There's a smugness among Canadian hockey fans because the sport is such a big part of the culture. That alone would be annoying for hockey fans in the sunbelt to deal with.
Winnipeg and QC hockey fans had to deal with a huge loss when their teams left. My friend seriously thinks it damaged his ability to trust loved ones. That's an extreme case but it goes to show there was a lot of pain. That pain has resulted in some shameful behaviour in anonymous online forums.
AZ benefitted from Winipeg's loss so it's not surprising that AZ fans would be the target of that shameful behaviour that resulted from the pain of loss, all stacked on top of that cultural superiority.
It's not like Winnipegers are dicks. They're very friendly, it says so on their license plates. They're just dicks whem it comes to NHL franchise relocation.
