Chum, I am simply sick and tired of pro-Jets lackeys who profess to be NHL fans and yet spend an inordinate amount of time slagging the fan base of a large chunk of that same NHL and then smarmily suggest that they are "not against" fans in those areas when they know damn well they are against those fans and wish them nothing but failure. Nothing but failure. Do you get that? For the life of me, I do not understand how a self-professed hockey fan can harbour such hate for other fans of their sport. Hating the other team is fine, but the other fans, who are just like you? It's disgraceful what these people are allowed to do on this board. The fact that the moderators have allowed a "last night's attendance board to go on for 28 pages when it is solely for that express purpose is a shame, IMO.
Why I am stepping up is because, whenever the southern fans stand up for themselves, they are summarily dismissed as no-account Americans who "don't understand". Well, I am Canadian born and bred, and have been a hockey fan my whole life, and I understand better than any of the snot-nosed teenys that pop up here and there and spout off various iterations of "Jets would sell out every night, the south does not deserve a team", or, for that matter, or even those supposed adults among the pro-Jets folks, most of whom could not read a balance sheet if their life depended on it (with the rare exceptions like Jamiebez, who is comparatively quite thoughtful). Pro-Hartforders are only marginally better, in that at least they have their elitism a little more under check and don't have quite the anti-US vibe about them (only anti-moonshine-states).
