
