I will readily admit I know less about hockey, the sport itself, than most of this forum.
There's no need to get defensive.

Feels like you are dismissing opinions that are different from your as being less informed. I think it is arrogant to say that the average Canadian baseball fan knows less than the average American baseball fan. Are we talking about hard core fans - because I would say in those cases they would have similar knowledge levels. Or are we talking about casual v. hard core fans?
And yes it is the same when Canadians look down on the opinions of American hockey fans. That's arrogant too.
