At least some of us don't cheer on other Toronto teams. Pathetic.

The “sad club” is down to two teams, Vancouver and Buffalo. All original six, 1967, 1972 and 1974 teams have won Cups now. Just the lowly 1970 group lagging behind.

1967 - LA, St. Louis, Minnesota/Dallas, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh
1970 - Vancouver, Buffalo
1972 - NYI, Atlanta/Calgary
1974 - Washington, Kansas City/Colorado/New Jersey

I know how this feels. That’s a lonely list, especially when you see Carolina and Tampa celebrating. It was really hard a couple of years ago when Nashville won the west.

It would have been extremely difficult seeing that group celebrate a championship before St. Louis.

Canucks - just win one before Toronto gets back in it. Hang tough.....

It was, however, kinda funny watching Brad Marchand cry and Boston losing another Cup final

Pretty cool that Phish opened their second set with Gloria right after the Blues won the cup. I saw them at MSG 98/12/31 and they opened with Prince's "party like it's 1999". The stadium was shaking under my feet 3 minutes in.
BINGO!

You just wrote "cool" and "phish" in the same sentence.

I've been watching them as a kid since Bosh's rookie season, as soon as the Kawhi deal was made I knew they had a chance this season and then the Gasol deal was the cherry on top

Masai is a hell of a GM/Prez, Raps are luck that they have him after the years of crappy/mediocre management they've had

If blow this though

They will, I absolutely cannot stand BB, but I am officially behind GSW after that typical classless Toronto cheering of Durants injury.

And subsequent defense of actions followed by "mostly good people in Toronto" yada yada.


Sorry Toronto, you were pretty self-righteous in 2011, karma bites.....

There probably isn’t very many soccer fans here, but the US women’s team was pretty classless also, outrageous celebrations on their thumping of Thailand. A few Canadian TSN commentators called them out, but they also had lame defensive comments. A heard some of the commentators received death threats...

What was even more pathetic, was the players defending the classless celebrations.

Ya, I saw. Personally, I think that any travel in and out of the USA should be banned with massive walls built of the borders and just let the American people eat each other.....such a deplorable population...

Petterson will not win the Calder. Binnington has it in the bag.

This is my fear too. I realise reg season voting is done but any chance the league gets to (frank) the Canucks they'll take it. Sorry Petey...

Meh, there’s good and bad in every fanbase. The Canucks fanbase got accused of all being psychos after the 2011 riot and we all know that’s not the case.

Warriors fans started and continued a “let’s go Warriors chant” when one of the Raptors was down and visibly bleeding. The Warriors are considered one of the dirtier teams in basketball.

A lot of Raptor fans have donated to Durant’s charity for kids since the incident. It was over $20,000 last time I checked.

At the very least keep them the fuk off the lakes and rivers I fish. They think they own everything and I'm sick of hearing them want regulations that screw the locals and buying land around the best waters so they can put up no trespassing signs and gate off trails etc... cancerous culture.

Hartford/Carolina won a Cup as well. Only Winnipeg/Arizona hasn’t, and they probably never will.

They could donate that much just returning their empties.

Sports fans lose their damn minds when they get into a mob mentality. Curry’s wife was once intentionally pushed/bumped by a Rockets fan while she was pregnant.

There’s pathetic idiots everywhere
