Fanbase vs fanbase frictions aside. I would hate Leafs franchise much less if their logo would be red or darkpink, and that leaf would be from birch not from maple. A leaflet of Sorbus aucuparia would do the job too, particularly if it's black on grey background.
Players of Leafs doesn't cause hate, and their team composition is very good. Babcock seems to be rational and competent coach. Logo, colors and Leafs' HFB PR-detachment have instead sometimes tendency to lit my rage.
However, Finnish players in the Leafs' roster are considered "sub-Finns" during their stints. This label is immediately and automaticly removed upon them when they get free from their contracts with the Hockey Mecca's franchise. They somehow disagrace the colors of Flag of Finland when playing there.
Yes. Most parts of my hate are irrational.
