It's like this everywhere. And even the 'drunk and hardcore' guys at the bell know jack **** about hockey half the time. I've sat in the blues for 99% of the games I've seen at the Bell, and let me tell you, half don't know the difference between icing or offside.
This so much.
I'd say I've sat more in the reds than blues. The fans in the blues are louder, but there have been many that don't know **** about the game or a few star players and I've had times in the reds where I have seen guys have deep discussions of hockey around the league. The opinions really are objective though.. I mean everyone will have different experiences. Personally, I've enjoyed my times in the red than I have in the blues, but it just means I go to less games, paying more for reds.
Best seats ever are the Desjardins seats. Love the view. Free food too.
