They were all trashing the Leafs like crazy for some reason. Why? I have no idea. But I am kind of neutral to the Oilers winning now because their fans seem like pricks.

My fellow Canucks fans are the worst for it. I have spoken to old-time Nucks fans who still hate the Leafs for having to pay indemnification fees to them post-expansion. That and the general inferiority complex of Vancouver vis-a-vis all things Toronto and the coverage the Leafs get across the country. I would know, I was born there.
I think with the Oilers, it must've started in the mid-90s. I know a lot of older Oiler fans who are still sad/resentful over losing CuJo to Toronto in free agency because they couldn't compete with the big-market Leafs.
