I understand it's a touchy subject all around. <br /><br />Besides, despite my history of being a still-unproven bandwagon fan (always nice to be able to be a bandwagon fan for 19 straight years, isn't it?), there are tons of fans that I consider "lesser fans" than I am.<br /><br />I still think it's hilarious that we're so deep in Chicago fans' heads that they still don't know how to cheer their own team as well as they know how to cheer against ours. It's really hard to take them seriously.J.J. from Kansasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574833968026556929.post-4666484508220560232010-06-14T16:42:20.237-04:002010-06-14T16:42:20.237-04:00I mentioned to a few other people a couple of thin...I mentioned to a few other people a couple of things that I probably should have added to this post, but I was in a very angry mood when I initially wrote this, and I didn't really care about covering all the angles, and that was probably a mistake on my part.<br /><br />I can understand the people who have legitimate reasons to root for Chicago or against Philadelphia or vice versa.<br /><br />The people who are lesser fans are the ones who don't really have any reason to jump to the Blackhawks, but did anyways. The people who didn't have any personal attachments to one team or the other. The people who just made a snap decision to root for the Blackhawks without really weighing their options.<br /><br />THOSE are the sad, lesser fans.Rob Mastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253945811830336961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574833968026556929.post-18842529056096199042010-06-14T15:30:50.722-04:002010-06-14T15:30:50.722-04:00Removed my comment to edit it, LOL sorry...

I understand where you're coming from but honestly, if the Red Wings aren't in the Final why does it matter who we all root for.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163991902142035222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574833968026556929.post-68073646856835677992010-06-14T15:29:20.873-04:002010-06-14T15:29:20.873-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163991902142035222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574833968026556929.post-41223308578427918382010-06-14T15:14:10.657-04:002010-06-14T15:14:10.657-04:00I can't argue with your logic, I've always...I can't argue with your logic, I've always been less of a Red Wings fan than plenty of other Red Wings fans who have reminded me (although not in ways aimed directly at me) that my rank among fans is beneath theirs. I didn't grow up rooting for them, I jumped on the bandwagon in the mid-90s.<br /><br />The choice here wasn't between being a loyal Red Wings fan and making an excuse not to be though. I rooted for the Red Wings way of hockey, the way that I want to see the game played and, by association, the fanbase that may be stupid, cocky, and new, but is harmlessly so.<br /><br />Philadelphia fans cheered when Army Cadets were injured at Veterans Stadium when a portion of the bleachers collapsed during an Army/Navy game. I will never forgive that fanbase for that.<br /><br />I'm not happy Chicago won the cup and every time I take shit from a Hawks fan, I'm going to kindly remind them how they took six relatively close games to dispatch a team that they should have rolled and that their team, even at their best, was an embarrassment to hockey played the right way.J.J. from Kansasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574833968026556929.post-44005912143998599062010-06-14T15:00:56.945-04:002010-06-14T15:00:56.945-04:00Amen, brother.Amen, brother.marlonbrando_https://www.blogger.com/profile/02440950572901093104noreply@blogger.com
