          No idea, lol. Despite my nationality I never got hockey-pilled. Much to the detriment of my social life 😞.

          No judgement here, and a complete aside to this post topic, but I find team sport fanaticism fascinating. I live close to two cities with competing professional sports teams, and people can get HEATED over it. I will never understand that. Like, most of those highly paid individuals aren’t from the city their teams are based in. Heck, some aren’t from the same country.

          I guess it’s similar to brand fanaticism? People have weird arguments about Apple vs Windows, Apple vs Android, PlayStation vs Xbox, etc. Like, ya got no stake in that fight dog. The success rate of these multimillion dollar entities does not reflect upon the personal qualities of any particular fan.

          Don’t read into my mad ramblings. I don’t think being a fan, even a hardcore one, is bad. I just personally don’t get it lol. I’m probably the one missing out in all this.

      As a Bruins fan this has always made me happy. They lost 10-0 3 times, Boston was the first for them in 1942.

      No one forgets their first…

      Detroit #2 in 1995

        So… You are one of those folks who get off in being downvoted? I can only assume you get some sort of enjoyment from the response to your trolling.
