You should see this place when either: - Yankees - Cowboys - Lakers - Leafs - Habs Get their you know what together and win chips again. Will make any Boston championship look like a picnic. trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 The received wisdom on Hockey Twitter is that Leafs fans are the worst human beings alive. However, I'm guessing most of those people, who, as always, wish they were talking about the NBA instead, are rooting for the Raptors. Wonder how they reconcile that. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinFromBoston Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 No offense to the Blues, but has a team ever made it this far with such an inert Power Play? If anything, that's actually a compliment considering where they are now in spite of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruins fans will never stop pointing that out, insisting they're the true Cup champs the entire time.

Leafs/Raptors fans are always at least good for a hilarious read on TSN's Facebook page every time they lose. It's always because of some massive league conspiracy against Toronto.

Think it would be hard to find jerkass Blackhawks fans if I look through comments sections?

We all subconsciously do that with Boston fans and Yankee fans all the time, even if the ones that we directly expose ourselves to are actually pretty good, all things considered.

Between 2011, 2013, and this year I think the most cordial fan base in terms of fan interaction on the streets I dealt with was Chicago. Maybe because the Hawks had just won a few years prior, but it was a really easy going series. Vancouver was easily the worst to no ones surprise. St. Louis, eh, forgettable. 2 hours ago, Brass said: Yes. Oddly enough it was the 2011 Bruins. Aaaaaand they were BRUTAL. I think there was an 0-20 stretch in the middle rounds there. Then again, 90% of Claude's tenure it was so inept anyway. Looked like they were the team actually down a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 10 hours ago, TrueYankee26 said: The St. Louis Blues have blown their best chance at 52 years at the Cup. This is 2011 Texas Rangers-like. 1997 Indians-like. The St. Louis Blues have blown it. Game 7 should be a Bruins blowout win, 6-0. Congrats Boston fans. When was the last time a team blew their golden opportunity at home in Game 6 and then actually overcame that to win on the road in game 7? Has it ever happened? The road team that just lost game 6 at home always kind of feels like dead team walking going into game 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Nashville fan, the 2018 Preds/Jets series flies in the face of that, off the top of my head. I'm not in a position to do that kind of research right now, but I'm sure it's more common than you think.

I've always seen Bruins fans as kindred spirits: team's been around forever, exasperated by miserly ownership, always condescended to by the basketball snobs in town.
