Gross.
The Maple Leafs are the Yankees minus the success. They bring the arrogance and hubris of Cowboys fans but don't have an interesting lunatic of an owner or even brief snaps of competitive relevance.
If Clippers fans had the arrogance of Lakers fans, they'd be Leafs fans.
I'd rather see Detroit or Colorado blinked from existence somehow, but the Leafs are a not terribly distant 3rd. And while I acknowledge that my hatred of the first 2 is exclusively due to my status as a Blues fan, I thought hating the Maple Leafs was pretty much universal among
all hockey fans.
