BRM_PTX Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 BRM_PTX, if I may offer what the internet has taken to calling a "PRO TIP," I just want to let you know as well that many people do not particularly care for the New York Yankees.Why aren't the Canadiens equally if not more hated considering they have more championships?

The_Admiral Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 It's not about trophy ocunt as it is the way they dominate the league. The Canadiens are still plenty hated, but I think people sorta feel bad for them now that they've gone from being this uber-powerful cultural institution to Just Another Team. Imagine if the Yankees didn't just win their first twenty world championships but won them with kids who grew up on the streets of New York, from Ruth to Gehrig to Mantle to Munson. The Canadiens did it all with names like Beliveau and Savard and Bouchard and Geoffrion and ree-SHAR and hkhWAH. That's the best thing ever. Now they lose with guys named Plekanec and Markov and Kostitsyn and Hal Gill. The magic is gone. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Root for the penguins. Bandwagoning them is no longer mainstream, but they're still good, and a lot of people still hate them and their fans.Basically, they're the hipster band of the NHL.

Then you get the Florida Panthers organization with the Nashville Predators roster. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbadefense1990 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Root for the Kings. Because the Ducks were owned by Disney and were the team which brought the first Stanley Cup championship to Southern California, whereas the Kings had 25 more years (and Wayne f#cking Gretzky) and still couldn't bring the cup home.

The_Admiral Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The Predators. Hockey is awesome when you don't just clog up the neutral zone with mediocre talent and prevent events from occurring. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 BRM_PTX, if I may offer what the internet has taken to calling a "PRO TIP," I just want to let you know as well that many people do not particularly care for the New York Yankees.Why aren't the Canadiens equally if not more hated considering they have more championships?Two things:1. They don't have more than the Yankees. The Yankees have won 27 World Series and the Canadiens have won 24 Stanley Cups.2. Canadiens fans may be mostly snooty French-Canadians but the only fanbase that comes close to equaling the Yankees' in terms of hate-worthiness is Boston. Canadiens fans just aren't as hateable. If you want a Canadian fanbase to hate, go with Vancouver. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The Predators. Hockey is awesome when you don't just clog up the neutral zone with mediocre talent and prevent events from occurring.Be fair.At least the Predators look somewhat watchable when they're pressed into playing offensive hockey.
