You’re gonna have to pick a different team from the west. Deboer (former Vegas coach) is coaching Dallas. He’s a big reason they treated players (Fleury) like garbage…and he’s a huge tool. Plus, everything Dallas is worth rooting against.
The bad part is I couldn’t watch all of it. Started watching in the 3rd but when OT2 started I had to give up.
For sure some of that stuff plays into it but mostly it is typical rivalry stuff. Pretty much any 7 game series you will end up hating the opponent. Cheap shot here, a dive there, their coach arguing for something. And once you get to that point the hatred just hangs on forever.
THAT is awesome - thank you !!! One final question......For sure some of that stuff plays into it but mostly it is typical rivalry stuff. Pretty much any 7 game series you will end up hating the opponent. Cheap shot here, a dive there, their coach arguing for something. And once you get to that point the hatred just hangs on forever.
I don’t like Vegas because they were a roadblock for the Avs a couple years. And I didn’t like their coach Deboer because he’s a crybaby. Now I don’t like Dallas because he’s their coach….and it’s Dallas. Transitive hate from the Cowboys :lol:
Or it may be because of one specific player. Evander Kane, Jordan Binnington, Ryan Reeves, Marchand and most of the Bruins. You just can’t not hate those teams.
Pretty much don’t like any Central team because we play them so often. Western conference kind of the same thing. Still hate the Red Wings stemming from mid to late 90’s. But man were those good games. When you have some time to go down the YouTube rabbit hole, Look up some of those Avs-Red Wings fights and even whole games from back in the day. Gotta love it when the goalies meet at center ice and half of each team has their equipment ripped off.
Yeah, I can’t really think of a team I don’t dislike at least a little. Maybe the Sabres and Senators? Woulda said Kraken but they recently joined the s#!t list
Listen, I'm not saying that my hatred is healthy. It actually borders on insanity for the most part, and I'm sort of okay with that. I think it's the "fanatic" part of being a fan. But to give it a bit of completely ridiculous clarity, it either stems for entire teams or certain players (and therefore their teams) like @JJ Husker said. I grew up in CO, and when the Rockies left to become the Devils (so I hate the Devils to this day, plus my wife is a Ranger fan, so I have to), I was a sad little boy without a team. My best friend was from Chicago, so I ended up watching a ton of Hawks games and became a fan because I needed a team. Still to this day I'm a Hawks fan first, Avs fan second. So, I hate the Red Wings and Blues, initially because of the Hawks, but now also for the Avs.
No offense taken ! It makes a lot of sense.Listen, I'm not saying that my hatred is healthy. It actually borders on insanity for the most part, and I'm sort of okay with that.

Can't stand Vegas, they do their players dirty and their fans are obnoxious as hell.
Sorry @admo, but as long as Evander Kane is an Oiler, hate them too.
F the Bruins because of Marchand.
Don't like any of the California teams, because, well, California.
Those are just a few examples. Welcome inside the terror that is my mind.
