Do I hate Toronto? No. Do I love it when they fail horribly? Yes.
It is a safe and predictable out come, like knowing the bad guy in the movie will give his speech and then screw up and lose to the hero. Only every spring.
@@dikbozo That's rude
Back when I lived in Toronto, I would hear a lot of "I love Toronto, but I hate the Leafs" from fans of other Canadian teams.
no one likes Toronto, they hate the Oilers even worse
@@pcho93 Count me in on that. I lived in TO in the early to late 80's.
Excessive media coverage attached to one team and hype combined with futility in the playoffs is a potent combination of factors leading to hate. Or at least a sense of satisfying karma.
Best comment yet.
@ebashford5334 Every year there are 31 teams who fail to meet their objective and I find it laughable that there are fans who fail to realize that fact because of their blind hate.
I think the term you are looking for is "schadenfreude"
So the Leafs? At least they're above average. Their constant coverage is even worse when they're a bottom feeder.
Very satisfying when you fully embrace it BTW.
For years I worked with a guy who wore a Bruins jersey to work every Friday. He was a huge pos and no one liked him. I ended up hating the Bruins for years for no reason other then I despised my co-worker
Are you familiar with the term "Masshole"?
Had that with the sabers. A jerk at work used to wear a sabers hat all the time. Hated the guy, so I hated the sabers. Still do for no reason.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention geography. Geography plays a big role in a lot of rivalries, and for me personally I don’t tend to like teams from cities or regions I don’t like.
Did anyone see Bill Burr dissing Philadelphia in "the Philadelphia incident". Too funny, and right on!
Definitely top 3 factor
Especially when there are two teams in the same market. It's impossible not to hate the Rangers as an Islanders fan because you see them every freakin' day.
@@joemckay5 i respect the rags (devil's fan), however there is a certain level of hatred. Philly is the other big one (no hatred just lots of hits.)
Interaction with other teams’ fans is absolutely the undisputed #1 for me
It's also a force multiplier when it occurs at controversial or playoff games
As someone who grew up in New England, I can verify this is why I hate New England based teams 🤣🤣🤣
I would agree. I was looking at a hit and I wasn't even a fan of any of those teams. So I was really commenting how the hit looked liked to me. The fan told me that I don't know anything about hockey and that I have never played the sport. Then I was called a fan of that other team and so on.
Yeah, talking to three fans of another team really tells you everything you need to know the fanbsse as a whole.
Correct. All groups are judged on the merits of their worst members. Welcome to humanity.
Maine is a split state French Acadians root for Le Habs the rest of the state is Bruins. It’s like Red Sox Yankees in CT. The old time rivalry is real and will never end.
Sportsnet makes it so easy to hate the Leafs.
One of the main reason to cheer on the Leaf opponents is to just shut those jerks up.
@@dikbozo Sorry we're popular?
Yep - I actually feel for the fans - they deserve some success (the real ones, not the corporate ones in the lower bowl) but I loathe the day they do win as we will never hear the end of it.
I’m a Leafs fan, and I actually do find Sportsnet annoying when it comes to the Leafs. I can really tell Chris Cuthbert (the Leafs commentator on SN) has a bias towards Toronto. Just listen to his calling for the goals in game 7 in 2024, you can really hear it. Another great example is the 2023 series against Tampa. This is why I liked the previous commentator, Jim Hughson (retired),and TSN commentators better than SN.
What a first world problem to have…”oh no the most popular NHL team gets the most coverage what a catastrophe” lol
Wild fan here and I can confirm.. Chelsea Dagger still pisses me off. No matter how good of a team we had we had no chance against Kane/Toews/Keith/Seabrooke etc.
No one can hate Rick Jeanneret, I get he will sound bias like everyone else but man does it pump up a game. Wish he could have called a Sabres Cup win and seen it finally happen. RIP to the 🐐
Agreed and he was an absolute sweetheart, it’s a shame that things for the Sabres haven’t gone well.
I miss RJ’s voice so much. One of the greatest announcers ever… and he’s from my home area, too!
It also helps that he didn't do national broadcasts (as far as I know)
The voice that was my childhood
Today would have been his birthday too.
Terrible announcers make a fella dislike a team... Like the Bruins... for example.
"If it weren't for the referees, Brad Marchand would have won the Lady Byng 3 times by now!" -Jack Edwards
Ya horrible
Local announcers, especially on radio, should be homers. Edwards took it way too far.
NESN has the worst play by play I've ever seen
Penguins have the worst announcers.
Man we had it so good with our triangle of hate in Cali with the kings, ducks, sharks. It was like a family. Then the Knights came in and ruined it.
Square of hate sound good too😂
Nah, I think it was ruined because all three teams started rebuilding. My Sharks playing the Kings in the playoffs in 2011, 2013, 2014, and 2016 made me really hate them, but it fizzled out when the Kings started rebuilding. The Ducks' rebuild started not long after the Kings', and then the Sharks started theirs a few years later. Based on positions in cycles, I could see it becoming another triangle in California while the Knights are rebuilding.
Right now I will admit I hate the Knights more than any other team. I did the NHLQuebec thing and it was VGK, CHI, STL, LAK, EDM, ANA, VAN, WSH (capfriendly), DAL (now that Pav retired I can hate them again), CGY from hated to tenth most hated.
The Knights are good for the League
Easily the biggest factor is when a team is dominant, they win games. And they win series. They eliminate teams, and they eliminate the storylines and would be stories that people would have remembered if only they had beaten those darn penguins / lightning / whoever knocked out your team. The emotions that brings, people remember them
As a Nashville fan, I still have nightmares about game 6 of the final against Pittsburgh.
Dominance of a team definitely contributes to people hating them, but equally when they start struggling, I think most people go back to being indifferent about them. I'm not happy that Pittsburgh is struggling, I'm just indifferent toward them now
This is clearly number 1. People hate teams that win. It follows that few hate Buffalo. But if Buffalo won the next two cups, many would suddenly hate them.
The culture of certain teams hating eachother just because its always kinda been like that
Perhpas you misunderstand the whole rivalry thing. It is very satisfying when you beat that demon/hated enemy and go on. I can't put down here BC children might read it, just what it isn't better than.
Panther fan here, The way Gretzky and Messier were talking about the Rangers when they played against Florida and then when Edmonton played against Florida you can tell there was bias because those 2 guys played for those 2 teams ,,,P.K. Subban was much more balanced. He gave us props and he criticized us when we deserved it media bias definitely plays a role
Agree. It was nauseating.
All good with me - I HATE the Rangers.
Plus, we won the Cup, so suck it, Great One and Mess.
Gretzky was way more complimentary towards the Panthers, and that's been across the last few playoff runs since he lives in South Florida now and has spent time and money investing in youth hockey here. Can't knock him for having a soft spot for the teams he played for, since he at least has tried to be dignified and throw in good words about our players and team in between it all.
Messier on the other hand was completely shameless. I don't even think he acknowledged that there was another team on the ice- it was ALWAYS framed from a Rangers/Oilers point-of-view. As if they were the 'good guys' and the Panthers were a computer simulation that just existed to be overcome.
Short answer: everything Vegas does
As a Golden Knights fan, I respect that, but...'you hate us 'cause you ain't us.' Quoted with much love. 😀
As a lowly Sens fan, losing Methot from the draft then Stone ending up there….oh man
@@vickybrogan6959 You're hated when you're good. VGK is good
Cry me a river
I think you missed an obvious one: Regional. Battles of Ontario, New York, Alberta, Pennsylvania and Florida have roots beyond anything mentioned.
I grew up an Orioles fan, but I moved to St Louis right around the time that they signed Albert Belle, and let Mike Mussina go to their biggest rival, the Yankees. I really disliked Albert Belle (as did everyone), and I really liked and admired Mike Mussina, and I could understand why he went to New York. I didn't get angry at Mussina at all for going to the Orioles' biggest rival. I blamed the Orioles' management, and it made me less of an Orioles fan for quite a while, and it was easy to switch my primary allegiance to St Louis for baseball. I didn't get angry at Albert Pujols when he left my other favorite baseball team a few years later, nor did I get angry at the St Louis Cardinals management. They didn't want to overpay Albert Pujols, and I was glad that they didn't. But I didn't blame Albert Pujols for taking the bigger contract either.
It depends on how it happens, but I'm willing to blame just the player, just the team, both the player and the team, or even neither one (like with St Louis & Pujols). For a hockey example, I don't blame Kuznetsov or the Washington Capitals management for how things ended for Kuzy in Washington DC.
#5 & #7 are the big ones for me. Playoff series makes me love very competitive series and like the other teams more. Tampa-Boston series from a few years ago is a great example.
The odd thing is how feelings can change over time. As a Wings fan, I hated the Avalanche back in the 90's/early 00s. But now that the Wings are in the East and that generation of players is gone, I actually kind of like the Avalanche and was rooting for them over Tampa a couple years ago in the finals. My only never-ending hatred is for the Flyers. I can't even really explain it, I just hate that franchise.
Ill never “like” the Avs, but goddamn do i respect them. (Was secretly happy for them when they won the cup last year- now it’s our turn!)
I used to REALLY hate you guys back then but now I kinda miss it
"You don't have to like every player on the team" - Case in point this year - I hate the Panthers, but love Coach Paul Maurice and Kyle Okposo. Glad those 2 got the Cup - but as long as they have Turtlechuk, I'll hate them.
Totally agree! When I saw the title What Causes Fans to Hate Certain Teams More Than Others, first thing that came to my mind was the team has a Tkackuk on it lol!
The whole lot of them make dirty plays and slash at people when they're down and when the zebras aren't looking
I don't hate teams, as in players and management, but some fanbases are truly infuriating. (Yes, I know every fanbase has idiots, but still...)
The funniest reason that is 100% true is Jerseys, like I cannot stand Nashville and its purely because of that nasty yellow assaulting my eyes haha.
JORDAN 4 VIVID SULFUR????? YOU WOULDNT???
COME ON!!!!
Hahah yep Nashville's colours are pretty bad, the Flames are by far the worst though... The red and yellow just reminds me of McDonald's and it looks so cheap 😅
@@mentalcow it’s not the jerseys that’s the problem. It’s the yellow helmet, the should be dark blue. It’s what I don’t like about Nashville’s uniforms
Can't forget about those helmets in LA and FV! Granted I already despised those teams before they had those helmets, so it might be a bad example.
The Islanders and Devils have rivalries with the Rangers, but not with each other. That’s because they only played each other in the playoffs once in their history. When one is good, the other is bad. Islanders were a dynasty, while the Devils were a Mickey Mouse team. Devils had Brodeur, while the Islanders traded away Luongo. A playoff series b/w them would make them hate each other like they hate the Rangers
at this point the islanders should hate the canes
A sense of self-importance will do it for me. The Rangers are my most hated team for that reason. The ego of the Leafs or Habs without the fun soap opera factor or the historical/cultural gravity.
LMAO, I knew it! I knew it was gonna get to Chelsea Dagger. Living rent free....I want those days back, I hate being at the bottom.
I feel as though "Marchand" should be one of those 10 reasons a person hates a team. He seems to be that influential to most people...
Excellent video as always THG!
Back when the playoff format was a mini-playoff to win the Patrick, Adams, Smythe and Norris division, teams came up against each other over and over in the playoffs. Rivalries galore. The worst is when one team isn't really better, but simply has the other team's number and keeps eliminating them. Stanley Cup dreams dashed. Bad goal songs are like an extra knife to the gut when your team is knocked out. Or when the other team is mounting a comeback and you hear it two or three times in a few minutes. Rage intensifies! Another is bandwagon fans. People who aren't even fans like popular, famous teams. Similar sentiment to how some people hated Vegas for being so successful so quickly, the fans didn't "earn it" with suffering. Mr. I-don't-know-what-icing-is likes the Leafs? F the Leafs!
As a red wings fan I’ve only hated one team and that was colorado during the 90s and early 2000s but I don’t hate them anymore, in fact I was happy for them when they won their last cup. I was also happy when they won the cup with Borque because I was happy for the player.
Sometimes, there's a combination of 5 and 9. People who were once fans of liked team or who live in a certain market will jump on the bandwagon or defect to another team
Great Video as always. Habs fan here. Bruins - Marchand and Jack Edwards, Leafs - Sportsnet and Matthews; Rangers - Chris f'n Kreider.
Give your ballz a tug. ~ Shoresy 😂
Yeah it should be expected lol
Settle down!
🍻
When you got to 'you again,' my first thought was Pittsburgh vs. Washington, or basically Crosby vs. Ovechkin.
Success or blatant mis-managment is the biggest cause of hate I feel.
I am a Dallas Stars fan. We have not been in the Pacific for quite a while now, and I STILL hate the San Jose Sharks. It started with them running Belfour in the 90s and then the Bryan Marchment hit on Nieuwendyk in the playoffs. Then Owen Nolan sucker punched Grant Marshall and got a 20 game suspension. I absolutely loathed Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau too. It's still weird to me that Mason Marchment is a Dallas Star. Heh.
Honorable mention for missed calls
That is part of the game. Human factor.
Also it will affect everyone in the long run.
I despise Matt Cooke so bad.
He's retired
Don't we all?
Surely if a team trades you to their rival you can't call it a defection by the player, only really would apply if it's free agency signing
Number 7 is basically about Toronto without baming Toronto
Hawks fan here. Hated the Canucks from 09-15/16. The playoff series on 09,10 and 11 were rough. We thought the Canucks were dirty and took alot of cheapshots. Especially Burrows. Public enemy No.1. Glad we won 3 Cups and the Canucks won 0. Sorry Shannon
@MisterCaution lol I couldn't agree more
I remember when Colorado played the Stars, my son hated Jaime Langenbrunner because he'd always cause turnovers and set up scoring chances. The Avs didn't have an answer. He was happy when they lost to the Devils. My mother programmed me to hate the Flyers when I was a kid. I didn't like Dave Schultz but I enjoyed Bobby Clark's ability as a forward.
There are only two principal reasons why a fan hates another team. 1) the hated team is successful and keeps beating your team. 2) The fans of the hated team are perceived as obnoxious and stupid. Everything else is secondary.
YES. THIS. I say this as a Golden Knights fan, and they fit both of your criteria.
Nailed it
I have to agree, these are by far my #1 and #2 reasons for hating the teams that I do
For me though, it's mostly a combo of not liking a player due to off ice behavior, organizations treating players/fans poorly, and fans being obnoxious (although this one i try to look past as I know each team has good and obnoxious fans)
Man I would love to see a team whip out a Ouiji Board during a timeout!
Ouija**
Not sure how/when/where people started calling it Quiji ("weegee"), but I hear/see that a lot. Kinda reminds me of people saying sherbert instead of sherbet.
@@dtmuffinman thanks Literally A-hole.
Rivalry is a big one for me. Like for example Wisconsin vs Minnesota has a massive rivalry across every sport in college and pros
Open up your heart
And let that hate out
“Clayton bigsby”
You mean they *don't* use a ouija board behind the bench?! ::gasps::
GM/owner/whatever else they call the ones who make those decisions off the ice.
The refs couldn't see an Ouija board, so they couldn't use one.
Coaches? Naw, they fly by the seat of their pants, guessing who to put out when. No time for cryptic responses on a board.
This videu massively underestimates ignorant, cult-like fanbases & the medua surrounding those teams. In the NFL its the Cowboys and in the NHL its Toronto. No success in the last 30 years, but both fans and media treat them as the greatest thing since sliced bread.
As a devils fan who works in midtown Manhattan, 5 and 6 hit home for me
I don't know if this counts as #5 but I also find that it is the perception of the fanbase. I feel that the Rangers and Knicks are seen as the team for the suits. Those rich people. So it isn't any interaction with a fan but it is why as a child I chose the Devils.
theres plenty of ranger fans in NJ since they follow their parents fandom. they're usually passionate hockey fans and love to display their support for their team. that said, lets go devils :)
Rangers fans are all over the place. Almost any game and you will see Rangers jerseys throughout the arena
Even though the Vegas Sharks series was a while ago and the sharks haven't been good is so long, I still despise the Sharks
I can't despise them any more (especially since VGK has Hertl)...I just kinda feel sorry for them. Sorta. I mean, the only player left that I can dislike is Logan Couture. All the rest are gone. LOL
@vickybrogan6959 Haha ya I don't really hate the players I just don't like the franchise
As a Flyers fan since 1980, “hate” is usually just rival teams. Fan bases will always be what they are, but team to team is usually always rival based.
goal song for me and you guys again lol but then later on I appreciate being able to watch the great success
i was genuinely shocked the ducks weren't higher, but i was glad to see it :)
Favorite part was the goal song part in my head I said Chelsea dagger and then you said it! lol living here through those cups made me hate that song
I moved to Detroit in 1995 and got into hockey during that year's playoffs. One team I will always hate is the New Jersey Devils, both because of that year's Stanley Cup Finals series (the first series I ever saw my team lose), but also because of the branding (it's easy to hate a team called the "Devils").
Of course in the next year's playoffs, Detroit started a blood feud with the Colorado Avalanche, which immediately gave me multiple reasons to hate them ("Playoff Series", "You Again?", "Dirty hit", "Dirty player"). Those are the only two teams that I really hate.
I also root against Toronto in the playoffs, but that isn't a real emotional "hate" thing. I just want to pass Toronto's Stanley Cup count for #2 overall, and Toronto getting back to winning championships would not be helpful to that end. It's in the same sense that I root against whoever is playing against the Red Wings on any given night, even if I normally like that other team, simply because they are in the way of what my team is trying to accomplish.
#1 Playoff Series. I hated the Sharks after their comeback in the series and game 7 five years ago over the VGK. Took me a long time to watch the highlights of that collapse but I don’t hate them as much anymore so you’re right THG when you say “feelings change over the years” (for some anyways). They will be a good team again with their prospect pool and Vegas will be a bottom feeder one day but I’ll still watch their games when that happens 😊
For 1 to 8 I can summarize by the Nordiques.
I still hate Dale Hunter
I didn’t like Todd Bertuzzi before he joined the Red Wings and my opinion didn’t change once he became a Wing.
A lot of fans dislike his son, more because of the bad memories they have of Todd, than because of anything Tyler ever did.
As a Caps fan it has always been about playoff frustration with mostly Eastern conference teams, but certain players and media coverage has soured me up on other teams.Great list as always!!
I think you have helped me enjoy every team for a different reason Shannon, but I remember hating the Penguins because it felt like they had started the collapse of the Red Wings
It’s kinda funny that the Panthers were used as the example for announcer bias since the national broadcasters hated them lol
Where I have lived:
Ottawa and Calgary
Who have I supported:
Penguins, Canucks, Senators, Flames
Teams that I have disliked:
Avalanche, Lightning, Kings, Maple Leafs, Canadiens, Sabres
Fluky moment that still hurts whenever I see in on NHL Highlights videos:
2011 when Vancouver advanced to Stanley Cup Final over San Jose. Puck ricocheted off a stanchion and ended up in the net. Camera shots of my former neighbour Kent Huskins will live forever because the puck allegedly deflected off him.
The 'You Again' moment that hurt me was when I was cheering for the Sharks and they blew a 3-0 first round series lead against LA in 2014. What made matters worse was that the Kings wound up winning their second Stanley Cup. THANKS DARRYL!!!
I used to be the PA announcer for an AJHL team and like most people, had a strong dislike for the Brooks Bandits. What's worse is when I see Cale Makar dominate on the blue line when I saw him get away with numerous penalties that were NOT CALLED!! Worse still, I kept mispronouncing his last name. How embarrassing. Watching him win awards with Colorado frustrates me even more.
I agree with certain teams that overplay the same goal song (cough Chicago) in one game. My pet peeve living here in Calgary are the songs created by radio stations or fans to get fans pumped up for the Flames only to lose in the first round. Back in 2004, Vibe 98.5 (now Virgin Radio 98.5) created 'In Da Dome' to the tune of 50 Cent's 'In Da Club'. It got a ton of airplay during the Flames incredible run. Unfortunately, whenever the Flames appeared in the playoffs afterwards, the radio station brought the song back into the playlist. I have always that other playoff songs have been a curse to the team.
I generally try not to hate any team in particular. There are good and bad that comes with everything. Things that irritate me though are blatant bias, and sore losers.
My main resentment is the wave of new teams in nontraditional markets (ten out of 29, before Columbus), especially the relocations from Northern towns. So Avs are my only lasting hate, with lower resentment for Dallas, because of how their Cup wins inordinately bolstered the case for making SEC/Pac10 territory the NHL's most hallowed achievement across a generation.
That angle doesn't seem to be covered here.
I've been to Hawks games, and have seen opposing team fans absolutely go into coniptions when Chelsea Dagger comes on.
For branding, I hated the dinseyfied Mighty Ducks branding back in the day. Not the logo or uniforms, but the whole idea of a movie tie-in hockey team really grated on me.
Loving the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs jersey my guy 🤟
Fan interaction plays a huge role.
I’m old school - I may hate a team, but I don’t hate ON a team.
Mark Scheifele is one of those players only one fan base hates/ thinks is dirty. That hit on Jake Evan’s in the playoffs made Jacob Trouba hits look clean
The best goal song of all time is "Shot Down in Flames" by AC/DC that they played at the Saddledome for a season or two. They've changed it since, but it was perfect.
As a 20 year old guy from bc, I still have residual pain and hatred from 2011 cup finals. Anyone but Boston lmao
Playoff rivalries that heat up and end up in injuries will definitely make you “hate” a team:
Kyle McLaren on Richard Zednik Zdeno Chara on Max Pacioretty
Chris Kreider on Carey Price
Getting systematically beat for the better part of a decade by your neighbour will also hit that spot: looking at you Ottawa Senators from the 2000s.
Bad calls from refs during the playoffs: looking at your kicking motion M. Zibanejad (Ottawa again lol).
As a flames fan Shannon still loves and hates us and it’s fun to watch lol
When players embellish and/or run antics after the whistle(Unfortunately this was the 2011 Canucks, but Marchand and the Bruins got away with murder). Burrows biting Bergeron's glove, Marchand submarines the Sedins, Tim Thomas just drew a bunch of penalties by being touched outside his crease, Luongo chirps Thomas about how he plays far out of his net, etc...
The only time I hated a team was in the 1971 Stanley Cup Final when the Montreal Canadiens beat the Chicago Blackhawks in game 7
I used to dislike teams based on what others in my teams fan bases disliked. Or when i kept hearing that team X was playing dirty again. Now i have more time to watch more events and it doesn't happen to often
Quality of an organization/fan base is the #1 reason for myself
Reason I don’t like Vancouver is because of their fans, they are brutal. Shannon is one of the good ones. Never seen a fan base be so ruthless on social’s than the Vancouver fan base during the Oilers/Vancouver series.
I would never get tired of watching the Habs play the Bruins in the playoffs every year. Win or lose.
I certainly never did. It has been too long, '14 PO was the lase one.
The '68 series was my first.
I stopped to go check on the matter and found out it has been 22 series counting that one as first. 15 - 7.
Yup, need another one.
The first ever hockey game I watched was between Montreal and Philly in the 2010 playoffs. I cheered for Montreal at the time because of the colours of their jerseys, and hated Philly for a long time after they went to the finals 😤😂
95% of the reason I hate the Oilers is strictly because of their fan base
I hate them because of their captain.
I promise you its not that bad in Edmonton. Look at Vancouver when the playoffs started and kept saying f McDavid and Zach Hyman like the little kid was saying it too. I personally hate Chicago the most because of bowmen and if he comes here im gonna cheer for the Utah Missionary Crusaders
I like Stu, Hyman, other then that I hate everything about them
I was about to say this. I've grown to hope that McDavid and Drysaitl never win a cup under the Oilers just so I never have to hear it from their fans. The amount of noise they made their playoff made it sound like they won the cup before hitting the SCF. I really hope their contracts expiring within the next few years sends them into a rebuilding stage so I don't have to hear them anymore.
I hate them for pretty much everything on that list. Kings fan btw.
Yes, you can say that about the Oilers fanbase. That's the obnoxious one. Every win they act like they won the cup. Most arrogant fanbase ever. That's why them losing was so gratifying.
I'm right there with you. Oilers fans conveniently forget the only time they were champions was when a little known player named Gretzky played for them.
Careful, bud. You are playing with fire. The team whose name rhymes with Chleafs fans might disagree. Having seen them get close to the Final, I can understand just how obnoxious the current fanbase there would be should they get to the next level. Given the media onslaught that would occur 24/7 during that sort of run, you would long for this past season's hero worship as 'The Good Old Days' when things were just good spirited and people were happy. I now have to go rinse out my brain BC I was imagining it again. Gotta see if the doc has any good chemical treatments short of brain bleach.
@@bretwilliams249not like they ever won a cup without Gretzky right?
As a Panthers fan, beside our natural rivals (Bruins, Tampa, Rangers) I dislike Edmonton now because of Draisaitl. That play against Barkov, salt of the earth guy, was despicable. Can't wait for the immediate line brawl next year
Rangers are a natural rival but not the Islanders!? 🙄
Fellow Cats fan and 💯 agree!! Although my resentment is much more towards Draisaitl personally rather than the whole team
@@BodyAndSol96 As long as he's on the Oilers, they'll get my ire as a group.
Edit:Their coach is an idiot for calling us the Buffalo Bills of the NHL before the series.
Panthers are the kings of dirtbag hockey for the past two years and you're gonna talk about despicable plays? Give me a break.
@@TheDetonationIf people want to punch the guys they deem dirty on the team then I get it., But Barkov. F that
My uncle said “anyone in canada who wins i will cheer for but not leafs, they’re fans are annoying” i turned around and said “you cheer for Vancouver, dont you see that the bad fans always get the press attention?” And his brain was broken for a solid 2 days after that 🤣
I think use of ltir is also a big one aswell as immediate success like Vegas
The Leafs and their fans and media come to mind immediately, but they’re more funny than detestable at this point.
2000 still hurts nearly a quarter century later. I will always hate San Jose. Even though we don't play them in the 1st anymore, it's always them in the WCF now
Interactions with other team's fans and the city had been a big one for me. I've been known to say that I haven't met a Flames fan that I would sit down and have a beer with.
#5 Interactions with other Fans + #2 Certain Players are tops for me. Btw, Blackhawks fan since '93, who truly believes "Chelsea Dagger" should have been retired 6-7 seasons ago. 🙄
Neat, I commented around that time a bit before that video was made about Chris Nilan going from Montreal->Boston->Montreal and how on a talk show on TV, he was there to talk about CTE which he suffers from, a lot, no surprise, the amount of times he and Dale Hunter went at it must not have been good on his noggin'. He spoke a little french from living in montreal and he was like "Boston c'est pas bon" lol, which does rhyme in french. I hope THG picked that off the comment I made, if not, all good anyways.
lol the delivery at 0:48 "'I knew you always hated my team' What?" gives Taylor Swift a run for her money on "We Are Never Getting Back Together": "When you said you needed space...What?"
part of the reason i hate the oilers is that annoying ass goal horn
Yeah it's pretty annoying, that shrill just makes my skin crawl, and I don't really even dislike the Oilers, but I hate that horn.
we are one video closer to a dedicated 2 hours long full blown Habs vs Bruins history video
YES! YES! YES!
Most of it should be Habs vs Bruins from the game 7 in 1979😂🎉
@@michaelleroy9281 How little you seem to know. The '77 Cup was 4-0. The '71 Cup was the 'rebuilding' Habs vs the Mighty Scoring Machine Bruins, IIRC the first team to have 12 20 goal scorers and 300 team goals for the season.
Little known fact for the Leaf fans is the 10 -0 PO game that followed the '67 Cup. The Bruins did that and followed it up with a 7-0 the next game. Took until '69 PO BC Leafs missed in '68.
TRDL: it's a bad matchup for Boston
@@peterroberts4415 One who gets it.
"Chelsea Dagger" is the ringtone on my cell phone. Trust me, we KNOW how much fans of other teams hate that song. One of the teams that Blackhawks' fans don't like is Nashville. We don't like that when the Hawks are in town, they only sell tickets online to TN residents. We also don't like the chants they do when the Preds score. Then, there are the yellow jerseys.
Rivalries... There were quite good ones with Montreal - Boston, Montreal -Quebec, Ottawa - Toronto and Pittsburg - Philadelphia.
Also, not just the bias from announcers, but sports channels too. Specially when the only broadcasting channel in Canada is pretty much Sportsnet and they talk mostly about the Leafs. You're watching a Calgary-Edmonton game and they talk about the Leafs during that game and intermission.
A good example of why the Leafs will never be 'Canada's Team'.
On number one, my example would be my hate of Toronto all because I watched the Flyers play them in the playoffs in 2004. The Blackhawks are another team I became of the 2010 Finals, even before we knew about the behind the scenes dirty work.
I can totally relate to number two. My example is that time Tony DeAngelo was a Flyer.
Number ten, Ron Hextall, Jeff Carter, Kevin Hayes and JVR.
I agree with the jersey thing to an extent. Those neon green Stars jerseys hurt my eyes, and even though it isn't enough to hate the team, but it definitely makes me not want to watch the games they are wearing them in.
Buying and disabling a fan-favorite website for stats, salary cap and contract details for every team.
Ever since Kreider ran over Price, the Rangers are never allowed to win in my books
A huge one is when a team moves. If the Coyotes come back to the league, I don't think their fans will be warm and fuzzy towards Utah.
