Ok, I live in Oregon, So I have no geographic rooting interest in hockey, but i am interested in learning about the sport. Which is a good team to root for? Why do people seemingly hate the Maple leafs? (they are leaves, who could hate that?)
>>19032fucking secondedThe sharks are a good team to root for. Maybe if the Seattle Metropolitans come back you can root for them. Talk about some old time hockey, yo.
>>19035Pretty much, The Leafs though are more hated by the Canadian media more than anything else really, other than being losers I really can't add to why they're hated so much.
The Leafs are kinda like the Cubs of hockey.I'd say cheer for the Sharks, although their new jerseys suck ass compared to their last one.
Wasn't there an interest in moving a team to Portland, Oregon a few years back? The Preds maybe?A team in the Pacific northwest might be better than oh say...Kansas City.
>>19036Seattle Mets? sounds plain wrong.
Detroit Red Wings. GO WINGS GO!!!
>>19076LOL Enjoy your first-round sweep by Chicago.
The Leafs are so hated because they're in Toronto, and all Canadians not from Toronto are obligated to hate the city.
