Drunkard Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 2 minutes ago, #freejame said: Part of it comes from a baseball mindset. It’s my favorite sport and what I follow most closely. I’ll be damned if some dirty American League team wins the WS, so I always pull for the National League. If I’m going to pull for a home league/conference, why not extrapolate that all the way to division (though I couldn’t stomach an NLE win right now, less the Nats). What’s good enough for one sport is good enough for the other. I’d rather Boston win the next ten cups than ten teams without cups (since 1970 to include the leafs) win one. Maybe I’m petty. Maybe it’s a bit of schadenfreude. But so long as my teams aren’t winning, let those with wins keep winning. Fair enough. Thanks for explaining. We'll never agree but I understand the mindset. I think my hate for Boston trumps everything else because I can see no situation where I'd root for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather feel hatred towards a rival than disappointed over yet another team coming into yet another league and winning a championship before my teams do. I'm already at maximum hate for Boston and have been for years. I'd root for ISIS over Boston as well as Hitler, Kim Jong Un, Vladimir Putin, and the Devil himself.

Kruppstahl Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 I always put the Blues in a special category along with the Canucks--I see them both as sibling franchises to the Sabres. We all came into the league around the same time and none of us have won a Cup. Further, Vancouver and St. Louis have never really done anything bad against the Sabres, so I like them more than most franchises. So we will get a repeat of the 1970 Stanley Cup finals. I hope it goes the other way around this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabulous talent. Dominant player. Once the Sabres came along Boston became my second most hated team, after the Leaves. Nothing has changed. Lets Go Blues!!!

wingnut Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 If I had a gun with two bullets, and I was stuck in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and the Toronto Maple Leafs, I'd shoot the Boston Bruins twice. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have that sort of hate for them, but it has been so long since we have been engaged in a meaningful rivalry with them, I just see them as another team now. Same for Montreal, who I used to despise even worse than the Bruins. In fact, we have been so bad for so long now I am not sure I really hate anyone in the league. That stuff all fades with the passage of time. I think the only team left is TO, and that's only because of their many classless fans that invade our building and behave like animals. I never really had anything against the Leafs themselves, as in my mind they are a Norris division team in the other conference and our paths just don't cross that much. Well, that's how it always used to be anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I have a lot of friends from Boston. I always root for Boston to lose unless they make it to the Finals. In this case, I want them to win because I don't mind being happy for my friends now that the Bruins have basically been giving me the finger all of the playoffs. They are the kind of friends who would be the same way were the roles reversed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
