Kidding.
And I agree, most every NHL team has fans that will leave the game early if it's a blowout. Vancouver is not immune to this.
But Vancouver fans(for the most part) are great big jerko's. |

Montreal fans by a long shot! Why? Here are but a few reasons:
- Biggest bandwagon fans on the planet. Don't believe me? Pay close attention when they have losing seasons.
- Boo their team at a drop of a hat. Poor Carey Price. Did they not call him Jesus Price a few years ago?
- Boo other team players for no reason!
- Boo National Anthems.
- Make fun of their hall of famers. Ex.: Chanting Carbo! Carbo! when Gainy was behind the bench. But of course, Gainy was suddenly a genius last year when they went to the semis.
- Arrogance. They think it is their right to win the cup.
- Ole Ole Ole. WTF?
And on and on....... |

| I'm interested to know why Beans has such a hate-on for Vancouver. I go to Vancouver home games quite often (a family friend has season tickets) and I don't see this rampant, terrible behaviour/attitude that everyone seems to be talking their mouths off about. Sure, you can isolate incidents like riots and such, but those generally happen when a couple people get upset and then it spreads and it becomes not about the team or the fans anymore, but about a mob mentality. That has nothing to do with the "everday" attitude of the fanbase, which I believe is quite amicable. |

Absolutely right!! I am biased and have admitted it on several occasions. I dislike the Canucks and everything about them, including their ‘bad’ fans. I say ‘bad’ fans as for the most part it is the smallest portion of any fan base which makes the entire group look foolish. Although, 20,000 people chanting their goalies name when he makes a routine save or stops the puck behind the next gets old incredibly fast. I also hold true that singing the anthem was resurrected in recent years by Oiler fans, but I understand why Canucks fans feel compelled to sing part of the anthem from that moronic opera singer that Van has hired to sing. He is gross.
However, in recent days I have come to terms with the fact that Edmonton truly does have the worst fans. As posters on here prove over and over again, I firmly believe I am the lone Oiler fan with objectivity and a firm perception of the real world.
I wish all Oiler fans were like me.....

I like Mark Donnelly. And seriously, the man can sing... also, bonus points for having the Odds play at your home games.

The fact that you cheer for the Oilers makes me question your firm perception of the real world |

What do you mean thank you for finally admitting it? I never denied it??
And Nux, if you think that fella can sing, you and I must both have a perception different than reality.
But at least we can both watch a video and see a headshot. |

All but the one about the Oilers being awesome are correct.
With the username I have, I should know a thing or two about awesome things with my name!

Beans, as far as i've seen, never denies disliking the Canucks and admits this bias when discussing them. I'll give him that much!
And Beans, as far as our anthem singer, how can you not love a guy with a cumberbund big enough to double as a car seat cover? All kidding aside, i don't mind him overall, but let's face it, he's just an anthem singer and ANY anthem singer who can get a crowd involved (especially in Canada), is pretty good in my mind!
Having said that, i'd be willing to vote us Canucks fans as worst if it means keeping "nuxsux" from making one of his quarterly appearances here? |

| It HAS to be Montreal! Those idiots will burn down their own city at playoff time, win or lose. At the beginning of the season, they all booed Price. Now he's their hero. Bunch of no-mind idiots. |

I hate to admit it, but I have a dislike for four Canadian teams.
Montreal gets clouded by their old traditions and can't admit they haven't won a cup since 1993.
Vancouver fans are disrespectful ie: Laser pointer, Green people (although they are hilarious!).
I am a Flames fan so Edmonton just naturally seems horrid to me.
And Toronto is just Toronto!

Ottawa has the worst fans, Don't seel out allow their captain to get booed at home whenever the leafs vist.
Hands down Leaf fans are the best. Not the ones who can afford to go to the ACC but the ones who traverl to OTT MTL and BUFF and take over the rink!
No other fanbase can / does do that regularly |

Cite poor Toronto fans all you want, just don't forget that very few "fans" get the good seats at the ACC. A huge portion of the lower bowl seats are owned by corporations and filled on a nightly basis with jerks who are there to cement business deals and would rather spend the first 10 minutes of each period eating sushi rather than watching the game. It is absolutely dead down there, and I much prefer sitting up high where the tickets are still outrageously priced, but at least start to fall within the price range of the sort of fan who doesn't mind swilling beer and shouting all game long.
Considering who owns a lot of the season tickets at the ACC, the impressive thing isn't that the Leafs sell out every game no matter what, despite the fact that the team hasn't won anything for decades, it's the fact that they could probably double or triple the arena capacity and there would still be people who want tickets but couldn't buy them at the gate.
Add that to the fact that those true Leaf fans who can't afford the disgusting ACC prices (further marked up by scalpers) flood the arenas in Ottawa, Montreal, Buffalo and even Florida whenever their team hits the road, I'd say those are pretty good fans.
Sure you have the morons who jump on and off the bandwagon, and talk up every mediocre addition to the team as if he were going to single-handedly win the cup, but that's just what happens when you mix passion and an IQ below 85.

Which Canadian city has the worst fans??
This has to be the biggest troll topic ever! This was probably posted by some American from Phoenix or Atlanta or whichever other city is having attendance problems at the moment. He has his feet up on the empty seat in front of him and his laptop on the empty seat beside him and he's laughing his butt off while reading your posts.
Canadian fans rock!!! If you don't believe that, go to any city in the country where Team Canada is playing! End of story. |

Pasty....that's what many Leaf fans believe about a lot of opposing rinks. I hear their claims all the time here when we play them. "Us Leaf fans were louder, blah, blah, blah". I will admit, the Leafs have a huge following here but it's certainly not many making the commute from TO to take over our arena! Not with the cost of air travel in our own freakin' country (that's another topic i should avoid cuz it drives me nuts). While often during Leaf games here, you do hear "go Leafs go" chants momentarily, they're almost immediately drowned out by the Vancouver fans. It'd be almost impossible for there to be more Leaf fans here than Canuck fans at a Vancouver Canucks game!
BTW, same goes with the Habs fans here. There are thousands of them and they def make their presence felt when the Habs are in town!
Thing is, it's not that surprising. My Dad's a huge Montreal fan, but born and raised here. He didn't have the Canucks as a kid and chose to follow the Habs because of that. I cheered for them as well growing up but eventually took to the Canucks. Makes sense that there'd be many Montreal and TO fans here for similar reasons!

IMO, all hockey fans are pretty weak when it comes to the regular season.
I think all Canadian teams rock the house during the playoffs, though.
If anyone is interested, here's a youtube clip of how real fans-and I mean fans in the sense of "fanatics"- act: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMY6Au6e9Ak&feature=related
The clip is of a Polish soccer team's fans in Warsaw. The stadium holds about 33,609, so average for a soccer(football stadium). So imagine half the intensity for a comparison to an NHL game, and I think it still beats any NHL cheering.
The thing that is crazy about the clip is that they are attending a charity game! Though they don't do the flags and murals things often, they do chant like that at most games.
Can you imagine if an NHL game would have people cheering like that? |
