Were you rooting for the Leafs in the first series? I'm curious as to where your true hatreds lie lol.
- RhinoFan

Wasn’t rooting for either
Hate them BOTH

If they were both in the Cup,
i probably wouldn’t watch
Just like i barely watched any of the TOR vs BOS series

F both of those teams

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- jcragcrumple

Also...
isn’t it worse for a team who came into the league getting the ultimate success before us?

I’m just confused by the logic behind your thinking here

I dont want to be the oldest franchise without a cup. Ergo, stl and van must not win

Don't you scurry away from the question you sneaky devil!

If you had to choose, which would you have rather seen win?

For good measure, I give you a machine gun cat meme to go along:



You....are....welcome.

You rooted for Boston


- jcragcrumple

I had a similar convo on twatter. It was like getting someone to admit to listening to Nickelback.

You rooted for Boston


- jcragcrumple

I really didn’t watch
The only FEELINGS i had was that i knew i was gonna cheer for Tampa or Cbus in the next round

If i really had to choose who i hate more right now, I’d actually hate Boston more bc i cant stand Marchand & I’ve always liked Tavares

That said...
i could never cheer for either team to win the Cup

Go boston ..

I’m not going to watch as I hate both teams
But I can’t deal with the fights every day if ROR wins a cup

- jcragcrumple

Like i said,
that doesn’t mean much to me at all

Certainly not even close to as much as my disdain for our division rivals

I’d even cheer for those teams over Philly, Carolina, NyR, etc... teams that i dislike on a lower level
Kinda rare that i ever cheer for the Eastern Conference really

You like Nickelback too???

Gross

I don't have decades of disdain for them. Sure, maybe in the 80's I hated them.

Now, I admire and respect that franchise. It's a well-run franchise with players who respect the crest. They draft well and have a long line of players who play their asses off for that city (I can't stand the FANS of that city, but that's another thing altogether)
- Powerslave

^^This^^

I want a TEAM that plays as they do.
Closest they ever came was with Dom and Michael Pecca...was pretty, pretty good.
I admire their consistency.
Playing for the Crest, or Culture matters.
But, I'vd been told that doesn't matter.

If Marchand was on Winnipeg (or wherever),
then i can see your point...
but he’s on Boston! The freaking Bruins!

Again...
Idk know how a Sabres fan could EVER actually cheer for them to win a Cup?!
- jdfitz77

OMG!!!!! totes agree, CAN you BELIEVE how silly this season HAS been???!?!?!?

MY emotions are so high BECUause of Ror I don’t THINK I can EVEN watch these SERIES!!!!!!!! Chara is just pfffff, right!!!?!?!?!?

I hate Carolina more than anyone in our division except Toronto as I said. I hate the Jets more than any team except Toronto because they finally won a playoff series for the first time last year and suddenly their fans were the cockiest alive.

The only exception to my "no STL and Vancouver" rule would be Toronto. If it was Toronto vs Stl, I would go with STL.

You like Nickelback too???

EWww RigHT!!!! So vomit

Go boston ..

- gerbe75pts

Ew

Even if StL got swept in the 1st round...
Still would’ve been a horrible trade by Botts

And whether or not the Blues win the Cup,
the “ROR is a cancer” argument has long been blown outta the water

I really didn’t watch

That's fair. It's all individual. I'd still argue that I think a lot of us were rooting for the Bruins in that series at least.

Hahahaha. Exactly.

90% of Sabres fans were rooting for Boston against the leafs

And rightfully so, F the Leafs is no longer a theory. Our brightest minds have tested it and it is now considered scientific law.

I believe the formula is something like this.

F the Leafs X (2) = Being a real Sabres fan

- RhinoFan

I could see Sabres fans hating the Leafs more than Boston...
That’s a lesser of 2 evils kinda thing, and both teams are neck & neck in that department

It’s still tough to imagine how anyone could root for either team to win the Cup though

Hahahaha. Exactly.

I think subbing in Boston there makes that equation work as well

- jdfitz77

They tried...the math simply didn't work out as clean as the Loafers Theory had.

Something was missing. It started with L and sounded like Lou Cheech.

The better ror does, the worse jbotts, the Sabres and by extension the fans look.

But seriously, haven't you hated the Bruins since birth?
- Boss34

I hated them in the early to mid 80's.

But how could anyone hate a team with perhaps greatest power forward ever (I smell another debate in 3, 2, 1...😂) in Cam Neely?

Call it Bonkers, but I don't hate that franchise.

Now, you wanna talk about the Leafs? THAT'S a team, fanbase, organization I truly loathe.
