Will you care less about the Canucks when they win the Stanley Cup?
Or you will still be a die hard Canucks fan, meaning not missing a single Canucks game whether you have to go to funeral or something and still support them game by game, season by season.

Really? If it is a close person to you then you should probably miss the game.
Also yes still die hard, hard to break the habit snow
If you earn a million dollars are you just going to stop there and quit your job? **** no I've loved the nucks all my life and I'd want this team to win 10 straight cups if they could.
You quite obliviously listed two extremes in this post. Even people I consider die hard fans wouldn't skip a funeral for a game, and these die hard's have even a lesser chance of ditching this team after a Cup win. SelKesler puts it quite nicely; it would be like quitting a dream job after earning your largest paycheck - there will always be someone with more money than you. If anything? Winning Lord Stanley is only going to make me more excited for the next season (if we win of course).
While I don't know what would happen until actually put in that situation, I think I might care a little less to be honest.
I hate riding the constant roller coaster of emotion which is the Vancouver Canucks. In the rest of my life I am a very easy going calm happy person. Watching the NHL frustrates, annoys and saddens me more and more. I seem to get less pleasure out of it every year while my stress level goes up. I hate the toxic environment the media has create too. For other activities I do such as running, people who you are directly competing with will still yell words of encouragement to you in a race. In hockey it's just constant whining about everything. I hate stupid stuff like that "watching the Canucks fail" thread. Go outside and enjoy life, don't sit around hoping people fail.
I'd still watch if they won, but I'd try to pay less attention. I just want to see them win once.
What do you mean "when" they win a Cup? I've been following this team since the mid 80s and I can't even imagine a Canuck team winning the Cup anymore.

Now I know why you picked the user name mr my head hurts
My dad and I were talking about this today. Hes pretty pessimistic about the Canucks winning one in his lifetime (he's been a fan since expansion, a season ticket holder since 86). I'm now 32 and assuming NHL hockey continues, if the Nucks win a cup I would probably care less knowing they won one in my lifetime. But by "care less", I mean perhaps I'd remain a diehard fan, but not be so emotionally invested.

There would probably be a slight dip in enthusiasm for a few years. After some time passed and the cup win was far enough into the past, the urge to see them win again may come back and be as intense as ever.
the stanley cup run last year was good for me personally because i learned to not take hockey as religion and keep the perspective that it's professional sports
i'll still watch every canucks game ever for probably the rest of my life but losing won't be the end of the world anymore, even if i'll ***** endlessly when they put in as putrid an effort as they did in game 1
If we win....ever.....then I could really say I saw something extremely important to me happen. Simply, it would be amazing.
If we did win, I would remain as committed and passionate, but the next couple seasons thereafter I wouldn't care so much how we finished. I think the bliss would extend over a 3 year period or so.
