Was a leafs fan once but i then realized valuable energy was being wasted on the useless pursuit of something that didnt give anything positive in return. I don't hate them. I just don't care for them. But I do enjoy poking and prodding their blind, wooly and thin skinned followers every chance I get.
I will have to correct you on one point. What fanatics mistake for passion for a crest on any jersey is actually lunacy. I don't feel the need to belong to a fraternity of silliness but if that's your bag... fill your boots. Im simply a fan of good hockey . Something fanatics, especially of the leafs nation variety know little about.
