Bolts vs Leafs GNT

I'm not sure how to feel about your statement because there is not a smilie to indicate how I *should* feel.

That's because I'm super cereal.

Of course he was joking around, he has nothing but the upmost respect for all Southern teams, and thinks they really add to the overall quality to the NHL.

You typed that with a straight face, didn't you?

I was going to come back and say I most likely shouldn't of let my emotions get the better of me. (No I'm not sorry for it.) But instead I have a question. Are Southern hockey teams really just a joke in what seems to be the popular view? Because as a Southern team hockey fan and as a Southern I do take that a bit personally. Granted I'm aware I shouldn't. But considering how much emotion tends to go into a game and a team it's kind of hard not to. It's an honest question. An honest answer would be nice.

Don't let it get to you, he thinks all teams South of the Canadian border are a joke, and don't have fans as passionate as they are in Canada.

My advice is to just keep on keeping on.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

If you get annoyed by him, just wear these:

Damn, I hope I don't have to explain this joke?

Nope. And I know you all were just trying to defuse the whole situation a bit. I guess I was still a bit on edge. So I didn't take the comments in the way they were meant. For that I'm sorry.

Just a select few. There are quite a few places south of the border whose fans are even more passionate than ours are in Toronto, Buffalo being one.

I know that, I just wanted to see you say it.

When teams have no attendance, no on ice success AND no hockey history that franchise is unlikely to be taken seriously.

The Lightning seem to have a bright future, so long as people support them. Right now the Lightning are lower-middle class in terms of attendance.

Never mind Mr. Sour Leafs forever, he's just a sore loser.

I realize that. But that can be said for teams that aren't in the South. I know the Lightning don't get the support they should. I know they have what it takes to be a great team. So I hold out hope yet. Perhaps I'm a bit to vigorous in my efforts to defend my team.

 

[Cricket]

Oh yeah. I'm damn proud to have lived in a "redneck hell hole" all my life. I felt that should be said.

I'd like to think so, but your rink has been half empty for so many years now, even in the ones you were a first place team. Jersey is more fickle than anything else.

Hockey in the South has been something of a joke for many years now, and teams like the Yotes don't help to make those jokes go away.

This is just something that will be said no matter how hard of a fan you are.

Over the years I've learned never to take anything to heart that is said on an internet message board. It's not worth it.

Yotes aren't in the south. :p

Last I checked they are South of Canada. :tongue1:

Some of us are such die hard fans we will even go as far as attending games in the middle of Newark

 

[IPostedWhat]

But seriously, it applies to any team that plays in a warm climate most of the year.

That only matters if your from Canada.
