Canadiens and Canucks Make List of Most Annoying Sports Fans

Imagine the most annoying French person you’ve ever met…Now picture 18,250 of them together under one roof, and you might get a vague idea of what the Canadiens’ fan base is all about.

Next time you see a possible date rapist in the corner of a trendy wine bar sporting a $200 hair cut, $600 suit, and emanating a distinct air of scumbag from his Drakkar Noir-soaked pores – go ahead and ask him about Roberto Luongo, because odds are he’s a Vancouver Canucks fan and needs someone to talk to.

It’s remarkable how arrogant the fan base of a team with zero Stanley Cups, no Hall of Fame players, and two homoerotic Swedish twins that seem physically afraid of the playoffs can act.

Ahhhh I now have to put this website on my 10 ten list of favourite things on the internet.

So much f—-ing win in that article. And thank god they didn’t resort to the tired trope of Leaf bashing.

also, not surprising, the comments there are to be expected

Absolute brilliance!

I’d have found a way to include SNES fans on that list… of course, to do that they would actually have to HAVE fans to begin with, so…

Being a Leaf fan here requires one to be sufficiently lubricated... and truculent!

I think PPP needs someone to do a version of this, but all hockey, of course. Like a general-overview kind of piece with lot’s of pics for all those Snes fans that can’t read.

Hahahaha! One Vancouverite blamed the ‘Nucks terrible teams on “too many Hindus” living in Vancouver. I’ve yet to hear a single Toronto fan blame Toronto’s playoff drought on the number of Sikhs that live in the GTA.

I hear there’s also a large Jewish community in Toronto…. ;D

Nah, we’ll just keep blaming our troubles on Toskala.

Sen’s fans should be there too, but no one cares about the Senators.

Good call

As a Cubs fan, I thoroughly enjoyed that. Especially the Duke write-up.

Have to say I was a little surprised not to see the Flyers or Yankees make the list.

What’s the point of putting Flyers fans on there? You’re not going to gain hits from pissing them off since none of them can read.

Go Flyers!

Well you see the Red Sox spend a little over half what the Yankees do so they’re much worse.

Everyone forgot about how annoying the Yankees are because the Red Sox have been pounding them since 2004. If the Yankees go deep in the playoffs this year I’m assuming that will change in a hurry.

success+large fan base x proximity to fan base / recent success of your own fan base = irritation rating

That’s true in terms of how much more the Yankees spend over everyone else, but Boston is still an excess of $120 million in payroll. So crying afoul over how much more the Yankees spend over the BoSox doesn’t garner a whole lot of sympathy from other teams. Boston with $120 million is still top 5 in MLB payroll.

LAFF

I love how there are multiple comments whining that Leafs fans aren’t included.

Wah wah wah.

And all that whining by the other fans is why their teams are on the list.

the worst is the one guy who says “I’m a Leaf fan and I think we should be on the list because” what a maroon. He is either a delusional moron who THINKS he is a leaf fan or a sens fan in disguise trying to “hype up” his cause

Give it a few years, Skinny. Given your close proximity to Chemmy and the Leaf’s almost supernatural capacity to disappoint us, you might be calling yourself one sometime in the not so distant future. ;)
