Totally.
This has basically been my argument for the past 20ish years, and not even just for hockey. I'll get in a discussion with someone from Toronto who says something like Ottawa is boring... well yeah, compared to Toronto, of course we are boring. Toronto has 4-5x the population we do, which means they have 4-5x the entertainment options that we do (because more customers = more businesses can be profitable and stay open = more entertainment options), plus being the business capital of the country they are going to have more high-end entertainment options as well...
And then I remind them that it was their choice to move to Ottawa and they can leave whenever they want, and then they don't ever leave because they have a good job and Ottawa is tenfold more affordable than Toronto is, and that the money they used to buy a house here wouldn't even get them a 2-bedroom apt in some old rundown roach-infested building close to the city center in Toronto, and they shut up for like... 2 days, before badmouthing the fact that Ottawa isn't a 24-hour party town.
Wait, where was I? Oh yeah. Leafs fans. Ugh.
lol can I get a hell yeah?
People do the same thing with Montreal too.
I just don't get it. I guess there are people who just drink and party all the time their whole life.. but I didn't have time even when single to go out more than like 1-2 times a month.
And.. I never ran out of places to go in Ottawa...
Whatever. People are dumb.
