I don't hate the Leafs. I just hate the crazy fans. They are completely frickin mental. Wear a Toronto jersey in Montreal and probably the worst that will happen is popcorn thrown at you.

My cousin spent 3 days in a hospital after wearing his Habs jersey at the Air Canada center and was beaten senseless by 10 guys after the LEAFS WON... not the Habs.

Most Montreal fans don't hate the Leafs. There is more of a feeling of pity. The team has not given a rat's a** about it's fans, ever. But it seems that 90% of Leafs fans HATE everything Montreal stands for.

And to think I almost moved to Toronto 8 years ago...

Oh well... back to work, and back to painting McMean's Galaxy playfield with Habs colors.

Quoted from QN

It's not the players that I'm against, it's the fans.  Cheering for the Habs means you're one of them, and that's so wrong....
Same goes for Ottawa, perhaps even worse since Habs fans at least have emotion.....

All kidding aside, I love Ottawa. Good team, good arena, and fans are very cool and respectful. I have been to Kanata a few times to watch games.

My only pet peeve about the Sens? That f**king parking lot. It takes 3 hours to get out of there!!!!!

Hmm... I am being too nice here... wait a second... let me fix this...


Look everyone! McMean is a Leafs fan! And they nearly came in dead last!!!

AND gave away a 2nd round draft pick for next to nothing.  

slave, I've been to a few leafs games, but only been in the lower bowl once and even that wasn't too close to the real suits, the rest have been in the beer soaked nose bleeds.  It's evident when you watch them on tv, the start of the 2nd/3rd the club seats are all empty as they are too busy finishing their Perrier in the bar.

Sparky, you're right, the parking is terrible but if you can sneak your way into lot 3 it isn't so bad.  You're better off to have someone else drive and suggest that you wait the traffic out at the bar.

I find Ottawa fans too reserved, but TO and Habs fans too far the other way.  Us Bruins fans are the only respectable kind.

and 1st....

Hey, I'm certainly NOT trying to defend my Leafs... I made that clear in the beginning.  I BLEED BLUE AND THE LEAFS STINK!!!  Is this the best you've got?  Some pics of a jersey and insults about the fans?  C'mon, I said the Habs make me want to VOMIT!!!  They played like JUNK last night and had a Roy-esque evening from Halak.  Surely you can try harder than this?

As for the trades thing, I'm not losing sleep over 1st round pics... Kessel is a solid player who is proven to produce - if those kids turn out to be Gretzky-Jrs, then I'll lose some sleep.  But until they've played a few seasons in the NHL, we can't compare Kessel to OHL boys.  So far, I'm happy with that trade.  Now if we'd just get a couple guys for Kessel to play with...... geez.

You mean like Hall?  

Kessel is good, but too much of a perimeter player for my liking.  It was really a salary dump, drop Kessel and get a good entry level salary to replace him next year.

Maybe up here but that's not the feeling I get when I visited beantown ... that being said for worst/most violent fans (any sport in NA) I'd have to go with Philly (eageles/flyers fans hell they enlarged the 'jail/holding cells' in the new football stadium) and raiders fans. Most obnoxious is easy ... Yankee fans by a mile hated everywhere ... even in their own city (by mets fans)

Correction... 2nd pick OVERALL!!!

Correction... 2nd pick OVERALL!!!

Sure but are trying to say that Boston thought they'd get a first or second overall when they made the deal ? .. I don't think so .. it looked much more like a 6-10 but the Leafs stunk worse than could be expected.

Sparky, it's actually both.  1st round (2nd overall) AND a second round (32nd overall).  Pleasure doing business with you Mr. Burke.
