That is your prerogative, but says more about yourself than anything.

Its a joke, but you got sensitive over it. lol

Hey I was born in Tennessee and my family lineage here goes back to before Tennessee was a state and I have been a hockey fan for at least 30 years. So yeah the natives love this team too!!!

Haha fair enough. Point is we've got an eclectic crew, both natives and ex-pats, and this was a great game.

Filthy second goal by FF. Would love him on the Isles.

You should probably start by adding, you know, a real defense and goalie first lol. Maybe a coach and GM too.

But you're right, you could play FF9 on defense and he'd be your best defensive player, he sure is something

Preds will win but you're out to lunch. Kinda Wishing I didn't pick Preds to SCF in my pool now.

If you don't think the preds dominated in the 3rd I don't know what to tell you. You watched a completely different game than everyone else

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

I get you, just the whole idea our fanbase is somehow not real hockey fans always is a needle in my side. The marketing department has done such a fantastic job of generating interest in the game and to get a ground swell of support for the team. It’s just annoying that old thought processes still show up.

Don't take it personally. Most Aves fans hadn't even heard of the team until there was free beer offered at the 2001 cup parade.

They make MacGinnon into some sort of star when his career ppg is barely rnh level.

 

[Gnashville]

Why would anyone jump on our bandwagon though? For the legal 'grass' I suppose

You literally won the Cup in your first ever season.

Firstly, the notion that Soderberg, a Masterton nominee, is dirty, is beyond comical. Secondly, my 8 year old daughter doesn't say 'cool story bro" anymore

It was so hard to keep myself from "cool story bro"ing this post

...I should go work out before bed...

I also wouldn’t mind Subban or Rinne while we are at it.

I guess that makes literally 100% of us bandwagoners

 

[Foppberg]

Its a joke, but you got sensitive over it. lol

I love when people make a passive aggressive comment and then play the "hey it's just a joke man!" card. Clearly you weren't joking, you were being a ****

Oh well, good game Preds. Had our chances and it just didn't happen, onto the next one.

True but Denver sports fans have...short memories...about any team other than the Broncos

 

[Foppberg]

You literally won the Cup in your first ever season.

Those fans are long gone though, they left once Sacco took the bench. They'll surely be back when/if we become a legit team though, Denver is a bandwagon city. Too many damn transplants.

 

[vipera1960]

Good game Nashville.

Least we can all agree that gatorade commercial was awkward af

Tbf those guys are like still in the playoffs and stuff......



(Right, I mean seriously the ad would just be stupid, and they wouldn’t do that, would they?)

 

[cgf]

*shrug* Those of us who became fans during the golden age kinda were, though sticking through the past decade since Joe retired weeded out all of the bandwagoners...even if they're starting to come back out of the woodwork

Hear you man, tbhI was a huge Avs fan when I was a kid when the Preds showed up. They were my second team, logo was sick and always liked Forsberg and Sakic. Detroit vs Colorado was classic.

I just wish fans wouldn’t take stuff so personally that they have to insult another fanbase. I’ll not let it bother me so much. It’s just fans being fans I guess.

No just pointing out fanbases have to start somewhere and Avs fans started with a Cup. Predators fans started by watching a putrid expansion team playing an extremely boring brand of hockey. The whole “bandwagon” argument is stupid when the fans have been using the same chants for 20 years and most of it through those putrid years.

Dude, you have to have an extremely low IQ, or lack of common sense to believe a couple of loud people represents a fanbase as a whole.
Its a joke lmao.

 

[MacBradley]

Rinne was easily the most influential player on tonight's outcome. Impressive to watch even when losing to him. If the Avs top line's chances were taken on Bernier instead, they would have had 8 goals.
