Idiot fans are everywhere but I guess because there are so many more leaf fans than any other team, there are more idiot leaf fans than there are for any other team. Not every leaf fan is an idiot, there just seems to be more of them around.

You also have to see it from a Leafs-fan's perspective. When Calgary had Dion was the team ever this BAD for so long?
It definitely isn't Phaneuf's fault but when a team has been this pathetic for this many years, the fans get frustrated and Phaneuf seems to be one of the guys some fans are picking on. Every situation is different...but if this exact scenario had played out in Calgary I'm sure the fan reaction would be the same.
