Ye Jacobites, by name
I've found the majority of Swedish posters to be much like Swedes in general - self-deprecating and humble, with a streak of pretension at times. Pay attention next time there's a GDT involving Sweden and notice how many of them are saying things like, "We're not going to win this one".
It's too easy to judge a fan base on its trolls, most of whom are teenagers. Every team/nation has them, and Lord knows I've been annoyed with Canada's nearly every time I encounter any topic relating to that country and hockey. But you're doing yourself a dishonest disservice to paint with such broad strokes the stereotypes of any fan base or hockey culture. It is one of the uglier things about rivalries, this sort of jingoism that the other fans are guilty of things that yours are not. And that it can change depending on opponent gives it a certain "We've always been at war with Eurasia" feel.
In short, some fans of any team are dolts.
