True. The difference is that, in hockey (unlike the other sports), there are two different markets, and one of the markets has insane fans, no privacy, and cold weather, while the other has anonymity.
Are there stupid fans everywhere? Of course. Is it a similar experience in Vancouver, vs Seattle (for example)? They're not even in the same universe.
