I’ve traveled to six continents and met all kinds of fans, for most forms of organized and/or professional sports.
Boston-area fans are right up there with the most obnoxious and “pick a hand” worthy I’ve ever met.

Thornton will lift the cup in Boston and those fans can go f*** themselves.

Philly fans are worse. There is something seriously wrong with them. It must be something in the water.
I surprised that you wouldn't mind seeing Thornton lift the cup before Hank. First Ovie then possibly Thornton. No thank you. Go Blues. Yeah I'm still bitter about not having the lock at #19 after that bullshit 5 minute major.

Ironically enough, I’ve found Philly fans often remind me NY sports fans, but with more rough edges.

You mean wooder. There’s something in the wooder.

And did I hear you say you have a girlfriend?
It wasn't easy finding one who tolerates my obsession so I hope I can hang on to this one

What's particularly weird about THAT is that they don't even acknowledge it's an accent or a dialect, they will flat out argue with you that that's actually how it's supposed to be pronounced

My best friend/neighbor growing up was from Chicago, and his mom would always rip on everywhere for how we say 'water' here lol. Edit: sorry, CHICAIGO.

Justin Williams is having a pretty embarrassing series.
That's a funny thing to argue about in a region that literally invented a word that means anything.

A Philly fan individually is actually tolerable and can be a fun conversation.
Philly fans in a group are worse than a violent street gang.

I went to college not terribly far from Philly so I was surrounded by those people for years. It's toward the top of my list of places I've actually been where I wouldn't ever want to live.

Welp, see you in another 10 years Canes. Now that the dust has settled, once again, it's the best teams that are in line for the cup. All of the pretenders have been eliminated. "anything can happen" my ass.

If Boston wins, we have had 1 team with just 1 cup in the last 10 years. Every other team has won at least 2 (CHI, PIT, BOS, LAK).
The NHL is no better than the NBA

Yeah but in the east in the nba the last 8 finals have been represented by 2 teams....2 teams in the west the last 6 years.
If you look at the finals matchups the last 6 to 10 years it’s no comparison...sure these same teams are winning...but it’s different matchups every time seemingly.
Look at the losing teams... Vegas, sjs, press, Tampa, nyr, Boston, van, philly, nj, etc
You’re not watching the same two teams ever year.

hey hanrahan!
Some teams are just shitty and keep building wrong and not giving enough of a f***.
It's the same reason Baskin Robins never adds "deep sea detritus" to their 31 flavor list.

I've work in the Philly area for the last 15 years, they are very passion about all their sports teams, yes they are a very obnoxious group
I lived in Philadelphia for seven years. The key is stay away from the cheap seats. The old 700 level at the Vet and upstairs at The Spectrum were deadly places.

G7 SCF, in Boston, Thornton with 3 goals already in a 3-3 game in OT. He scores his 4th and the GWG to lift the cup with one hand because the other one is busy.
