Excellent post, Loyal Hab, and I agree with you. Unfortunately, there are some extremist egos or personalities imbedded in certain fanatical fans, not too unlike extremist religious fanatics. I, myself, am embarrassed by the subhuman behavior displayed by other Americans who were supposed Bruin fans. Take, for example, the moronic animal that decided that enough was enough, and it was thus time to urinate from the upper deck on Hab fans to show Bruin/Boston superiority. For some reason, sports fans from the Mass./New England era are starting to think that they are entitled. It's getting a little stale, and these fans who perform such subhuman acts are unacceptable in society anywhere.
How many Canadians are on the Bruins team? How many Americans are on the Habs? This stuff is stupid - most of us do respect and love Canada.
PS - Overzealous Boston fans need to remember that Philadelphia is the only "Grand Slam City" - in 1980-81 it sent all of its four major professional sports teams to all of the finals championships. The 76'ers went to the 1980 NBA championship, the Phillies won the 1980's World Seriers, the Eagles went to the1981 Superbowl, and the Flyer's went to the Stanley Cup championship. Now I think that Philly is a city that deserved bragging rights.
