Who seems more smug, Chicago fans or Pittsburgh fans?
Ugh, talk about nauseating.
It's as if they all had siblings and cousins actually donning the uniforms themselves. Reminds me of another city not too far off from the Great Lakes.
There are a lot of apparent teens from Canada with join dates in the last year - some within the last month - that are now Chicago Blackhawks fan, and I doubt whether they were 3 or 4 years ago.
These newer "bandwagon" fans seems to be the ones who are particularly smug, much as what we saw with the Pens.
The longtime suffering Hawks fans seem fine, for the most part.

Eh, I wouldn't put much stock into join dates... I mean mine is rather recent, only because I never really knew about these boards.
Not so much the fans but the media is starting to annoy me.
"Chicago learned a lot when they lost in the conference finals, and that puts them over the top now". Where the hell were most of the current the Flyers the year before last? Oh yeah... the conference finals.
I like the Blackhawks from a historic standpoint but they are very similar to the Penguins: Ownership issues (though the Pens almost relocated while the Hawks were save), crap team, back-to-back top first round picks, success returns largely on the back of those picks (rather than smart management), smug fans hop on bandwagon.
Yeah, they're making their team less and less likable from my standpoint.
Teams that do well will get their fair share of bandwagoners. Flyers will have their bandwagon fans as well, hell I'm a pens fan and I am pulling for the Flyers to win it all. I absolutely love the makeup of this team and can honestly say I was rooting for them to beat every opponent of theirs in these playoffs.
Chicago fans have gotten extremely annoying, but not just in Hockey here, ask them to give their assessment about the Bears or the Cubs and you'll hear equally homeristic crap out of them.

best name ever btw! hahha, and this I can attest to, I'm a packers fan and when that team got Cutler you'd think he was the second coming of christ, omg they wouldn't shut the F-up, i've never had a more entertaining season watching a QB fail since... well most years in philly too actually
The lone 5-minute trip that I made to the main boards yesterday ended with me quickly x'ing out, and concluding that Chicago fans are up to par with Pens fans.
I mean the Flyers don't hold a candle to the Hawks in any category, they're just that deep and loaded. How dare Philly even try to compare to the best team the NHL has ever seen!!!111one!!

My co-worker is a Bears fan, and I bet him $50 before last season that once again the Bears wouldn't make the PO's and the Eagles would. I was enjoying it just as much as you were.

I think you're the only one. I think this is the most likable bunch of Flyers in recent year, but come on, they're the big bad bullies and the disgrace of the NHL, aren't they?

Actually there have been quite a few Pens fans showing us some support. Which is funny, because there is absolutely no way I would ever be able to cheer for the Penguins...just would never happen.
I hear this. We all experienced this in our own backyard with the Phillies. Now it's kinda cool to be a Phillies fan, that I also feel like a loser wearing the same Phillies gear I have always rocked.
Not because some of it is older (Thome shirt, lol) but because people ask me who he is.

I would never, ever rout for any of the Atlantic teams. Maybe the Canes or something, hell, even the Caps and Knuble, but never Pittsburgh, Devils or Rangers.
We try to hold ourselves above threads with the sole purpose of wacking another team's fan base. Philly fans don't like it when other people take apart our fan base, so let's be better than that.
