Trying to keep my cool about the Leafs bashing

[TML fan]

I think those who hate the Leafs hate the fact that their team could win 10 Stanley Cups, and the Leafs would still be more relevant.

Win or lose, good or bad, EVERYONE cares about the Leafs.

When I encounter a Leaf hater, I find out what team the idiot cheers for, then tells that person I really don't care about that team or any other team, because as a Leaf fan, the only team I am concerned about is the Leafs.

That problably enrages them more  ;D

I have a friend like that - he doesn't cheer for any particular team, he just cheers for whoever the leafs are playing against.

His office right now has bruins stuff all over it. I bet he couldn't name 5 players on their roster.

I just don't get that mentality at all, seems like such a waste of energy.

those are the worst...

Isn't the whole idea of supporting a professional sports team to the extent that we do kind of crazy to begin with?

Hey, it beats going to church.

Passion is one thing. Obsession is another. Negative passion or obsession is......cookoo

cookoo for cocoa puffs

If you were in Tampa Bay, you'd be Koekkoek for Cocoa Puffs.

Better develop a thick skin.

A pessimistic prediction could be that the Leafs are swept here and don't make the playoffs again for a while.  In that case the mocking will only get worse especially from Bruins fans.

I'd love for the Leafs to have some success, but if you're counting on the Leafs performance to quiet the haters you could be in for a real bad time.

I just remind them, at one time their team sucked the big one too.

Exactly what I'm afraid for

I'm pretty laid back about the Leafs being mocked in the past and I would let it roll off my back but lately I can't stomach one more bad joke and I think going to loose it ! How do you deal with friends who are not Leaf fans ? I should avoid the none Leafs social networking websites for my own good 

I had a Hab friend once. He mocked the Leafs all the time. I got him back, though.

I screwed his wife.

Was she in a coma?

if it really is all about the leafs ..then ultimately ...he is a leafs fan ....he's equally obsessed...just with hatred instead of love

Sometimes it's hard to believe that people like this walk amongst us. We have no idea what makes some people tick.... ???

I totally get it. I've known lots of ABM fans (Anybody But Montreal). They are not real hockey fans, they just get sick of all the fuss. I'm surprised there are not more ABT fans out there but really they had little reason to be active the last 9 years LOL.

The internet must be broken: not a single peep from my Bruins fans tonight.

Just ask the Leaf bashers to read this out loud and preferably surrounded by a bunch of people:  I AM WE TODD IT.  I AM SOFA KING WE TODD IT.
