Default Which Other Teams' Forums Do You Read?
I am sure like me lots of CPers enjoy looking at (but not trolling) other teams' boards for information and to see what their fans are saying about our Flames, but several teams appear to have more than one popular forum.

Which are the best of the other teams' forums (eg. VAN and TOR) for entertainment value? Thanks.

This is the only board for another team worth reading, IMO.

Used to read others, but nothing good came of it - the crap:quality ratio was way too high.

I read Oilers forums from time to time.

Mostly for schadenfreude.

^^ Thanks but can you please be more specific. That is which one of the Leafs or Nucks boards is best to look at occasionally? Eg TOR has HF, Leafsnation etc.

I'll actually read just about anything, except Canucks blogs/forums.

The Oilers as a team will always be rival #1 for me.

But as a group of fans, the only ones I really hold in complete contempt are Canucks fans.

Complete. Contempt.

I read HF but don't post there. I like that there is a forum for all the teams

The individual team sub-forums on HF aren't too bad, but stay away from the main NHL board. No good ever comes from reading that

Trying to read CDC is just painful. Sheer, valueless pain. It is a similar quality to reading the comments on a Yahoo.ca article

Maybe it's the CDC paste they eat over there that makes them all trolls

My home board (visited by your Nickerjones) is Blackhawkzone (formerly Wirtzsucks), oddly, that one is less active now, that the team is doing well...when we were "no good", it was a busy place to commiserate our collective misfortune, as fans of the team with the worst owner in sports' history, William Wadsworth Wirtz (as voted by ESPN polls a couple of times!)...Your's is the only Non-Chicago board I visit during the regular season, as I was invited by Nicker, and this board has an active and knowledgeable membership, with numerous interesting threads. Also, I am registered on a Shark's board, that I visited during a playoff (not to troll, as those that have seen my posts here can attest).

Just hfboards. Like someone else said, the other teams subforums can be good reads, but the main forums seem to be frequented by teenagers mostly, at least as far as the maturity levels go.

I dig having resident team posters like you foss, landshark is great too and some others as well... its the true rival teams that are tougher to take sometimes but I think without them it would be a somewhat boring board. Always look forward to your insights from the Hawks side when we play you though foss man, keep it coming
