That's a pretty massive assumption. I bet there are as many people who absolutely hate those teams as there are who love them, if not more.

You seem to forget that athletes also grew up as fans, and thus have their own biases. If for some magical reason I were lucky enough to play in the NHL and had the choice if teams regardless of salary, I sure as hell wouldn't want to play for a team like the Leafs that I've hated all my life.

The Yankees can also lick my nutsack.
