Yeah the leafs have annoying fans but habs fans are more obtuse because they act with this holier than thou, know it all hockey perspective and feel unimpeachable because they watch hockey at the mecca that is the Bell Center.

It was one writer and he was about the team - not sure it was racist at all.

If you are a Jays fan it’s hard to recognize how sickening the coverage is.

I understand the coverage can be annoying if you aren’t a fan but how is it “sickening”?

[Blaster86]

I am sickened by how poorly some people have chosen to vote. That's something that's truly sickening.

I don’t hate but really don’t like all the other Canadian teams … American teams I’m indifferent to.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Contenders here:

-Toronto (most talked about team, most annually overrated team, their fans, Treliving)
-Vegas (instant success, cheating the system, edging the Flames out in trades, bandwagon fans)
-Anaheim (residual curse disgust, finger guns, Trouba)
-LA (Doughty vs Tkachuk and now Andersson)
-NYR (Siphoning talent from everywhere, Fox, Trouba until recently)

Vegas
Anaheim
Chicago

Then there aren't really a ton of teams I hate

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

I have to say that probably two of the best mornings of the year are the ones that follow the Leafs and the Oilers being eliminated.

I think that's pretty telling.

Vegas again for me as I didn't have the Canucks at number 2. They aren't and haven't been any good for a long time now and as a result, just aren't a team I dislike right now (especially compared to the old Westcoast Express days with the characters they had on their team). Canuck fans also which make up a good 70% of my friends group are unanimously depressed, sad and no longer arrogant like they used to be for the longest time. Just a generally sad group I sort of feel bad for these days lol after Benning loaded up on terrible contracts for terrible players and now Rutherford and Allvin are selling the farm in hopes of keeping Quinn around (spoiler alert - he ain't staying!), and love to add random picks in deals unnecessarily, further gutting their future.

Vegas is in the elite group almost every year since joining the league, has already won a cup, is a highly desirable destination for players which is a complete 180 compared to Calgary and their fans haven't gone through any pain whatsoever. Very worthy of my hate...

No in fact I'd assume it 100% wasn't.

We see homer trophy picks every year in Edmonton. Same from Montreal back in the day.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Florida. Sure they saved us from an Oilers cup but several other eastern teams could have done that for us. And I love Benny.

But tkachuk is a POS, they’re dirty AF, their fans suck, their whole state sucks and I’m tired of people on CP whining about our trades with them.

Now that they’ve got their cups they can #### right off.

The Canadians may have taken a cup (not sure what you mean by 2?) but the Toronto Maple Leafs fleeced us twice in two of our all time worst trades.

That and English Canada Eastern bias has my vote.

Canadians are next. With all their Cups being won while the rest of Canada was off fighting Nazis. But that's for another day.

I heard that writer's argument was that he couldn't give a major award vote to a player on a team that missed the playoffs.

So stupid... but not racist.

That was an excuse to vote for his guy. Thing is, he didn’t even put Iginla on his ballot at all. So not even fifth (which would have been enough for him to win).

Same bottom 3 remaining for me… then Detroit.

How anybody can hate Vegas more than Toronto and Montreal I'll never understand.
