As Nashville fans we have been redheaded step children for years trying to fit in. Like others have pointed out any Blackhawk would be booed here. Along with Perry and $uter. One thing you have never heard is Pred fans booing there own team, something that many cities do on a regular basis. So to make a point of our fans singling out a few is disingenuous by a lot who are getting there drawers in a wad here. Many former players from Nashville have endured the you suck. Chris Mason, Lindback, Dan Ellis, and a host of others but this was only after a round of applause and usually a appreciation clip on the jumbotron. Granted by far we do noit have the largest NHL fanbase but we do have a good core of hardcore fans and the base does grow year over year.
I have been to many NHL games outside of Nashville and I know for a fact that most fans from other teams are treated better here than I have experienced elsewhere. The two exceptions Colorado and Tampa I have always been treated well there. There are bad apples in every fanbase but there are truly a few teams that are just horrid to outside fans. I doubt we will ever bet that way with one execption. The drunks from Chicago we will never accept that type behavior. At some point I hope that ownership will allow Metro Police to do there job and haul these fools to the pokey, but thus far they have restrained from doing this.
