I get that it's probably annoying but any fanbase who's team has been a boring laughingstock for basically 10 years and has been patiently awaiting a rebuild that has been teased/gone wrong multiple times, and then sees everything finally come together and the team is now young and awesome... that fanbase deserves to be annoying about how fun and good their team is. If like the Coyotes finally start tearing poo poo up with a young core in a few years, I encourage their fans to be as annoying as possible because they've endured garbage for so long

Where are they annoying online more than every other Metro team? If you're going to root for them to fail, do it because they're knowingly icing someone who committed sexual assault allegedly maybe probably.

My NJ hatred is a combination of this: Spelling Mitsake posted:I'm still mad at New Jersey for playing the boringest style of hockey for like 20 years. And their fans lovingly embracing Scott Stevens while he gave every player CTE and ended careers. They still owe every other teams fans more than a single decade of mediocrity before being good and I wont stand for it.

devils fans have been especially annoying this year due to their insistence on explaining to everyone how not-annoying they are instead of simply embracing their dumb lovely fans like most of the other metro teams. anyway, they are a paper tiger with a bunch of soft euros up front. they stink!

They're gonna get bounced in the playoffs but say "it was a learning experience, they'll be back and better next year!" and then next year they're gonna struggle for most of it and maybe turn it on to sneak into the playoffs where it's 50/50 whether they'll actually do better or just flame out again that's how it goes with young exciting teams you can't change fate

it's the normal state of things for Devils fans to be aggressively asserting that their team is, in fact, good. for years they heard how they weren't actually good, they just trapped and clutched and grabbed and killed hockey. it's also loving New Jersey, everyone even marginally associated with that state has a massive chip on their shoulder at all times. as someone with more reason to dislike the Devils than pretty much anyone though, you don't need to just make poo poo up. just hating them from New Jersey is enough. this is true: fawning deference posted:This is one of the worst cliches in hockey. Yes the 2003 team was boring, but the Devils teams of like, 2009 and 2012 had a lot of scoring and were fun teams to watch, and the famous 1995 and 2000 teams, well, we don't have to go through that AGAIN do we (they scored a lot of goals, like a lot) but even the '03 team was not as boring as the '04 Flames, who may have actually caused the lockout, or the 90s Sabres who were the epitome of clutch-and-grab. the 2001 Devils team led the league in goals! the 99 team was second! they scored more goals in '94 than the Rangers, lol. the trap has also been played for-loving-ever. Lemaire and Robinson played it on the 70s dynasty Canadien teams, and there's literally only so many ways to play defensive in the neutral zone. pretty much most teams played it, it's just that the Devils and Red Wings were very good at it. and even the Sabres were good at using it along with insane hooking and interference. this thread loved the 2010/Vigneault Canucks teams, but one of the reasons I was happy when the Rangers hired AV is that Vigneault had those teams running a phenomenal trap. i genuinely think a lot of this thread + most hockey fans in general saw a team that was very good defensively with a very good goalie and two of the best defensemen of all time and just reflexively said "drat that team must be doing something crazy. they've solved hockey with this unbeatable strategy. it sucks that the team I root for won't try to also do that system that apparently unlocks defensive super powers from Randy McKay and Mike loving Peluso." they suck because they're New Jersey! New Jersey sucks poo poo, smells, and the people are petty and rude and insane! not because they invented playing defense in the neutral zone lmfao
