I dunno about this.
Everyone I know who's a Leaf fan is either mad stressed or has just given up and think they're the butt end of a cruel never ending joke

Steve Dangle disagrees.
What’s the context? Specifically fan-bases about their respective teams? Or does it take into account geographical location and personal financial stability, etc?

The Blues should be elated they finally won a cup, and the Canadiens being 12 is way to low, they always think they should be winning like its the seventies all over again.
And Toronto at 21 ??? Yeah right, that ranking puts this list in the trash bin. They should be Number one without question, IMO.

Leafs not #1?
List is crap.
Leafland = Red Sox pre 2004.

Seeing as a team based in Canada hasn't won the cup in quite some time, I find the list to be weirdly slanted towards American teams being under stress to win. Because of that alone, it's a crap list.

Know plenty of each and the Canadien fans live in the rafters with all their Cups, the Leafs on the other hand, not so much.

Yeah, and it should be more. I mean shit, is there really more pressure on the Blues to win (given they already recently have) than the Leafs or the Habs? It's stupid.

There are only 7 Canadian teams!
I don't think the rankings are based on pressure to win.

Here is a webpage that uses the same algorithm that was used to create the list: TensiStrength - sentiment strength detection in short texts - sentiment analysis, opinion mining
It allows you to type in a test phrase, and see how the system ranks it. I entered "fire don sweeney!", and the result was "not relaxed" and "not stressed".

What a joke this is, the Leafs are #1 and it's not even close.

Yes, I get that. I still believe the pressure on a team like the Habs, who haven't won since the early 90s, or the Leafs, who haven't won since like 1492, is under far greater than a place like STL which won it a few seasons ago.

Not about the pressure on the teams. Not about the teams at all. About the fanbases.

These kinds of responses make me chuckle.
Its "not even close" on a question that has no valid answer.
Are there any experts on all 32 fansbases?

Again, even if you make it just about the fan base, I see this list as being really flawed. I mean I get that a lot of Canadien fans sit around talking about their championships that came before most of them were born like it just happened yesterday, but they're still more desperate to win than a lot of other fan bases given it's been 30 years now...
